COX INDICTMENTS QUASHED
But STATE STILL FIGHTS TO
TRY BOSS ron Perjury.

Judge Dickson Rules That He Was Made
to Testify In violation Of His Rights
Prosecutor says the Decision
Proves That Cox Ruies the Court.
CINCINNATI. May 2o-George B. Cox.
veteran Republican boss Of Cincinnati
and Hamilton county. was freed to-day
by Judge William l.. Dickson from charges
Of perjury through the quashing OF the
two indictments against him. The fret
indictment was returned on February q!
and WAS based on the fact that Cox had
testified before q previous Grand Jury
that he had never received graft whereas
an ex-County Treasurer testified TO
having paid him SIS. 500. a part Of so-oalled
"gratuities" received from city banks
favored with deposits Of city and county
funds.
A few days later a second indictment
was reported against Cox for a similar
transaction in which he had received
81, 500.
Following the first indictment Cox
demanded an immediate trial and criti-
cised Judge Frank NJ. German, Democrat
who had instructed tho Grand Jury. and
that body also. for which the boss mar
rowly escaped trial for contempt Of court.
The circuit Judiciary Of the State was
brought into the matter when the Chief
Justice had phases Of It for adjudication.
In one Of his moves Prosecutor Hunt
charged that Judge Dickson had been
nominated and elected by Boss Cox

stitutional rights we're violated when he
was called before a Grand jury in 1903 and
forced to give the Testimony in which, It
WAS charged In the indictments. he per-
jured himself: Prosecutor Hunt had made
fight to have the motion to quash heard
on only one Indictment. so that II one was
q,iashed Cox could still be held on the
other.
Assistant Prosecutor Cash and Avery
went before the Circuit Court later to-day
and asked for n writ Of mandamus against
Judge Dickson in order to save one Of tho
indictments against Cox. They seek to
! compel Judge Dickson to permit the
Prosecutor to elect one Of the two indiot-
ments on which to try Cox. The Circuit
Court at once granted an alternative
writ returnable next Monday.
The effect OF this action was to tie up
all proceedings in Judge Dickson's court
| entry in his decision on the motion to
| quash and reopens the states fight TO
save at least one indictment
Prosecutor Hunt also filed q motion in
the Common Pleas Court for a rehearing
| Of the indictment matter. Mr.. Hunt in a
statement after the decision said:
The people have already and aptly
coupled II with Cox's 8 announcement that
he is and will continue to be the boss Of
| this city and county. including the courts.
! still believe We will have an opportunity
| to show by sworn evidence that George
b. Cox was a perjurer and CRATER"
Cox simply says that he is not surprised
at the verdict and is glad it is all over.

THE GRAND TRUNKS VICTORY.
New Haven Says That Objections Were
Sustained.

New Haven. May s.--Vice President
f. c. auckland OF the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad company,
who had charge Of the interests of that
corporation In connection with the Grand
Trunks proposed entry into Providence,
made statement Saturday as follows:
As a result of the recent legislation,
the Grand Trunk has been permitted to
come into Providence upon the terms de-
manded BY the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company, to wit,
that there shall be no crossing of its
tracks at grade and that there shall be
no use of its terminals.
From the time when the Grand
Trunk, in 1910. first asked for charter,
the New York, New Haven and Hart.
ford Railroad company officials stated
that the giving of such a charter would
not be opposed, but that such company
must provide its own terminals, use
its own tracks and avoid any grade
crossings. This was apparently agreed
to by the Grand Trunk. but at this ses-
sion of the legislature of Rhode Island,
it attempted to obtain grade cross
ing and through the influence of the
city TO acquire the right to operate over
the New Haven company's tracks. The
Legislature has refused to grant either
of these requests and the only obliga-
tion which the New Haven company
has been required to assume is to see
to it that the cost of the line, which
avoids grade crossing, shall not ex-
coed the cost of the line which involves
grade crossing.

William Cullen Bryant Broke the News
Gently to His Mother.

The following letter from William

by Professor Chubb in stories of Au

joke on occasion:
Dear Mother-I hasten to send you
the melancholy intelligence of what
has lately happened to me. Early on

house in this village. Several people
Of both sexes were assembled ia one
Of the apartments. and three or four
others, with myself. were In another.

man. pale. thin. with a solemn counte-
nance. pleuritic voice. hooked nose and
hollow eyes. Ii was not long before
we were summoned to attend In the
apartment where he and the rest Of
the company were gathered. We went
in and took our seats The little eld
erly gentleman with the hook nose
prayed. and we all stood up. When
he had finished most Of us sat down.
The gentleman with the hooked nose
then muttered certain cabalistic ex-
pressions. which was too much
frightened TO remember, but / recol-
lect that at the conclusion / was given
to understand that was married to

He was Mcconnell personating a

he had come from among the better
English classes, being his family's
black sheep. Knowing that had seen
him leaving a room In which he had
no right, he had slipped the brooch

They all sneered at this, but called
the police. ! asked them to tell Char

offender"
They did watch Sir David, though
they would not admit to me that they
were doing so. When the police came,
Bowers and another man in plain
clothes were admitted by a back door.

0rme listened for sound without,
hoping that some one might call for
him or that the actress might be
missed and would be hunted for,
though no one would think OF looking
for her in his dressing room. A clock
licked on the wall before him. He
glanced at It and saw that 1t was but
a few minutes before he would be
called to go on the stage. But that few
minutes might be enough to end his
earthly career.
A dagger was lying on cabinet
among other property articles. The
girl seized It and advanced toward the
tragedian. He was watching her eager
ly. AS soon as he saw her take up the
weapon a crafty look came into his
own eyes, Without looking away from
her he reached back and placed his
hand over small bowl.
In another moment Miss Kent sprang
at him and brought the knife down on
