 WOULD NOT STAND

Cincinnati, O., March 2o-George H. Cox's affidavit of prejudice and bias" against Judge Frank German, by which the indicted political leader sought to bring his case before some other jurist of the court of common pleas, was thrown out of court by Presiding Judge Charles Hunt in decision handed down today.
 Judge Hunts decision was that tho statute providing for the filing of preju-- dice affidavits to swear judges off the bench, is so framed that it applies to other counties of Ohio but not to Hamil- ton county. He therefore refused to act on the Cox affidavit
 Judge Hunt suggested that if any ques- ton whether he has the power to act on the affidavit a madamus proceedings must be brought and an effort to have the superior courts determine whether the law does apply to Hamilton county.
 He found that the affidavit is suffi- cient in law and fact to give the supervis- ing judge of the common pleas court Jurisdiction to act, but in Hamilton county there is no supervising judge. The law is not applicable to this county.
