NEW INDICTMENT NOT
YET SERVED ON cox
Efforts of Officials of Prose-
cutting Attorneys Office in
Cincinnati UnavaiIing.

on the part of the official force of the
prosecuting attorneys Office to locate
George B. Cox today to serve him with
the new indictment issued yesterday by
the grand jury. charging him with per-
jury, proved unavailing. Up to late
hour tonight nothing had been heard
of the leader Of the republican party.
Officials say there is little doubt that
attorneys for Cox intend to make use
of the fact that the indictment was not
served during Judge Germans term on
the criminal branch Of the common pleas
bench. 1t has been ccntended by Cox's
attorneys that unless the indictment Is
served before Judge German retires at
midnight tonight the change Of venue
granted yesterday by Judge German
which would remove the Cox trial from
this county to Batavia in ClermOnt
county will have no effect.
Prosecutor Henry T. Hunt has issued
a statement holding that the serving of
the Cox indictment before Judge German
retired from the criminal branch of the
court will make no difference whatever.
Judge German adjourned his court
shortly after noon today, when he found
that Cox had not been served with the
Indictment but he remained within call
Of the prosecutors Office until late into
the night to be prepared for any emer-
gency that might arise with the serving
of. the Indictment on Cox.
Prosecutor Hunt, following a rumor,
called Gov. Marshall of Indiana over the
long-distance telephone this afternoon
and asked him to have Cox apprehended
if he was on Laughrey Island, Ind.
Hunt was notified, however. that in or
der to carry out his plan he must come
to the county in which Laughrey Island
is situated and swear to an affidavit that
Mr.. Cox was in that county.
When he learned of this the prose-
cutOr abandoned the idea.
