BOSS COX ATTORNEYS CAUGHT
MAPPING BY PROSECUTOR

Cincinnati, o., April 1.-George b.
Cox's legal forces, which since Feb
ruary 21, with apparent success, have
been waging war of technicalities
against the indictment charging the
financier and republican leader with
perjury, yesterday were outflanked.
The grand jury, on the eve of its
mastering out, returned a fresh indict-
ment charging perjury upon which
Prosecuting Attorney Henry T. Hunt
Immediately obtained a change OF
venue, and, as a consequence, Cox
faces the prospect of being forced into
an open fight in the courts of Vermont
county, before the complicated situa-
tion in Hamilton county, the original
seat of war, has been cleared up.
No leader of the Cox legal army was
near the scene of action when the
prosecutor consummated this strategy.
They arrived in force few minutes
later and when they learned the full
significance of the movement they
were for the time being, at least, pow
erless to offer effective opposition.
Yesterdays indictment was the third
returned by the retiring grand jury
against Cox. The first was nolled be.
cause of defect and the second is
now before the courts of Hamilton
county.
The ne windictment is identical with
the second except that the word claw
full" is inserted in one sentence. Pros
eeutor Hunt announced that the sec
ond indictment would not be nolled but
that the fight on it would be carried
on through the supreme court of the
state if necessary.
