DIsMIssAL OF STATES ATToR-
NEY LEAVES GRAND JURY
WITHOUT PROSECUTOR, BUT IN
vESTIGATloN is PUSHED.

Danville, ILL.,, Feb 15.-With the
grand jury working without an official
prosecutor this morning, it was report
ed on reliable authority that 200 in,
dictments had been voted for vote sell.
ing in addition to large number
against "Mr. Higherup" for perjury.
The dismissal of States Attorney
Lewman from the grand jury room
terday created one of the biggest SEN
saticns Of the vote selling investiga-
ton.
It is said that Lewman merely
asked the witnesses perrunctory ques-
tons and this SO nettled Foreman
woodward that he asked the prose
cutor to be more specific and try to get
all the information possessed by the
witness. Lewman is said to have re-
piled that he would conduct the in
vestigation as he though best, without
the assistance of any of the jurors.
This led to the break.
George C. Weisiger of Catlin, an at
torney and member of the grand jury
is assisting Foreman woodward this
morning in quizzing the witnesses. The
ante-room was full OF politicians and
If each is quizzed as long as the first
two, the probe will not be concluded
Friday as predicted
1t was stated today that an effort
would be made to have Harry H. Whit
lock, former county treasurer, who re-
turned to Detroit, to appear before
the grand jury, and also e. X. Leseure
son-in.law of Speaker Cannon, as soon
as he recovers from an attack Of rheu-
