that does not charge its client

This agency wanted to start a

newspapers.

four newspapers were sum-
moned to consult with the

Rodney !. DIegle, Convicted CRATER,
Makes Confession, Says cieve-

q
CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 4.-Tho
Cleveland Plain-Dealer says today
that Rodney I. Diegle has made a
confession OF bribery and corruption
In the Ohio legislature.
According to the Plain Dealer Die
gle has been voluntary prisoner
with Ben f. Allen, the newspaper g
Washington correspondent, and a
friend OF Diegle for years, and a rep
resentative of the state for the past
five days, during which time at San
dusky, Cleveland. Detroit, Mt Glenn
ems and en- route between these
places, he was giving the details of
his alleged confession. The Plain
names. The confession Is being re-
served for the Franklin county grand
jury at Columbus.
The story stays In part:
"The convicted sergeant-at-arms of
the Ohio senate has told his story,
sickening in many OF its details, of
a trail OF bribery and graft which
leads to the doors of many members
OF the Ohio general assembly. II is
a story extending from the Offices and
places of business Of the successful
lawyer. manufacturer and merchant,
to the low dives and brothels Of Co
lumbus.
The confession, however, which
was laid before state officials yester-
day, has not satisfied the prosecutors
Of the bribery investigation. Prosecu-
ting Attorney Turner and Attorney
General Hogan insist Diegle knows
more than he has revealed. Diegle
told his story In the hope OF secur-
ing immunity from the penitentiary
sentence now hanging over his head.
Immunity will not be granted ON tho
story so far recounted."
