LEGAL BATTLE
IN COX CASE
COMPLICATED
THREE JUDGES ARE SWORN OFF
THE BENCH IN THE CASE OF
THE CINCINNATI 5oss-PRo-
cEEDINes AGAINST TWO MORE
JUDGES STARTED.
Nv Associated Press.

Cincinnati, o., March 2S.-There ap-
pears that in all probability the legal
tangle preceding the trial of George
B. Cox for perjury will reach the SUI
preme court of Ohio within a day OF
two. This deduction comes from a
move made today by attorneys for Cox,
after Judges Swing, Smith and E. A.
Jones had been ruled off the bench by
Presiding Judge Thomas A. Jones.
The first step today was a decision
handed down by Presiding Judge Jones
that Judges Swing and Smith, against
whom affidavit, charging prejudice and
bias in favor of Cox had been filed by
Prosecutor Hunt. must vacate the
bench. The affidavit, filed by Cox's at
torneys. asking for the elimination Of
Judge E. A. Jones was then made and
promptly sustained by the presiding
judge. Hearing on the mandamus pro-
ceedings against Judge Chas. Hunt and
the injunction prohibiting Judge Cor
man from trying the Cox case were
then begun. After the end of the argu-
ments the court announced he had
taken the case under adviseInent.
Meantime attorneys for Cox had
given notice of appeal to the supreme
court of Ohio.
