MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanviIIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danyille, Tl.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
rision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him
The court instructed Jones 80 an
Bwer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
Immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation

now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted. but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

MURDERED UNDER
HYPNOTIC SPELL
Russian Doctor Slew AriStoCratS
With Hypodermic.
DIPHTHERIA BAClLLI USED
Confesses to Wholesale Killings, but
Charges That Count de lassy
Held Him Under
Spell.

St Petersburg. - DR.. Pantchenko,
who has confessed to poisoning
Count Vassilli Bouturlin, for whose
murder both he and the count S
brother-in-Iaw, Count O'Brien De
Lassy, are on trial, again pleaded
guilty His counsel asked him wheth-
er De Lassy had offered him $1,000
to poison Count Bouturlin, s25, 600 to
poison General Bouturlin, and S250,000
to poison the generals second wife.
To all three questions Pantchenko an
swered in the affirmative.
The widow of the murdered count
detailed in her testimony the circum-
stances of his death. She and her
husband had been spending Easter at
the generals estate in Wilma province.
Her husband was then in perfect
health. Later he left for St. Peters
burg, and on May % she received an
urgent telegram calling her to his
bedside
When she arrived she found he had
been subjected to spermo injections,
and that it was too late to save him.
She never had hidden her suspicious
that De Lassy and Pantchenko were
responsible for her husbands death.
The witness wept when Count BoutuT-
Inns letters were read in court.
Pantchenko sets up the defense that
he committed the crime while under
the hypnotic influence of the count.
The whole empire is interested in
the case because of the wholesale con-
fesston made by Pantchenko. Every
mysterious death Of recent years is
recalled and there are rumors that
the poisoner may have been engaged
to cause the death of members of the
royal family. He has admitted that he
made a business of killing for hire,
heirs, rivals in love, insistent creditors
and, in fact, any undesirable persons
whose enemy was prepared to pay lib
orally for their sudden taking off.
The poison doctor, according to the
police, has admitted causing about
forty deaths, his fees running as high
as S250,000 for a single assassinatio
His method was to inoculate the pa
tent with cholera bacilli after he had
been called to the bedside in his pro
fessional capacity. Ordinarily 1t was
necessary that the proposed victim
should be caught while indisposed and
some Tuse adopted to bring about
Pantchenkos attendance. He is now
credited by some with having orig
mated the cholera epidemic of a few
years ago.

post Office department from the post
masters at whose Offices banks have

the popular criticism Of the law is that
the limitation imposed as to the
amount of money which may be &C
cepted from patrons is too small.
