In spite of the statements OF Fran

Cincinnati, May Emotions to
quash the perjury indictments against
George b. Cox, banker and Republic
an political leader, made by his at
torneys two weeks ago, were granted
ny judge William T. Dickson of the
common pleas ouurt.
Judge Dickson found the indict'
ments defective in substance, this
phase of the decision operating to free
Cox not only from the indictments in
question, but also from reindictment
on the same set of alleged facts by
any subsequent grand jury.
Cox was indicted on Feb. FL and
his case has been fought before fifteen
Judges of the common pleas, circuit
and supreme courts of Ohio, the bat
tie of technicalities starting when Cox
swore off the bench Judge Frank Cor
man, then sitting in the criminal
branch of the court of common pleas
From this point the attorneys fought
the right of a prosecutor to take siml
lar action through the circuit court K
the supreme court of the state, th'
latter body giving out finding which
virtually confirmed the position takel
by Cox's attorneys that the common
pleas court of Hamilton county na'
sufficient jurisdiction to dispose OF tn
questions involved.
Case Returned to Dickson.
Judge Charles J. Hunt thereupo
held the Cox affidavits against Judg
German sufficient, overruled simila
affidavit by the prosecutor directe
against Judge Dickson and connrme
the latter as the trial judge. The m
tion to quash was originally made
fore Judge German, but it reverted
Dickson when the latter was hnall
named to hear the case for al
against Cox.
Judge Dixon holds, in substanc
tnat in calling Cox before the graz
Jury in 1906 and compelling him
testify there, and then indicting nj
for perjury because of that testimor
there was violation of his consti1
tional rights.
Nothing said by the accused
that time before that grand jury c
be the predicate of any crimiI
charge against him by any indi
ment," is the declaration OF Jud
Dickson, which not only frees Cox
solutely upon the present indictme
but holds that he never can be Ia
fully indicted upon the facts set
by the last grand jury or because

hearing in 1906.

Even business men are frequently set
