Insist on Delay.
Attorneys c. E. Belcher and ]. A.
Connor, for the indicted senators and
representatives, are insisting that the
trial of Representative Geo. B. Nye,
of Pike, to be called first, be delayed.
Detectives, whom Belcher and Con-
nor say they have retained, are de-
voting their chief efforts to finding
something with which to impeach the
character and testimony of the Burns
detectives. 1t is on this that the de-
fense is thought to place the chief re-
lance for victory, after a fight to pre-
vent admission of the famous dicta-
graph as an exhibit or as evidence
the record taken through it by a
court stenographer.
Between Devil and Deep Sea.
Rumors to the effect that one of the

in which they are representing the
defendants, will not be finished until
the latter part Of the week.

ing to give them day between the

the men indicted for bribery.

Subpoenas for witnesses were pre-
pared by subcommittee of the SEN
ate bribery probe committee to be
served Monday morning.
The committee hearing will be
open to the public, the committee
members having gotten 'cold feet"
when the report was spread that
there would be only star chamber"
sessions. It is expected that the first
subpoenas will be served on newspa-
per men, who will be asked to reveal
the sources of their information con-
cerning alleged corruption. Atty.
Gen. Hogan announced that he would
personally represent the state in the
trial of Representative Nye.
The Franklin county grand jury
will not complete it's probe into the
legislative corruption until the end of
the week. In his search for evidence
against members of the Ohio assem-
bly, already under indictment and
others under strong suspicion Pros
ecutor Turner has struck new
angle. Just what his new line of evi-
dence is he will not say, but it is
known he has told several witnesses
they will not be needed until Thurs
day.

Columbus.-The question said to be
bothering lawyer members of the
Hudson senate investigating body is
whether the committee has any real
authority. Attorneys who have look
ed into the matter seriously doubt
the committees legal standing, and
further research only convinces them
the committee possesses a mere shell
of authority. 1t was reported that
Senator John E. Todd, of Franklin,
the chairman, is extremely doubtful,
but has declined an interview.
If further research convinces attor.
neys the committee has little power
the question will be tested in court.
Two ways are open. State Auditor E.
N. Fullilgton and State Treasurer D.
S. Creamer could refuse to honor
