CORPUS
HRITS m MONTH
WILL BE THAT long BEFORE
TRANSCRIPT OF EVIDENCE
WILL BE AVAILABLE
Interest IS NOW Tagging
Bond FIR Mrs. Reuter- VIII BE In sum
Of $4,000 or MorC--Nlatler May
BE Taken Up Today.

/ With no new developments in sight
for at least month, interest in the
Reuter- murder mystery is waning.
In the care of her many neigh boring
friends, Mrs. Laura Reuter- is slow
ly recovering from the severe strain
of the past two weeks Her two lit
tie children, Marcella, age Z, and
John, age A, rendered fatherless by
cruel bullets of a midnight assassin,
are playing around the home, appar-
emily unmindful that their only re-
naming parent must stand trial be-
fore a tribunal of twelve men to de-
termine whether she shall lose her
liberty or not.
No arrangements for bail for Mrs.
Reuter- were Lade yesterday, and it
is probsble that none will be made
for at least a month. The present ar
rangement of allowing Mrs. Reuter-
her freedom on her own recognizanee
although almost unheard Of in a mur-
der case, Is apparently satisfactory to
the state.
That It will be a month before ha-
baes corpus Proceedings VIII be
started by counsel for the defense in
an effort to have the other three de-
PENDANTS, Guy Mckenzie Bud Bellew,
and Joe Baker. released on bail, was
indicated yesterday, when the court
reporter stated 1t would be a month
before he could have the transcript Of
the evidence ready.
In the meantime active steps to dig
up additional evidence by both sides
has been started in a vengeance.
What new evidence may be brought
TO light between now and the probable
date of the final trial, next August,
will not be made public, as the attor-
neys are working carefully, trying to
conceal their efforts from the other
side
1t is possible that bail arrangements
for Mrs. Reuter- will Re made today.
County Attorney Pat Malloy stated
he would allow her to make
bond in the sum OF $1O.OOO or S16.OOO. !

COUNTY CONMISSIONERS. CON-
TRACTORS AND ARCHITECTS
BRAND THEM FALSE.
CHANCES FAVORED COUNTY
Say Courthouse Is Best in state ana
That II Was Built Within LlmiIs
of Appropriation for It.

Declaring that everything connected
with the building of the county court
house was regular, and that any
change made in the plans and specifi-
cations worked to the advantage of
the county, the board of county com
missioners. the architect and contrac-
tors who erected the building yester-
day denied the truthfulness of the ru-
mors as enumerated the first of tho
week by John V. Starr, a Tulsa ar
chitect These rumOrs were to the
effect that many changes made in the
plans and specifications after the let
ting of the contract, worked to a dis
advantage for the county.
The commissioners, architect and
contractors yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement;
1T will be remembered that at the
beginning Of the construction Of the
Tulsa county courthouse, the subject
Of Architect STAIRS TRADE, that it
was the extreme object to keep the
building within the price limits of the
bond issue for same. AS a consequence
extravagant methods Of construction
and high priced materials could not
be considered. and when bids were
taken it was found that the lowest
responsible bid submitted was $15,
53G below the estimated cost, which
was 100000, and $10,2l1 below the
next lowest bidder.
This, of course, was fortunate for
the county, inasmuch that it would al
low OF the use Of better interior fin
ishing materials, which the building
really needed, and the following i'm
were made marble was
used for interior halls, stairs and lob
bes, replacing cement as originally
called for; heavy gyp tile partitions
We're used instead Of the light fabri-
Gated steel partitions; all glass
was changed from ord-
nary sheet glass to plate glass; metal
doors with frames, metal windows
were used instead Of wood as orlgi-
nally called for IN many places. All
this necessarily incurred extra expense
for which the county received fun
value. none of which extras were eX-
cessive In price the combined amounts
Of which aggregated S9,731. This, to-
gether with the original bid Of $174.- !
AGA totaled $1S4,195, which Is then yet
$3.50 below the next lowest bid.
No Extrayagant Expenditures.
This goes to show that there was
no extravagant expenditure of money
and that we certainly have received .
he value fo' the money spent. There
we're several minor changes which in
,urred no extra expense to the coun-
ty, but was advantageous to It in
very respect. The mortar used in

poratiOn under the sherman anti

on cross examination, Mr.. Marshall
named over a score of railroads, some

In most cases, he said, the American
Bridge company, a subsidiary Of tho

Got Panama Contract.
The witness said his coEcern had
frequently obtained contracts from tho
Pennsylvania railroad company, for
which the Pennsylvania Steel COM
pany, controlled BY the Pennsylvania
railroad, was a competitive bidder His
company also got the contract for
building the locks Of the Panama cam
al in competition with the American
Bridge company he said.
Mr.. Severance used this testimony
together with statements showing the
II crease IN the McClintic- Marshall
companys business since 1900, the
date Of its organization, and that OF
the American bridge company, also,
t. point out how an Independent con-
cern had thriycd under the American
Bridge company's alleged intent to
monOpOlize the bridge Industry as
charged by the government. Mr.. Sew
erauce brought out from the witness
that his company's business had in
creased relatively more than that of |
the American Bridge company.
Marshall said, however, in response
to a question by Mr.. Dickinson, the |
government counsel, that there had |
fs1a comparatively little growth Of
the independent firms in existence
when the bridge company was Or
ganiZed.
At that time, in the opinion Of the
witness, the American Bridge COM
pany absorbed about Is per cent of
the principal competitive business OF
the country and its present share was
70 per cent. A number of small con-
Germs, however, was not included in
this estimate, he admitted. The steel
corporation contends that the bridge
company's productive capacity at the
date Of its organization was only in
