BRING CHARGES
AGAINST HELM
Attorney Pettus Upholds
Benners-Detectives Ask
Solicitors Removal

As an aftermath of the release by Judge
L. II. Benners of Mrs. Ida Schmidt
charged with the poisoning of Guy Cole
man and Steve Strickland the two de-
tectives who testified against Mrs. Schmidt
were severe yesterday in their criticisms
of Solicitor Hefin for his part In the
case. These detectives are Mrs. Sallie
Wheeler and A. c. Hellwig. They charge
that the solicitor Is incompetent and re
quest an investigation of his conduct in
this cause and ask his removal from
office"
In answer to these criticisms Erie Pet
tus, attorney for Mrs. Schmidt, made
the following statement;
THE interest of the Pinkerton detec-
tives in this case Is unusual, to say the
least, but when It is recalled that their
interest is merely matter of dollars and
cents, 1t can readily be understood. In
regard to the decision of Judge Ben
ners, 1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that he Is fair, fearless and Impair
tial and absolutely above reproach. In
his long and honorable record his deci-
sions have always been governed by
TUE eNiheilSe Deioio hiiii' f"" - any 'iii's'
he has always given the state the BEN
eft of the doubt.
"In regard to Mr.. Hefiin's attitude in
this matter. l desire to say that the SUI
preme court has repeatedly held that it is
as much the duty of the prosecuting at
torney to protect the innocent as 1t is to
punish the guilty. Anyhow. it was Judge
Benners that passed on the merits of
the case and not Mr. Hefiin."
