ABSENCE OF JUDGE SPEER

MACON, GA. Oct 5.-The case OF
contempt of court against Colonel w
A. Huff for sending a fiery letter to
Judge Emory Speer will be sounded
though not tried, in the United States
court before Judge Grub on Monday
The district attorney is unable to pro-
coed with the prosecution because OF
the absence of Judge Speer, who is in
Nova Scotia. where he went immedi-
ately following the institution Of con-
tempt proceedings in August
Judge Grub was appointed to pre-
side because of the supposed disuuall-
f1cation OF Judge Speer but it seems
that the government reckons upon the
latter as the only witness against Colo
mel HUFF, and without him the trial
can not proceed.

NO HALF-HOLIDAYS
ON SATURDAYS IN
DYNAMITE TRIALS

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5.-Contrary to
the usual custom Of adjourning Federal
court at noon Saturdays Judge Ander-
son has decided to hold afternoon SEES
sions on that day throughout the trial
of the dynamite conspiracy case now
being heard.
This will give the case six full days
of six hours each in court The facts
that there are as defendants, that the
case is exceedingly complicated and
that there will be about 500 witnesses,
making the trial a matter of three
months at least, are the reasons for
holding sessions of court whenever pos
sible.
1t is quite possible that before the
case finally has been presented to the
jury it will run into night sessions.
District Attorney Miller who already
has devoted one entire day to telling
the jury what the government expects
to prove against the alleged dynamite
conspirators, continued his long state
ment today and probably will not con
clude before Tuesday.
AS rule, the merely curious would
be spectators are not being granted

is small and Is pretty well occupied by
