offered to hold the 6 sacks of tobacc,

Cffered to hold the D SACKS of TOBACCO
WI 4e uaIer made the purchase.
Waller comnlied WITH .hn rnouost
handed the tobacco to Riley's friend
bought the magazines, returned and
received the tobacco and proceeded to
the county Jail.
There deputy sheriffs declined to
pass the consignment through to Riley
ard Waller sought the services of an
attorney. The attorney, too, failed
in his effort to induce the officers TO
pass the tobacco.
Later on, looking over one of the
sacks he discovered a number of yen
rok pills cunningly secreted beneath
the label.
He notified the officers forthwith
and a warrant was sworn out for
Walters arrest, although it was not
until nearly month later that he was
apprehended.
A curious fact about the efforts Of
fellow-addicts to smuoole some of the
soothing drug in to Reilly was the fact
that they actually succeeded, accord
ing to the testimony this morning of
Albert Connors, an inmate of the
county Jail serving sentence on a
petty larceny charge.
Connors testified that the suit Of
clothes, intended to have been deliv-
cred by Waller were actually deliv-
cred and when they were placed in
Reilys hands the padding in both
shoulders were ripped out disclosing a
oozen yen-pok pills.
Waller throughout declared that he
had been ignorant of the opium hid
den in the tobacco despite a searching
examination by Deputy District At
torney E. R. Simon.
At the close of his address to the
jury, the prosecution characterized
Walters tale as a cock and bull story
Attorney o. V. Wilson for the defense
secuted the assumption that Waller
was cognizant Of the contents of the
tobacco sack when he walked into the
jail, and recited a series of facts to
uphold his contention.

STATE OFFICERS
TO Be EXAMINED

Report of Treasurer Deal
Starts Rumpus and Then
an Investigation.
QUIZ WILL INCLUDE
REPUBLICANS RECORD
G. o. P. Leaders Attempt to
Rule House, But Democrats
Put One Over.

Jefferson City, Jan. 22-The House
of Representatives this morning voted
to conduct an investigation by a COM
mittee, of all State Departments, as
a result of State Treasurer Deals re-
port criticising the heads of depart
ments for extravaganza.
. The resolution was introduced by
Representative William r. Wilder of
Ste. Genevieve County, Republican.
Before passage it was amended by the
Democrats so that on the final vote
the Republicans voted against it and
it was adopted by the Democrats on
party vote.
Speaker Boyd appointed as mem
bers of the committee representatives
Farris of Phelps County, Simpson of
Lewis County, Correll of Randolph
County, Democrats and Ing of Butler
County and Harr of Clark County,
Republicans.
The resolution introduced by Wilder
recites that in view of the fact that
Deal has made charges of unusual ex-
penditure of money by State Depart
ment heads and that the correctness
of his view has been challenged and
that the expenditure of public mon-~
is of vital Importance to the taxpayers
of the State, that committee shall
be appointed to investigate the
charges.
The committee is given power to
summon witnesses and to report if
public funds were properly expended
in 1914 and to recommend what
amounts should be appropriated for
