GOV. SMALL FREED
. OF SOME CHARGES
Missing Word, Signature of
Foreman and Numbering
Affect Indictments.
By the Associated Press.

WAUkEGAN, Ill, December So
Gov. Len Small has been freed of
every charge against him except that
OF conspiring with Lieut.. Gov. Fred
+. Sterling and Vernon Curtis to de-
fraud the state of S2,000,000 during
Mr.. Sterling's term as state treas
urer.
All charges of embezzlement dur
Ing his own term as state treasurer
were stricken from the record, partly
by Judge Claire A. Edwards and
partly by the state. and the court
also quaShed a charge of operating u
confidence game.
Statement by Small.
Last night Gov. Small issued Il
statement declaring that what oc-
Cured this afternoon in the circuit
court of Lake county will lay bare
to the public mind the methods en-
ployed and the inspiration causing
these indi dictmcntS."
The next step in the legal battle
between the governor and his prose-
cutors will be staged here Saturday.
January {, when the defense expects
to present L motion asking for sep
arate trials for The governor and Mr..
Curtis, who are both defendants
under the conspiracy charge. Legal
jockeyinS may postpone the actual
start of the trial u month or more.
A missing word, the position of a
name, three errors in drawing indict-
ments and the shufiiing of d pile Of
papers accounted for the Victories won
by the governor.
The foreman of the Sangamon coun-
ty grand jury signed his name in the
wrong place on the back of an in
dictment charging Gov. Small. Lieut..
Gov. Sterling ana DIR. Curtis Jointly
with emb cZZlement of S700, 600. Judge
Edwards uuashcd the Indictment be-
cause of the forcman's error.
4 typist left the word ''feloniously"
out of q count charging the trio with
operating Il confidence game. The
charge was quashcd.
Two counts in the joint conspiracy
Indictment failed to allege the special
injury supposed to have been done
the state. They were QuaShed.
Another count i'll the same indict-
ment failed to allCGe commission of
an overt act in fuTthcrance of the
alleged conspiracy. 1t was quaShcd.
The clerk of the Sangamon county
circuit court. III afiiNIng consecutive
numbers TO the indictments happened
to pick up the one charging Gov.
Small with embeZZiin@ 100000 first
and gave it the first number. There
fore Judge Edwards ordered this case
tried first, Srd. rather than comply,
the state dismissed the indictment.
