BRUNDAGE TO FILE
CIVIL SUIT AGAINST.
SMALL-STERLING,
COURTS WILL BE CALLED UPON
TO FORCE REPAYMENT OF
MONEYS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
RETAINED BY EX-STATE
TREASURES.

Chicago, July 22--,Suits to recover
the 100000 Governor Small is &C
cused Of having embezzled while
state treasurer will be filed by Attor
ney General Brundage, regardless OF
developments in the criminal pro
ceedings.
Brundage, arriving in Chicago yes,
terday, from Springfield, said he had
ordered his assistants to prepare the
suit. How much time will be re-
CURED is not yet known, he added.
Suits also will sbe filed against
Lieutenant Governor Sterling, indlct-
ed with Governor Small.
THE money is owing the people
and 1t must be returned" said Mr.
Brundage. IF the defendants fail to
make restitution, their bondsmen
will have to pay"
Opponents of the governor prefer
that the civil suits be heard before
the criminal charges. They pointed
out wider latitude for examining
witnesses is afforded by civil trial
and only preponderance Of evidence
Ia necessary to show guilt, while in
criminal trial the prosecution must
prove the defendants guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt. This often restricts
the prosecution to narrow confines.
They also said judgment against the
governor and lieutenant governor
would warrant impeachment proc
ceedings on the ground neither had
qualified, within the meaning of the
law, when they took office.
Mr.. Brundage insisted on his pre-
vious contention that the two highest
officials in the state were not immune
from arrest Because the question is |
to be argued today before Judge |
Smith in the Sangamon county cir. |
cult court at Springfield. Brundage |
said he would take no immediate ac.
ton.
States Attorney Mortimer is han
ding the case" he said. HE has not
asked me for assistance and | have
not assigned him one of my aids.
Nobody wants to humiliate the
governor or cause him any unneces-
sary annoyance. We want to give
him a reasonable time to answer the
indictments.
II don't believe that there is any
disposition on the part OF the sher-l
if to show him any discourtesies.
