dictments returned yesterday against
him, Lieutenant Governor Sterling
and Vernon Curtis, Grant Park, H.,

States Attorney Mortimer. it is re-
ported, will be on hand to contend
that the governors position does not
make him immune from arrest and
that warrants issued against Small
should be served.
Lieutenant Governor Sterling was
expected to appear in the court tomor-
row morning to give bond unless his
attorneys attempt to show that he
also may, on constitutional rights, re-
sist arrest. Curtis bonds were ar
ranged today

the "a hours since issuing the indict-
ment of Small. Sterling and Curtis for
alleged monopolization of state treas
ury funds. which, according to the
charges. involve $4.000.000 used by
the trio for private gain.

er the national guard would be mus
tered to keep the sheriff from serving
warrants on the governor. were the
