Democrats Play g.
Cant Lose" Came
Will Make Political Capital
Out Of Demand for State
la House Probe.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 15.-(Special9
Democratic politicians are starting
a beautiful game OF "heads l win,
tails you lose" in connection with
the Forthcoming Lancaster county
grand jury. s
The democratic machine has sent
a paid investigator to Lincoln to
go through the state house records
in an attempt>to find material with
which to smirch the state administra-
ton. If it is found possible to twist
the facts to the discredit Of the state
officers, the democrats plan to de-
mand a grand jury investigation OF
these officers. Then, if the jury crit
icises their conduct, the democrats
can be gleeful.
On the other hand, if the jury
fails to do so, the democrats can at
tack Attorney General Davis and
others connected with the jury for
not taking such action. Either way,
the democratic machine expects to
make political capital out Of the
situation. st, b, 4 s

Indicted Men
Fail to Appear
In Court Here
District Attorney Learns of
Grounds on Which Masse
And Wohlberg Seek
Habeas Corpus Writ.

Jacob Masse and Charles Wohl.
berg, wanted by federal authorities
here on charges OF using the mails to
defraud in connection with the pro-
motion of the William Berg Potash
company, did not appear in Federal
court yesterday morning although
Judge Woodrough was anxious to
see them.
A. L. Sutton, attorney represent
ing Masse and Wohlberg, told Judge
Woodrough that he had sen: a tele-
gram to the attorneys in Los An
geles, Cal, representing the mon
there, to have them in Omaha to
appear in court yesterday.
Il sent them telegram several
days ago telling them to be sure and
send Masse and Wohlberg here" !"
Attorney Sutton said. "All I can
do now is to file my telegram will,
J. c. Kinsler, United States district
attorney, to show my part in the af-
fair.
Will File Telegram.
Judge Woodrough permitted Mr..
Sutton to file his telegram with
other information in the case.
Masse and Wohlberg were in
court in Los Angeles some time ago,
seeking to put through habeas cor
pus action. After hearing the evi-
dence, the Los Angeles judge took
the matter under advisement. ]. C..
Kinsler said yesterday he had heard
nothing regarding the California de-
cision.
For the first time, District Attor-
ney Kinsler learned yesterday on
what ground Masse and Wohlberg
applied for writs of habeas corpus.
He was able to CLEAN this informa-
ton from certified copies of the ap-
plication for which he wired and
which arrived this morning.
Allegations Denied.
The two deny allegations Of con-
spiracy to use the United States
mails to defraud; state that some of
the parties mentioned to the suit are
dead; assert that the indictments re-
turned against them fail to charge
them with anything specific and
further, that the government, at its
recent hearing in Los Angeles, at
tended by the Postal Inspector Cable,
from Omaha, failed to introduce re-
buttal testimony to their showing
that they had committed no overt
acts.
The latter is an interesting COM
plication, since Coble was present
with a trunkfu1 of evidence and ac-
companied by Kriess, former officer
iii the William Berg Potash COM
pany, now chief witness for the gov
ernment. AS little of this testimony
as possible was divulged, in order
not to acquaint Masse and Wohlberg
with the exact evidence held against
them, prior to the trial.
Next Move Undecided Upon.
The application for a writ also
petitions the judge to require federal
officials here to certify what these
charges are.
Pending the result of County At
torney Shotwell's efforts to bring
Masse eand Woh1berg back on the
state charge, Kinsler has not an
nounced what he will do next
He stated recently that if the
judge held there were any flaws in
the indictments, new ones world be
drawn Up.
