STILL DICKERING OVER
HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE
GOV. LEN SMALL MIDDLE

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 10.-States
Attorney Mortimer today proposed
conditions under which he will agree
to grant Governor Small a change of
venue outside of Sangamon county
for trial on the charge of embezzle-
ment of state funds for which the
governor was arrested by Sheriff Mes
ter yesterday. The states attorneys
propositions were:
That the governors counsel file
petition for a change of venue and
confer with Mortimer in an effort to
reach an agreement on some county
acceptable to both the prosecution
and the defense.
That both sides agree to speedy
trial
The states attorney offered the pro.
posals after issuing a long statement
extolling the citizenship of Sangamon
county, where, he said, the governor
could obtain an impartial trial re-
CARELESS OF claims to the contrary.
Mr. Mortimer also paid high tri-
butte to the men who constituted the
grand jury, which indicted Mr. Small
and his co-defendants. Lieut.. Gov.
Fred A. Sterling, and Vernon Curtis,
of Grant Park.
Mr.. Mortimer conferred with At
torney Brundage Immediately after
the latter's arrival in Springfield
shortly before midnight last night and
the proposal for a change of venue
for the governors trial was later said
to have been pronounced acceptable
In making his statement, the STATS
attorney, it was said, was step
ahead of the governor, who, through
his counsel expected to start an early
fight to take the case out of Sanga-
mon county, which, he declared, is the
stronghold of his political enemies.
After the formal arrest of Governor
Small and his arrest on $4,000 bonds.
tension at the capitol, which had been
at high pitch, lessened today. Gov.
Small was arrested, under protest, at
the executive mansion after having
been besieged at the state capitol all
day yesterday by Sheriff Henry Mes
ter and a force of deputies. From the
executive mansion he was taken by
the sheriff to the court house where
bonds were approved
