PREF.
Three true bills were re-
turned to court in the third
partial report of the Rock
Island county grand jury
which reconvened this morn
ing after a two-day recess.
The indictment of Bert Car
han, also known as Burt Du-
Prez, for perjury, added an
other name to the list of per-
sons implicated in the inves-
tigation of Rock Islands
underworld.
None Of the four named in true
bills has been arraigned, but Cox
and Ortell are Already under bond;
Looney is Q fugitive from federal
and state Indictments, and DuPrez,
It Is expected. will be arrested be-
fore evening. He was in county
coust yesterday to pay a-$60O fine
for having liquor in his possession
for sale. His Indictment connected
up with the county court case for
the perjury charge was based upon
testimony given before the grand
jurors Friday. almost simultaneous
ly with DuPrez' appearance in the
county court on the liquor charge.
While county court jury was
nearing evidence upon which it
found DuPrez guilty, he was before
the grand jury denying that he
ever sold liquor, ever had any
liquor for sale in his possession or
ever employed anyone to sell in
toxicants.
Grand jury action in this case
was speedy. 1t indicated that the
grand jurors did not intend to per-
nit witnesses to conceal any facts
1t considered relevant to the in
quiry now in progress and showed
that determination by returpsng an
Indictment charging perjury against
witness summoned before it.
r. c. Crosse, federal prohibition
investigator; Oscar Graney and
Thomas Babb were witnesses nam
ed in the DuPrez Indictment. The
true bill alleged that in June. 1922,
DuPrez kept place for sale Of
whisky" and that while a witness

thoughts with Alix. yet 1t was all for
her.

flowers and packed with people. Wom-

too rather to his dazed surprise. The
organ was straining through the
warm, fragrant air. and the old clergy
man, whose venerable, leonIne head,
in its crown Of snowy hair, Peter could
see clearly, spoke In voice that was
thickened with tears. Strangers. or
almost strangers. had been touching
Peters hand respectfully, timldly. had
been praising Alix. She had been
good to this one, "good" to that one,
they told him; she had always been so
interested" and so "happy"
Her coffin was buried In flowers,
many Of them ,the plain flowers she
loved, the gillies and stock and ver-
bena, and even the sweet, sober wall
flowers that were somehow like her.
self. But It was the roses that scented
the whole world for Alix today, and
fresh creamy buds had been placed
between the waxen fingers. And still
that radiant look Of triumphant love
fingered on her quiet face. and still
