Enormous Bond VIII Be
Demanded by the
State.

Charles w. Hadley,
Wheaton, ILL.,, attorney, will
arrive in Rock Island tomor-
row morning to assume COM
plete charge Of the prosecu-
ton of cases resulting from
the vice and crime probe Of
Attorney General Edward ].
Brundage.
The announcement is tax
en- to indicate that the grand
jury is rapidly nearing the
finish of its inquiry, and that
there will be little or no de-
lay in bringing defendants.to
trial in the circuit court.
Mr.. HAdley is the selection Of
Attorney General Brundage for
this task, and the presumption IL
that all matters developing from
the investigation conducted by
state agents will receive prece-
dence over other criminal -casss in
the circuit court next term.
The January term of the circuit
court will begin Monday, Jan. l.
MIR. Hadley's early arrival on the
scene is for the purpose Of giving
him an opportunity to familiarixe
himself with all cases and prepare
for vigorous prosecutions.
One of the first official acts Of
the special prosecutor likely will
be contest of a motion to allow
Thomas Cox, former chief Of police,
to gain his release from the Moline
Jail on charge Of being . party
to the murder OF Bill Gabel, by fur
nishing Of bonds. c. e. Dietx, rep
resenting Coz. has indicated that
he is preparing to go before the
court with q petition for bail. Mr..
Dietz is said to have consented, ut
the request Of Thomas Marshall, at
torney in charge Of the grand Jury,
to withhold his contemplated move
for bail until the arrival Of Mr..
Hadley.
May Not Resist
1t Is not improbable, however,
that the state authorities may de-
eide not to enter into a contest ON
the question OF bail rather than be
forced to disclose their case
against Cox. This is a matter OF
policy that will be decided when
the defense acts. It Is recognised
that Cox would be forced to furnish
an enormous bond should he be
successful in arguing the matter
before the court A murder charge
is a bailabie otfense in instances
where 1t can be shown to the salts
faction Of the court that the evil
dence or the presumtion Of guilt is
not great. "
Marshall to Leave.
The announcement OF q special
prosecutor comes as surprise, as
1t had been generally presumed
that Thomas Marshall, Indictment
expert, would continue in his spe-
cial state capacity as the prosecu-
tor OF the cases in which he 6as
been instrumental In obtaining IN
lfctments. However, it was indE
Gated today that Mr.. MARSHALL Will
not remain in Rock Island after the
adjournment Of the grand jury.
When the grand jury will finish is
still a matter OF conjecture, but the
announcement Of Mr.. Hadley's
coming makes it evident that the
inquiry is in its windup stage.
