I-(By the Associated Press.)
Governor Len Small will
offer no evidence in his be-
half in his trial for cOnspir-
acy, c., C. LeForgee an
nounced in court today, but
will rest on the evidence of
the prosecution.
The announcement came
as a complete surprise. 1t
had been expected that the
defense would require two
or three weeks.
Mr.. LeForgee told Judge
Claire c. Edwards he would
offer one or two documents
and one motion this after
noon before resting.
/ The state concluded its
case at 11:35 o'clock and
after a conference c. Fred
| Mortimer, states attorney Of
Sangamon county, an

Court adjourned until l
o'clock, when Mr.. LeForgee's
motions will be heard.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Le-
! Forgee moved that a large part OF
the states evidence be stricken
from the record. The state asked
for recess to study the motion be-
fore starting arguments on it.
Attacks State Evidence.
One count of the motion af the
defense moves that all the states
evidence be stricken out; another
challenges $50 of the s 1000 or more
state exhibits; while others attack
every important part of the prose-
cutiOn testimony.
There are 19 paragraphs in the
motion, each covering one feature
of the case, and indications are
that the argument may last cOnsid-
cradle time.
While the state retired to study
the motion, clerks from the Offices
of the governors attorneys arrived
in court with more than 80 volumes
of law reports to be used in citing
opinions in support of the motion.
Werner W. Schroeder of Kanka-
kee opened the argument with a
brief summary of the defense mo-
ton. He stated the argument would
consume the entire afternoon and
might run over into tomorrow.

the best route for the paved highway through town
Route No. /, passes through town Second South
street alongside of and north of the Arizona Eastern Rail
road tracks, turning at Fourth West street and then going
north, past the court house, to the Thatcher road
1t would seem from Mr. Du Bois' argument that Route
No should be chosen chiefly because if the paved road
through town any other street would have
"one.sreet town. We cannot agree with Mr.. Du Bois.
We do believe the best route for the paved highway
through town be Route No B. which enters town the
east turning north at the old MILL thence north two blocks
to Main street, thence west Main street to the court
house; thence north to Thatcher road.
Route No. would traverse the town from east to west
and would be the main business street of the town.
where belongs The Main street of this town. well
every other town. the principal street of the town and
most popular highway through any town. 1t would be
foolish to place this paved highway street just be-
cause of several factories being located there.

Open Forum
WHICH ROUTE THROUGH
Stafford

|
That is the question being discussed
this week and that is the question
taxpayers OF Stafford will be called
upon to decide on Saturday. In OBJ
tanning federal aid, the government
makes the condition that it be the
shortest route with the leas number
OF turns.
That being the case, the answer is
easy, The route with the least num-
ber of turns is called number one.
1t begins at the old Gila Valley mill
and continues straight west for seven
blocks, turning north at the Halstead
Lumber Company and passes in front
of the court house until the Thatcher
road is reached then turning west
again. By this route there would be
but two turns--the least number of
any route through Stafford. II your
government wants straight road
with the fewest possible turns for
military purposes, then this route is
the most feasible and practicable one.
But, what will the selection of this
route mean to Stafford? viii the
Tourist pass on through withU;m stop?
Most decidedly not Any one who has
ever been on an automobile trip
knows that long before you get to a
town you have made up your mind
whether or not you are going to stop.
You have planned your days run to
stop at this town for lunch and to
stop at that town for the night. II your
tourist is in hurry and does not ir.
tend to stop, what better Indication oi
the wealth of this community than to
have him see flour mill with it's
warehouses, oil tanks, ice and cram
cry, lumber yards and a wholesale
grocery, Along that route ne could
catch glimpse of the high schooI
and the Odd Fellows home. What If
ii is along. tho railroad? He followed
the railroad before getting into towr
and will follow it again after leaving
own. A few extra blocks in town
will make no difference Every town
has Main street. Our Main street is
not very different from the main
streets of a thousand other towns.
Then let us show the tourist the best
we have, Our industries, such as
those along the railroad. are the index
Of the wealth of the town. The num-
ber OF Special sales" along Main
street is poor index of the wealth of
any town.
That is not the most important fact. 4
