ne udDeaS corpus docket SHOWS
that two petitions--H. c.. 1881 and
II. G. 1S46-were filed for. Grove,
and that the attorney in both cases
was John A. Savage.
So that charge doesn't account
Tor the hatred that seems to exist
for Curtis in some official circles.
On the contrary it looks more as
though the hatred accounts for the
charge.
It is a normal human trait to &C.
cept more readily discreditable
statements against persons we dis
like than to accept them against
persons we hold In regard. We
can't help giving undue weight to
things that please US. S. A. Brill
q psychiatrist of high standing
bundles the idea into 1--WE are more
apt to mislay letters containing
bills than checks"
Clerical Error at Fault
Through a clerical error Of the
asylum office, Curtis was reported
as the attorney for Grove. 1t was
very natural error of transcript.
ton. But if the error had been
against some one held in high es-
TENN by the hospital authorities,
would such a report have been made
without more careful checking?
The story that Curtis acted as
attorney for Grove is found in a
statement issued by st. Elizabeths
on October %. last. Ia this state.
rnent the number of habeas corpus
cases appears as 6S-aIld the MIC.
Carl report, as quoted by the daily
press, gives the same number.
But on November IS, or within two
or three days of that date, three
more cases were settled. These
three cases the McCarl report
ignores although that report was
not completed until month after
these three cases had been recorded.
At the time the McCarl report
was published. and for a month
previous to that time, the correct
number of st. Elizaboths habeas
corpus cases vas IL. Yet the Nc
Carl report gives 68--the number
given out by the hospital-and
certifies to Congress the correct.
ness of the Grove story.
Both Qualifications Wrong
DOth Va IIlSSS COIlll1CdIIOQS are
wrong, and both of them appeared
in the hospital statement while
the McCarl report was in process
Of completion.
The hospital statement shows
Savage as the attorney for Grove
N his second trial, and names
Curtis as attorney in the first,
The McCarl report, as quoted by
the press, certifies to the same
gtory.
The chance that this combina.
lion of errors could arise in born
The hospital report and he Nc.

We didn't doubt that the press

Wheat, Corn OFF FRACTION
Oats Steady to Lower.
by Thomson & McKinnon)
BIZ United Press

BIZ UHitcd Press
CHICAGO, March 3f.-With for
eign cables about as expected and
with no change in the favorable
weather conditions over the winter
wheat belt, neither side is expecting
much encouragement, and it is eX-
pected that the trade in wheat today
will be much in the order of evening
up outstanding accounts, awaiting
estimates by local crop experts on
the condition of the winter wheat
crop to be issued tomorrow. Open
ing prices We're &c to 1sc lower.
Corn opened Il to % lower than
yesterdays close. 1t is estimated
that about 80 per cent of the specula-
tive trade in corn futures is between
local professionals, while only 10 per
cent comes through commission
houses and represents outside inter-
est. The locals are divided, but most
of them are looking for liquidation
in May and short that delivery vari-
Gus amounts.
Oats opened unchanged to Il
lower than the previous close. There
is no development in this grain, some
selling taking place owing to decline
of prices of other grains.
Provisions opened steady.
