Unable to Agree, Adjourns
Until T0morroW.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate judiciary committee fall

There Is every indication of a close

that the Norris report will be laid be-
fore the Senate for its consideration.
as a minority report If not as the ma
Jority one of the committee.
Action Is Unknown.
In view of the recent opinion oiven
by Attorney General Mitchell to Presi-
dent Hoover declaring that Mr.. Mellon
is holding his Office within the law.
there is some doubt regarding what ef-
feet, If any, Senate vote on the Mel
Ion status will have.
II Is agreed that the Senate can do
no more than express its opinion. II
NA~%RtpNAAhASAit Ao lCSUIbCu 10, Cl2I must

the Attorney Generals opinion there is
some doubt that the district attorney
would institute action against the Secre-
tary for violation of the 100-year-old
statute even If the Senate held it had
been violated.
The question of the right of Mellon
to serve has been talked about the Cap
ital during the eight years of his ad-
ministration, but it was brought to a
showdown when Senator McKellar.
Democrat, Of Tennessee, introduced a
resolution asking the judiciary COM
mittee to investigate his relation to the
old statute. Friends of Mellon in the
Senate voiced no objection to the in
gestigation and the resolution was
adopted.
Admits Owning Stock.
Mr.. Mellon, in a letter to Senator
Reed, Republican, of PENNSYLVANIA
which was laid before the committee,
said he owned stock in the Gulf Oil
Corporation, the Aluminium Co. of
America and other businesses, but not
a controlling interest in any. He said
he had sold all of his national bank
stock and had resigned any executive
connections with the business world.

CLAIMS JOHNSTON
LET MAN QUIT JAIL
Witness Testifies CIemency
Used to Help Candidates
Political Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, February
20.-TeStimony that Henry S. john
ston, suspended governor, granted Glenn
ency to man convicted of statutory
crime as favor to State Representative
d. A. Stovall of Choctaw County. who
supported his administration. was pre-
scented yesterday in Johnston's trial be-
fore the State Senate Court of Impeach-
ment.
1t was one of the few bits of evidence
connecting Johnston directly with acts
which resulted in the voting of i'm
parchment charges by the House of
Representatives. The bulk of evidence
has dealt with activities of the suspend
ed governors subordinates and advisers
and has been introduced to support the
States contention that Johnston is in
competent to continue as governor.
Wayne Wheeling, attorney, of Fort
Towson, testified that Johnston, during
visit at Hugo, signed an order grant,
ing leave of absence TO Clyde Collins,
woo was in jail awaiting commitment
TO the State penitentiary to serve a SEN
tence for hte statutory crime. Wheeling
said the governor commented he was
granting the leave as favor to Stovall
and called upon group of persons who
were present to support Stovall's candi-
dacy for the Legislature.
Wheeling said Collins Immediately
was released and returned to Fort Tow
son with Wheeling, who had drawn up
the order.
Jack Sanders, an employee of the State
Fish and Game Department, testified
he had told Johnston that clemency to
Collins would help Stovall, a former
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, in his campaign.

BODY ENORMOUSLY
NAMED AS GROVES
Fingerprints Do Not Correspond
With Those of Kidnaper
of Cudahy, Jr.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BUFFALO, N. Y, February 20.-Buf-
falo police admitted last night that the
body of the man who shot himself Mon
day had been enormously identified as
that of Pat Grove, who daringly kid
naped Edward A. Cudahy. jr., in Omaha
a quarter of century ago.
New York dispatches stating Pat
Grove had turned up there and made
indignant denial after reading what
purported to be an account of his
death in Buffalo failed to shake the
faith of local police officials in their
own deductions, until report came
last night from the Erie County Peni-
Tertiary stating that the fingerprints
taken of the dead man did not cor
respond with those taken OF Pat Grove
when the latter was confined in that
institution few years ago.
The suicide, however. bore a striking
likeness to the former bandit.
