FIND MANS BODY
FLOATING IN CANAL
Poison Liquor Blamed by
Coroner for Death of
Unidentified Victim.

After an autopsy, poison liquor
was blamed by Deputy Coroner O
H. Bakemeier today for the death
of an unidentified man whose body
was found floating in the canal
early this morning.

to the theory of murder, were in
ficted while the body was in the

bank at 10 Thursday night. Work
men at the Capital Ice Company's

found on his clothing to serve for

GRAND JURY'S
VOTE CHARGE
QUIZ DELAYED
Await Naming of Special
Prosecutor to Take
Place of Stark.
TWO MEN CONSIDERED
Foreman May Be Ineligible
Because of Service as
Primary Official.

The grand jury probe into alleged
primary election frauds marked
time today, as Criminal Judge
James A. Collins and Prosecutor
Judson L. Stark pondered the ap-
pointment OF a special prosecutor
to direct the investigation.
Stark and Collins conferred at
length today, supposedly over names
of several candidates for the place
and indicated following the session
that nothing definite will be done
until Saturday.
Enmity that existed between Col
Inns and the prosecutor over con-
troll of the grand jury apparently
has given way to friendship with
the statement by Stark that he
welcomed assistance in conducting
the probe if the people think ]
need it."
Stark's removal as grand jury

grand jury this week under formal
explanation of jurors that he

Threaten Fistic Clash
The request was presented tc
Collins by Charles G. Fitch, granc
jury foreman. It was a threat Of
fistic combat between Fitch and
Stark that made necessary the
presence of deputy sheriffS inside
and outside the jury chambers, il
is known.
Reports current today that
Claude M. Worley, former police
chief, was named by Collins to con-
duct a quiet probe into fraud
charges we're denied by Worley. The
latter has been seen in conference
with Collins several times recently
Names of candidates brought
forward as contenders for jury pros
ecutor include Arthur l.. Gillion
and Fred G. Cause. Homer Elliott
and Harvey Grabill, attorney, men,
toned as possible appointees, are out
of the running, according to re-
ports.
Regardless of who is selected, no
pay for the place will be provided
out of county Golfers, county COM
miSsioners say.
Registration Demanded
While awaiting the appointment,
grand jurors are confronted with the
dilemma as to whether Fitch, their
foreman, can remain seated to
Judge the correctness of the vote
returned from a precinct where he
was an inspector.
Reports came from the jury cham
bers that one juror has demanded
that Fitch resign, while three other
jury members wonder if their in
vestigation will not come to naught
if Fitch is permitted to remain jury
foreman under a cloud of illegality.
Illness is the only pretext under
which Fitch can resign without pro-
voking discharge of the other jurors
it is said.
Seek Fraud Evidence
-Four jurors are said to claim
firmly that Fitch legally can not in
vestigate alleged illegal acts in the
precinct where he served as in
spector, in face of petition filed
recently in criminal court charging
that fraud was committed in every
precinct in the county.
This action was instigated by Mrs.
Claudia B. Ripley, ~ East Thirty
sixth street, who was overruled in
an attempt to have all election rec
ords impounded for scrutiny by the
courts.
Grand jury meanwhile petitioned
for impounding of election records
and is said to be prepared to start

concrete evidence of fraud.
