Indicted Men

In Court Here
District Attorney Learns of
Grounds on Which Masse

Habeas Corpus Writ.
Jacob Masse and Charles Wohl
bersr. wanted by federal authorities
here on charges of using the mails to
defraud in connection with the pro
motion of the William Berg Potash
company, did not appear in Federal
court yesterday morning although
Judge Woodrough was anxious to
see them. ..
A. L.' Sutton, attornev represent
ing Masse and Wohlberg, told Judge
Woodrough that he had sent a tele
gram to the attorneys in Los An
geles, Cal., representing the men
there, to have them ' in Omaha to
appear in court yesterday.
I. sent them a telegram . several
days ago telling them to be sure and
send Masse, and Wohlberg here,
Attorney button said. All l ean
do now is to file my telegram with
. c Kmsler, United States district
ttorriey, to show my part in the af-
fair. ;
Will File Telegram.
Judge Woodrough permitted Mr.
Sutton to file his telegram with
other information in the case.
Masse and Wohlbers: - were in
court in Los Angeles some time ago,
seeking to put through a habeas cor
pus action. After hearing the evi
dence, the Los Angeles judge took
the matter under advisement. J. C
Kmsler said yesterday he had heard
nothing regarding the California de
cision.
: For the first time, District Attor
ney Kinsler learned vesterdav on
what ground Masse and Wohlberg
applied tor writs of habeas corpus.
rie was aoie to glean this informa
tion from-certified copies of the ap
plication for which he wired and
which arrived this morning.
Allegations Denied.
The two deny allegations of con
spiracy to use the United States
mails to defraud; state that some of
the parties mentioned to the suit are
dead; assert that the indictments re
turned against them fail to charge
them ' with anything specific and
further, that the government, at its
recent hearing in Los Angeles, at
tended by the Postal Inspector Cable,
from Omaha, failed to introduce re
buttal testimony to their showinc
that they had committed no overt
acts. -The
latter is an interesting com'
plication, since coble was present
witn a trunkiul of evidence and a&
companied by Kriess, former officer
in the. William Berg Potash com
pany, now chief witness for the gov
ernment As little of this testimony
as possible was divulged," in order
rot to acquaint Masse and Wohlberg
wiin ine exact evidence held against
them, prior to the trial.
Next Move Undecided Upon.
The application for a writ also
petitions the judge to require federal
officials here to certify what these
charges are. . ,
Pending the result of County At
torney Shotwell's efforts to bring
Masseand Wohlberg back on the
state charge, Kinsler has not an
nounced what he will do next
He stated' lecentlv that if the
judge held there were any flaws in
the indictments, new ones would be
drawn up. .

"Can't Lose" Game
Will Make Political Capital
Out of Demand for State
- House Probe.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.5. (Special.)
Democratic politicians are starting
a beautiful game of "heads I win,
tails you . lose" in connection with
the forthcoming Lancasetr county
grand, jury.
The democratic machine has sent
a paid investigator to ; Lincoln, to
go through the state house records
in an attemptto find material with
which to smirch the state administration.-
If it is found possible to twist
the facts to the discredit of the state
officers, the democrats plati to . de
mand a grand jury investigation of
these, officers. Then, if the jury, crit
icises their conduct, the democrats
can be gleeful. . ,
On the other hand, if the jury
fails to do so, the democrats can at
tack Attorney" General , Davis and
others connected with the jury for
not taking such action. Either way,
the democratic machine expects to
make political capital out of the
situation.
