‘Mystery Man"
Not so Rough
at Drug Trial
Narcotic Sleuth “Big” Bui
Not “Hard,” Government
Attempts to Show at Sam
House Hearing.
The Government produced John
I! vise, the "rough mystery man" for
whom attorneys for the defense ol
Sim House clamored, and placed him
on the witness stand in federal court
Saturday morning
Hesse, a narcotic agent, is a former
St. Louis police officer. He denied
being tlie rough person attorneys for
tlie defense are endeavoring to prove
him, however, although he admitted
that he may have used a little pro
fanity when referring to dope ped
dlers as a class.
Hesse Is 37 years old. 6 feet tail
and weighs 210 pounds, he testified.
Hut he emphatically denied using any
of his strength in dealing with any
of the defendants in the narcotic trial
now in progress.
Government Red*.
"Didn't you tell one of the defend
ants that he thought he was pretty
tough, but that you were tougher and
would show him?" questioned an
attorney for the defense.
"I did nothing of the sort,” retorted
tlie bulky narcotic officer.
Hesse told of arrfvlng in Omaha on
the evening of July 29, and of h.s ac
tivities which led up to tlie arrest of
gam House in a downtown hotel.
At tlie close of a lengthy cross-ex
amination Hesse was dismissed and
the government rested.
Motion Overruled.
Attorneys for the defense promptly
moved that Judge Woodruugh direct
a verdict for the defense. This mo
tion was overruled.
They then asked for a week's con
tinuance, and Judge Woodrough con
tinued the case till Monday. v
The defense subpoenaed several po
lice officers, deputy sheriffs and prison
ers in the county jail, who were on
l and in the court room to testify in
case a continuance was not granted.
Police Officers Ben Danbaum, George
Brigham and Andrew Trapp; County
Jailer Joseph Sherry and Deputy
Sheriff Ernest Koenig and Ole Mor
tensen, Charles Erway, Charles Hess,
Isaac Driggers and Burt Buckler,
county jail prisoners, were those sub
ponaed.
Telegrams Read.
In cross-examining Hesse defense
counsel indicated that it will attempt
through deputy sheriffs and county
jail prisoners to prove that O'Neil,
who with House and Rurkery, is a
defendant, was beaten about the face
when he was taken to the jail follow
ing his arrest by the interview with
federal officers.
Telegraphic messages caJoulated to
show com piracy to violate the nar
cotic act were introduced in the trial
by government attorney yesterday
afternoon. These mesages have /com
monplace l^-xts. but deciphered by
narcotic agents-have a sinister mean
ing.
Authorship Denied.
‘‘Cap use IS mirrors.” meant the
ordering of illicit drugs for illicit
sale, according to their interpreta
tion; “Bring me some mills. At
least 30.” read another message.
The letter "m” at the beginning of
a word is said to indicate a desire
for morphine, while the letter
in a similar position is taken by the
officers to Indicate cocaine.
House denied authorship of some
nf the me- ages and denied havin
received th others.

1924 Vote From
10 States Given
Coolidge Plurality Exceeds
Davis Total \ ote in Fourth
of Commonwealths.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 6.—The vote for
ihe three leiwUng presidential candi
lates In the last election In 10 of the
largest states totaled 10,530,042, ac
cording to figures received here from
secretaries of state after the official
’anvass. The official figures for all
states have not yet been received.
President Coolidge received 9,991,958
rotes in those 10 states, John VV.
Davis 4,372.625 and Senator l,a Fol
lette 2,165,459. The states are New
fork, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Indiana,
New Jersey, Missouri and Iowa.
In each of them President Coolldge
received more than 500,000 votes. In
the 1920 election those states east
14,437,104 votes, of which President
Harding received 9,805,778 and James
M. Cox 1,531,326.
Sixty Per Cent for Coolldge.
Analysis of the statistics indicate
Senator La Follette drew slightly
more from the republicans than from
the derriocrats. Coolldge received
60.4 per cent of the total vote In the
10 states, Davis 26.4 per cent and La
Follette 13.3 per cent. In the 1920
election Harding received 68 per cent
of the total vote In the same states
and Cox 32 per cent. La Follette, It
would appear, drew 7.6 per cent from
the republicans and 6.6 per cent from
the democrats.
Coolldge had a plurality of 5,619.333
over Davis in tlie 10 states and a
plurality of 7, 826.499 over La Follette.
The president also had a majority o£
3,453,874 over the combined Davis and
T,a Follette vote In the 10 states.
Pennsylvania gave l oollge a plurality
of 992,2SD, the largest plurality ever
given any presidential candidate by
that state. Illinois gave Coolldge the
second largest plurality with 876,346,
and New York the third largest with
869,262.
South Was I.uUewarin.
From official returns now In It
is shown that Coolidge’s plurality
exceeded the vote for Davis in more
than a quarter of the stntes. I>a Fol
lette polled a larger vote than Davis
in at least five states. Including Wis
consin, where his plurality over Cool
idge reached 1 42,064.
Interest in the national election ap
parently was not very keen In the
south. Practically every state tn that
section, excepting Georgia, showed a
smaller total vote than that In the
presidential election of 1920.
No, we don't think the republicans
put anything over on ns; they meretj
put something under us and exploded
it.—Columbia Record._
