GROSS CASEJS DISMISSED
Jndpe Redick Eoldi Evidence Not Suf
ficient for Conviction.
MAY DISMISS THE OTHER CASE
C. A. Caa ta ! Peraltted Testily
f Cortl H Had with
Kassrrlla Cer
taj Bribery.
Arthur W. Oros. chief claim srent tor
th "trt railway company, charged with
Cntmpt of court in bribing a Juror. John
KemmarlloK. to arcura a Terdlct favoraMe
to th company. as found not (ullty by
Jud William A. Redlck In the law divi
sion of th district court Friday afternoon.
Judfa Radtca'a decision waa in the form
f a ruling sustaining a motion of the
dtfsns to direct on tha ground of insuf
ficiency of cvldenc. Ha held that the
(acta introduced in evidence furnish a pre
sumption of guilt, but do not establish it
beyond a reasonable doubt.
In th course of hie opinion the Judge
aid: "I confess to considerable Judicial
eagerness to convict, not because of any
personal feeling against the defendant, al
though I bare known him a number of years.
I do not say at this time what my per
sonal conviction Is."
Prosecution of Arthur W. Gross, was
struck a hard blow by the defense Friday
morning when William F. Qurley and J.
W. Wood rough, attorneys for Gross, ob
jected to the Introduction by the state of
testimony of Chariea A. doss and Judge
Redlck sustained the objection. Upon
Ooaa' testimony more than upon anything
la Deputy County Attorney Magney, who
la prosecuting the crae, has relied for a
conviction.
Mr. Magney rested th state's ease Im-
edlateiy ater Judge Redlck ruled on the
bjectlon. Mr. Qurley of counsel for the
defense made motion that on the ground
of Insufficiency of evidence the court find
th defendant Gross not guilty.
Th final ruling of Judge Redlck means
the probable dismissal by th state of the
bribery charge against Oroes in county
oourt. If a conviction for contempt can
not be secured It appear almost certain
that at bribery proiecutlon would not be
successful.
Associated Charities
.Gets "Tip" for Work
Investigation Shows Motive Behind
Advice Volunteered by "Sympa
thetic Man.
With n air of great benevolence that
shene with difficulty through the accumu
lated stubble and grime upon his face, a
man cam Into the office of the Asso
dated Charities and asked to ace the sec
retary. "I've been a frequeot contributor to yer
little enterprise here." he explained, "and
now I want yuh to follow my advice.
There's a woman out here ho is very
poor. I've plven her all the money I can
afford to spare Just now and you might
help her along, y'know."
The secretary took the address, although
she was certain she had never seen the
man before, and promised to investigate.
Fhe found a poor home and a woman,
who for shiftless appearance was almost a
match for her benefactor who had recom
mended her case to the charities.
While the secretary rat theru a man's
voice cam from behind the stove, "Ain't
you about done with them panuT de
manded the voice.
The voice had a familiar sound to the
secretary, and when the face of the man
appeared cautiously above th stove top
she recoimized the benevolent man whose
request had brought her there.
"How about this?" she demanded of th
woman, who waa industriously patching a
pair of trousers. "Isn't this one of your
neighbors who has been giving you money
to help you."
"Aw, him and me's married.' was the
reply.
