A. M. Miller, county attorney, and State Agent E.

Three prominent Iowa, specialists were here to conduct the sanity test.

The witnesses before the inquisitorial body included some men who had made speeches at a mass meeting I Granite City called to "inquire in- jto conditions of lawlessness." William Kaiser, at the mass meeting, said he knew gangsters' hangouts.

William Champion made the assertion he had been told that "for $50,000" he could be "the boss of Madison County." the offer, presumably, coming from supporters of a candidate for sheriff. Lapse of Memory Since the grand jury, In its report, said not a word about the Pershall case, it was presumed at Edwardsville that the Jury had heard verified none of the statements made at the Granite City meeting.

The dresses were missed after their departure.

They had driven to Oidenberg in a taxlcab, he learned, and he came to Alton in an effort to find the cab driver. Officers found the taxlman and ho told Captain Uhle, it is said, that he had driven the two women, who were strangers to him, to East St. Louis, and knew nothing of what they might have done during the stop at Oidenberg.

Brown of Pocahontas. Each of the enumerators will cover a specific district in making the census count.
