JUDGE DECIDES LEN SMALL BE TRIED ALONE Ruling Comes After Hot Arguments by Attorneys on Both Sides. CHARGE BAD FAITH jffAUKEGAN, 111., Jan. 31.—Judge C. Edwards today granted Governor Leu Small a separate trial. Governor Small and Verne Curtis, Grant Park banker, will be tried separately on charges of conspiracy to embezzle State funds. The judge stated he made his ruling to assure A'erne Curtis a fair trial. Curtis, the judge pointed out, would be hampered by unfavorable publicity given the Governor if the two were tried together. The judge overruled Small’s motion for a separate trial, but since Curtis' motion was granted the effect of severance desired by the defense was obtained. Governor Small, as soon as the severance decision was granted, pleaded “not guilty” to charges of conspiracy to embezzle State funds. PLEA MADE BY COUNSEL. Although the Governor was in court, the plea was made by Leforgee, Small’s chief counsel. The defense hotly denied it had broken faith by asking for a" separate trial for the Governor. This imputation Leforgee stated was made in the closing argument of Fred C. Mortimer, State's attorney of Sangamon County, against the defense's motion for separate trials. Leforgee launched into the defense's rebuttal arguments before Judge Claire Edwards, Lake County Circuit Court. This was the final attempt of the defense to convince the court that Governor Small and Verne Curtis, Grank Park banker and codefendant should not be tried together. *“The State said its case would be ln•d if the Governor is tried separately,’* said Leforgee. “If they can't prove a conspiracy against the Governor alone, they can’t prove a conspiracy against both." Thomas Marshall, one of the prosecutors, interrupted at this point and said, “That's an unfair statement.” “Unfair?" shouted Leforgee, "and that come from Marshall, too." CITE CASE OF STERLING. “They say a severance would hurt their case,” shouted Leforgee. “AA'hy then was Lieutenant Governor Sterling allowed a separate trial In Sangamon County? lie is supposed to be the chief conspirator, liid this dismemberment hurt them any?" The judge's ruling came when Leforgee, who addressed the court all morning, asked for a recess. The judge said it w r as not necessary, as ho had reached his decision. The judge then spoke as follows: “One thing 1 re had in mind since this hearing is whether the State would lose any advantage It should have if severance were granted. All circumstances and evidence in a Joint trial may be introduced in separate trials. “I fail to see any disadvantage for the State if the defendants are tried separately. I agree that this is an exceptional trial. I agree with Mr. AA'llkerson that this trial will be conducted without reference to factional politics. RIGHT TO COMMENT ON' CASE. • “Newspapers have a right to comment case. Their business Is to print HP truth. I am not inclined to grant 'this motion because Len Small is Gov|ernor of Illinois. That is one of the prices men pay for holding public office. He is also head of one of the political factions in Illinois. It will be very difficult in the trial of this case to keep those matters not pertaining to the case out of the courtroom.

“We know there are opinion* In this county both favorable and unfavorable to the Governor. The position of this man Curtis Is the thing I’ve had In mind (luring this hearing. He is a private citizen. This court must see that he gets a fair and impartial trial. He had nothing to do with the political questions brought out in newspaper clippings. Therefore I grant Curtis’ motion and overrule the Governor’s.” CHARGED WITH MURDER OF TWO Grand Jury Files Second Indictment Against Mrs. Clara Carl.

A tale of a fruitless search for work and when driven by hunger, the taking of a small quantity of linen with the intention of purchasing food, today in city court won the release of Mrs. Anna Jackson, 929 High street, who was charged with petit larceny. She was arrested yesterday by operatives of the Quigley-Hyland detective agency after she had taken table linens valued at sl9 from a downtown store. Mrs. Johnson told the detectives she and her husband were out of work and had tried in vain to obtain employment. In desperation she went downtown last night and took the linens, she said. In city court her husband said: “I waited and waited for Anna to come home last night. She didn’t come and I found out at last she had been arrested.” The fine of $1 and costs and the tenday sentence which Judge J. It. Backett had assessed were suspended on the promise of the husband to watch Uls wife more closely In the future.

The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers Is oue that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair nay be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist’s, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the h ir instead of just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in Us action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quietly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seeta very heavy.—Advertisement.

Government took the land from tho Indians, this spring was known far and wide for the coldness and pnrlty of its product. An Indian ntrap was located on a hill near it, according to a legend in the I'arrv family. Frequent discovery of flint arrow and spear heads in the vicinity seem to bear out tho theory.
