HUEY LONG’S FUTURE STAKE IN COURT QUIZ Determined District Judge Unmoved by Frenzy Over Martial Law. BY EARL B. STEELE United Pre Staff Correspondent NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 2 The future of Huey P. Long's political empire was at stake today as a determined district judgp. unmoved by a frenzied situation induced by declaration and revocation of martial law. began an open court investigation into last fall's election in which Long's henchmen are alleged to have resorted to fraud in order to win. Criminal Court Judge Alexander C. O'Donnell ordered fifteen election commissioners arrested on charges of certifying to false returns. brought into court when it convenes at 10:30 a m. He granted permission to District Attorney Eugene Stanley to pxamine ballot boxes, which Long's political enemies charge will reveal monumental fraud, in open court Governor O. K. Allen, a Long henchman, revoked the order by which he had declared Ncv Orleans under martial law. early today. The revocation was announced in a telegram Allen sent Judge I-rank T. j Eschezabel. O'Donnell's colleague on the criminal court bench, who returns today from vacation. May Seek Transfer There was some intimation that an effort would be made to transfer the investigation from Judge O’Donnell’s court to that of Judge Eschezabel. Not since Long, while Governor, narrowly missed impeachment by the legislature, has his arbitrary rule of Louisiana been so seriously threatened. New Orleans seemed aroused to fever pitch. New appointments to federal positions in Louisiana showed the Roosevelt administration awarding plums to as many or more of Long's enemies than his friends. The United States senate committee announced it planned to resume its investigation of Louisiana elections within two months. Calls on Roosevelt to Act The influential newspaper, the Times-Picayune. called upon President Roosevelt to take note of ’’political racketeering’’ in Louisiana and not to overlook it in his “war on gangsters." Long was closeted far into the night with his henchmen. He was gruff and peevish with newspapermen. "I don’t know a damned thing about it," he shouted. Allen's revocation of martial law. which had been put into effect only to the extent of providing eight soldiers to guard the Orleans parish grand jury, ostensibly was because of Judge Eschezabel s return and the fact the grand jury met peacefully Tuesday. Some observers bes heved it indicated Long had the situation "well in hand." Probes Are Frustrated Several efforts to investigate the election have been frustrated. Three grand juries returned "no true bills ’ against accused election commissioners. The situation was brought to a head when Judge O'Donnell refused to accept a negative report and ordered an open court investigation. The grand jury then rei quested Governor Allen to declare martial law and have soldiers destroy the content cf the disputed ballot boxes Governor Allen declared martial law but refused to cider the ballots destroyed. The election was to approve a group of constitutional amendments, one of which would allow the state to sell its bonds b-’low par The amendments in the country parishes were defeated, but in New Ort leans only a vew votes were cast, against them. In some precincts their margin of victory was overwhelming, and many precincts reported identical vote totals. Patronage Pleas Denied The tacit disapproval of Long expressed in appointments made by President Roosevelt was duly noted by both Long and anti-Long politicians. The Kingfish went to Washington last week to get control of Louisiana patronage and urge officials to hasten work on the orojectCd Mississippi river bridge. The national administration refused to speed the bridge work Tuesday, it annuonced the appointment of Walter J. Burke. Now Ibena. an anti-Long man, to the state public works advisory board making that body unfavorable to Long.
