Only Two More Boodle Witnesses.

Peoria, 111., Oct. 24—The Peoria county grand jury did not do much in the legislative boodling investigation yesterday, only two witnesses being examined. Col. John Warner, ex-mayor of Peoria, is the only remaining witness, and his testimony will be given today. He will be questioned on the efforts of the senate 1 slop-feed committee to secure a bribe from the Peoria distilleries. R. C. Grier, secretary of the board of trade, would have been a witness today, but was called East and will not return for several weeks. No indictments have yet been returned, and probably will not be until the close of the week.
