Edwards in the eircuit court,: made a desperate effort Monday afternoon to have the jury dismissed and the case thrown out of court. »The move followed action by the prosecution when it rested at noon. Following the recess, Ai-- m Fred Schroeder for the gov-- , presentecd an argument con-- taining nineteen points as to why the court should take the case from and that the evidence thus far sub-- mitted was no evidence at all that the governor and his associates had conspired to defraud the state. a Basis of Argument "There is nothing to show that an agrecemnt was made, and if the evidence as presented is to show that an agreement existed, © there is nothing to show that their scts Were unlawfu!," Schrceder said. ~"During the afterncon session of eopurt Schrocder continued his ar-- gument, setting forth why the ease should be Aismissed and the jury discharged. The roints were based 'on technicalities and "hzir line" ar-- guments. Schrosder claims that in the evidence that Mrs. Small bought stock in the Dlinais Central rail-- roga, that Mrs. Ida Small was not identified as the wife of the gov-- statutes, argued taht the state had identification of checks and drafts, the debentute slleged to have been purchased with state funds from Armour and company, weer not ac-- tually identified as having been pur-- Mbyuwdfit-nehut.d! w'th conspiracy, and that further-- | more, no word is said in the bill of | particulaers about these debentures, | and they should therefore be ig-- | It is believed that the arguments will b econtinued for several days, as both sidos are fortified with a abttery of materia!l to fight for fa-- .

In all of the bulky tabulations involving transactions totaling . $63;000,000, one mistake of a misplaced check changing the totals by $8,968, was all that could be found. On motion of Assistant Attorney General Wilkerson, the tabulation was corrected and admitted into the evidence over the objections of the defense attorneys. Attorney TeForgee emphasized in his questioning the fact that Mr. Currier is employed by the state for accountant's work in Attorney General Brundage's office, and that his salary is paid by the state of Tlinots. Mr. Currier testified that ho has been in the employ of the state fér the last eight years and that he expects to receive extra compensation for his tedions work in connection with the prosecution of the governor.
