Small's chief game warden, is chairman of the county board and has spent much of his time for the Officially Lake county was open-- ly working for the interests of Gov. €maill ever since the case came here from Sangamon county, it is claim-- room after the jury had made its report and had been excused, evi-- dence 'was found that the 8,000 or more exhibits of checks, drafts, can-- céled notes of the packers, certifi-- cates of deposit and bank books and deposits for the most part had not been taken from the boxes and packages in which they had been packages in which t earried into the room When the verdict came in after the jury had been out only 90 min-- utes the state began to connect up some of the rumors and incidents of the last few days. In the jury Although disappointed in the ver-- dict in the criminal case, attorneys for the state were not surprised. Developments of the last few days of the, trial had come to the notice of the prosecution and were suffi-- cient to give warning that an ac-- quittal might be expected. s The suit was filed last fall in Springfield by -- Attorney--General Brundage. Similar suits are direct-- ed against Fred E. Sterling, William Ryan and Andrew Russell, the lat-- ter now state auditor. There are two suits against Mr. Russel be-- eause his two terms come uhder the statute of limitations. Claude Q. Pike, political writer for the Chicago Laily News, has the following to say in a signed article @oncerning future steps against the governor and a general summary of things that transpirea in the recent trial in Waukegan : Aequittal of Gov. Small on churges of conspiracy to defraud the state by a Lake county jury on the second ballot will have no effect en the civil suit to recover the in-- terest money it is charged Gov. Small withheld during his second Push Civil Suit Against Small| going about the Ever since the rumors began to cireulate about two weeks ago that thére was going to be a quick ver-- Attorneys for the governor asked the state to agree not to make any closing argumrents, but the state re-- fused to agree. By some such a re-- quest might be considered signifi-- cant. . Throughout the trial the de-- fense sought to raise the point of constitutionality of the 1907 state treasury act. Other attorneys associated with him would not, discuss the verdict at length. It is known, though, that they have been giving consid-- erable' thought to some of the moves of the defense in the last few days. The state was not surprised that the defense did nat put Gov. Small on the witness stand. Attor-- neys for the state have asserted that the governor did not dare take the stand to submit to their ques-- tioning. _ Mortimer Is Silent State's Attorney Mortimer, who directed the prosecution, refused to make any statement after the ver-- dict was returned. In his refusal, he followed out the course he has tiken from the start, not to discuss the case in the press. Last Friday night a leading meme» ber of the board of -- supervisor® from Waukegan told one of the attorneys for the state that there wou!ld probably be a hung jury, &8 John'E. Larsen was the only juror who .was not in favor of acquittal, It developed after the verdict had been returned that Mr. Larson was the one who stood out against a¢« quittal on the first, ballot. Now the state is considering how the Wau-- kegan . supervisor knew how the jurors stood before they had been' given the case and who had polled them. wurty and haunting the corridors and . courtroom. _--JOHN HEIM REAL ESTATE, LOANS, RENTING AND INSURANCE .
