M'ALLISTER SCORED IN.
PRISON PROBE CASE
Attorney General Blamed' For
Defect in Indictments by
Judge Slate.
Jefferson City, Mo., March 5. De
fending his refusal to reconvene the
special grand jury last November to
cure defects in indictments previously
returned in the State Penitentiary ce
ment cases, Judge John G. Slate of
the Cole County Circuit Court sharp
ly criticised Attorney General Frank
W. McAllister whU giving instruct
ions to a new vm v ounty grand jury.
Slate asserted if the "legal depart
ment cf the state could not proper
ly P'epare these indictments in nine
weeks, little if any improvement could
be hoped for in cne-half day's time
with a grand jury."
The indictments were prepared by
one of McAllister's assistants. When
it was d;covered they were defective,
the special grand jury had concluded
its work had gone 1aome, but had not
adjourned. McAllister requested Jud
tro Slate to reconvene the members of
the grand jury to cure the defects in
the indictments.
Attorney General McAllister said
tonight:
"This makes twice Judge Slate has
called attention to the ignorance of
the attorney general's office.
"In his speech to the jury he over
looks the law and recent opinion of
the Supreme Court holding that the
attorney general was not in charge of
the Cole County cases, but was only
ass:sting.
"We are trying to do what the pros
ecuting attorney had failed to do."

The suggestion of making the ser

At the same time it was decided to

by listening to the fraternal delegate
of the Antisaloon League of America,
"one of the foremost citizens of our

The chairman refrained from men
tioning Bryan's name as long as he
could, but when it came out at last
it was greeted by a chorus of catcalls
and cries, "We don't want him. The
chairman appealed to the audience. It
wasnot a good thing for the city, he
said, and "a bad thing for the cause
we represent."
Then Bryan came in and pondemon
ium broke loose. Most of the au
dience stood up, waved handkerchiefs
and cheered him, but the answering
hoots from the gallery ouutlasted the
cheers.
For five minutes Bryan tried . to
make himself heard, but it was of no
xise. The interrupters sang "Rule
Britannia." Interruption kept right
on, and the disturbers forced the au
dience to join in that and "God Save
the King."

Mrs. Bruno, formerly a resident of
the Cape, visited here about seven
weeks ago, when she attended the
funeral of her son, Theodore Brune,
who died in St. Louis. It is believed
that the death of her son hastened
her demise, as she has been in failing
'.health since.
Mrs. Brune and her family moved
to St. Louis about 23 years ago, but
during that time all have frequently
visited their friends and relatives in
this city. Mrs. Brune was raised in
this city, one of a pioneer family of
t,he Cane. Three of her children,
Henry Brune, a blacksmith, Mrs. Hane
brink, who resides on the Bend road,
and Mrs. Alford, who lives in Marble
City Heights, remained here, when
the family moved to St. Louis. All
children, excepting Henry, were at
her bedside, when she expired. Her
son 'Jiad been called to St. Louis, when
she became critically ill, but return
ed home, when she began to show
signs of improvement. He was advised
of her death Wednesday and imme
diately began to arrange for the-funeral.
