COURT'S RULINGS CUT HEART
OUT OF CASE AGAINST CRAGO
NO ASSURANCE THAT CLAUDE
ROGERS COULD BE FORCED
-TO GIVE EVIDENCE
STATE'S COUNCIL SUBMIT AFFI
DAVIT SHOWING WHAT ROG
ERS CLAIMED TO KNOW
With their case rut clear out
by two remarkable rulings made
by Judge Alan H. Robinson in
()hb> county criminal court, attor
neys tor the state yesterday. In
the case of the State of West
Virginia against city Manager
Homer ('. Craco, threw tip their
hands and asked to have the first
of the election fraud cases aga'n-t
the city manager n<>!lied.
Last week, in the case of for
m*T City Solicitor J J. IV O'Rrien.
rhe court amazed attorneys for
the state by ruling that the bal
lots could not be used as evidence
of criminality. This ruling was I
made in spite of the fact that the
court permitted the state to in
troduce In evidence the ballots
from Precinct No. :< in the Seeond
ward in the trials of both Fire
Chief A. Burlev Thompson and
Fireman ftessemer Nail as well
as before the grand jury which
returned a score or more of in
In cast's of alleged elec
tion irregdlarities.
Attorneys for the state fought
the ruling and showed Its utter
absurdity, pointing to the fact
t hut the ballots, by reason of
their peculiar markings, consti
tute the best evidence that fraud
had been committed
Yesterday, after ihe case of
City Manager Crago had been
called, the court, when appealed
to by attorneys for the state, re
fused to give the state's counsel
aYiy assurance that Claude Rogers,
a very essential witness in the
state's case, would be compelled
to testify, or that the court would
hold a jury and continue the case
until Rogers did testify.
Rogers Defiant
lion. John .1 t'oniff, in the
capacity of special counsel for the
state, put the (|iiestion directly to
Judge Roh'nson i' the court would
empanel a jury and hold if until
Claude Rogers jwould be com
pel led to come into court and
testify The court declined to
give Mo* state's attorneys an
aflimt'tive answer to this query.
With 'he ballots excluded from
evidence, showing, as attorneys
for the state claim, on iheir face
the evidence of fraud .and de
prived of the testimony of their
principal witness who is sup
posed to have intimate knowledge
of the fraud alleged to have been
committed, and with no power to
compel him to testify. Prosecuting
f Attorney Carl (J. n.aehmann and
Hon. John J. Conff refused to go
farther with the case of City
Manager Crago and asked 'o have
the indictment en wh'ch he
was arraigned yesterday nollled,
placing 'lie responsibility entirely
upon the court.
