been previously indicted.
Their uctlon in uwaltlng Judgo
Rlulr at the train not only saved them
additional court costs, and saved time
for thp court, but showed tho effect
tho lining of llvo men who hud licen
indicted but failed to como to court
promptly has had upon other voto
sellers. The llvo In question wcro lined
$200 nnd costs each, and sentenced to
eight months In tho Cincinnati work

Tho men who waited at tho train

Whllo It was expected from 'the1

Judgo'HInlr Is willing to extend fur

With tho arrest yesterday of six
