C.LUEHRS Claim Assistant Treasurer Not Authority on Office Matters. By the International News Service. Waukegan, May objection was made to the questioning of H. C. Luehrs, assistant state treasurer during the terms of Len Small and Fred E.

Sterling as state treasurer during the Small trial yesterday, contending that Luehrs was not to be considered an authority on these matters; that, ha served in a clerical capacity only and was not in position to state with author ty the status funds deposited in the alleged fictitious Grant Park Bank, or regarding interest payments thereon. Some Main Features. Other sailent features of the session of the trial yesterday, which marked the beginning of its fourth week, were as follows: Interest paid into the state treasury by banks which were members of the so-called "vault account," was deposIted, during the seeond term of Small as treasurer, in the Kankakee Trust Savings Bank, of Kankakee, of which Small is president. Approximately, "vault $12,000.000 account" was. con- a like amount in the "safe account" created by Len Small, The "sate account" continued in istence until September, 1921, nine months after Edward E.

Miller, pres: ent state treasurer, had assumed his duties. To the knowledge of Luehrs, no transactions were made with "safe funds with any bank or banks other than the Grant Park Bank. No "official" record was kept of interest money placed on deposit in tlie Kankakee bank, during Small's term as treasurer. No drafts, made payable to the Grant Park Bank, were delivered to Len Small, or to Edward C. Curtis, now deceased, in person.

All drafts, to the knowledge of the witness, were sent to the Grant Park Bank by mail. There is no record, to Luehry' knowledge, of interest paid the State on deposits by the Kankakee Trust Savings Bank. Changed to Rockford Bank. During the two years Fred Sterling served as treasurer, state interest pay: ments were transferred from the Small bank at Kankakee to the Rockford National Bank of Rockford. An attempt was made by the detense when court convened to force the state to elect upon which charge -for conspiracy to embezzle, or to cheat and defraud -the trial is to be carried on.

A row was precipitated when the state sought te have the dally balance book, or "ticker," as it is sometimes called, entered as evidence. 'Attorney LeForgee contended that the ticker was the personal property of the state treasurer; that every state treasurer in the past seventeen years had so considered the record, Governor Small, when state treasurer, kept such a record, and also kept records as specified by the law. The latter records, LeForgee asserted, are on file in the office of the treasurer at Springfield. The prosecution based its claims that the record be entered as evidence on section one of the state constitution relating to the duties of a treasurer, which specifies that "all books, records, and papers" pertaining to his office be surrendered by the treasurer and become public records. Court Admite "Ticker." Judge Edwards, after hearing argumetts on the admissability of entering the ticker" as evidence, ruled that the record should be allowed as competent evidence.

The purpose of the prosecution in having the record entered, the Judge said, was to prove the existence of tha alleged conspiracy. This purpose, he said, made the record competent as evidence. The fact that the particular "ticker" in question was not returned to Fred Sterling, when he retired from office treasurer, the judge ruled, set precedent which the custom of the past which indicated that the record was considered the personal prop erty of the retiring treasurer rather than a public record.

FORMER ROSE HILL MAN SLAIN Rose Hill, May received here by relatives of the finding of the dead body of Guy Nichols; who wag station agent and telegraph operator at Seeleyville, near that town on Friday night. Nichols had been missing four days when the body was found. The coroner was inclined to the theory of probable suicide, but detec: ayes investigating the case think this is unlikely and a theory of murder finds more favor with them.

His wounds, three in. number, indicate that they could not have been selfinflicted. His throat was cut from ear to ear, a long gash extended entirely across the abdomen, and one wrist was cut. That Nichols had been dressed after being killed is satisfactorily proven from the fact that the clothing showed no cute where the body was slashed and by the absence of blood knife, on the clothing. There is a theory that he' might have been murdered while divested of clothing and then dressed again by his slayer.

Mrs. Nichols stated that she last saw her husband early on Monday morning, when he left the house to get a pail of water. When he failed to return the neighbors were notified and searching parties were organized. The vicinity of Seeleyville had been thoroughly covered during the week without avail.
