that Charles A. Gutke, a former metn-
ber of the bouse of delegates and con-
victed on the charge of bribery and
soon to be tried on a similar charge,

cult Attorney Folk. In which he de-
clared that the former delegate.
Charles F Kelly, had told him he had
re.-cived $50,000 for going to Europe
when his presence in St. Louis Jeop-
ardized men of prominence. Kelly is
also resting under one conviction and
is soon to be tried in another cass.
Circuit Attorney Folk says the reve-
lations which have been made by

Investigation and brings things to
light which have not been heard of
before, involving the men higher up.

publication written extracts from his
confession, of which the following Is
a part:
"The best reparation that I can
mako after the wrongs I have done is
to confess fully to everything. In or
der that the public may realize what
has been going on. Yielding to the
pleadings of my wtfe. 1 have deter-
mined to do all I can to atone trr
