CONROY FREE ON HABEAS ACTION The so-called "poison house" case in connection with the recent death of Joe Conroy, Huntington Park glassworker, who drank too much bootleg liquor, according to a coroner's lury, passed into history today, so far as criminal prosecution was concerned. A. P. Monahan, Huntington Beach oil worker charged with manslaughter in connection with the case, was freed today by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm on a writ of habeas corpus asked by Attorney T. L. McFadden, representing Monahan. Frank A. Gilroy, of Los Angeles, the other defendant, had been discharged earlier in the week. In his ruling, Judge Drumm made it clear that the writ was not decided upon a question of the law involved, but only upon a question of fact. The facts, as stated in the case, he said, made it impossible to sink Monahan with any sale of liquor to Conroy. The liquor, it was said, was sold to Targer Anderson, a companion of Conroy. Incidentally, the one bottle of liquor thus sold was not sufficient in quantity to cause the fatality; it was believed. Conroy was shown to have later ten three more bottles from monahan's stock. The question of quantity did not, however, enter into the matter before the court. The failure to show a sale of liquor by Monahan to Conroy governed the county's decision, it was said.

Compromises in the bonus legislation are being sought. A new plan suggested is that the former service men entitled to it shall have refunded to them in lieu of the bonus money they paid for insurance and their contribution to the support of dependent while they were in the service. Objections raised to this plan are that the cash outlay under will exceed the immediate cash payments under the McKenzie bonus bill, which is the bill President Harding vetoed and an estimate of the cost plan is being made.

Representative Fish, Publican of New York, stated there would be no evasion the bonus question by the waiver and means committee or by the White House.
