Trying to Corrupt witnesses.

Deputy United States Marshal Smith went
to Buckfield last Wednesday and the follow
ing day brought to this city John Russell and
Alfred Russell, charged with violating the
internal revenue laws, by selling liquor with
out payment of special tax. Several wit
nesses were summoned but at the hearing be-
fore Commissioner Rand they appeared to
know very little about the case. The case
was continued until Saturday to give the gov
eminent time to procure more evidence, one
OF the witnesses being meanwhile committed
to Jail. At the hearing Saturday the wit
nesses retracted their testimony given Thurs
day and stated that they were induced by Of
fers from the defendants to testify as they did.
Probable cause in the liquor case was found
against the two Russells. Then they were
Immediately arrested on complaint for sub
ornation of perjury and bound over in the
sum of 81, 900 each. Fred. ID. Russell, a wit
ness, was also bound over in the sum of $500

The croe Shops.

To the Editor of the Press.
Your issue of the 31st contains the follow
ing paragraph:
The Brdgton News calls for more liquor law.
What additions 1t wants to the present measure II
does not specify, except that it wants some that
shall suppress liquor selling. such certainly are
devoutly TO be wished for but 1t is to be feared
that they cannot be had. All the laws which civ
Zaton has been abe TO devise have not suppress
ed murder or larceny or perjury or arson and it is
not at all likely that Maine Legislature, no mat
ter how good Its intentions, Will be able TO devise
a measure that Will suppress liquor selling.
In commenting upon this / do not propose
to inflict upon you long article. 1t is no
disparagement to the PRESS to say that /
known great deal more about this matter
than it does, for the reason that have made
it special study for many years.
repeat for the thousandth time that liquor
is sold in Maine in violation of law for the
profit of it, and not for the fun of it. l sup
pose everybody will concede that. Very well.
If we really desire to stop the trade, the way
to do it is very simple: that is, to deprive 1t
of all profit and at the same time make 1t ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable to those who per-
sist in it. That is very easily done. For
| many years we have tried to obtain this from
each successive legislature and have failed to
do it, Many amendments to the law have
been made. but not such as we asked Tor,
and the trade has been left by them in the
same old condition-crippled but not killed.
If the Legislature will give us such amend
ments to the law as we desire, and the grog
shops keep on in the old way, we will confess
that we do not know so much about the mat
ter as we supposed we did.
Liquor selling in violation of law Is a mat
ter of cool calculation of the parties, as to
loss and gain. AT present the risks OF loss
are largely overbalanced by the chances OF
gain. 1t will be be very easy to make the
liquor traffic all loss aud no gain Does the
PRESS object that the attempt be made?
Does any intelligent man object that the men
and women who have been at work upon this
problem for many years should at last be per-
mitted to have their way for a little while, as
mere matter of experiment, il for no other
reason? If we fail 1t will be in time to say
