This suit on which a writ will probably
be issued tomorrow grows out of the prohi-
bition amendment campaign last summer in
which Mr.. Crowell, one of the defendants in
the suit, mas lately figured conspicuously in
an alleged confidential communication to
the agents of the Prohibition organ, the
Voice.
SHORT OF CASH.
1t appears that in the organized effort to
defeat prohibition the Liquor Dealers
League and the State Brewers Association
were united. Just before election the funds
ran out and the joint committee of
the two liquor organizations which was
appointed to arrange for such a con-
tingency called on Moore & Sinnott and
stated that there was S3S, 900 lacking to prop
erly carry on the campaign. OF this S20,-
900 was owing to the newspapers for adj
vertising, S13, 900 to window bookmen en-
gagged to work at the polls, and S., 900 re-
tanned to Lewis C. Cassidy on account of
the $50, 900 promised him for his work in
the campaign.
Moore & Sinnott advanced the S38, 900 on
the understanding that the Brewers Asso-
citation was to pay back go per cent of the
loan, and the liquor 40 per cent in two
weeks. The liquor dealers paid back their
40 per cent according to contract, but the
Brewers Association, instigated, it is said,
by Harry P. Crowell, have refused to re-
turn to Moore & Sinnott one cent of their
share of the loan advanced to protect thei1
business
