LAHEY ANSWERS WILSON,
Not Anxious to BE Again Alder
man-0nce Enough For Him

Alderman Richard Lahey was asked by
a reporter for The NEWS, this morning, If
he had anything further to say concern
ing the controversy between him and
Justice of the Peace Wilson, which. grew
out CT his accus alton of extortion on the
part OF the latter in the recent case of
several prisoners who had been arrested
for stealing doors and blinds from the old
Collard factory building.
II have just written a statement" said
the Alderman, you can use what you
want of it," and he handed the reporter
the following document:
"As Mr.. Wilson has called the public "a
attention to the fact that l attempted to
influence this just man. and has said
that l can go to a hot country, l
would say that I only asked him
to be a little lenient in
his charges. Here stood before him n
man and three poor women without coal
wanted S1.90 from each for being baileu
for appearance before the Grand Jury.
They never asked Mr.. Wilson for a hear
ing, n he should have charged
them forty cents for pail ponds
only. | did not tell the Judge not to col
lect the charges, but he knew he could
not collect aug money from those poor
people, and thought l was a country
man, and he could collect it from me,
He will be more experienced when he
collects.it. Now, Judge Wilson,, how
could you try to exact from Thomas
Grant $1.90 on Monday, when
he paid you on Saturday evening So 50
tor appearance in your court on Monuay?
You also asked So so from Mrs. kesgal,
whom you let go When she told you she
had no money. / have no fear of the
District Attorney. and as for looking for a
re nomination in the spring in your dis
trict. | would say that l am not, and
would not accept such. Ona term Is all [
asked for, ana / I'M thankful to my many
friends In the district for their favors,
and l believe l have conducted myself
to meet with their appreciation,
Ia the meanwhile, Mr.. Will
son, act with more charity and
make your CHARGES more lenient to poor
people. Mr. Grant was employed n
number of years by Mr.. Woodward, a
retired merchant OF the Hill, who says he
always found him Industrious aud
Trustworthy.
Respectfully,
RICHARD LAHEY."
The Alderman said he had no ueslre to
make open charges. He based his accusa-
ton iu The first place on the fact that in
his opinion no examination had taken
place beyond what was necessary before
the prisoners could be balled.

About thirty of our young have form ed

have secured the use Of the Biggs &Clayton

one as it affords a place of resort after
working hours where our youug men and

influences of the saloons and other
places Of vice. The moral tone of the
society is for good, one of the first
laws enacted being the prohibiting
the use Of any spirituous liquors
gambling or betting on or about the
premises, and also enforcing Sunday
closing. The organization will soon be
equipped for athletic exercises such as
are given IN the best gymnasiums. and
we hope they will give some exhibitions
