QUITS asks Haseltlon: "At the
same time were you not buying con-
traband yourself? viz: |. ". Harper
whiskey at a dollar and eight cents
per quart, the samo price charged to
county dispensers and thus tho town
and county losing their profits, and
not paying cash but having it charged
to your account? When you wonld
draw your pay for attendance horo
as chailma at tho end of the week,
you would have bill made ont for
it and rocoipted, paying for the same.
Not only this; did you not have full
cases Of champagne opened in tho
State dispensary, tako out what you
wanted and pay for ii, at prices
charged at county dispensary? This
you did whilo Victor Bluo was here,
and you and he drank it in the board
room."
