a Hearing Last Night.

seldom Brady, Frank Farrell Robert
Bewick and M. Moloy were arraigned
before Burgess Powell last evening
charged with disorderly conduct and
being ringleaders of a gang that has
terrorized pedestrians travelling along
East Drinker street. The details of
their actions were published in this
column yesterday.
The hearing commenced at o'clock
sharp. Chief of Police Dierks, officers
Keys and Beaver were sworn and gave
evidence of the way the crowd has
acted and the warnings given them.
They had been warned that the boys
intended to play a game on them by
attaching wire to an electric light
wire and connecting the same to an
iron fence, then have the SINNERS"
chase them, run into the wire and
receive shock that would probably
knock them down.
The officers spread so as to surround
the gang. Officers Keys being detailed
to go down Drinker street. He watch
ed for the trap, but failed to locate it
until he received a current of electri-
city. The crowd escaped. Sunday
evening the same performance was re-
v
Brady and Farrell, not running with
the crowd, were caught by officer
Beaver. who reported the trouble and
had the warrants issued.
Bewick, the youngest boy of the
whole lot was called first and gave a
straightforward story and impressed
all that he was innocent of any at
tempt of wrong-doing, except that he
was in the crowd. Farrell was then
called and gave his story He said
Brady found the wire connected to a
ring on the rope used to lower the cleo
trio light lamp and threw the same
across the iron fence, but threw it back
upon the ground The rest of the evil
dence Corresponded with officer Beav-
er's
Brady was then given a chance to
tell what he knew about the trouble
and seemed to take 1t as good joke
and kept a very bold front throughout
the hearing. During a short recess,
when Burgess Powell was compelled
he attacked officer Beaver and, as he
thought made a grand hit because the
officer arrested him.
The impression made on the hearers
was altogether different from what he
expected. Moloy was next He de-
MED being there at all. He was al
lowed to sit down. The hearing then
adjourned until tonight, when thir-
teen more will be arraigned for a hear
ing, this number being found out from
the above boys, who admitted they

TALKS WITH JETMORE.
Attorney General Listens to
County Attorneys Side.

Although Attorney General GODDARD
has made no public announcement OF
his intentions he has indicated to some
of his friends that he will not at this
time bring proceedings in the courts to
GUST the county attorney and sherlf
of Shawnee county from Office, for al
legged failure to take proper steps to
secure the enforcement of the proh1o-
itory law.
There seems to be some division OF
opinion among the members of the
committee of 200. Three members of
the committee, headed by J. w. Gleed'
called on Mr.. GODDARD a few days ago
and requested him to at once proceed
against County Attorney Jetmore and
Sheriff Cook.
Mr.. GODDARD sent for Mr.. Jetmore
Monday afternoon and the TWO men
held a long conference. During the con-
ference Mr. Jetmore explained to Mr.
GODDARD that the effort to nave MN
ousted from office could not be maze
successfully. Because, sara Mr. > e. e.
more, Il have not violated my oath OF
office The records of my office ana
the courts will show that l have not
failed to prosecute a single case against
a tointist. I am ready at all times 10
bring prosecutions upon proper infor-
nation but the law does not contemplate
and the people do not expect county
attorney to spend his time proving
If persons have the information and
will bring it to me 1 will bring the
SUITS
Jetmore trying to hide behind that
subterfuge of every official VINO does
not want to do an unpleasant outy;
The people won't bring me evidence
Politicians might as we'll admit that
they are afraid to do anything to sup
press the Joints and Attorney General
GODDARD is himself in a dilemma where
he can appreciate Mr.. JetmOre'S posi-
ton. No wonder he sympathizes with
him.
When the committee of twenty-five
members called on Mr. GODDARD and
asked him to take a hand in local af-
fairs one or two members OF the COM
mittee pledged themselves to furnish
evidence against the joints then op-
Grating in Topeka. The member or the
committee who was strongest in his
promises agreed to furnish the evil
dence in a certain number of days.
That was more than a month ago but
the evidence has not yet been presented
to the attorney general
Mr.. Jetmore says the representatives
of the temperance committee have
promised several times, to present to
him evidence which would be con-
elusive, but up to date they have failed
to do so. Il am ready to proceed when
receive that evidence he said to Mr.
GODDARD
Mr.. GODDARD did not say to Mr.. Jet
more yesterday afternoon that no pro-
ceedings would be brought but it is
generally believed that at this time Mr..
GODDARD will take no part in the local
fight. He thinks the officers ready to
enforce the law if proper evidence is
ly decline to act he does not believe he
has any right to go into the matter.
