Green Did Not Get His Damaged
Eggs From MIR. Put1eI, Though.
Paul Green was before Recorder Hart
ridge in the Police Court yesterday morn
ing to answer a charge of cheating and
swindling that had been preferred against
him. The charge was based on a bust
ness transaction in which Green had en-
gagged, the sale, namely, of badly damag-
ed and aged eggs to innocent and unsus-
pecting purchasers.
The police had stated in connection with
this case that the eggs were those that
had been damaged in the fire in the mar
ket basement, when the stock of Mr.. L.
Putzel was to large extent consumed.
1t was not minated by the police, and
of course, was not in the reproduction Of
the police story that appeared in yester-
days Morning News, that Mr. PutZel was
conscious of the use to which the eggs
would be put. Mr.. Putzel says, as a mat
ter of fact, the eggs We're not purchased
from him at all, and that he would not
have sold them to Green under any cir
cumstances. Neither were they the eggs
damaged in the fire at his place
The man had been known TO play the
same trick many times In the past and
had been known by Mr.. Putzel and other
dealers to sell damaged eggs at a price
very much below the market, as he could
well afford 10 do. He is said to have
bought these eggs from negro employe
of one of the produce houses, and to have
them washed and cleaned until they
presented a marketable appearance. The
Recorder turned him over to a magistrate
on a warrant charging the commission of
the offense of cheating and swindling.

500 to j. G. l.. Harris, in December

words of the record Of the meeting
which follow:
'On motion of Mr.. King, Mr.. Harris
was asked to look after the legislature
and that he be paid extra for the work
to the amount of $780,"
Hill King moving that j. G. l.. Harris
be asked to look after" the late legis-
lature, and that ''he be paid extra for the
work. to the amount of $780,. And all
this while the members of that body
have gone along in ignorance of the fact
that they were Cooked after" that
when Loge lowered in the Hobbies in his
famous frock coat. kid gloves and bed
room slippers, it was really in the guise
of Il solicitous and more or less bothered
guardian angel And so Loge was really
the inspircr of the Constitutional Amend
ment. the Jim. Crow Car Law, the new
election law and other things that made
the heather rage. For was not Loge
looking after" EN-? The strangest
part of this proceeding was that Loge
was paid the 500 in December, ac-
cording to the voucher. and did not peer
in the wake of the Legislature until
January at the earliest. EX-Secretary
Ramsey could not tell what this looking
after consisted of, though he recognized
the voucher as an old friend.
1t was also brought out that the board
had paid Logc's license in the United
States Supreme court, though the other
attorneys had not even received their
expenses in the same case.
Another thing that attracted the at
tention of the examiners was the way in
which the expense account of j. &. Ray
expanded. On all the States manure
pile there was nothing that showed such
Il rapid, continuous and lusty growth.
When Ray made the first trip from
Boone to Lenor to board train for his
first time it cost him about So both ways
as his voucher showed. 1t is 80 miles
from Boone to Lenoir. When Ray made
the trip last December it cost. according
to his voucher just S1G.70. From meet
ing to meeting his expenses had grown
until they reached this grand finale. 1t
is presumed that Mr.. Ray executed the
December trip by the aid of coach
and eight with footmen, positions and
outriders. as the S16.70 can't be other
wise accounted for.
