How it all came about is difficult
to see, but the Mems union agents
aver that 1t will all be disclosed in
good time. Jurors who were asked to
explain made this remark: Let them
begin at the speak-easies."
Attorney +. E. Beers. one of the
legal representatives of the union,
said: Jury packing did 1t, and we
will show it up in due time. They
will find that it is cheaper to sell on
Sundays than to meddle with juries."
Robert Wilson, chief agent of the
Mems union, says: I'm the cases ig-
nored the evidence in everysnstance
was as strong, and in most instances
stronger than in those in which true
bills were returned"
Said +. b. Sturges, the prime mover
in the crusade: 1T will be an expen-
sive ignoramus for those who got out
of it by the means employed. 1t is
the worst thing that could have hap
pened them. Those against whom
true bills were returned will find them
selves better off in the end"
Mr. Sturges says an exception is
made in the case of Phil Coyne. His
arrest was due to mistaken identity.
There was no evidence against him.
Mr.. Sturges said.
a warrant was yesterday issued by
Alderman Howe, at the instance of
Robert Wilson, agent for the Mems
union of Green Ridge, for the arrest
OF Michael O'ConnOr and John Walsh,
of the firm. of O'Connor a. Walsh, of
2lS Lackawanna avenue. They are
charged with selling liquor on Sun
day.
