SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, August IS.
There has been considerable indig-
nation expressed among the people not
only in this vicinity, but all over the
country, in regard to the action of
Prosecuting Attorney Hardman in hav-
Ing warrants sworn out for and arrests
made OF people who have been labor
Ing on Sunday. On Monday last two
teamsters were arrested at Middle
Bourne for hauling ON Sunday. They
were taken before a justice and held
On the sum of 500 for their appear
ance in court to stand trial on the
charge.
The whole cause of the trouble is
that Prosecuting Attorney Herdman is
a deadly enemy of Sistersville and ev-
cry one in the city for the very good
reason chat Sistersville lets an oppor-
tunity go by without showing that
gentleman how little it thinks of him.
While the speak-easies were running
here Herdman and his gang had plenty
of revenue on account of the number
OF cases against the men who were
running these places but since all the
saloons here now have both a city and
State license the most of that revenue
is cut off, and having nothing better in
sight to fall back upon they go after
the teansters and others who are COM
PEELED to work on the Sabbath day.
Herdman gets a fee of $40 on each
case of this kind in which he secures
a conviction. and when it will be re-
membered that 1t is thoroughly
well known fact that fully 200 and pos
sibly more indictments against this
class of people will be returned bv the
grand jury now in session at Circuit al
MiddlebOurne, it will be readily seen
that he gets quite snug sum, even
Ut only portion OF the cases come up
in which he secures q conviction.
The teamsters are Thoroughly incensed
about the matter. 1t can be said au-
thoratively that they are organizing
and will do everything in their power
to circumvent this attempt of the
county officials to knock them out o.
their hard earned money, and to tale
away from them their sustenence The
men are not alone in this move eitl er.
Nearly all the large oil companies Who
are compelled to operate their Frop-
critics are taking hand in the latter
and it is altogether likely the.e will
he a. very interesting time ahead for
.fr. HeTdman. They will, in all prob
ability, fight the matter to the bitter
end and that they will eventually win
there is not the slightest doubt. There
are, even among the most persistent
workers in this section, men who care
to work on Sunday where it is abso-
lutely a necessity.
Those cases which have already been
brought before the court will hardly
come up before the December term
However, should they come up and
conviction be secured by the over zeal
Gus attorney there will be an interest
ing time, as | have been reliably in
formed that number of warrants have
been sworn out for the prosecutor,
charging him with performing and
compelling Others to perform labor on
the Sabbath day. The matter has been
given very close attention and it is
likely the gentleman in question will
lind that he does not hold all the
trump cards in the deck.
