"No. the Municipal league is not
going out of business" said Robert
Wilson, its agent, yesterday 1--WE per-
mitted mol pros. to be entered in the
Maloney bribery case because we feel
that his punishment has been more
terrible than the law could possibly in
flict. and as the Simon Thomas and
Maloney cases are interviewer. we can
be mol pressed Also upon payment of
the costs.
1--WE feel sorry for Maoney He was
but the agent of other men higher UP,
whom we had hoped to reach. When
he was arrested we had very strong
case against him. He left the city, but
influences that We're set in motion
brought him back, and he agreed to go
on the stand and make clean breast
of his relations with the counclmen
and name the men who furnished the
money. These We're the men the Munich
pal league were really after We wanted
to reach the bribe-givers.
Persuaded Him to Leave.
"IIe had been back only about three
days when men who stand high in this
community persuaded him that it would
he best for him to leave the city. They
wanted to shield themselves, and they
cared not what became of their unfor-
tunate agent. Mr.. Maloney left, and
wandered from place to place. Wher
ever he went he heard men talk of
municipal and political corruption, and
Of men who had to leave home because
of their participation in them. He felt
he was pursued by detectives wherever
he went, and gradually his reason was
dethroned.
Finally he drifted to Chicago, and
there on street corners made speeches
in which he roundly denounced munich
pal corruption, and advised young men
to beware of bad companions. He was
picked up by the police, and when his
condition was noted was placed in an
institution there.
His friends came to us and asked if
we would consent to have him brought
to his home, where under proper treat
ment it was hoped he might win him
back his health and reason. We con-
sented with the understanding that if
he recovered the case would go to trial.
His case was mol pressed on these same
conditions.
