BOYD LIED DURING
BURNS INVESTIGATION

ever had of his contention that the
letter was printed without his consent
was when he testified to that effect
in the Burns trial.
IF this letter seems somewhat be-
lated, that fact Is due to my alb
sence from the city when the Burns
investigation was held Today for
the first time had 1 the opportunity
of reading stenographic report of
the mayors testimony.
"Inasmuch as I was absent from
the city when the investigation was
held. and had no opportunity to con-
tradict the mayors statement at that
time, I respectfully request that this
letter be preserved as part Of the
record of the Burns case. Yours
very truly. D. X. LARIMER."
Mayor Boyd lied during the Burns
investigation. He lied in order to sus-
tain his charges against the detective.
Now, IL the mayor lied In this case,
is it wrong to suppose that he lied
when he denied that he had written
Colonel" Tom Smith a letter asking
him to come back to spokane?
The mayor said that he did not
camp with Tom Smith. He lied once
during the investigation. Is 1t too
much to suppose that he lied again.
The mayor said: II am not con-
trolled by Dutch jake" but remem-
ber that once he told a little fib.

Commissioners: My Dear Sir--My
attention has been called to certain
testimony given by Mayor L. F. Boyd
in the recent investigation of the
charges against Detective Martin
Burns which I can not permit to go

Mayor Boyd testified that during

reporter, without his (Boyd's) con-

point was wholly and unqualifiedly
false, and was known to him to be
false when he gave 1t. The letter in
question was given me by Mayor
BOYD, and was published with his

fire department..
The burning sweeper was dragged
at a mad pace along Front avenue,
leaving a trail of fire behind. So hot
was the burning brush that the as
phalt pavement was partially melted
along the fiery trail.
The driver stuck to the burning
sweeper until the fire station at the
city hall was reached, when the chem
ical crew was called out and quickly
subdued the blaze.
The sight of burning mass being
run through the streets caused big
sensation through the Dempsie-ridden
district and a large crowd followed
the machine, shouting and cheering

or property owners would stand one
half of the expense.
The matter was about to go against
the street car company when Cor
poration Counsel Dudley came into
office and promptly rendered an opin-
ion to the effect that the Washington
Water Power company was right in
destroying the street and laying the
tracks to the legal grade, although
the law says the tracks shall be laid
to the grade OF the street.
This means that the street level
will be cut down to the level of the
street car tracks. II will destroy the
former beauty of the avenue and
leave the lots higher than the street
grade.
The opinion is likely to cause much
more trouble. The board of public
works can now compel the street car
company TO place all tracks at the
established grade. and as few of the
streets have the tracks at the legal
grade II win mean an expense for the
- company. Also Il win be expens'
