The broad ax., 1907-01-26


ond trial completely endorsed little
Ed. Wilson, Col. Pony" who rode to
and from the trial with the ladies in
a large white wheeled auto. and they
claimed it was not conducted fairly,
so they waited until the April grand
Jury, began running In full blast,
then they were among the first to ap-
pear before that body, and after Grace
RAYMOND, Hattie or Addie Caine and
! Col. Pony" had been ushered into the
presence of the members of the grand
Jury, and had fully related their seE-
eral tales of woe. and after Col.
Pony" had almost sweated blood,
while answering questions proprounG-
ed TO him by Assistant States Attor-
ney, Going, who Is proving himself to
be one OF the best Municipal Judges
in Chicago, which he read from the
copies of The Broad AK, which he had
before him containing the brilliant re-
cord of Col. Pony" and after the
|
| former King or Lord Mayor Of the
RED Light District had been request
ed to retire from the grand jury
rooms in order to give him time to
catch his breath, they returned a no
bill" against Julius F. Taylor.
Then Col. A. ID. Cash who ranks in
every way with the ablest lawyers in
this country, and who was one Of our
staunchest friends while both of us
resided in Utah, and James H. Hoop
er got real busy. and the result was a
suit was commenced in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, against Pony"
Moore for twenty thousand dollars:
, charging him with false arrest, mali
| cicus prosecution and conspiracy.
| and as Col. Pony" had failed to
enter his appearance in any manner,
shape or form, Messrs. Cash and
| Hooper, had the case calieu for trial
last Thursday morning in Judge Glib
Ions, Court, and after relating every
thing of any importance in connec-
ton with the long drawn out case be-
fore Justice Melville. the second case
be fore Justices Rhodes and Adams.
how the gang Of consDirators mad left
nc stone unturned in their mad effort
to have The Broad AK, excluded from
the United States mails, simply for
publishing the truth, how they had
failed to secure our indictment by the
grand jury. how that Col. Pony" had
boasted that "he would spend one or
two or three thousand dollars for the
purpose of running our business repu-
| tation and drive us out Of town, how
We had to pay out six hundred dollars
as Attorneys fees and for court costs
in order to defend our common rights
as an humble member OF the news
PAPER profession. how we and the wife
of our youth had suffered mentally
and had to endure many insults
throughout that long period.
AS We wound up Judge Gibbons, ask;
ed us a few questions as to who read
The Broad AK, stating that he had
read it many times himself; then
Col. Cash unbosomed himself of one
Of the most eloquent orations ever de-
ivered in any court room in this
country and the eyes of several Of the
jurors were moist with tears when he
finished speaking, then the jury re-
tired and after being absent for al
most two hours, they marched into
court, and after being seated Judge
Gibbons said gentlemen is this your
verdict" and each and every one of
them declared it was, that they had
returned a verdict against Pony
Moore and In favor OF julius F. Tay-
Tor for $4,000, and as the court term
expired Sunday night at IL o'clock,
Judge Gibbons lost Jurisdiction over
the case and as Col. Pony" permitted
US to obtain the judgment by default,
1t has become final or absolute and as
1t began to draw interest from las,
Thursday and runs for twenty years
and as Col. Pony" resides in a fine
home at 1914 Calumet avenue, and
claims to own several thousand col
lars worth Of diamonds, the Palace
Theater on 31st street near Dearborn
street, the barber shop. bath rooms
} and pool rooms on State street be
