Fleming Case Decided

In the superior court Tuesday
Judge Joiner announced his decision
for the defend ants in the Fleming
case, which was tried several months
ago. Joseph Fleming brought suit
against his father and Mrs. Janet
Fleming, alleging that q deed given
by him and conveying all of his in
terest in tract of 152 acres Of land
at Kanaka bay, willed to him by his
mother, subject to life interest Of
bis father, was obtained fraudulently
and for insufficient consideration.

every particular and assesses the
costs against the plaintiff.

the morning, between A. Stoliker and
c. w. Candy, in which the latter was
injured by the former with a knit.
The jury consisted OIL. S. Groll, Chas.
Baker, Samuel Todd, Julius Schruder,
c. NJ. Cunningham, G.. F. Burroughs,
Chris Jensen, James Harwood, Chris
Cook, B. F. Wood, VIM. A. Wright,
J. F. Gallanger.
In his opening statement to the
jury, Prosecuting Attorney Garrett
outlined what he expected to be able
to prove and then began tAe introduc-
tion of testimony by callir g Mrs. Eli
"a Welch, owner of the Tourist hotel
building, to identify the lease held by
Lightheart Bros. of the saloon premi-
ses, for which they pay monthly
rental of $50.
In order that the taxpayers of :he
county, who must ''foot the bill' for
jury, witnesses, etc, and other read
ers of the ISLANDER interested in the
moral questions involved, may Judge
the case upon its merits, we publish
the substance of all the testimony.
A. Stoliker was the first witness
called by the prosecution. He gave
most of his testimony evasively and
indefinitely and many objections were
interposed by Lightheart's counsel
to questions asked and replies given.
Replying to one of these objections
the prosecuting attorney stated to
the court that it must be evi.,ent to
him that Stoliker was an unwilling
witness. His testimony, however,
was positive enough as to the question
of gambling. He stated that when
he entered the saloon about nine
o'clock on the night when the offense
is alleged to have been committed, a
'ssoc:al game of poker" was in pro-
gress in which six men were then
playing. When asked to name some
of them he mentioned Fred Peasley,
IL. B. Carter and G. w. CANDY and
said there were one or two who were
strangers to him. There was q va
cant seat at the table viii b he took
~ q dollar nr two IN the table
He continued playing until the game
broke up about one o'clock in the
morning and in the meantime s'took 9
| few drinks" He would not state
positively that the drinks were served
by Lightheart, though he thought it
probable that they were. He could
not see the bar from where he sat,
but players on the other side OF the
table could. No testimony was elicit
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1907-04-06

ed from him as to the manner in
which the game ended. He had been
in the saloon many times and had
often gambled there in small way.
Fred F. Peasley was the next wit
ness. While it vas quite evident that
he was friendly to the defendant he
gave his testimony frankly and un-
equivocally. He tes lied that he
boards at the Tourist hotel and that
he has played cards many times in
the portion of the building leaseu by
Lightheart Bros. for saloon purposes.
He stated that on the evening in
question he was in the saloon shorty
after supper when L. B. Carter en-
tered and suggested that they have
a game of pedro. Cards and chips
were obtained from the bar and a
game was started. ''We played one
or two games of pedro" said he,
"but that was hardly swift enough
for US so we each took out dollars
worth of chips and started in for
blood" He mentioned Mr.. Carter.
Walter Mead and G. w. Candy as
being Gin the game and said that
A. Stoliker came in and started to
play shortly before be left, about $50.
He did not return that night. Could
not say positively whether the de-

Boy Sent to the
Reform School

Charlie Schruder, stepson Of Louis
Schruder, of Port Stanley, was tried
before Judge Joiner Tuesday, under
the provisions of the juvenile court
law, upon the charge of burglarizing
the Port Stanley Rochdale Com
pany's store, and was ordered sent
to the state reform school at Cheha-
lis. Had the offense been committed
by an adult it would have been pun
ishable by Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary.
The boy, though not yet sixteen
years of age, is about as large and
strong as the average man. Mr..
Schruder does considerable team
work for the Rochdale Company and
the boy was helping him haul mer-
chandise from the dock to the store
one day last week and when no one
was watching him he removed the
nails which fastened down a window
sash and that evening entered the
store and stole number of small ar
ticles of merchandise and dollar or
two in money. He was discovered
when he entered the building through
the window and was caught as he
came out, feet foremost, but got
away and ran into the lagoon in front
of the store, from which he emerged
after time upon the advice of men
who quietly awaited his coming on
shore.
A short time ago he broke into the
post-office at Port Stanley and stole
$35, for which crime he was punished
by the federal authorities. Nearly
all of the money was recovered.
The boys mother died number of
years ago. Though apparently quite
able to distinguish between right and
wrong, his moral perceptions, or lack
of them. seem to incline him to wrong
doing, and he seems rather more to
be pitied than blamed.

An Abel Misstatement

to the county authorities there for

authorities Of this county, or that he

that he could not make living On il
he soon left it. Judge Tucker assist

the playing but thought perhaps he
was. Didn't remember seeing any
other bartender there before he left.
The table was not visible from TIE
bar, though the players on one side
of it were. On cross examination he
stated that he had several times
heard Lightheart forbid gambling.
"He often caught me in little game, I"
said he, "and made me quit" He
had very frequently played cards
there sometimes for stakes and
sometimes without. On the night in
question games we're played both
ways. 1t was not shown by him that
defendant had forbidden gambling
that night.
E. H. Nash testified that he went
into the saloon about II o'clock; that
be found a game of draw poker in
progress and that be took part in it,
putting two dollars in the box under
the table and taking out their equiv
alent in ''beans" or "chips." He
continued playing until about 1890
or l a. m. and lost about $1.5O.
Couldn't say positively that the de-
fendant served drinks at the table,
but thought he did. Had heard that
gambling was forbidden by the pro-
prietors of the place.
When Mr.. Nash's testimony was
concluded it was nearly p. m. and
adjournment was taken until 9 a. m.
Wednesday.
The first witness called Wednesday
morning was Osro Strahl. His testi-
mony was of about the same character
as that OF Mr.. Peasley and Mr.. Nash.
He was followed by L. B. Carter
whose evidence shed no new light up
on the matter but further confirmed
the charge that gambling was in pro-
gress in the defendants place of busi-
ness and in his presence on the night
in question. On cross examination
both of these witnesses tes stified that
they had heard Lightheart forbid
the playing of any games for money.
Mr.. Carter had left the place some
time before the alteration occurred
between Stoliker and Candy, which
led to the filing Of the complaint in
this case.
G. w. Candy was next called. He
was most n1calcitrant witness,
evlncing a decided disinclination to
tell ''the truth. the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. He admit
ted, however, that he gambled with

chile leader of the other school isl
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania and it
would not be strange to see n bril-
liant battle between the Pcnnsylva
Man and the lndianan over this sub
ject.
The flght at the coming session for
the preservation OF the rights of the
states will not fall entirely upon the
shoulders Of the Democratic Congress-
men and Senators. for many Republic
cans have taken very pronounced
ground against the encroachment of
the federal government upon theI
rights of the states Congressman
James A. Tawncy. of Minnesota, in
Il speech recently delivered made this
subject the principal theme of his adj
comment on account of his views. IL
il probable that this speech will lie
quite freely quoted at the coming SEES
sion of Congress. MIR. Tawney de-
clnrod that We were today creating
new services In respect to local ar
fairs of the people which would not
have been tolerated o. years ago"
lie pointed out how the Southern
states. always sticklers for the rights
of the states. had surrendered their
quarantine rights IN order to have
the national government pc form this
police duty for them. Mr.. Tawncy
sounded note of warning against the
federal tendency TO increasing the in
spcction and special agent system of
the federal government, extending it
to so many affairs of business ms to-
become source of danger TO 1hc
liberty of the citizen and oncroach.
mcnt upon The rights of the individ'
nal 1T has been suggested said
NJ. Tawney that the reason for this
practical change in our system Of
government is to he sought in the i'm
perlal aggrcssions of the party now
in control of the national govern
mcnt." AS Republican Mr.. Tnwney
of course could not agree with that
contention, claiming that II was due
to the tendency OF the states to- s,f
render thole powers and, through
their representatives, come to Con
gress to have work done for hem.
There is much that is truthful in
the last assertion and there is no
doubt but that some of the Southern
states Nave given the federal govern
mcnt foothold on their rights. hut
even If that vantage had not lnen
granted. 1t would not have made any
difference with the present admins
tration. The President is an avowed
federalist of the strongest sort and
In HIS determination to contralizc the
government he would have pushed his
theo. les into practice whether the
states has asked the national author
ties for aid or not.
