IMPORTANT CASES
COMING TO TRIAL
HieeLER AND NEWBERRY TO RE-
cEivE HEARING DURING
NOVEMBER TERM.

A number Of important cases are
scheduled for trial during the Novem-
Der term Of the recorders court. which
opened Monday. notable among them
beieng the cases against Police Capt.
Frank A. Eewberry and Frank Hib-
bier. charged with grating on Annie
Smith, former notorious resort keeper
In Delray. Because Of this fact. Judges
Phelan and Connolly were extra eau
tious In instructing the Jurors who are
TO sit In these cases, when the Novem-
Der panel was sworn In, Monday morn
ing. Though no specific mention WAS
made Of any pending case. Judge Pho
Ian plainly referred TO Annie Smith
when, supplementing some general re-
marks by Judge Connolly. he said:
1T Is necessary for the people. In
order to establish q case. to bring In
witnesses TO the crime charged. and
IL sometimes happens that these wit
nesses are persons engaged In occupa-
tons not countenanced by the law. As
Jurors. you should not discredit wit
ne.ses because of their calling or be-
cause Of their past life. All that
concerns you is whether these wit
nesses tell the truth, regardless OF
their antecedents or surroundings"
Judge Connolly cautioned the jurors
to be just and fair In their disposition
of cases entrusted to their considera-
ton and to let their conduct at all
times be above suspicion.
Frequently attorneys are found
talking with Jurors in a corner or In
a hallway. and even though the mat
ter under discussion may have no ref
erence to the case on which the Juror
may be sitting. II Is a bad practice
and one that should be discouraged"
he said. Allow no one to talk to you
about case In which you may be In
terested as a juror. And II any at.
tempt Is made TO engage you In con-
versation inform the persons making
the attempt that they are violating
the law"

gan-ave. In the meantime the police

RAFTING MIR. o'nRIES.

The most mysterious incident in the Connecticut campaign and at the same time the most dramatic Is that con nected with the conduct of the un- known stranger who has been logging Matthew OBrien, tho prohibition can didate for governor and donouncing him as an ex-conyict Wherever Mir. o'Brion appears in his touring auto mobile there appears also the un- known stranger, ready to renew his alleged exposure of the prohibition candidate for high office.
 Already papers have been served on the stranger by officers Of the law at Mr O'Brien's request which suggests that later the courts will decide as to the correctness of the charges made and the defense presented At any rate it Is not for a newspaper to an tcipate the regular hearing in court The more popularly interesting feat ure of the mysterious batting ot Mr. Q Brlen affects the inquiry, who cares enough for Mir O'Brens losing hght in Connecticut to go to all of the ex- pense involved in this automobile batting excursion? When the oratori. cal stranger was placed under arrest ne promptly pulled out thousand dollar bin and resumed the enjoyment of his liberty He even went on speak ing to the excited and wondering crowd Men wno go about in anto- mobiles with a pocket lined with bond money are not So frequently met with AS to dismiss an interest in their his tory
 i Mr O'Brien Is quoted as saving that it Is not strange that man who has given the vets so much trouble in i Connecticut and at Washington as he has done should be denounced and porsecuted, But even so it Is difficult to see what the mysterious and well ] healed stranger hopes to gain by pro- coeding in this expensive and physi- caily tiresome Wanncr. If Mr. o'Brien had ghost of a show of carrying Connecticut or of convincing congress that prohibition Is fine proposition
 that would be one thing. But he can accomplish neither. Then what is it all about and who is footing the bills
 for this most extraordinary political
 incident? The stranger should get in. innate and tell Connecticut all about it. We are curious.
