FAKE WHISKEY FIRMS
WhiSkey Was Bought From Houses
That Never Has Existed.
Remarkable Testimony as to Dispen-
sary Creditors Brought Out Mt tho
Hearing In Columbia On Thursday.

"carlhR In SOlumDl0 On Thursday
1t having been established before
the dispensary commission that the
address given as Headquarters of the
alleged liquor firm Of Belair Distill-
ing Company Is In a fashionable res
idence OF Baltimore, it was brought
out at the hearing Thursday that the
address given at the Washington
branch of the Bclair concern was the
same address OF Richard G. Co., 4S0
Pennsylvania avenue.
From letter heads Of both con
Germs it was shown that j. S. Richard
a member Of the firmf OF Richard &,
Co., was also president of the Belair
concern. and then it was shown that
Richard Is brothcr-in-law OF NJ.
Nj. Goodman. the agent Of Ullman &,
Co., who ia now under bond on
charges Of conspiracy to defraud the
State.
The BelaIr Company, 1t appeared
pensary after 1905, when Ullman a
Co. were put on the blacklist by the
lay committee. 1t was then stated
by Mr.. Fielder that Goodman had put
IN bids for Ullman & Co, the Anchor
DiStllling Company, Strauss G. Co,
Richard d Co, the Commonwealth II
Distilling Company and tho Bclair
Distilling Company, all Of which got
sucincss from the dispcnsury. and all
Of which according to Mr.. Fielder, be
longcd to the "Ullman family" 1t
was shown that Goodman in 1908
bad put in a bid as president Of tho
Commonwealth Company, though In
lis recent testimony he said he left
the Commonw wealth Company before
that year. The old dispcnsary law
prohibited one concern putting in
more than one bid
: The commission passed, a judgment
finding that, Oh account nt-of2oEereailig, !,
cs the Beair concern was indebted to
the State In the sum Of $l0,492 to
which is to be applied the amount
Of the claim, $G,3S6.41 But if the
Bclair concern Is fake concern
what Is the Judgment worth? To
show that it is fake concern, Eel
der said no record OF its charter
could be found in any state; there
was no response to Il notice sent by
registered mail, no one had appeared
for the concern and the house could
not be found in Baltimore by a col
lection agency. During the investi-
cation Mr. Lyon suspected that the
Bclair concern was protcge OF
Flcischman & Co. He was on the
track, but did not get the game.
Evidence was also produced to
show that j. w. Kelly & Co., and
King e. Co.. both Of Chattanooga,
was one and the same concern and
both had put in bids on Silver Spring
corn liquor at prices 20 per cent.
higher than Kelly & Co. had charg-
ed other customers outside the State.
The claim OF King & Co amounts to
$b,395.

At Editor Koester of Tho Columbia

WHILE He is IN COURT

al to Give His Reasons for Assert
ing That tho Attorney General Has
Bcrn Trying to Convict in Dispcn-
sary Cascs with Bought Testimony.
During the session OF the 6isDon-

noon. Attorney General Lyon de-
n0unced Mr.. George r. Kocstcr. edl-
tor and manager OF the Columbia

hIr. RSeSter Questioned. s,4.
The official record is in substance
as follows:
Q. Mr.. Koestcr, the attention of
the commission has boon drawn to
this paragraph in this afternoons
daily paper as follows:
"Thc Record has hccn asked why il
assails Attorney General Lyon ana
seeks to hamper his attempts to have
"graftcrs" punished The insinun-
ton in the question IS that the Re
cord is In sympathy With the 'sraf-
tors The insinuation is too con
temptihlc TO notice.
"lINplanation OF the Records atti-
tudc toward Mir Lyon is wanted. IL
is easy to give II there has been
graft the Record, as much as Mr..
Lyon or anybody else, wants it OK
posed and the guilty punished, but
the methods employed to bring about
that desired result should be clean
and honorable and command respect.
1t is Mr.. Lyons methods to which
the Record objects. Wherever the
Ang'o-SaNon civilaZatlon has spread
a common maxim Of it's Courts has
been mat 1t is better for Il thousand
guilty men to escape Than that one
Innocent man should he punished
similar in spirit is the Records
bclcf that It is bette that all dis

That an attempt should be made to

that it was the policy OF the com

and not against the Attorney General
and would like to ask Mr. Koester
few questions.

AN AFFIDAVIT READ.

hannhnn Told Him That He Had
Employed Senator BIcase to Re-
present His Firm Before the State
Board OF Control.-BIcasc Read nm
Affidavit from Lanahan Denying 1t.
Testimony which the Legislative
investigating committee Of 1906 de-
clined to bring out was developed hv
the commission to wind IN tbe
affairs of the State dispensary
at Columbia on Thursday when
Messrs. Lewis w. Parker and Ellison
a Smyth were put on the stand ana
related conversation with Mr.. 8.
j. Lanahan, Of Baltimore. in 1909
IN regard to the employment of n
prominent politician" to represent
the Lanahan firm before the State
board or control. Mr.. Parker said
lhat Lanahan in n prior conversation
when Capt. Smyth was not present
mad said that Hon. Coleman l..
l}lcase was the agent referred to.
1t is understood that Mr.. Blease
VINO is now and has for four years
been State Senator from Newberry.
and who was candidate for Governor
year before last, has an anidavit
from Mr.. Lanahan denying that Mr..
Lanahan made the statement attrih-
uted to him. He said that he had
read it during the campaign last sum
mer on the stump at Union and that
1t was published at that time. He
showed the original affidavit, which
he has kept pinned In his inside
pocket.
Those familiar with the dispensary
investigations will recall that two
years ago the Legislative committee,
to investigate the dispensary sum
moned Mr. Parker to appear and he
Iealtcd in substance the converse ton
with Mr.. Lanahan, but when pressed
by Mr Lyon to give the name of the
prominent politician he declined to
do so. AS Mr.. Parker challenged the
power of the committe to make him
answer, a case on habcas corpus pro-
ccedings was brought in the Supreme
Court and the Court decided that
the committee had the authority to
require Mr.. Parker to answer its
questions. But the committee dccid-
