ton expects to show that the facts
about this transaction were as fol-
lows:
That Hibbler. who had been intro
ouced to Annie Smith some time pre-.
viousiy by Capt. Newberry, with the
understanding and consent of the
other two men, got the money In two
installments from Annie. with the un.
derstading that she was to be protect
ed against threatened competition by
Julian 10th. another Hungarian re-
sort keeper, who. at that time, was
trying to establish herself directly
across the street from Annie's place.
The 10th woman, II Is claimed, had
onered to put up $500 to be allowed
to run In this location, and A. p. Cox.
her attorney, testified before Justice
Jenries that he was to receive $500
for his services. but, the prosecution
will contend, Hibbler and his ASSOC
ciates favored Annie and the latter
readily consented to pay $500 to have
her rival put out OF business. Ac-
cording to the peoples theory, Hib-
bier collected from Annie $500 as the
first installment and few days later
received $500. A week after that.
II is alleged. he called and exacted
800 more. making a total of $500. al
though Annie had agreed to put up
only $500.
