Mitchell and Maher Con-
victed Of Conspiracy.
One Former Boston Official,
The Other a Contractor.
Proven to Have conspirsd to De.
fraud the City Of $4,000.

Boston, July 1.-Michael j. Mitchell,
former purchasing agent for the city
of Boston, and Thomas f. Maher, a
contractor were found guilty by jury
in the superior court today of conspi-
racy to defraud the city of Boston of
s13 500 by signing contracts calling for
excessive prices for tagging. Sentence
was deferred and Judge Georso A.
Sanderson granted the defendants I'M
til Aug. 1 to file exceptions. Their bonds
of $4,000 each were continued.
The alleged fraudulent contracts
were made between August, 1906, and
the carly part of 1907, during the ad-
administration of Mayor John F. Fitz-
gerald. Ex- Mayor Fitzgerald was a
witness at the trial, which lasted eight
days, and he was sharply criticized by
the attorneys both for the state and for
the defendants for his failure to re-
member matters connected with the
case. The attorneys engaged in many
heated arguments and at one time were
called to order by the court.
The case went to the jury at p. M.
yesterday and at 9.15 A. NJ. a sealed
verdict was brought in, which was
)pned this morning. The alleged fact
that the city had been defrauded IN
this manner was one of the disclosures
made by the Boston finance commits
sion in it's recent investigation.

There are few women who view with
calmness the killing of harmless birds by
cats. On the other hand. there are few
