The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-02-19

In the big Sunday edition of the
Seattle Times the power plant up the
canyon is referred to as the Chiwaukum
power plant. The Echo is not adj
vised if any official name has been
given to the big electric plant by the
railroad company, if not, and propinquity
is taken into account, then it might
very properly be referred to as the
Leavenworth power plant. For the
information OF The Times it may be
stated that the plant referred to is just
two miles from Leavenworth and just
ten miles from Chiwaukum. Some one
might get off at Chiwaukum to see the
great power plant and if they did they
would certainly have to walk ten miles.
So much for the dissemination of ac-
curate information.

ing the society The lack Of interest in the
society was further emphasized last night,
when but ten persons attended. although

was decided 10 continue the committee
until the annual meeting on December
s, when a definite plan for the revival Of
interest IN the society will be recon-
mended.
A. r. spaid, Of the special committee
suggested a quarterly meeting Of direct
ors or trustees. with an annual meeting
for the public at which well-known lee
turers would appear. He also suggested
the organization Of womens aaxliarles,
as has been done by the Historical So
ciety Of New Jersey.
Former Judge /. c. Grubb presided. He
thought that new and younger blood was
needed, and expressed surprise that with
so many old families represented in the
society there should be a lack of inter-
est. Others discussed the matter briefly.
Francis II. Honecker reported a num-
ber Of donations Of pamphlets. Horace

ASK DISMISSAL
OF MUNDY CASE
Counsel For Liquor Merchant
Contends City Hasn't Fully
Proved Case
RAISING OF TECHINCALITY
CAUSES A CONTINUANCE

The hearing Of Cornelius Mundy.
charged with three violations OF the
law regulating the sale OF intoxicating
liquor, was resumed in City Court this
morning. having been continued from
Thursday. After an argument for a
dismissal on a technicaiity, Judge
Cochran further continued the hearing
until next Tuesday.
At the outset OF the trial to-day
Robert Richards, attorney for Mr..
Mundy. moved that the charges
against his client be dismissed on the
ground that the assistant city solicitor
had failed wholly to identity the de-
fendant as the one who had sold the
whisky alleged to have been bought
In less quantities than that allowed
wholesale dealers. and that IL had not
been shown that the establishment,
where the liquor was alleged 10 have
been bought. had been Cornelius
Mundy's. the testimony having been
merely that il was "Mundy's place"
While admitting that the point was a
technical one. Mr.. Richards submitted
that It would Justify the dismissal OF
the three charges.
In replying 20 Mr.. Richards motion As
sistant City Solicitor Chaytor declared
that Il had been specifically brought out
that the liquor had been purchased at
Cornelius Mundys establishment. Mr..
Richards insisted. however. that the de-
fendant had not been formally Identified
according to the usual procedure and that
the testimony had been that Mr.. Mundy
had not been the man who sold the
whisky.
Assistant city Solicitor Chaytor in view
OF the technicality. OF the motion asked
that the case be re-opened 80 that he
might introduce witness 10 properly
Identify Cornelius Mundy. declaring that
such would be necessary to prevent a
miscarriage OF justice.
Judge Cochran. however. thought such
an application would be proper when both
sides had presented testimony.
An argument as to The regularity OF the
application at this time then ensued be
tween Mr.. Richards and Mr. chaytor. an'
Judge Cochran decided 70 give Mr. Chay
tor an opportunity 70 INTRODUCES author
