ACTIONS
BY P(JGH
CENSUREO
ANOTHER TRIAL GRANTED
MAN BECAUSE OF INHUMAN
THIRD DEGREE" METHOD
PRACTICED BY SPOKANE
OFFICIALS.
DECISION MAKES
A PRECEDENT

Those familiar with the "sWeat-
ing" operations and "third degree"
tactics of the prosecuting attorneys
office and the Spokane police de-
partment will appreciate the timely
rebuke by the supreme court of the
state of Washington, which has
granted (. T. Montgomery of Elk,
in this county, another trial in a
felony case, because the prosecut-
ing witness was sweated by the
states attorney.
AS matter of fact, there have
been but one or two murder trials
in the superior court in the last IS
months, or since Prosecutor Fred
c. Pugh went into office, in which
the defendant was not sought to be
convicted on his own testimony
Oftentimes the state has had so
clear case that n sweating" Of
the defendant would not have been
necessary, yet as a matter of habit,
the prisoner was sweated Just the
same, and his admissions used
against him on the stand in spite of
the fact that the state already had
sufficient evidence to convict.
The most notable conviction In a
murder trial secured in the past
year was in the case of Paul Clein,
who steadfastly refused to admit
his guilt. The examination of Clein
was conducted in legitimate man
ner by William c. Donovan, who
had charge of the case. Failing by
this process of questioning to Sc
cure an admission of the crime the
officers then went to work to con-
Wet CleiH on actual evidence and
succeeded. in the most notable muir
der trial held in the superior court
in years.
Prosecutor Pushs chief allies In
the infamous third degree" are

and the shcriff's office. At police

4 GREAT GAIN
IN WATER
RECEIPTS
First II Months Water
Rents Increased
S50,217.30.

A wonderful gain is shown in the
receipts of the city water plant for
the year 1909. During the first II
months of the present year the
water rents increased $50,21780, or
ever IS per cent. This increase Of
water revenue taIIies with the in
crease in the number of water con-
sumers, which is greater this year
than ever before in the history of
the city.
Every month of the year shows
an increase in the revenue from the
sale of city water. 1t shows the
rapid growth of The city and illus
trates the need of extensions in the
water plant to meet this growth.
The coming year should see Il
greater increase in water revenues
than ever before. as with plenty of
water and the addition of many
miles more of new mains the water
consumption is bound to increase
