CONSIDERATION FOR BETRAYAL

"Now the questions I want to ask
are these:
What consideration did these men
receive for this base betrayal of their
trust?
"Can any thinking man come to any
other conclusion than that value was
received by somebody in some form or
another?
Would these faithless officials have
dared to do what they did If they had
not had moral assurance that they
would be saved harmless by the In
action of the district attorney?
I'm some mysterious way they must
have known in advance that they had
nothing to fear from this office. If
John D. Fredericks had observed his
oath of office; If he were not controlled
by the same influences that shackle
the solid three such things could
not happen in the county of Los An
geles and go unpunished. These guilty
officers have been safe in the knowl-
edge that the same kind of immunity
meted out to Harper and Kern would
save them from all harm except the
lash of an aroused public sentiment.
Ask any of the corruptionists and be-
trayers of the public today for whom
they stand for district attorney and
they will answer John D. Fredericks-
the reason Is too apparent for COM
ment.
"There is another deal of more re-
cent date put through by the same
band of traitors. 1 refer to the furni-
ture contract for supplying the new
hall of records. AS relate II can
not help but marvel that such acts of
treason are now possible in this great
county of ours.
FACTS CONCERNING CONTRACT
Here's what happened. The solid
| three being your servants and agents
awarded a contract to the California
Furniture company for the expenditure
| of $247, 800, when the lowest bid was
nearly 100000 less than that amount.
In other words, this means the filching
| from you of 100000 of money.
"The question naturally arises: What
motive prompted these men to this act
of treason and what do they get for sur
rendering their good names, If they
have any, what remuneration do they
get for the distrace that such acts must
bring upon them?
Let us again remind you that the
district attorney, by the provision of
/ the law I have referred to, must
actions against the county when he
deems them unjust and Illegal What
kind of district attorney have you had
to allow such a stupendous fraud to
be perpetrated? Does any man doubt
that with all the power he possesses,
not only as advisor TO that board but
as an official charged with the prose-
cution of offenses-I say does any man
doubt his ability to stop and prevent
such outrages If he could only be in
duced to do his duty and to serve the
people who elected him faithfully?
"The story of the riverbed steal, the
whitewashing of the Harper admins
trait and the immunity of the solid
three tells with more eloquence than
words can command the fact that so
long as John D. Fredericks remains
district attorney guilty officers may
violate the law with impunity and go
unwhipped of Justice"

worth upon the market was done at a
private sale and in secret. This ne
farious piece of business became public
through one faithful official. The at
tempted steal was set aside and by tho
estimate of Mr.. Alexander 100000 was
saved to the county.
