Montgomery November 17.-(Speclal)- Following active steps taken by Gov. B. B. Conner the first part of this week to put a stop to alleged violations in this city of the Alabama statewide pro- hihition laws, several raids have been made in Montgomery by Sheriff Horace Hood, with the general impression out that lsmore are en route." It is cur rently rumored on the streets that he shrievalty boss has issued sweeping or ders for his deputies to close down every thing that in the least resembles intox- icating beverages, the modus operandi in such instances to be either by the warrant or the injunction route.
 Almost Immediately upon the resur- rection of hostilities directed against the alleged liquor dealers and dove-tailing with the defense of such dispensers of tie bewitching cocktail and the alluring sherry and fruit connections, attorneys of the city friendly to the much op- pressed saloonists have got busy on the constitutionality of the three legislative acts which sealed the box in this com monwealth, and have now come forward with an assertion that all of the laws are bad, totally lacking legality and corre- spondingly vicious in that the state has been deprived for so long time of the thirst assuagers.

Active scurrxing

Not much has been given out in Mont gomery concerning the interview which took place between Governor Conner and Sheriff Hood the first part of this week. but 1t is known that the states chief executive went after the alleged blind tigers which are said to be operated in the city, and 1t is further known that since the interview there has been a general scurrying in every direction. The friends of Sheriff Hood, who is one of the most popular officials ever elected in Montgomery, are of the opinion that the governor has listened to some slan- ders against him, which are generally discredited here. Ever since the adjourn ment of the last legislature the sheriff has been constantly in the limelight be- cause of wholesale raids which he has made every month.
 Every grand jury that has reported in this county has brought some true bills | against alleged liquor dealers, and the warrants in each instance have been | promptly served. But despite this, al- | most every raid accomplished by the sheriff has found liquors on premises Today dray leads of liquors were carted away from alleged keepers stores, and locked up in jail or poured in the gut l ters.
 1 Allegations made in various parts oi the city that the ancient "coffee pot sys- | tenn" has again come int. vogue may oi
 may not be true that method of doing
 business being G1ite effective when the roles are properly learned.
 Activities of the sheriff at this time and of the states chief executive almost
 on the eve of the repeating of the pres
 ent liquor laws. have brought about nc
 end of speculation in this section of the 1 state. Governor Conner has only about
 two more months to serve as the states chief executive, but 1t is rumored tha
 he has determined in this time to keeI
 a most watchful eye on Montgomery Birmingham and Mobile, in so far as al lleged violations of the liquor laws art
 concerned.

Of DEFENSE
DENIED BY COURT
Documentary Evidence Will
Not Be Ruled Out as De-
sired by Counsel.

At the close Of the governments case
this afternoon Attorney Henry E. Davis,
for the defense at the trial of Harvey M.
Lewis, James n. Huston and Everett Du-
four. before Justice Wright and jury
In Criminal Court No. ]. asked the court
to strike out of the record all the docu-
ments and letters secured from the Of
fees Of the National Trust Company, fol-
lowing the arrest of Lewis in September,
1909.
Mr.. Davis urged that it is against pub
lie morals and policy to allow an officer
of the government, in the absence of
search warrant, to rifle the office of II
person accused Of crime, when Il warrant
for his arrest is being served and to allow
the government to use material thus
illegally secured against a prisoner. He
also pointed out that by the seizure Of the
papers the defendant had been deprived,
in violation of his constitutional right,
of the means of preparing and present
ing his defense.
1t is said this particular point mas never
been passed on by the local courts, and
the decision of Justice Wright will es-
tablish precedent.
The argument Of the motion occupied
the afternoon session of the court, and
the jury was excused until tomorrow
morning.
Justice Wright late this afternoon de-
MED the application of the defense to
strike out the documentary evidence. and
also declined to grant a motion by the
defense to instruct the jury to acquit
the defendant.
The defense will begin the taking Of
testimony tomorrow.
Testimony Of T. Wesley Wright.
The first witness for the government to-
day was T. Wesley Wright Of New York.
He testified that in the summer Of 1903
he replied to an lad inserted by the
National Trust Company of Washington
in a metropolitan paper.
After several letters had passed be-
tween him and the company he was
visited in New York city by Lewis
and Huston. he said, and they ex-
planned the advantages Of the company
and assured witness that II he would
have the stock Of a. company in which
he was interested guaranteed at a
cost of s3.50o they could quickly sell
the stock for him.
Witness said he was not favorably
impressed with the proposition. but
that the two defendants were persist
ent in their efforts to have him guar
antee his stock.
Lewis called on him twice, he stated.
with this object in view, and Huston once
after the first interview.
At Illusions last visit. he said, witness
intimated to him that he thought the
National Trust Company was shaky. Mr.
Huston, according to the witness, becom-
ing indignant, pulled from hts pocket a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bill, and pointing to
his signature as United States Treasurer
there on, said: 100 you think 1 would
sacrifice my high Office and standing by
being connected with a company that
was not all right?"
Mr.. Wright told the jury that even this
did not persuade him to part with $500
to have the guaranty.
