James c. Hill, stepfather OF Joe
Curry, has made reply to the
statements made before the Minis
terial association last Monday oy
Prosecutor Fred Pugh as to why
he failed to enforce the law In that
case. Pugh intimated that the true
facts had been withheld from him,
and that the matter was brought
up at the time for the purpose of
injuring him politically. Hill says
that none of the facts were with
held from Pugh and that he was
given the whole story of the case
when the warrant was asked for,
two and one-half months ago.
This statement I want to brand
at this time as an absolute false
hood said Hill today, "as furn-
,shed Pugh with the same evidence
two and One-half months ago that
was given the members of the mill
sterial committee at their meeting

Eat that time | also stated to Mr..
! Pugh that the three eye witnesses
Of the shooting were not permitted
to testify at the hearing before

Pugh promised me to investigate

in the effort to secure justice
in the Curry case, I visited the
prosecuting attorneys office three
times, accompanied on each visit
by my wife, the mather of the
wounded bby. On the first visit l
met Mr.. Kizer, chief deputy under
Pugh. who at first tried to make
me believe that the prosecuting at
torney's office did not control the
issuance of warrants. He finally
admitted that the prosecuting at
torney's office seems to be the
whole thing in this respect, and
that I would have to see Mr.. Pugh.
On my second visit, I saw Mr..
Pugh and submitted to him for his
information and investigation the
names of 13 witnesses in the case.
He said that he would make an in
vestigation and asked me to call
again, and added that If he were
not present one of his deputies
would act in his stead. After wait
ing a week, I again learned from
them that Fred c. Pugh had made
no effort to see any of them

time and waited three hours to- see

doing everything possible for the
sick man, wer eunable to help in
this part of the case, SO Wink has
to stay at home. The couny physi-
clan says that he is more than Will
ing to treat the afflicted man, but
he can do nothing for him In his
home.
It's a queer law which prevents
people who pay taxes from being
aided in an hour of need from the
funds which they help to supply, but
it, is the law, and Wink has to suf-
fer because he happens to own a
small bit of property.
If he can sell his little place he
will be entitled to secure aid from
the county, but unless he can DO
this he will have to suffer and per-
haps die, for the doctors say, there
is no hope unless he can be taken
in hand at hospital Immediately.
The moral seems to be: Don't
own property if you ever expect to
get sick or to be out of work."

y. c. HILL HAS
REPLY TO PUGH.

Mr.. Pugh, without being able to
see him. then called on his chief
deputy, Mr.. Kizer, and asked what
had been done in the matter of the
issuance of warrant for Police
man Lee DOwney.s .Kizer replied
that he did not know what had
been done. as it was unfinished
business and I would have to see
Mr.. Pugh. | then told Mr.. Kizer
that Pugh had told me that in his
absence, any of the deputies would
act for him, and insisted on know
ing the reason for all the delay In
this case. Mr.. Kizer said he could
not do anything for me. so left
the office.
"Mr. Pugh asserts that this is a
political move, and in this asser-
ton tried to place the responsible
tiles with R. D. Martin. / wish to
say that | am not interested in pol
ltics one way or the other, but |
would like to see justice done and
the prosecuting attorneys office
cleared of a gang that is an abso-
lutte disgrace to it and the COM
! munity in general"

Take the case of poor old Joe

wife. Gauvette shot the woman
down on the street, in the presence
of witnesses, yet it was necessary
for Prosecutor Pugh to sweat him

days before Gauvette confessed.

one murder trial of any conse-
quence in which it was sought to

case of Paul Clein, for the murder
of the Pole, -Saudawski. Pugh was

HOW FRED PUGH
SECURED MOST OF
HIS CONVICTIONS

There has hardly been a murder
trial In the superior court in the
last two years In which an effort
has not been made to convict the
defendant on his own testimony. In
most of these cases the victims
were ''sweated" into admissions,
taken in the presence of deputy
sheriffs or policemen, on which the
victim was led to the gallows on
his own statements.
Take the Frank Barker case. The
chief testimony against Barker was
his own confession. He was hanged
for the killing of Ira Messenger at
Medical Lake and could have been
convicted probably as well by a
straight trial on the facts as by the
confession plan.
