HE DID NOT KNOW
SAWS WERE THERE

M. 7. Ramey, the attorney who is al
Bailey and Nabers at the county jail,
was arrested yesterday morning at the
courthouse by Warden Ed Newman on
warrant sworn out by Newman. He
was placed in the county jail, but made
bond in few minutes. His bond was set
at $500.
Ramey vigorously denied that he knew
that saws were in the package, but adj
mits that he carried the package to Mr..
Newman He states that some friends of
Bailey gave him the package. and as
they had been in the habit of doing this
he gave the matter no thought, but car
ried the package to Warden Newman. He
made the following statement yesterday:
st was as much surprised as anyone
when saws were found in the package. 1t
was given me by friend of Bailey's
whom 1 decline to name. He asked me
to give the package to him.
II have been in the habit of doing this
as I am Baileys attorney. l took the
package to Warden Newman and had
no objection to having him open it. l
have never objected to his doing SO.
1.-THE charge that l deliberately tried
to pass the saws in to him is absurd, as
have the attorneys privilege of seeing
my clients In their cells and had I de-
sired to give him the saws / could have
concealed them on my person and given
them to him direct"
