of the office the whole system
wreaked with fraud and corrup-
ton, and yet it was not believed
that Warner himself had any
thing to do with the corruption
or knew anything about it. I'm
der Warner some extensive sew
er contracts were let and while
digging a large sewer along First
avenue someone cut the measur-
ing stick, which meant whole
sale robbery of the sewer fund,
but it was discovered in time to
remedy the deception and cause
the city no mishap. The ques-
tion then arose, who cut the
stick? And to this day it is a
mystery among those close to that
administration as to who did turn
that scaly trick. Mayor Ronald
took the bull by the horns and
removed the board of public
works that discharged Thomson
and elected Warner and the new
board Immediately put Thomson
back on the job and he has been
on it ever since. That he has
fashioned and finished to an ex-
tent one of the most beautiful
cities in the Northwest is the re-
port of the entire travelling pub
lie. There is no doubt but that if
he had a desire to make money
for himself out of his official pos
ition he could now be a multi
millionaire, yes richer by far
than Jacob Furth himself, and
he may be so far as this paper
knows, but if he is he keeps his
holdings we'll in the dark and
they can not be of much service
to him. The enemies of Thom-
son say he is one of the most
thorough civil engineers in the
whole country and knows more
about the details of the city of
Seattle than the whole official

C, T. CoNovER is not D. c..
Conver and the Seattle Repub-
lican has been informed of the
mistake it made in publishing
the name of G. T. Conover and
referring to the person of D. G.
Conover. 1t was a surprise to
learn that D. C. Conover, the Sc
attic attorney had developed into
a magazine writer, but it was
more when it developed that G.
7. Conover, the real estate man
of Seattle, had razzled dazled the
public into the belief that he had
written the article in Leslie's
Weekly under the caption of The
Nations Crime To Alas a.
G. T. Conover or some hired
man seems to have sold real es-
tate to an advantage from his
offices which has made him qnite
wealthy, but the presumption
that he could write any kind of a
letter. much less a magazine art
icle, is even more ridiculous than
the presumption that D. C. Con-
over had written it.

In the first trial of the Wap-
penstein case, Ed. Been told a
strong story which took the pro-
'secution by surprise and it was
unable to either refute it or in
any way impeach him, but by the
time the second trial came on,
inpeaching evidence had been ga
thered and introduced and to day
it is the consensus of opinion that
Been is in as bad a predictament
as Wappenstein himself. 1t was
argued by those who had heard
Been's evidence in the case that
the strange thing of it was that
his father did not appear at the
trial and coroborate his sons
testimony, and, if he had it is
further argued. Wappenstein
would never have been convicted.

ated that certain members Of the
city council were in colusion with
the contractors, yet he never be-
fore openly accused Mr.. Thomson
of being mixed up in the dirty
work. If later developments
have been of a nature that Mr..
Goddard is throughly convinced
that Mr.. Thomson is mixed up
in the regrade graft then Mr..
Thomson should net only be fore
ed out of the employe of the city.
but the facts should be laid be-
fore the grand jury, which is
now in session, and is ready and
willing to look into the regrade
frauds if there be any. 1t is the
opinion of the editor of the Sc
attic Republican that Councilman
Goddard is absolutely honest and
just and would not make a sland-
erous accusation against a follow
man without believing that he
knew what he was talking about.
On the other hand we have
found Reginald H. Thomson to
be one of the squarest men with
whom we have had any dealings
and we have as much confidence
in his honesty of purpose as we
have in any other man in the
world and for that reason, it will
take evidence to convince us that
Thomson is rotten so far as his
public career is concerned. But
as said above the grand jury is
at the disposal of any reliable in
former, and if Goddard has any
tangible evidence it is as willing
to indict Mr.. Thomson for NAL
feasance in office as it was to in
dict Wappenstein, and so let the
public have the benefit of the
whole story and it matters not
who gets caught by the expose.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-07-07

The grand jury, which indicted
Wappenstein and others in con-
nection with the late Gill admin
istration, and which took a recess
until after the Fourth, is again
grinding away, and it is current
ly rumored that, it will give the
public a sensation in the very
near future, that it had never
dreamed of. Already Ed. Been,
brother in law cf Wappenstein,
has been before the body and SO
has Day, the Portland detective,
and it is rumored that, they too
may become entangled III the
meshes of the laws of the state
for perjury.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-07-07

The Times which almost tore
it's hair because Judge Main
heard the first Wappenstein trial
aud contended until a change was
granted and even after the case
had been assigned to Judge Ron
aid that Wappenstein would get
a square deal, came out the next
day after the conviction with the
statement that, the trial before
Judge Ronald was only the pre-
liminary for the appearance
of the case in the supreme court,
thus demonstrating that, it was
deeply chagrined at the verdict
of the jury. 1t is we'll that the
editor of the Times looks with
suspicion on the verdict of the
jury in the Wappenstein case, for
it may mean his own conviction,
when he is put on trial for being
a part of the same game as Wap-
penstein has just been found
guilty of.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-07-07

Charles w. Wappenstein, who
was convicted the evening of the
third was given a bitter draught
for the Fourth, which vas a sad
disappointment to both himself
and his friends. His attorneys
argued that Judge Main was pre-
JUDGED and that if given change
before another judge they would
be sure of acquittal. A few
days ago when the first jury that
tried Wappenstein and disagreed,
it was the first blood for Wappy,
and the public had almost coDclu,
ded that it meant absolute defeat
for the state. In the meantime
however the states star witness
was driven out of Portland by
the local detectives as an un-
desirable person and the defense
made much of it and had the de-
tective of Portland to come to Sc
attic to testify in the Wappen7
stein case. He however made a
witness and it was general COM
ment on the streets after he had
testified, that he had done more
harm than good. Rumor has
been flying about the streets all
the week since the conviction of
Wappenstein that he would give
up the whole story if consider
alton was shown him, but in the
face Of this his attorneys think
they can have the verdict revers-
ed in the supreme court. He
will be tried for similar offences
early in Septemper.

FRANK B. WRESTLING. who
was recently disbarred by the SUI
perior court of Seattle, declares
he is making more money in his
collection business, which he
is building up. than he did as an
attorney, and that is saying quite
a good deal, all of which but
completely demonstrates that
there are too many attorneys in
Seattle and some kind of a
process should be introduced to
weed them out.

jim WILSON has been named
by Gov. Hay as superintendent of
the soldiers homeat PIT. Orchard.
Jim Wilson has been a contend
ing factor in the politics of the
state and county for the past
twenty years and all because he
wanted big job and the other
fellow did not seem inclined to
give it to him. On general prin-
ciples he is a pessimist and it is
here predicted that his admins
tration at the home will be short
lived.

Chas. w. Wappenstein Convicted.

Prosecuting attorney Murphy
is by odds the happiest man in
all Seattle just now, and all be-
cause he whipped the heretofore
invincible Morris at his own
game, and makes no bones in
saying that he will now convict
Wappenstein on all the indict-
ments. " I know nothing of the
story published, to the effect
that Wappenstein is willing to
peach if promised mercy at the
hands of the prosecution, but /
do know Col Blethen was one of
the early and anxious callers at
Morris office after the story ap-
peared in the morning paper,'
said Mr.. Murphy one day this
week.

Councilman Goddard may be
absolutely correct in his conten-
tions against City Engineer
Thomson, as being responsible
for the wholesale graft that Mr..
Goddard and others who have
looked into the letting of the hun
dred and one regrade contracts
in Seattle. declare have been
practiced, but he will have to go
some before the public will be-
lieve that Thompson has profited
by those contracts or that he
knowingly permitted any one else
to profit by them at the expense
of the tax payers. While Mr..
Goddard has for the past two
years or more stoutly contended
that the city was being robbed by
the contractors, who were CIV
ing regrade contracts, and even
went a step further and intim-

l-e7sember of the city of Seattle
Council, who for three years,
while a member of the old Coun-
Gil, made a relentless war on the
grading extravigance in the City,
by advocating that the City lay
out district in which a cut is
necessary and at the same time
one in which a fill should be
made. He was selected under
the new Charter more on account
of his persistent fight along this
line than for any other reason.
In organizing the Council he was
put at the head of the street de-
partment and in that capacity he
has been perfecting his plans un-
till now he has them ready for
action and he has cut and fill
district laid out and the same sub
mitted to the Council for it's ap-
proval, which if passed, will save
to the City at least fifty per cent
over what the same work would
have cost under the old system.
He is deserving of the everlasting
commentator of the taxpayers
for his efforts to save them from
the useless expenditure of their
money.
