SURELY IT'S DRY.
More Liquor Prosecutions Here
Than Ever Before.
In Eleven Months County Has
Brought 1O5 Cases.
A SOURCE OF INCOME.
Makes County Attorneys Office
Decidedly Profitable.
Law Offers Many Opportunities
to Supplement Salary.
No. cases.

From the record of liquor prosccu-
tion in Shawnee county any one OF
several conclusions may be drawn.
Either former county attorneys have
been derelict of duty, recent officials
and the present administration have
been overzealous or advantage has
been taken of an opportunity to legal
1y capitalize the liquor industry in
Shawnee county for personal gain.
In view of thousands of statements
circulated to the effect that Topeka
and Shawnee county is dry it is
almost startling to read that twice the
number of liquor prosecutions were
brought in eleven months than were
brought in any previous year in an
honest endeavor to keep down the lid.
1t is a peculiar fact that in 1906
when Topeka was really purged-that
but SIS state prosecutions were needed,
when the records today show that l05
were considered necessary in the hours
Of a pronounced "drOuth.
The records printed above are for
all state cases brought since January
/, 1901. against alleged shawnee coun-
ty jointists. In none Of the years does
the record include cases appealed
from the city courts.
In the past IL years Shawnee county
has elected to the office of county at
torney some men who have stood high
IN the anu III IlAti4 ~ Ol6S~
sion. On several occasions in the
years covered in this record. men we're
elected to Office on a strictly law en-
forcement platform and with avowed
promises to enforce the prohibitory
law Yet the records show a situation
that Is hard to fathom.
III the four yaslrs from Jsstf.@rE .
1901, to January IDS. there were
but 43 state cases filed against viola
tors of the prohibitory law In Shaw
nee county. Compare this record with
thai Of nearly three times as many
prosecutions IN the short space Of II
months.
At the time Of the limited prosecu-
ton Topeka was considered a wide
open TOW n. It was IN the days of old
Copeland county and in score Of
places beer and whisky were sold over
the counter and prosperous proprie-
tors installed expensive bar room fix

Whites Story.
c. z. White, who with Lockwood,
was present when Franklin was ar
rested told a story in which he said
Franklin came to him and asked him
to be a stake holder of $500 to be
paid Lockwood at the end of the
trial. When they met Lockwood. he
declared $500 was passed, the $500
was held back and at that moment all
three men We're arrested. Lockwood
himself was the second witness. His
story corroborated Whites testimony
White testified that Franklin came
to him one day and related that the
prosecution in the Mcnamara case
was using thousands of dollars to Sc
cure a conviction and that he, as an
employee of the defense, was going to
use the same tactics. White declared
that Franklin said:
There is an old friend of ours on
the panel have had long talks with
him and convinced him that the Nc
Namaras were innocent, and I have
told him a few thousand dollars would
come in handy"
I'VE already have two accepted
jurors with u.s." declared Franklin, ac-
cording to Whites testimony.
When apDrised of the testimony in
the Franklin hearing Attorney Clarence
s. Darrow said:
whatever Franklin and Lockwood
says. 1 know nothing at all about it.
I had nothing to do with getting to-
any jurors in any way Through nego-
tiations the case had been practically
decided for a week and I certainly would
not have spent money that way at such
a time. even had [ been so inclined"
