The certificate of the clerk as
above shows Woods lacks 752
names of sufficient for the recall
and Roys S94. Lawson and Free
land each have sufficient names
accepted to put them up against
it.
1t appears that the recall COM
mittee had employed Leo Hart
nett to handle the commissioner
petitions when Hartnett had fin
ished working on the Fawcett pc
tition. The recall committee did
not have anything to do with the
Fawcett petition.
Rowland and Drury discovered
that Mr.. Hartnett had certified to
the petitions against Mr.. Roys and
Woods but had not signed them
to make them valid. He certi-
fed to the Freeland and Lawson
petitions and had signed them,
thus making them valid.
The forgeries on the Roys petit
tions and the mutilation of ad-
dresses showing the extent of the
crooked work to save Roys were
astounding to Drury and Rowland.
The crooked work was confined
to the Roys petitions, according
to Councilman Freeland, who was
one of the investigating commit
tee. "We found great numbers OF
the signers on the Roys petition
that had been doctored and made
void by forgeries and mutilations,
but we found none on any OF the
other petitions" said FreeIand.
Shows Crookedness.
All of the petitions had many
whole sheets thrown out because
of the technical failure of the pc
titioner who certified to it in sign
ing it himself.
This Is where the large number
of signatures were Topped off the
Freeland, Lawson and Woods pc
titions. But on the Roys petition
in addition to these came the food
of names that had been doctored.
On the face of the figures the
crookedness may be seen.
Lawson had 4,O28 names on his
petition and only $40 were thrown
out.
Freeland had 3,937 on his peti-
tion and only 73S were thrown
out.
Woods had 1880 on his petition
and had 552 thrown out.
But on Roys, who had only
3, 1890 ON his petition, 1851 were
thrown ont.
These signatures were all Sc
cured together. Every man that
took out a petition took all four
of them and most men signed all
four. Under these conditions the
fact that 1861 were thrown out
of Roys' $500 and only 73S out
of Freelands' 1897, on the face
of it shows something wrong, II
the facts of forged and mutilated
addresses did not stand there to
show the crooked work in itself
on the Roys petition.
Drury and Rowland got more
determined to make the Roys pc
tition sufficient the further they
got into it this morning. The
open forgery that showed on
scores of names rejected was such
that the exposures in the Times
seemed very mild and conserva-
tive to them.
The result of the crooked work
ing has already stirred the think
ling people of Tacoma as nothing
ever stirred them before. Even
though Mr.. Roys had personally
nothing to do with an effort to
save him, no man can benefit by
shady work done in his behalf.

FINAL BLOW TO
B0OTLfCCFRS
Jury Finds W.T.. Bufgy Guilty
of Selling Liquor.
WILL PROBABLY APPEAL CASE TO
SUPREME COURT.
Case Has Attracted Widespread Inter-
est in State-Question of Interstate
Law Involved.

w. F. Burgy of the firm of Burgy
& Green, was Wednesday found guilty
by jury in the district court of SELL
ing Intoxicating liquors contrary to
the local option law Mr.. Burgy has
not been sentenced and it is under
stood that the case will be appealed to
the supreme court of the state.
This case has attracted widespread
interest in the state as the firm has
been doing an Interstate business,
taking orders for the liquor in this
city and sending the orders to be filled
at Twin Springs, just across the Ne
vada line. This is the second time
Mr.. Burgy has been up on this charge.
At the first trial he was acquitted by
| the jury. 1t is understood that the
| jury in this case was only out but
short time when they agreed upon
their verdict, that of guilty as stated
above. The county attorney, A. r.
Hicks, with Attorney A. M. Bowen, is
meeting with splendid success with
the liquor law violators, not one hay
ing escaped the clutches of the law so
far this term of court. The case was
not a test of the operation under in
ter-state commerce, owing to the fact
that the state attempted to prove that
the liquor did not go from one state
into another but was handed out to
the detectives with no delay, thus elm
mating a chance for the usual inter-
state transportation to have any
weight

"You may be seated"


AS relieved as anyone could be with
a life sentence confronting him, the
prisoner sat down beside his brother.
The big man arose and the little
brother received him affectionately.
John j. Is Sentenced.
After the court had read the indict-
ments charging that he had pleaded
guilty of having caused the destruc-
ton of the Llewellyn Iron Works in
this city, the district attorney began
brief statement and James B. whis-
pered to John that he could sit down
while the district attorney talked. The
man about to be sentenced was plainly
moved by what the court had said to
his younger brother. From across
the room ray of sunlight streaked
and sparkled against the tears in his
eyes.
There were no lives lost in this
case" remarked District Attorney
Fredericks, land while the destruction
of property was considerable, it was
not great"
He cited the custom of leniency
where a defendant pleaded guilty and
continued:
Asks for Consideration.
"The extreme penalty which the law
could inflict for this offense would be
life imprisonment, and all | would sug-
gest in that connection would be that
! the court take into consideration, the
probable life remaining to this defend
ant, and leave him, at the end of his
term, a few hours of freedom not as
matter of mercy, not as matter Of
consideration, not as matter thai
| he has earned or is entitled to, bu
because it is a wise policy of the
state, when man surrenders him
self, gives up and pleads guilty, ant
because of other services rendered tt
the state, that some small considera
tion-not much but some-should b.
extended"
The defendant arose again.
