LIQUOR TRIAL AT NORTH ADAMS
Lawyer Niles and Police Chief Dineen
In Lively Tilt

North Adams, Aug. 26.-Politics, the
influence and prejudice of the police
and OF politicians, were injected into
the opening day of the trial in the
district court yesterday of j. A. Rosi,
a liquor dealer charged by the COM
monwealth with violating the license
laws from May l to August 10. Attor-
ney Clarence p. Niles of the firm Of
Niles. Lewis & Drysdale of North Ad-
ans and Pittsfield and Patrick j. Ashe
appeared for the defendant, while City
Solicitor Mark K. Couch represented
the commonwealth. The common
wealth had practically finished its
case when court adjourned yesterday
afternoon after an all-day session and
the case was put over on continuance
TO Monday morning. Chief of Police
w. f. Dineen, who was the principal
witness, had several lively tits with
Attorney Niles, and when Mr. Niles
asked him il he had not stationed an
officer in the former saloon of Morris
sey & Casey, an old firm In the bust
ness in North Adams, who were den
led license this year by the license
commissioners, for the purpose OF
watching the saloon business of Rosi,
the chief gave Mr. Niles the lie and
said. 'lf any one does wrong ] will
punish him, whether 1t be Morrissey
& Casey or any one else" Mr.. Niles
replied that he was not lying and con
tinued his cross examination.
| During the afternoon session sever
al of the officers of the department
| were called to the stand and all ad-
mitted on cross examination that they
had not been eye-witnesses to any H.
legal sales at the Rosi saloon. Sever
al attempts of the attorney for the
defense to inject references to other
saloons and the attitude of the author
tiles toward them were ruled out by
the court, who held that Rosi was Oh
trial and that his case alone was tC
be heard Officer Patrick Walsh upoT
whose testimony revolyed the entire
case, testified during the Afternoon
session that he knew nothing OF the
illegal sale originally until one o.
Neil stopped him on Main street OF
the 9th after legal closing hours tina
illegal sales of liquor were being mad,
at Rosi's saloon. The officer sale
that he went there with O'Neil ant
saw O'Neil pass in q dollar and re
lceiye in exchange a bottle Of whisk!
and the change. He said the bartend
err who made the deal was named Bro
derrick and the officer testified tina
lO'Neil made the remark as he receiy
ed the bottle and the change in tn
lpresence of the officer: I've got you
Iyou devil" This. 1t developed. wa
caused by the claim that the self-aI
pointed stool pigeon claimed that h
had been robbed of $40 in the salool
some time before.

Chances

Columbus. Ohio, Aug. 25.-The state

and the close OF court on September
9 there will be plenty Of opportunity
for Rodney ]. Diegel, Sergeant at
Arms OF the Senate, to change his
mind concerning his part and the part
OF number Of state senators In the
bribery scandal.
He is constantly surrounded by In.
dicted legislators and their attorneys
and II Is believed that had he been
away from their influence, his confes.
sion would be forthcoming. His talk
and actions today give the impression
that he wants to confess. but is held
back by certain influences. There
are strong hints that Dlegel has been
promised n large sum OF money for
HIS silence. and is wavering between
this temptation and his freedom
from the penitentlary.

ROOSEVELT OUT OF RACE
In Emphatic Terms, Declares He Will
Not Be a Candidate.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 23.-Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt will not be candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president in 1912.
All the planning of the Roosevelt
admirers on the one hand and the en-
emies of President Taft on the other
will be of no avail, as the ex-president
has firmly set his foot down on all
movements to have him head the ma
tional republican ticket in the next
campaign.
Alexander P. Moore, editor of the
Pittsburg Leader, an enthusiastic
friend and supporter of Col Roosevelt,
recently wrote letter to the express
ident regarding the proposal to have
him again head the republican ticket.
Editor Moore, on the return of Col.
Roosevelt from his African trip, led a
great gathering of Pittsburg admirers
of the mighty hunter to New York,
where they greeted the colonel at the
pier. Mr.. Roosevelt also made short
visit to Pittsburg afterward on one of
his trips, at the invitation of Mr..
Moore, so that the Pittsburg editor is
close enough to Mr.. Roosevelt to as
certain his wishes.
The Leader editor has received the
, following letter:
"The Outlook, 2S7 Fortieth avenue,
New York-Office of Theodore Roose-
welt, Aug. 1S.-My Dear Mr.. Moore: I
very greatly appreciate your kind and
friendly feeling, but am sure you will
understand me when l say that / must
ask not only you but every friend
have to see to it that no movement
whatever is made to bring me forward
for nomination in 1912. ta
81 feel that l have a right to ask al
my friends, If necessary, actively tc
work to prevent any such movement
L should esteem 1t genuine calamity
II such a movement were undertaken
again thanking you for what you
have said. and moreover thanking you
in advance for following my wishes II
this matter, as l know you will do,
am very sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
