Conferences With Charles 7. Head.
Had conference with Charles r. Read
Feb. %, in the registration rooms at the
City building. Both stepped into the
room and shortly sat down. Read told
something of conditions that had existed
in Biddeford for some years. Told some
thing of proposition for arranging the
regulation of the liquor business in Bid
deford. Said officers had been cared for,
that witness might have $50 a week if he
would introduce no spoilers, and would
not insist upon Jail sentence, but would
allow the liquor dealers to come INTO
court three times a year and pay a fine.
Witness told him he would think the
matter over. At once told the Judge Of
the Biddeford municipal court of the in
terview
Again saw Charles I. Read at his office
in Biddeferd, on Feb. a. Told him
didn't want to do business with anyone
but the high sheriff, Charles o. Emery

Sheriff Emery. Saw Read again on Feb,
q at office Read described the method
of doing business. Showed a book OF

The testimony of County Attorney
Richardson in the previous hearing in
regard to the conferences with Sheriff
Emery at the home of witness in kenns
bunk Feb. 2S, and at witness office on
March S, was introduced at this point ~
certified form and the witness declared
that he had nothing TO add to that part
of his testimony or nothing to change
in it.
Witness stated that the reason for the
continuance OF the White case from one
term of the supreme court 10 the other
was on account of Carlos c. Hurd. eoun-

in all, OF this number but six We're
sent to jail. The records in the White
case We're read. The original indiet-
ment was shown unsigned by county
attorney or the foreman of the jury.
Former Clerk of Court Emmpns
was quoted by Judge Cleaves as show
ing that the Indictment shown was the
one actually returned by the grand
jury. The Indictment was drawn in
the regular form except for the sig
ntture.
Attorney General Pattangall stated
that he rested his case on the evil
denee in the White case and was
willing to have the other counts
stricken oft of the resolve for an adj
dress.
President Clifford ruled that this
could not he DONE but assured Judge
Cleaves that if no evidence was in
troduced in support of other charges
than that relating to the White case.
the two branches in separate session
would take no eognizance of them
A Sensational Opening.
With that understanding. Attorney
George l.. Emery began his opening
argument when Atty. General Pattan
gai conferred with Judge Cleaves,
who Interrupted Mr.. Emery. just as
the latter had declared that in the
consideration of the case he might
have to raise the shutters and turn
in the light 50 that people might learn
what the matter was in York eouftS.p
This action was unusual and ca lsed
a ripple of excitement in the court
room.
Counsel, when he resumed his ar;5u-
meut, declared that conditions had
become SO intolcrablc in York county
that ii was necessary for self re-
speeting county attorney to take some
action. He stated that Deputy Sheriff
Berry was not re-appointed by Sher-
iii Emery at the solicitation of Charles
II. Reed of the Democratic State com
mittee. He quoted Judge Haley as
saying that saloons We're being OPEN
ed on every side and only some poor
man or some poor woman We're
brought before the court. Investigation
by the county attorney showed that
barber shops were being turned into
well appointed saloons, and that sa-
looms were being opened on every side.
Counsel accused Charles I. Reed OF
being the guiding hand that was be-
hind the liquor situation in York
county. He insisted that Reed said
that the sheriff was getting $50 q
week and that Richardson might get
$50 a week Mr. Richardson insisted
that whatever transaction was made
should he done through the sheriffs
hand Counsel declared that the com
ty attorneys method WAS the only
method that could be resorted To to
secure the evidence Of who was cor
rupt in York county.
In taking up the White matter
counsel eNpldined thai as Cleaves had
paid his fine in the Old Orchard mu-
nicipal court il was thought fair that
Whit should pay his fine in the ST.
preme court. He explained the fact
that the reason why the White indict-
ment went unsigned was OF account
of Il mere inadvertance of the county
attorney and the foreman of the jury.
1t was absolutely certain that the
paper returned by the grand jury was
tie same that had been ON file in the
supreme court.
Attorney Emery closed with gen
eral denial of the charges against his
client made in the resolve.
