Does Chew Belong to the Ananias
CIUb

Thomas T.. Parks, a delegate i'm the
recent legislature from Baltimore city,
Saturday, was acquitted Of a charge
of attempted bribery brought by Cal
vim R. Chew, delegate from Carroll
county, at Annapolis.
Chew told circumstantial story OF
twice being offered money by Parks to
vote against the local option bill.
Parks was then called and after he
had testified in the most positive
manner that he had never offered any
bride to Chew, States Attorney Green
stated to the jury that he would not
ask for verdict of guilty, inasmuch
as the case rested on Chew's unsup-
ported testimony
The States Attorney was careful
to explain that he did not mean to say
that he disbelieved the statements Of
Chew, but he felt it would be dang
erous to convict of any offense UPON
the unsupported testimony Of one per-
son where his statements were fatty
contradicted by the accused.
