that the government is required TO plead

cannot take out a few paragraphs here

"Should not be paid"

SO declares the Martinsburg World,
referring TO the claim of Detective Bid
dinger, who succeeded in trapping seven
or eight bride = seeking West Virginia
legislators, and whose fees have beer
held up al Charleston by State officials
There is considerable number of West
Virginia politicians TO whom Detective
Biddinger'S success is exceedingly dis
tasteful, probably for very personal rea-
sons. Evidence OF this was shown in
the desperate effort of some of the afore-
said politicians to abolish the courts
wherein lay the danger of indictment and
the working of various schemes TO OBJ
struct justice and prevent investigation
and trial. Failing in the attempt to pro-
tect the guilty and those under suspicion,
there is now plan to prevent further
testimony by refusing to pay the fees and
expenses OF the detectives who rendered
such effective service.
The World doubtless has good reason
for opposing the payment of the claim
referred to, but we take very different
view of the matter. Pay what is due and
what may be hereafter necessary, is our
advice.
