SAYS
PECK MADE
BAD BARGAINS
Claims Agreement With Citizens
OF HOIIisteT Heights To
Draw Deeds Free

State Attorney Stiles Judson today
made the following statement regard
ing the recent caucus of the Republi-
can party in Stratford:
''In the caucus in Stratford the 9TH
er evening, Notwithstanding my plain
statement of the criminal acts Of Peck,
he received {. vote of ST, and ] have
heard that Bridgeport people have ex-
pressed surprise that the citizens OF
the old town IN such mum bers would
Evote for him after such exposure. I
wish to correct that impression, in
justice to my fellow townsmen in the
village. Not one of them cast a vote
for Peck, but all Of these votes were
cast by citizens from Hollister Heights.
and their votes were based upon the
following reason, which I shall out
line.
when Peck was a candidate for
judge of probate a year ago, among
other crimes committed, he made a
bargain with the saloon keepers to
send over their supporters, and he
would trial justice protect them
when they were arrested and brought
before him for trial, which he at
tempted to make good. had, through
the state police, apprehended motor
ious law breakers, StaVola, in the
swamp, caught with his place full of
frequenters thirty minutes after the
hour of closing. This man knew that
it was safe to plead guilty, did so, and
was fined only SO instead of 500 as
he should have been fined, and was
given a certificate to save his license.
'@This practice would have gone on
under his corrupt bargain with the
saloon keepers, except for the fact
that I then ordered the state police
never to bring any case before him as
a Justice of the peace. At the same
time, he made the following bargain
with resident citizens of Hollister
Heights, which I learned of after the
election was over, namely: That if
they would come over to his support,
he would draw all of their wills and
deeds, and without compensation and
for indefinite period of time, and
he has lived up to that agreement.
'"The men who came to the caucus
were not voting for him because of
any worth on his part, but because he
is performing that service for them
under that bargain. This agreement
is states prison offense, in violation
tees Act, in securing votes based up
on such a promise.
"I think the men in Hol1ister
Heights are morally innocent, for they
probably did not know it was a crime.
Peck as a. lawyer of course knew 1t
was. He has within two years COM
mitted four states prison offenses.
my sole purpose is making this
statement is to abso1ve my fellow
townsInen in the old town from the
unjust impression that they cast one
single vote for this criminal

Violation Of Law On Part Of
Its Members

Meriden, Conn, Sept. 16-"The pub

unfair statements emanating from
those who would destroy our business.
Never have they given US the credit,

The above was one of the striking
utterances made today before the

Continuing along this line, Presi-
dent Quinn said: ''The facts are, gen

the officers whom you have placed in

years worked consistently in behalf of

Or will we claim that to which we
are justly entitled?
