asked hurriedly. to which the alien

to get the thing over as soon as pos

The forty-thrd of the grand jury charges that
the defendants conspred with Samuel Y. Perrott,

sums of money to influence Perrott Chief of Police
to arrest and take into legal custody any of the

Intoxicating liquors legal holidays after the
hours the law provides saloon may remain open.
Such money SO solicited and accepted, it is alleged,
would under tie purpose of the conspiracy, be used
by said conspirators for the purpose of debauching
and corruptng certain general election to be held
November 3, 1914"
The forty-hfth count of the indictment charges the
defendants with conspirng to threaten to
saloonkeepers Of violating the liquor laws with the
intent extort from such sa1oonkeepers certain
of money be used for the purpose OF debauchng the
general election held November 3, 1914.
twill be seen that if the forty-ffth count stands,
saloonkeepers and bartenders sometimes made the
victims of black1nail schemes Of unscrupulous pot
clans. The saloon is not only the convenient rendez
for the ward heller and politician who barriers
in votes but because of it's awess character is often
valuable to the corrupt politician for backma
purposes.
Conviction Of the offenses charged in the ndict
ments carries with it heavy fine and penitentiary
