FURNITURE CLUB
HAD MANY MEMBERS
Hirsh Testified that About $50 Brattle-
boro Persons Were Enrolled-Lot-
terry Hearing Concluded.

The case of the state against n.
Hirsh of Boston, charged with aiding
in promoting a lottery, which was be-
gun in the municipal court Monday af-
ternoon, was concluded late yesterday
afternoon with the exception of fling
briefs by counsel After that has been
done Tuesday Judge Frank z. Barber
will give his decision.
The afternoon yesterday was taken
up by the defense. Max Goldman, the
principal proprietor and general man
ager, was the first witness. He denied
that there were any drawings as
claimed by the state. He said that
the method of selection of a member of
the club TO receive a premium was 10
have the canvasser or agent write him
a letter naming some member Of the
club who had been of special service
to the collector. He said that if he
found the reasons given by the agent
sufficient he awarded a premium.
There was introduced one letter
written TO him by Hirsh after Hirsh
was first arrested in Bellows Falls
This recommended that a certain Brat
tleboro member of the club be awarded
a premium.
| He testified that there were about
| $50 members in the Brattleboro club.
L
vice any of those who had received
premiums had rendered. He had list
of II local residents who had received
premiums, only three of whom had re-
eeiyed them since Hirsh became con-
nected with the business in January.
| Mr.. Hirsh was the last witness. He
said that he used his discretion in Sc
lecting the person to be awarded a
premium. Mrs. Sam Ear, Mrs. L. E
Stafford and Mrs. Carl Harrington
had been the recipients since he had
been collector. Mrs. Stafford had Sc
lcured three customers for him.
Mrs. Ears daughter had helped him
to keep in the club three customers
who showed signs of dropping out and
he considered Mr.. Ear one of the in
fiuential men of Brattleboro. Mrs.
Harrington had given him the names Of
three prospective customers.
Hirsh denied that he had told any
one that the awards were made as the
lresult of drawings in Boston or else
where. He gave as a reason for hav-
ling recommended that premium be
given to W. o. Fullam Of Bellows
Falls, who had been a witness in this
ease, that he worked in store with a
Mr.. Adams who was letting his con
tract lapse and he was young mar
ried man and needed furniture.
He said that he had the names of
139 residents of Brattleboro who are
members of the club, but when asked
for the cards with those names on
them declined to furnish them and
handed them to one of his attorneys
The matter was not pressed by the
state. This ended the hearing.
