ACCUSE

Because he said he could prove
that the Tacoma police were using
married women as Especial de-
tectives" for obtaining liquor evil
dence, and that these women, un-
der the eyes of the police, were
committing gross indiscretions in
company with male detectives"
Attorney James F. O'Brien de-
manded a continuance Tuesday
afternoon in the police court trials
of Martin Lucas and Joe MyeA
soft drink parlor proprietors,
charged with selling booze.
O'Brien had defended Charles
LeMaster, employe Of the Ham,
nam baths, and had attempted to
force two men and one woman
detective" to admit improper re-
lations during the trial. They re-
fused to answer his questions.
Your honor, l thought these
stool pigeons would be honest
enough to admit the truth about
their personal lives" declared
O'Brien, after LeMaster had been
fined 500 for having booze in
his possession.
Continuance Granted.
II can prove everything that 1
have charged. l want to show
that the testimony of these per-
sons is not worth listening to be-
cause of their immoral conduct.
/ will prove ii IL you give me a
continuance in these other cases."
The continuance was granted.
The city's "policewoman" wit
name as "Helen Smith," but on
cross-examination admitted that
she was Mrs. Frank Carrico. I'm
der O'Brien's pointed questions
she admitted that she was doing
special police work in company
with Mrs. Dyke, another married
woman of Tacoma, and two spe-
cial officers, Roy Guyton and
Charles Burke.
In making a plea for a dismissal
of the case against LeMaster, who
was charged by Mrs. Carrico and
Guyton with having sold them
drinks at the bath house, O'Brien
assailed what he called the Ia
coma stool pigeon" system, Bit
terly.
Your honor, there should be
halt to this kind of evidence"
he declared.
Attacks Detectives.
"The police are hiring persons
of shady regulations to get evil
dence, and these persons make it
their business to get evidence,
whether true or not. The char
acter of these persons today is
such that no court should listen
to them.
II am as much opposed to the
illegal sale of liquor as anyone.
But l want to see the law en-
forced honestly, and not by such
persons as these"
Judge Evans, in his decision,
announced that he was prepared
to believe only half of the social
ed stool pigeons employed by the
police, but declared that in the
present case he believed the de-
PENDANT guilty.
O'Brien promised to bring proof
of the immortality OF the police
women and special officers when
the Lucas and Myer cases are
tried next week. These two men
operate the Subway bar, 18th and
Pacific, a soft drink resort.

by the Republican and Progressive
conventions at 12:49 and 12:47 o'clock
Saturday, respectively, the Roosevelt
nomination beating the Hughes nomi'

Charles Warren Fairbanks OF Indiana

sive. The Hughes nomination was
made on the third ballot of the con-
vention, the Roosevelt nomination by
reclamation.
Colonel Roosevelt sent a tentative
declination of the nomination. with
the understanding that it was to stand
if Hughes turned out to be sound on
the issues of Americanism and pre-
paredness, and that If Hughes turned
out to be pactif1stic, pussy-footed, or
pro-German he would accept and
make the race as the Progressive can
