G|LL'S TRIAL WILL
 DRAW BIG CROWD

erted to kill off Gill and powerful interests are backing the prosecu- tion ever since. Gill's statement in regard to-the Everett riots. Over one hundred witnesses will be called and the hearing will consume many weeks.
 Patrolman Mullen pleaded guilty to intimidating witness Decker. He said that Rockingham promised him five hundred dollars and police Sergeant's job if he could induce Billingsley to leave the city.
 The best side of the Gill defense is the high standing which Billings ley the notorious criminal now en- joys by reason of his volunteering testimony to get Gill and Becking- ham. All the blind piggers who suffered at Gill's hands are gloating over the prospects of railroading him on graft charges and bets are freely made that this will be done.
 Papers have been cheerfully try ing to work up a sentiment which would make the Gill conviction be more easy. In this they have only partially succeeded, but they are still at it.

Technically it is stated to be the official work of Grigsby, but the board having asked and then refused to abide by his legal advice, it is impossible to obtain his assist ance.

them. Accordingly, in the spirit of an
enlightened public enterprise, nine
men agreed to marry them, and on the
aforementioned date all Of them be-
came wives, an elaborate ceremony
and much rejoicing signalling the
event.
