JUDGE SCORES
'BRIBE' CASE
DEFENDANT
Lee Woods Convicted
of False Pretense
Charge.
RELATIVES BLED'

Holding the crime for which Lee
Woods was indicted as one that
struck at the very foundations of
society and one that breeds re-
volt" Judge Solon J. Carter Of Su-
perior Court, Room 8, who sat as spe-
cial judge today, found him guilty of
obtaining money on the pretense that
it was to be used to bribe county Off
cials to sign a petition asking for the
parole and pardon OF Clifford Tate,
10, who is serving a sentence on the
Indiana State farm for grand larceny.
DENUNCIATION OF.
COURT SEVERE.
In a bitter denQnciation Of the at
tempts of Woods and 4 man named
Arthur Hill, who was indicted Jointly
with Woods but who now is a fugitive,
to bleed the father, mother and other
relatives Of young Tate Of more than
500 tor the purpose OF bribing officials
TO sign petition asking the State board
Of pardOns to parole Tate, Judge Carter
said:
at Is a most serious offense. The
evidence showed that Woods not only
accepted money under false pretense but
that he was planting seeds of revolt
against institutions of the Government.
There are two theories possible IN this
case. One is that Woods might have
been the tool or the dupe Of Hill. or that
Woods was part and parcel Of the con
spiracy to defraud. My finding Is that
Of guilty. I am sorry that Woods has
dependent children. Woods, by the evil
dence is striking at the very foundation
Of society and degrading the courts and
public officials"
EVIDENCE SHOWED
PAYMENT OF S1SS.
The evidence showed the following es-
sential facts:
That Fuller T. Vanderhoof, S519 East
Twenty Second street, who is the father
in-law Of Clifford Tate. paid Woods a
total of S1SS under representations of
Woods and Hill that they could fix Ger

nominated.
Mr.. Taggart's letter follows:
"J. f. Kinney, Chief Of Police, City:
with the approach of a municipal
campaign there is generally an un-
rest in your department. that Sc
riously affects Its efficiency. Among
the most serious offences against the
efficiency of the department is the
practice of soliciting funds from the
policemen for campaign purposes.
The many new members of the de-
partment vii be undecided as to
what they should do ard we, there
fore, wish you 90 inform all mem
bers of the department that it is not
only unnecessary, but inadvisable to
contribute to any political fund.-

cials that Mr.. Taggarts letter contained
no mention of the conduct of thexrolict
department after the close Of th pres.
