OWEN AND PROHIBITION

The Ardmorelte, some days ago,
warned people of this section Of
last minute SANDERS against candi-
dates. We felt sure that cleverly
manipulated tales would be spread
sn an effort to boost the failing
fortunes Of an also-ran.
True to form, the ISLANDERS start.
Sunday a number of citizens here
received anaymous letters contain
ing a record of cases dismissed
during the time Judge Thos. Owen,
candidate for governor, was county
attorney of Muskogee county. The
fact that the letters were anano-
nous should make them repulsive
TO courageous men who detest any
thing as underhand as that, but
whether repulsive or not they are
entirely wide OF the mark they in
tend TO hit.
Those letters would portray Judge
Thos. Owen as a friend of the
bootlegger. Nothing could be fur
Their removed from the truth.
Judge Owen, while county at
torney did dismiss a number Of
whiskey cases, just as any other
county attorney has done-and he
did dismiss a number Of them
shortly before he went out of Of
flee. However, those dismissed were
cases that either had been handled
in another name or were unsub-
s~tantiated, according to Archibald
Bond, former Federal Prosecutor
for the Eeastern district.
Judge Owen himself explains to
the satisfaction Of any fair minded
man that my practice was TO file
a charge against the man whom l
had reason to believe owned a joint
and a separate charge against every
individual who was employed in or
about the Joint and use as witnesses
against the owner all the persons
who were connected with the Joint
as employees, and then dismiss the
case. against the employees. My

BAD EVIDENCE
AGAINST KING
AND INGALLS,
Drove Car at Excessive
Rate of Speed Say
Witnesses

SHERBROOKE, P. O., Sept %
After the proof of damaging
evidence against Homer C. In
gals and Lewis F. King OF
Fassumpsic, VT, who are being
tried for manslaughter in connec-
tion with the death of Patrick
Shevlin of Berlin, Magistrate S
Court was adjourned Friday after
noon in anticipation of continu-
ance of the case by the Crown on
next Thursday. The case for
which the Passumpsic men are be-
ing tried grew out of the fatal ac-
cident which occurred not far
from Stanstead on the evening of
W ednesday, August 30
Witnesses testified that the
Franklin car in which Messrs.
King and Lewis were riding was
travelling at an excessive rate of
speed. Eye witnesses further as
serted that it pursued a crazy, zig
tagging course.
During the examination of inn
portant witnesses it was shown
that at the time the Franklin car
left Sherbrooke, Ingalls, was at
the wheel. At the time the acci-
dent occurred it was testified that
King was plotting the automobile.
The question Of the alleged in
toXication of the passengers of tho
Franklin car occupied the atten-
tion of the court for some time,
and it was finally proven that ex-
animation of the machine, soon
after the accident, disclosed two
bottles of Intoxicating beverage.
One bottle, from which the men
had evidently been drinking, was
half filled with a grade of cheap
brandy, while the other bottle lay
il the tonneau of the machine
sealed and unbroken.
In further Substantiation of the
theory that Mcssrs. King and In
gals were under the influence of
Intoxicating liquor, bystanders af-
ter the fatality, stated positively
that d strong odor of liquor eman-
ated from the persons of these
men now under trial for man
slaughter.
Immediately after the smash-up,
witnesses aIlege, Ingalls, went to a
neighboring house and fell fast
asleep and it was only by the
greatest of difficulty that he was
aroused. On next Thuroday the
Crown will continue the exan'in-
alton of additional witnesses.

that whatever steps the govern

two supreme considerations: First
our anxiety as to the freedom of
the seas between the Mediterran-
can and the Black sea, and second
TO prevent this exceptionally
prodical war from spreading into
Europe. The premier pointed out
that a few weeks ago the Greeks
threatened to march on Constant
