dence. Manlove stated that the sher-
iff had said he was there to give pro-
lection, and that Carey was a double
crosser' and would bear watching.
The witness also told of advances
made to his wife by the sheriff. and
dramatically declared that the latter
had made an apology cor he would
not be sitting there today"
Upon cross-examination, DIR. Man
love stated that Loomis had called at
his house before the murder of "Scot-
ty" Sherrin. He denied that he had
gone to see Loomis and had told him
that if he, Loomis, did not tell him
the name of the stool-pigeon who
watched his house he would ruin him
since he was the republican leader in
Park County. He admitted that he
called E. H. Ellis, of Greybull, on the
telephone and told him in substance
to "Come on over as we have the
goods on Loomis and can get Carey
out of jail" but stated that he had
called Mr.. Ellis at the request of At
torneys Greever and Simpson. The
witness acknowledged hat he had said
to Gertrude Brown, a waitress,
"We've got the goods on Loomis and
he's on his way TO Rawlins."
DIR. Manlove was followed by Fay
Williford, of Casper, tall, blonde and
slightly bald, who took the witness
chair without embarrassment and told
his story readily, secure in the feeling
that he had been promised immunity.
Williford's evidence was reminiscent
Of the publication entitled, "Confes-
sions of n Bootlegger," and once he
started he gave up what is known To-
cally as his "in'ards," duplicating foes
and friends impartially.
Williford stated that he had met
Sheriff Loomis in Casper when the
latter was taking two persons to the
asylum, that the latter was intoxicat-
ed at the time and had endeavored to
purchase liquor in n drug store. With
one Mr.. Robbins, who figured in his
story, they had made up n party and
gone TO the Texas hotel ut Evans
vile near Casper. They had pur-
chased moonshine en- route to cheer
them on their way. At the time the
possibility of Operating in Park
County had been discussed and later,
at the time of the Stampede Ball on
December IL. he had come to Cody TO
conclude negotiations.
He testified that upon the payment
Of $3.50, which the sheriff needed to
pay Off a mortgage of $500 on his car
which was held by Nick Rieneeker, he
was to have the privilege Of selling
wh!skey in Park County. II was un-

Voluminous Testimony Offered by Each Side
Flatly Contradictory; Personal Animosity
Shown by Witnesses for the State

The hearing of the charges against Sheriff w. H. LOOMS, which
have been the chief topic of conversation in Park County for several
weeks, started promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday morning in the
courthouse with Governor Ross occupying the judicial bench and
Avery Haggard, of Cheyenne, special counsel, sitting beside her.
The Governor was wearing a smart black hat, black dress with
a circular neck and a double strand of pearls while a basket of flow
ers on the platform presented by admirers gave a touch of feminin-
ity and color to the severe setting.
Governor Ross throughout conducted the hearing with simple
dignity which was admirable and altogether pleasing.
J. E. McElvain prosecuting attorney for Park County, stated
briefly that it was his intention to present the evidence and inter-
rogate the witnesses and let the Governor pass upon the evidence,
leaving it to her to draw her own conclusion as to the guilt Or in
nocence of the officer. He further warned the witnesses to tell
the truth since failure to do Sc would mean prosecution for perjury.
The defense was represented by H. c. Bronze, of Basin, who was
assisted by his son, Charles L. Bronze. and Meyer Rankin. of Powell
and Cody. From the beginning, the elderly lawyers manner of try
ing the case was the subject of much favorable comment. Keen,
polished, courteous and always in good taste, he is an outstanding
figure at the hearing which is attracting statewide attention.
The State produced a formidable number of witnesses in support
of its charges but the obvious bias of many of them greatly weaken
ed their testimony. While to an outsider things looked gloomy for
the sheriff during the presentation of the States case. they quickly
took a turn when the defense trained their batteries upon the enemy.
If all the witnesses subpoenaed by the defense are called the
hearing may last until Thursday.

At this juncture Attorney Bronze

attorney asked Williford if, during
the trial which he was the defendant
in February, he did not testify that

fourth of July, and not on the second.
Mr.. Bronze inquired casually:"Was

The attorney re-read court records
of the trial, but Williford reiterated
that he was not positive in regard to
his testimony at that time, because il

The witness stated that at this time

and said there was $3.50 in the roll of
banknotes but did not mention the ex-
ira $500. He brought over between

Loomis demanded $1,000 for operating
in Park County and then raised it to
s1,100. He told the sheriff the price
was too high as the BUSINESS wouldn't
justify it except during the tourist
season.
Williford said that he also operat-
ed a still during a s~ojourn in Cody,
That it was located on "Moonshine
Greek" on Pat O'Hara about three
miles from the Widdous Ranch. He
gave up the venture, however, because

selecting his site, in company with
Loomis, he visited the Dickie Ranch

to exchange some property in Casper
for the ranch but Mr.. Dickie said it
was too far off and refused to sell
on those terms. He also visited the
Pat Kelly Ranch on North Fork and
Frank Blackburn's place on Wood
River with the view of securing a
suitable location for his factory.
Government men chopped up his 20
gallon still on Moonshine Creek after
he had abandoned it.
After a fifteen minutes recess in
the middle of the forenoon session,
Williford returned to the stand.
"Was anything said about gambl-
ing in Cody?" asked Mr.. McElvain,
referring to an alleged conversation
between Mr.. LOOMS and Mr.. Robbins.
YES" answered Williford, "Mr.
LOOMS and Mr.. Robbins held such
conversations.
Williford still assuming the complac-
ent attitude noticeable at the beginn-
ing of his testimony, said in response
to Mr.. McElvain's question that he
talked with Sheriff Loomis in Casper
about three weeks ago, and that at
that time he asked the sheriff how
his trial was coming: "Not very

Williford's statement. The latter also
testified that during this conversation
the sheriff told him that it wasn't his
