specifications Of charges against
Sheriff Cummings in the event that
the special investigator and prosecu-
tor. appointed by the governor,
Franklin Fisher of Lewiston. in
troduced evidence in an effort to
prove mis-feasance or mal-feasance
in office.
II have been in the city since
morning going over the defense evil
dence and endeavoring to get it In
shape, and am surprised to find a
very decided Khan activity underlying
and backing this proceeding" said
Judge Connolly last evening just be-
fore he left the sheriff's Office to re-
turn on the Pullman to Portland.
This originated back in the last
primary" continued the senior coun-
sci, land the plan, it appears, is to
get one of their men in the office of
sheriff with a hope that being an
appointive incumbent, he will be able
to succeed himself.
"The allegation against Sheriff
Cummings is that he did not faith
fully and efficiently perform his stat
utory duties. This is merely an al
legation of non-feasance, non-per-
Torrance, and being, as. the lawyers
say, a negative allegation, cannot be
alleged positively. We are told by
the special prosecutor that he in
tends to present evidence of mis-
feasance and mal-feasance, and an
ticipating this, filed a motion re-
questing that specifications of these
positive acts be filed. I didn't an
ticipate any difficulty in securing
these, but Notwithstanding the fact
that my associate, Attorney Farris.
and / interviewed Governor Brew
ster, Special Prosecutor Fisher and
Ch1ef Field. we are unable to get
the information extended an ordi-
nary drunk or thief, who, when ar
ralgned is, in the complaint, told the
nature of the offense with which he
is charged, and the time when and
the place where the offense was
committed. --~-----~,
1T does seem as though a man
holding an office as important as
sherln of this county should be ac-
cofded the courtesy extended a GRIM
mai. AS the matter is left, we VIII
not know until the Board of Gov
ernor and Council meets Thursday
morning, whether we are to be adj
Vlsed of what we are to answer to.
IN the matter of misfeasance and
maI-feasance. We will be ready
Thursday to proceed with a defense
TO the non-feasance allegation. and
VIII endeavor to show that Sheriff
cummings has faithfully and eff
GENTLY discharged his duty. If eyi.
dence of -mis-feasance and mai.
feasance is offered we will ask for
continuance that we may collect
ana prepare our rebuttal evidence
Many of the men examined NV
Chief Field. are, I am told. convicts
ana bootleggers. Their records and
characters are to be considered in
determining their credibility. and
the governor and council have a
right to know of them, and it is our
duty to show this kind of evidence.
Il am informed that the investi.
gators for the prosecution have
threatened prospective witnesses
and have promised immunity to 9TH
ers. More than one man has had
1t broadly limited to him that he was
q prospective appointee as Sheriff
Cummings successor. in order to
enlist his sympathy and assistance.

Waterville City
Government to
Name Water Trustee

A matter Of much interest will
come before the first meeting of the
new city government next week is
that Of the election Of a trustee of
the Kennebec Water District. The
election lies within the jurisdiction
OF the city fathers and the trustee
whose three year term expires is l..
eugene Thayer. Mr.. Thayer was
elected by a Democratic city govern
ment ana the great amount of specu-
iation centers around the possibility
OF his election. Other men who have
become candidates for the office are
Hon. p. G. Wardwell, Fred H. Rose
ana DR.. L G. Bunker, all Repuhli-
can.
Concerning the impending election
Mayor Libby has to say:
The municipal officers will elect
In April a trustee of the Kennebec
Water District, the term of Eugene
Z. Thayer expiring at that time.
Whether Mr.. Thayer will be re-elect.
ed or whether the party now in pow
er will feel that they are entitled to
select someone Of their own choos-
ing Is wholly. matter Of specula-
ton.
There seems to be very unusual
interest in the prospective action Of
tho municipal officers. and this may
well be interpreted as a clear evil
dence Of a growing interest in the
Water District. an institution that
has come to occupy a very large
place in the life OF our city. All citi-
zens are vitality interested in the
rates charged for the water that we
use, in the savings effected, and in
the wise expediture of the money
collected from every householder. No
institution could be closer to our peo-
pie for we all contribute to its MAIN
tenance.
1T l may Judge anything from the
number Of interviews that citizens
have had with me. the feeling seems
to be general that the man finally
selected for this important trust
should be one who is first of all
keenly interested in the work that
the Water District has to do, can
give time and thought to he work.
and one who is capable Of rendering
not alone a faithful service to the
District but, what is Of paramount
Importance, one who will render
faithful stewardship to the munich
pal officers who appoint him."
