PAPY HEARD ON
FERRY CONTRACT.
BRINGS MATTER OF DINING
SERVICE BEFORE COUN-
TY COMMISSIONERS

Representative B. c. Papy last
night brought to the attention Of
the county commissioners the
matter of the contract recently
granted the Interstate Company
to operate the restaurants of the
Monroe County Ferry system.
Mr. Papy said that he did not
want the contract for himself, in
fact the personal equation did not
enter into his idea. He simply felt
that the contract should be award
to a local man or organization.
Speaking for the board, Com
missioner VIM. r. Porter said that
he did not see how any changes
could be brought about in the
matter at this time, as the con-
tract had been granted the Inter-
state Company for one year by
Franklin E. Albert, FERA direc-
tor in Key West, by whom the
system was being operated. Com
missioner Norberg Thompson con-
Cured.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Papy
that passes be issued by the ferry
system to State Senator Arthur
Gomez and himself and asked that
the board of commissioners so in
struct Mr.. Albert.
Clerk Ross c. Sawyer was in
structed to write Mr.. Albert a let
ter advising that the Loard had
NJ objection. to pas<-s Icing H.

sentative Papy when they were

Pine Makes Closing Argument
In Gomez's Trial; Case Will
Go To Jury This Afternoon

ballots, and some of them were
out of the city at the time of the
election.
Issue Defined
The matter at issue was clearly
defined by this able attorney and
the prosecutions side of the case
and the charges on which the is
sue was being tried. were pre-
scented in such a manner as to con-
vince his hearers that he was con-
WINGED of the defendants guilt,
and confidently expected convic-
ton. Attorney Worley's summing
up of the case was concluded at
lilo.
At this time a 10 minutes re-
cess was ordered by Judge De-
we'll. The judge left the court
room and upon his return an
nOunced that the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission had granted
the plea of the Florida East
Coast Railway to abandon the
Key West Extension.
For a few minutes the court
room was in an uproar with hand
clapping and discussion and it
was several minutes before order
was restored.
With the resumption of bust
ness County Solicitor Allan b.
Cleare began his argument for
the prosecution. He prefaced his
argument with the statement that
the news just given by the judge
was such as to make him or any
other person in Key West happy.
Then began a clear and concise
summary OF the proceedings of
the case from the time the first
witness was called until the, last
testimony was recorded.
The name of each witness was
announced and the evidence
educed summarized in a clear and
comprehensive manner which was
brief but convincing. Not one
phase of the testimony as given
on the witness stand was sighted
and while attention was specific
ally directed to certain matters
which may have escaped the jury,
Solicitor Cleare paid particular at
tentiOn to and stressed those
items in the testimony which bore
directly on the witnesses who
averred they had not voted but
whose names were signed to en-
velopes containing ballots alleged
to have been voted by them, the
witnesses.
One case, that of ]. F. Pacetti,
was particularly elaborated on by
the attorney. In this case, it was
pointed out, both the accused and
the witness were well known to
each other and had been in the
habit of chatting when they met.
Mr.. Paeetti had been asked if he
voted an absentee ballot and re-
piled No. Asked if the signature
on the envelope containing the alb
sentee ballot alleged to have been
voted by him, was his, he again
replied No. Could he take oath
the signature was not his? He
then replied Yes and continued by
saying he was 20 years old and the
reason he was able to swear the
signature was not his was l.ecause
he had never signed his name as
he was not able to do so.
Many other items of convinc-
ing nature were presented to the
jury by Solicitor Cleare who
brought his arguments to a close
shortly after the noon hour by
asking God to guide the jury in
arriving at just verdict.

County Board Discusses Issue
To Validate Refunding Bonds
Commissioners Take Up
Many Other Matters At
Meeting Held Last Eve
ming

AT a special meeting of the
board of county commissioners
last night the proposition to
validate the refunding bonds to
be issued by r. E. drummer and
Company was the main subject of
discussion, but no steps will be
taken until certain changes in tho
resolution are made.
Present at the meeting were
Chairman Carl BervaIdi, Commits
sioners VIM. r. Porter, Norberg
Thompson, Braxton B. Warren,
and Nathan Niles. Attorney Ar
thur Gomez, Clerk Ross Sawyer,
Chief Deputy Sheriff Bernard
Waite, Representative B c. Papy,
and FERA Director Franklin E.
Albert, and Attorney J. Lancelot
Lester, representing the drummer
Company.
The reason for the meeting was
announced by Chairman Bervaldi
who instructed Clerk Sawyer to
read the valuation proposition,
which, as usual, was lengthy, YER
bose and in a number of in
st noes required elucidation by
either Attorney Gomez or AttOr-
ney Lester.
After practically the entire pro-
pOsal for valuation had been read
one sentence was discussed at
great length when it was decided
to ask that Attorney Lester COM
municate with the company and
ask that the paragraph in question
be couched in terms which could
be easily understood and which
would clarity this particular para
graph.
Further reading OF the valida-
ton proposition or discussion Of it
was deferred until the requested
changes have been made.
Clerk Sawyer was instructed to
issue a warrant for 1890 to the
credit of the State Board of So
cial Welfare to be used in the
dispensing of Old Age Assistance
to those persons in Key West
qualified to receive it.
On motion unanimously carried
Attorney Gomez was authorized to
attend the next meeting OF the
Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District, and request that. body to
have all future bids on cOnstruc-
ton work for the bridges opened
in Key West.
1t was shown that Key West can
easily accommodate any number
of bidders who will attend the
meeting when bids are opened and
the entire board wanted to go on
record as being averse to the
opening Of bids at any other place
but Key West.

and Giblin, of Miami, was at J
o'clock this afternoon still argu.
ing for the defense in the case of
the State versus Rogelio Gomez
In criminal court.
He went through the informa.
ton count by count and with in.
reflections of comment, caustic
or comic, stated in no uncertain
terms that the case had not proven
one of the allegations charged in
the information.
He told of the olden days
when men were once each yeal
burnt on a funeral pyre to lurge
away the sins of the people, how
in later days the body of a goat
was substituted for that of a
man, and from that day on the
cry had been that someone was
being made a goat of and in this
case it was Rogelio Gomez.
Produces Ballots
Theatrically he produced a
number of the absentee ballots
which the information charged
had been subjected to erasures
and changes. He handed the
ballots to the jurors and asked
that they find the erasures OF
changes and if they did, find the
defendant guilty.
Following the argument of At
torney Pine Judge Dewell intend
ed TO read his charge to tie jury
after which the case would be with
them to find a verdict in accord
with the evidence eGuced from
the witnesses.
Court convened $50 this morn
ing and after the jury panel was
called and the responses received,
procedure of taking testimony was
resumed.
There were but two witnesses
called. Clerk of Court Ross c.
Sawyer and Mrs. Jack Gait, who
was summoned from Miami fOT
the purpose of testifying in the
case, and arrived last night.
Mr.. Sawyer was asked a num-
Der OF questions relative to the
tally books of the June 2 cleo
ton The books had been offered
in evidence. He also explained
that the county was divided in
five election districts comprising
IL precincts, one of which, pre-
cinct IL, was inactive.
Mrs. Gaiti Testifies
Mrs. Gait was then called to
the stand. She testified that she
did not vote in the first primary.
There was one absentee ballot
cast in her name, was in one OF
the ballot boxes and the envelope
signed with her name, but she
positively said, it was not signed
by her.
This was the last of the wit
nesses for the prosecution and as
there were no witnesses to be in
PRODUCED by the defense nor was
the defendant in the matter to
take the stand, taking of testi-
mony ceased and arguments be-
gan.
The opening barrage was start
ed by Vincent Giblin. for the de-
tense. He outlined the case from
the point of view OF the defense,
and gave a clear and conclusive
outline from the defense point of
view. He spoke for about 10
minutes. -...
He was followed by Attorney
G. A. Worley, who dispassionately
presented the states case. His
arguments pointed out that on
several of the charges the accused
was and could be nothing else
but guilty. The evidence brought
ont showed eonclusively that a
number of persons whose names
were signed to the absentee en-
velopes, had not -oted absentee
