PAGE Six POLIGE IN CLUB REFORE RAID, NO ARRESTS MADE (Continued from Page 1.) arate cel] for. nearly twelve hours, Chief Webb came to him and said “they have played horse with me long enough.” This was the first time he had been released to go to a phone and get in touch with an attorney or allowed in any way to secure bond, according to Mr. Reeder. “J asked Mr. Stidger and Mr. Webb what the bond was and if I could be released on bond. They replied that there was ‘nothing doing’; that it was a serious charge and not a bailable case. Nobody was allowed to talk to me and I was placed in a separate cell from the nine other men arrested. - “I told them my business would close and I weu'd be a big loser if I did not secure my release soon on bond. But the sergeant said he was acting under orders in not allowing me to use a telephone. I was thoro- ly searched and personal letters and everything taken from me but my glasses and clothing. “T was a member of the Oil Center club but I was not gambling. I was playing cards; fact is, I was just learn- ing the game of pangingue.’ I had absolutely no money transactions dur- ing that night. “The first I knew of the raid was when Chief Webb took hold of me. I had seen him in the room with oth- er members of the police force. seemed not unusual to me to see mem- bers of the police force in the club rooms. I had seen them there before but this was the first time I saw them make any arrests. “Mr. Stidger took me aside soon after the raid and asked me to go state evidence. He said then I would be released and nothing said about When I refused, 1 was placed the woman’s cell in the city jail and Separated from the others arrest- ed.” Mr. Stirrett said that in five years} of law cases he had handled he had never seen a person held on such a small charge without bond. Judge Tubbs announced in court that he was always glad to give bond and there never was a time during the night when he was not willing, and he had often got out of bed to, give bond when it was requested. Attorney Stirrett charged County / Attorney Patten with trying to get back at somebody and settle an imag- inary grievance. Mr. Stirrett said that Mr. Patten was in no way try- ing to preserve law and order in staging the raid early Saturday but on the contrary the whole case was “predicated on personal grievance.” “If the county attorney can get way with this, the same office can get away with anything. Chief Webb was not responsible for the holding of these men; he was merely acting under orders from a man he sup- posed to be legally delegated to give orders in such a state case. But no- body is safe if such procedure is al- lowed to go on. “Mr. County Attorney here could tell your honor that Mr. Reeder is lying when he says he has not been! gambling and not a soul in the court room would believe him. But he does} not accuse him of lying. This man was only playing cards with chips on the same table; the prosecution has not shown that he was gambling. “Tt has shown that he was playing pangingue. Chief Webb has testified that he thinks Mr. Reeder must have been gambling. Now, your honor, would you convict a man on what an- other man thinks? Chief Webb saw him playing cards; he does not say he was gambling. “The chief testifies that he is fa- miliar with gambling games or at least has seen gambling. He has probably seen airplanes and motor cars but he probably cannot tell much of the intricacies of them. Yet, he is sure the man was gambling. “Would you convict on a man’s opinion?” ‘ Judge Tubbs ruled that he did not} see how Mr. Reeder could play pan- gingue without gambling and bound the man over to the September term of the district court. Mr. Reeder testified that Mr. Pat- « ten had seen him Sunday and admit- ted that the whole affair was “a + pretty raw deal and that he was try- ing to get even with The Tribune + because they were trying to job him.” Later in the tria] Mr. Patten denied having any grievance against The Tribune. Mr. Stirrett showed that Chief Webb had testified that in his expe- rience as chief of police bond lad ; never before been denied. He said that the case should not be decided on the fact that the raid was actuated ) by an imaginary grievance but that} this fact formed a good basis for showing the cause of the present ) prosecution.

BASIN, Wyo., Aug. 12.—The resi- dents of the Greybull country inter- ested in building hugh reservoirs to supplement their irrigation water ‘supply held a meeting here Monday for the purpose of proceeding with their project, only to be advised by that there was a di- rect conflict in the Wyoming statutes covering the relief they desired and that under the present act bonding companies would not purchase the bonds. It was then decided to appeal to ‘the governor to call a special ses- sion of the legislature to pass the nec- essary law permitting them to pro- ceed with their half-millon-dollar project.
