P TOWN OFFICER SUES| WOMAN FOR §25.000 Gogatable Barrows of Newingtoui } ‘Dmias Misappropriation Wewington, April 9—Alleging det- amation of character, Justice of the Peace C. S. Barrows has hrought | suit:against Mrs. Elizabeth E. Wal- | tera of the Center for $25,000 through his lawyer, ex-Senator Jo- | seph B. Griffin, because of remarks alleged to have been made by the defendant at the republican caucus | Property of the defendant in this town has been attached. Justice Barrows alleges in his complaint that Mrs. Walters mads a watement to the effect that he took $100 which belonged to the re- publican town committee and put it gn his own pocket. Mr. Barrows further alleges that this statement was false and malicious. According | to the complaint, he is a justice of jthe peace and has taken wide in- terést in town aff. holding sev- era} other offices, and accordingly, his” reputation has been injured. At the republican caucus, Miss Mayy C. Welles attempted to put through a motion disbarring all per- sons from the town committee Who Jad served four years or mor [There was some criticism of the mo Ition, several persons saying t \they thought members of experience !would be more valuable to the com- mittee. It was then Mrs. Walters is alltged to have made her statement. ‘She was a member of the committee which wWas being eriticized and had isupposed that Mr. Barrows was a ‘mgmber of the committee when he ‘is/mlleged to have misappropriated | the money. Mr. Barrows has never bdgn a member of the republican tojwn committee. iBefore the election. two years ago, \Barfows went to the republican Istate headquarters and explained to J. Henry Roraback that the local town committee was not in favor of Iniring automobiles for the transpor- tation of votrrs to the polls.

The plaintiff made « peport back to the republican headguarters, showing the itemized statement of how the money was sppot.

In its fundamentals, the cam- paign between the Deneen group and the Small-Thompson-Crowe re- publicans has been *throw the ras- cals out” on the one hand, and a most positive denial of rasculity on the other. Neither side has hesitat- cd to use sharp language against the other; the Deneeners tearing the administration of the state's a torney’s affairs under Crowe, with rowe and Thompson returning the fire by picturing crime conditions in Chicago when Senator Deneen him- self was state's attorney. The Deneen candidate for gover- nor is Louis L. Emmerson, now scc- retary of state. He has charged that Gov. Small tuged Chicago heav- v to build roads downstate. He las campaigned on a promise of cconomy of state operation and a square deal for the city of Chicago.
