CASEY’S EXAMPLE. | Michael Casey’s advent into office as a‘ member of the Board of Public Works supplied further evidence of the peculiar- | | ity of the influences thht were filling the | public offices under the administration of | | Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz. Casey’s ener- | gies were forthwith expended in illustrat- | | ing to his Honor the Mayor that, though the Mavor could appoint to some offices, he (Casey) could exercise a similar right as to others, and those offices closer to the | hearts of *“the push.” Through the of-| fices of the Board of Public Works and‘ Health Department Casey plowed his way. | Civil Service was trampled under foot and | to uses purely political Casey bent his in- | | fluence.

Hutton's official conduct has not | been in keeping with the Mayor's pro- posed policy, but Hutton, looking beyond | the Mayor for the fountain of his power, pursued his course and left the Mayor to his tangled thoughts. | If Mayor Schmitz charges misfortune | with these facts, he charges them to a condition which, in other matters, cer- tainly has not pursued him. Fortune has | been his in many ways and hence, in the summing of the evidence, the scandal that has marked his administration must, it would seem, be lald at the door of bad | politics and worse advice. { —_————— | Life Imprisonment for Keerly. | HELENA, Mont, June 5.—James §.

' EVIDENCE A[}AINST PARRY —_—— Thursday that in disposing of the colt the gharter had been violated inasmuch as it provides that any unnecessary property belonging to the city must be sold at pub- lic auction. He attempts to shield Parry on the plea that his fellow Commissioners had given him full power to act in the disposition of the colt. The authorization the Fire Commission which violated the organic law of the municipality cer- tainly did not carry with it the power for Parry to sell the colt and pocket the pro- ceeds. The sum involved in the transac- tion is insignificant, but the principle is large. It is the very insignificance of the amount which Parry appropriated to his own use that makes the affair all the blacker. The colt tvas undoubtedly the | property of the city and the money ob- | tained for the colt was likewise the prop- erty of the city, whether the amount was $25 or 25 cents. The very manner in which the investi- gation was conducted by Mayor Schmitz indicated that Parry’s simple denial that he took the money would outweigh the conclusive evidence of The Call's wit- nesses. The testimony of both Scott and Chenoweth was picked to pieces and they were compelled to give with mathematical | accuracy the simplest details of their | participation in the whole affair. On the other hand the widest latitude was al- lowed to Parry in the presentation of his evidence. In deciding for Parry Mayor Schmitz took it upon himeelf to state that “‘Mr. Bcott ‘had changed his testimony so of- ten that he was hardly a witness to be re- lled upon.” EVIDENCE NOT CHANGED. Now for the information of the Mayor, The Call states unequivocally’ that Mr. Scott did not change his evidence in one jota. He told a clear, straightforward story of his dealings with Parry and gtuck to his statement that he had paid the $25 over to Parry. That some of Scott’s testimony was contradicted by Parry and gome of his witnesses is true, but if the Mayor had not concluded the investiga- tion so abruptly and had made further inquiry regarding the apparent contra- dictions he would have ascertained that Scott’s testimony was true. — One instance as to why the Mayor pre- sumed to discredit the testimony of Scott is cited In the following: ‘While Scott was giving his evidence he stated that he received the order from Parry on the afterncon of April 13 and on the next merning about 9 o'clock he presented the order to Superintendent Connolly at the department stables.

Now the records of Wells, Fargo & Co. at the Third and Townsend street depot contain this entry: Colt—Value $30. W. S. Scott, Mayfield —86. This entry shows that the colt was shipped on train 35, which left the Town- send-street depot at 11:3) o'clock on the morning of April 14, so Scott’s testimony is borne out by the records of the com- notwithstand- ing the Mayor's attempt to discredit his testimony because Connolly testified that he delivered the colt to Parry in thé aft- ernoon. And so it was during the entire inves tigation. The Mayor was assisted in his course by his attorney, Abe Ruef, who stated that he was a disinterested specta- tor at one stage of the proceedings, but did all in his power to help Parry out of his difficulty. When Scott w as giving his testimony | about the circumstances surrounding his | payment to Parry of the $25 he said in | answer to a question of the Mayor: “I paid Parry $2 for the colt—three | fives and ten §1 pi “Then your ment does not agree i in yesterday's Call,"” “It sald there that you three fives and one said the Mayor. paid the money in $10 bilL” STATEMENT IS CORRECT.

Scott was quoted in| The Call on Thursday as s 4 column 2, I thereupon three fives and ten one-dollar piec the statements agreed exactly, Mayor. Again Scott testified positively that the order on the department stables was made out by Parry in a back room of the | Theater Republic saloon. Seott could not be shaken in this statement, netwith- standing - the combined efforts of the Mayor, Ruef and Parry. Parry stated that he made the order ouf at the counter of his cigar stand. His clerk, W. W. Har- ris, testified that Parry had written the order in the clgar store, but this witness made the amazing acknowledgment that he did not know whether it was 12 o'clock or 5 o'clock when the order was made out. And yet the Mayor did not comment at | all on this point, because Harris was one of Parry’'s witnesses. Parry asked Harris if he had seen Scott | pass any money over to him, and Harris | answered no. Now, of course, Harris did | | " 8ol I 1 | not expect | ha in his private office he stated that it| would be informal in order to see if the | testimony was sufficient to warrant 2 for- mal inquiry. W. 8. Scott was the first witness sworn and he told his story sub- stantially as it has appeared In The Call. Scott testified that Parry importuned him to take the colt, ying that he (Pnrryb had been given fun authority to dispose of it by the Fire Commission. SCOIT TAKES THE COLT. “After considerahle talk of the subject I told Parry T would take the colt,” said Scott. “He told me I had better get him | away as soon as possible, and I said T did | something for nothing. gave me an order for the colt and I} handed him a check for §25, the sum T | thought the colt was worth. Parry put the check in his’ pocket, but in fifteen or | twenty minutes he took it out and handed | it back to me, saying, take this back.’ ‘Here, you better That night I got & halter, surcingle and blanket d took it around to Parry's cigar stand. 1 said to Parry, ‘Now this thing is a!l right? He replied, ‘Yes, [ have full power | to act’ I said, ‘Here's $25 for the colt. Now 1 don’t want anythingto come of it.” | In the afternoon when Parry refused to | take the check I got suspicious. I met a friend of mine and told him of the cir- cumstances and asked him if he would not come up and see me pay the $25 to Parry | that evening. My friend said he had no| time, but would send a man. He then in- troduced me to Mr. Chenoweth, and that is how the latter came to be present| when I paid the money to Parry.” “It you ‘considered this a bona fide proposition,” asked the Mayor,” “why did you not make a price for the colt?” “Well, I did not know what the colt was worth,” replied Scott, “but afterward | thought $25 was a fair price.” GIVES PARRY CHECK. Parry asked Scott if he was willing to swear that he had given him a check and Scott re- “I gave you the check and turned it to me in fifteen minutes. Parry repeatedly asked Scott if he per- sisted 1 his declaration that he had given him a check and Scott said he did. When Scott testified that he had received the order for the colt from Parry in the back room of the Republic saloon Parry tried to prevail on Scott to say that the order was made out at the cigar stand, but Scott adhered to his statement that it was given to him in the back room. told my friend about the 1 began to think that said Scott. spected something wrong,” “why did you not ask for you b the check because the transaction was shad, “I5 )uu said the a receipt “A receint is not conclusive as a wit- * replied Scott. *“I paid the money for the colt, as Parry had refused to take the check. Then Parry sought to show that the only money paid over the cigar store [ counter by Scott was 40 cents for three cigars. Scott said he in the habit of buying cigars and might have done so when he received the order. Parry looked triumphant, seemingly forgetting that Scott went back the same evening and paid the $25 for the colt. TEARS UP THE CHECEK. “There was never anything said about selling the colt, id Scott, “‘except that I told Parry I would make it ail right. I afterward tore up the check which Parry had refused to take.” “I was sent to witnes: between Scott and Parry,” said Cheno- weth, who was the second witnes: *“‘About o'clock Scott arrived with a the transaction bundle, which he opened. Scott handed Parry some money, sayirg, ‘Here is the money for the colt.’ Parry said some- thing about the order being honored, as he had been glven full power- to act Scott stated he did not care to implicate himself in anything out of the way. had no idea how much money had been paid. I did not hear all the conversation. I was there to see Mr. Parry take the money on instructions. Scott gave the money into Parry's hands.” The remaining witnesses were W. W. Harris, Parry's clerk; Ed Pyburn, a bar- tender; Superintendent Connolly and Par- ry himeself. Parry denied that he had been offered any money by Scott and the jnvestigation was ended, the Mayor mak- ing the following statement: MAYOR'S FINDINGS. I do not think it necessary to go any further. It is perfectly clear in my mind that Mr. Scott has ct 1 his testimony o often that he is ied upon, and without ent at all, I am per- lieve that the ccordance with hat you, Mr. was given er_ta act.” 1 witn it under advis iy taking ¢ the hoard—* not see the money paid over to Parry by |} L i o Scott, as it was not paid at the time | between Mr. Scott s Scott was given the order by Parry, but | the only point, | t "X“mnnfi on the evening of the same day, when |8l take jup ‘my o * that he ‘said Harrls was nowhere near the cigar stand. | R R $25 for the The Mayor said nothing about the testi-| o but his attention was called to the matter when Parry sought to prove by | Ed Pyburn, a bartender, that he, Pyburn, saw no money paid to Parry by Scott, Py. burn having also testified that he was present when Parry made out the order at the cigar stand. The Mayor was then informed that the witnesses, Harris and Pyburn, were not | competent to testify on the passing of the money, because Scott had testified that he had paid the money to Parry on the| evening of the same day. In other words, the money was not pald when the order was made out, and neither Harris nor Pyburn was present when Scott handed the $25 to Parry mony, “Of cour: the evidence of these men is not material,” the Mayor said. “It is understood that Scott has testifled that the making out of the order and the al- leged payment of money were done at different times.”" But if the Mayor's memory had not ban jogged a little the evidence of Harris and Pyburn that no money was passed would have been a sceming contradiction of Scott's that it had pas Scott's evidence was ¢ first offered Parry a check for $25 in pay- ment for the colt. Parry’s refusal to take the check was what made Scott begin to be suspicious of the transaction and he determined to have a witness present when he paid the money over to Parry. This witness is W. W. Chenoweth. Parry denied that he took the check at first and afterward returned it to Scott. “Scott took a piece of paper out of his pocket,”” said Parry. “I did not know what it was, but I did not take it.” Afterward, while telling the rest of his story, Parry said: “I refused to take the check for $25.” but remembering that he had pi said that he did not know it w. nor its denomination, he added, I supposed it was for $25, that being the | amount of the expressage which Scott | ®aid he would have to pay.” SUMS UP THE CASE. Now, to sum up the whole case, The Call asserts that it is immaterial whether Scott said: “Here's $25 for the colt,” or whether he said: “Here's the money for the colt”; that it is immaterial whether the order for the colt was written by Parry at his cigar store counter or in the back room of a saloon; that it is im- material whether Parry refused to take the check from Scott or took the check and afterward returned it. What is ma- terial and what the public is intimately concerned in is that Scott swore he paid $25 to Parry for a colt belonging to the city; that W. W. Chenoweth testified that he witnessed the payment of the money, though he did not see the exact amount paid. The Call again charges Parry with having received the money and with hav. ing falled to make due return to the Fire Commission or to the city, to which the money rightfully belonged. Against the sworn testimony of both Scott and Cheno- weth is the mere denial of Parry that he took any money from Scott in payment for the colt. ‘When the Mayor began the investigation L e o e ] ] A Guaranteed Cure for Piles.

MORTIMER LAMB. FREE WITH NEXT | l “A Proud Moment,” by F. Mortimer Lamb, is a sportsman’s picture painted by a sports- man, and has for its subject a sportsman’s best friend—a good dog. It is not alone an interesting picture but a portrait of a high- bred Llewelyn setter, “Dash the Second,” from the kennel of the artist. The dog and bird are admirably drawn and there is broad and effective painting in the background of autumnal foliage, but the chief interest in the picture lies in the ani- mated expression and intelligent action. de- picted in the figure of the dog. The great popularity of Landseer’s paint- ings of dogs was due to similar qualities, al= ghough the English painter frequently en- dowed his animal models with exaggerated and almost human expression. For this rea- son the great vogue which his pictures had during his lifetime soon waned after his death. There is no such exaggeration in the picture by Mr. Lamb. He has held closely to nature. The intelligence which shines in the eyes of ‘“Dash the Second” and the pride shown in his carriage are rational and true to canine nature, and yet strongly expressed. Mr. Lamb shows in this an artist’s love of truth and a sportsman’s love for a fine ani= mal. Much of his time in the s.ason% spent in the woods with his dogs.- He carries a gun and a painting outfit, and paints pictures of game on the spot where he kills it. It natural- ly follows that this consistent and conscien- tious manner of painting his pictures has won success wherever they have been shown. Mr. Lamb was born at Middleboro; Mass., in1865. He showed proficiency in drawing when quite young. His first artistic training was received in the Massachusetts Normal School of Art and the Boston Art Mussum. Later he spent three years m the Julian Academy in Paris.
