The only word I ever had from Hodge about slot ma- chines was to throw them out. Vanderveer is the man responsible for their operation so far as I know.” Further light on the slot machine business was thrown this morning by John Liner, formerly a deputy sheriff under Sheriff Smith, Working in Harmony. During the Smith administra tion,” said Liner, “slot machines in operation at’ North Bend were seired and the men operating them arrested. Vanderveer, who was then chief deputy in the office of Pre uting Attorney Mackintosh, pere ly came to me and told me to turn the machines back to their owners, as the men were not to be prosecuted, I thereupon turned the machines ba and they were again placed in operation.
