But there is no one in Seattle who believes, at heart, that Judge Allen is really guilty of anything that resembles bootlegging. If at all guilty, his guilt is technical. It will be oalledt that he presided over the case of a bootlegger, but instead of ordering the contraband whisky entirely destroyed, as the law provides, Judge Allen decided to let the hospitals have some of it for medicinal purposes. This departure from caused the trouble which later ensued. undoubt the technical requirements ly Stull, whether Judge Allen is convicted or acquitted eventually, the grand jury indictment, in itself, marks a page in his career that will not easily be obliterated. What are his thoughts, his feelings, his opinions of the grand jury system? Judge Allen, prior to his appointment on the superior court bench, had been United States district attorney. a great many people. only technically remiss. He had himself been instrumental in bringing about the indictments of There were times, no doubt, when he sought the indictments of people whom he believed guilty but who were What are the judge's impressions now that he, too, has had to go thru the crucible of a grand jury indictment? The Star sent Miss Marian Connor, of its staff, to interview him ‘ SOREN S BY MARIAN CONNOR A smile passed over his rather stern face when I asked for a few moments of Judge Clay Allen’s time. “Won't you sit down and make yourself comfortable?” {he asked, presenting a chair as we entered his private office. It was done with that sincere, quaint courtesy of the Southerner. But when he learned what my mission was, a look of weariness appeared, The mouth closed with a snap into its usual stern lines, slightly dropping at the corners. “I haven’t much to say,” he began. “Of course, it was somewhat of a nervous shock; the thing was so un- expected.” He rose and looked out of the window at the busy street below and out over the sound beyond, “But when a man’s conscience is clear and he feels that he has done nothing wrong, then things like this don't bother him as much as they might. T certai a nat worrying in the least a¥ to the*outeere of. tho the. whole thing seems petty and” personal, there's no use letting oneself ome senta talter or resentful about it, “One thing which has been to me a great comfort thru it all, is the fact that I know I have always tried to do right as I saw it. Of course, I’ve made mistakes—every man does—we’re all human—but. in ‘every’ position I’ve held—and I think my record as district attorney will bear out my statements—I’ve always fought for justice and right to the best of my ability.” He paused a moment. “Read that,” he said, pointing to a small framed docu- ment on tHe wall. “I’m rather proud of it.” “Life Is Like Playing Football,” Says Judge It was a signed letter from President Wilson com- mending him, at the time of his resignation from the office of United States district attorney, for his work on behalf of law and ‘justice. “Do you know anything about football?” he asked sud- denly, “Or baseball?” I nodded, wondering what his question had to do with the matter in hand. “Well,” he went on in a quiet voice, “this whole thing makes me think of my college days when I used to play football and baseball at Northwestern. That was a good many years ago, when the play was rougher than it is now.” | He must have been a good player, too, for in his college days he was named as substitute half-back on the All-American team.
