ANOTHER TRIAL MONDAY
.WIIsoD.fAlleged Saf Blower, on Trial
Gardiner "Bnotlegwr" Pays
v Fine of $250
After a session of nineteen hours,
extending through Thursday night,
the jury in the case of Stephen D.
Short, of Wilbur, charged with for
gery, failed to agree upon a verdict.
The Jury received the case at two
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and upon
the opening of court at 9 o'clock this
morning reported to Judge Hamilton
that they were hopelessly divided.
They were then discharged by Judge
Hamilton without comment. The
case will agaJn be placed on trial
next Monday morning.
The first bntlot taken by the jury
upon their retirement was favorable
to 'Short, seven voting for acquittal
against five for conviction. The sec
ond ballot showed the same result,
but the third saw a change, one of
the jurors previously favoring ac
quittal switching his vote in favor of
conviction. Standing thus six to e-ix.
the jury struggled along for the re
mainder of the afternoon and during
the entire night in repeated efforts
to agree, but the even division es-
tablished on the' third ballot was
maintained until the last.
! "Bootlegger" Fined $250.
The third fine imposed at this term
of court for violation of the local op
tion law was meted out to Frank
Varrellmann, Jr., -of Gardiner, by
Judge Hamilton this afternoon. Ap
pearing without an attorney. Varrell
mann entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of selling intoxicating liquor,
and Judge Hamilton ordered him to
pay n fino of $250. Previously to fix
ing this' penalty, Judge Hamilton wap
Informed by Denuty District Attorney
Hermann that Varrellmann had been
bootlegging" at Gardiner for the
past six or seven months. This
Drought the following from the judge
to the defendant:
"If you have been carrying on this
business for that length of time your
profits doubtless will enable you to
pay a fine with ease. I advise you,
however, not to repeat this ofTense.
You are fortunate in being confront
ed with only one indictment, because
each sale of liquor constitutes a sepa
rate violation of the law. It is sur
" Uprising that you have been engaged
'.i in selling liquor for so long a time
'i without being caught. This being

mistakably identified by a crack in
the buIo of one of his shoes, and two
days ufter his arrest he seized an
opportunity to burn up his shoes in
the lobby of the city jail. The state's
case against Wilson is strengthened
by the fact that he is known as a
safe blower all the way from Bran
don, Manitoba, to Seattle, Wash.
Ju his o pet ring (statement to the
jury, District Attorney Brown Baid ho
intended to prove, among othor
things, that Wilson had practically
acknowledged the crime. Attorney
Abraham, in outlining the defend
ant's case, charged that the evidence
against Wilson had been born of dis
torted imagination on part of the
authorities, who weje actuated by
a desire to make a "reputatiou for
themselves."
One More Indictment.
Another Indictment by the grand
Jury was announced today. It
charges J. E. Hall and A. A. MeCul
loch with gambling. McCulloch has
already acknowledged his guilt und
will act as a witness for the state if
Hall stands trial.

WHY PEOPLE OF EV YORK
DON'T GO TO CHURCH.
Ray Stannnrd Raker, writing In
the June American Magazine on
"Tho Godlessness of New York,"
draws attention to the increasing lack
of Interest on the part of tho people
to church work and to religion. Mr. '
Halter blames tho churches for this
nnd asks tho very portlnent question: ;
"Why don't the people go to -church?"
His answer to this ques- c i
Hon Is as follows:
"T'pen tho question of doing,' the .
ministry has divided Itself roughly
into two great, classes. One has -sought
to savo .tho church by
strengthening the Institution as it Jb
at present; this, Indeed, was natural- .i
ly the first Impulse. Many church
leaders have been seeking endow- -men
Is. building more churches and
parish houses, preaching more ener
getically. And like any Institutional
group under pressure, Kb position has
often bneu one of denial and opposl- :
tton. Having no power of prophecy,
no triumphant mossago, It has scat- ::.
tored Its energies in preaching and
working ngalnst various minor evils. :
Thus we find tho united clergy of
various cities campaigning with en-
thuslasin agal-nst Sunday baseball, -
Sunday concerts, vandevlllo, nnd mov- .;
ing picture performances the amuse- .
iments of the poor. , .
"Now, 1 nin not entering Into the
, question of vaudeville theatres, mov
I Ing picture shows nnd tho like (no
doubt they urn bad enough and need
to be closely looked after) nor am 1
even Inquiring why the expensive "
Sunday nutomoblllug, yachting, opera J
concerts, nnd golf of the rich are not
ns evil in their results as the baseball
and vaudeville of tho poor I nm
merely Illustrating thlfl tendency to
prcRch. und organize against things,
instead t preaching and orgonlzing
for things. If they could do away
i with Sunday vaudeville, Sunday base
; bufll, Bnnday concerts whnt next?
i How would they supply the deflc- 1
! loney? The people won't come to
I church anyway. About tho only time
I the worklngmnn really feels the
' church is when the church tries to
take away Rome of his ploasures!
