objection from the defense, and a
legal argument ensued, during; which
the jury was given a recess. The
state's purpoBe, Attorney Wlmbrrly
i said, was to prove that a conspiracy
! existed, and that Connelly had ap
proached W'roe and had offered to

defense was sustained, but later the
question was plar-d In another way.

(leorgr Miles was next railed, but
his testimony bad little influence, ex
cept as tt tended to show thnt Con
nelly, while an officer, had knowl
edge of booze beinjr sold in Heeds
port. Following Miles' testimony, the
stnte rested. The defense moved for
a directed verdict, claiming thnt all
evidence given by the state bearing
I out any of the allegations of the In
dirtmrnt. was given by accomplices
1 and that such evidence was not suf
ficiently corroborated. The motion
was overruled.
I Connelly ihcn took the stand In his
behalf. He claimed that he
lugs alleged by the state as having
been held for the formation of a
liquor rliug. and hrandnd such testi
mony as "absolutely false." He de
nied also that he had rvrr nrremeif
any money for protecting bootleg
gers. He also recounted testimony
given by Hoberts In the recorder's
court at Heedsport. In which Huberts
under oath was quoted as saying that
he had never paid money to Connel
ly or oilier officers for protection.

tified that hr and Schulte were at

"We went to Westlake to raid a

said. ",Ve were at W estlake all day

claimed.
Connelly alr.o tidniiltcd that he
had bought booze f'om Hoberts oil

the stand and gave testimony up
holding Connelly's stntemrnt that
they were at Weste when th
state alleges the bribe was turned
over.
"We left Keodsport after dark on
the night of the first of July,"
Schulte said, "and went up tho rail
