T
FOR FALSE ARREST
That the arrest of II. H. Mason
recently and his being held for inves
tigation at the local jail was in line
with regular law enforcement prac
tice and in no way can be interpreted
as 'fake arrest' is the wirrd i f Sheriff
Frank E. Taylor tortny in commenting
on Uic suit for $10.0(10 in daniag.s
brought by Mr. Mason.
"Tbe description srnf from I'ort
rind tallied nlniost exactly and it wns
i tot known that .Mr. Mnson was not
the man wanted until an officer come
I from Portland the fallowing day." the
) sheriff said. That low enforcement
authorities nre empowered' in certain
I coses to make arrest for purposes uf
investigation and ttinl this has be -n
i upheld in the courts, is the contention
j ot the sheriff. '
I ''A mistake is made sometimes but
th-s :n no way changes the need for
inn U i us ikrests when it is believed
necessary, tie wienti explains.
The naming of the bonding com
panies as jint dejeadnnts in the dam
age action brings out another nngle
i as it has been held by the court that
the bond wnipanies are nor respon
sible for injury to any individual but
only to protect the state it is under

county, were the principal witnesses
laat night before the legislative com
mittee investigating the atate prohi
bition department, Johnston had arm
ed himself by & thorough perusal of
George Ia Cleaver'a biennial report
and presented an array of stnrtling
assertions. Tho Cleaver report, he as
serted, waa "false, fraudulent and
farcial."
It was necessary for Chairman
Garland to rap Johnston down when
tho witness spoke of "Cleaver, the
governor, Ilerwig and other damn
tools." Also he liked to refer to Iler
wig as "earwig."

with he aaid, waa ft woman he got
Cleaver to send him and who worked

then told the atory of Minnie Cadden
Larkln, another woman who made
considerable history In Lano county.
"This woman," aaid Johnston,

work. I refused to take her on, but
told her the county was open to all

htni !f he employed such a woman.
"He said he did and wanted to gS

Cleaver when questioned later in
the evening denied tbat he had em
ployed the woman or that h lad tried
to perauade Johnston to allow him to
go on hor bond. Cleaver said she waa
employed by the governor ai.d furnish
ed a badge by him upon recommenda
tion ot Ward Irvine, then aecrctary
to the governor, who claimed to have

Agents After Him
Johnston said that the only other
atate agents he ever came into con
tact with were those scot into l.uue
county, to get evidence cgaiust him. i
"i'hey triid to prji," he siiiJ,
"that I was in league with tbe boot
leggers, waa drunken whelp," etc.
Johnston, went at length Into the
character of persons who aigned 'Hi
davits agaiust him, declaring tli.it
every one of thein ho had prosecuted
aud convicted. Thomas Kcenun and
llarry Molson and others were mimed.
"While Mclsou waa in jail," he sand
"the county -commissioners .had him
removed and went to the county burns
to work. Then ono of my men cougu
him bootlegging to County Columia

Denies Report' Veracity. '
In discussing the Cleaver report
which he asserted waa Vfalao and
fraudulent from- cover to cover and lu
no way .confirmed to law," Johnatou
attacked the statement uf the prohi

did he employ ' more ' than ' eleven
agents or more than five on salary.
Johnston aaid vouchers in tho secre

March ho had 13 or 14 and other
months showed similarly. Alao he de
clared Cleaver'a atatement that not
more than one ot hia men had ever
done time in Jail waa untrue, that ha
himself had convicted Charles Vine
yard. In about three-fourths ot the
counties where Cleaver claimed credit
for convictions and fines, Johnston
aaid he was entitled to no credit at

Johnston assailed the financial .re

the right of Cleaver or the governor
under tho law to have both a prohibi
