CHARGE EIFERT
WITH
UNFAIRNESS
L
Chat-Rim? joint blnnk that Mnyor
Eifert Is mnnifestly unfnir nut) pre
juiltccd In his rulings on tbc odtiuRi
rtbllity of f vidcncc in I ho caso of the
city yd. George II. MUlaf, for im
moral conduct. Attorney Qua New
berry for the defense nt thla morn
inff's session of tho court served no
tice of motions asking chnngc of
venne. Ho asked time to prepare
finch a motion which was promptly
denied by tk mayor. He then Hinted
thnt ho would do w nt his earliest
opportunity.
Newberry's chorus thnt tho court
vas manifestly unfnir and prejudiced
followed the overruling of rt motion
offered by Newberry to ntrike out nil
of the evidence submitted by City
Attorney fioggs ns to Millar's method
of conducting the. Manhattan cafe,
on tho gronnd thnt it was in no wav
connected with tho Itoyal Rooming
howhc or with any immoral conduct
on the part of Millnr. Newbury
cited supreme court decisions as to
such evidence, stating that it would
not, in any court of law bo admitted.
Chart's RallBg.
"This 'court is not tho circuit court
nor tho supremo court," declared tho
mayor, "and this evidence will be ad
mitted." "Then," thundered Newberry, "if
this court is so all powerful that it
can set nside tho circuit court, the
supremo court and all of the law
siuce tho timo of Blackstone, wo of
fer a motion that tho court is preju
diced and unfair.. Tho erideaco of
the situation demand that wo do
this."
"You can appeal," answered City
Attorney Boggs.
"You bet wo can," retorted New
bury, "and what is more, it looks ns
if wol! have to. Futrher than that
111 bet you $50 that you will nover
get the evidence. you have submitted
lierc admitted before a real court of
law."
Mayor Refutes CtiABgrt
Mayor Eifert then refused New
bury timo to submit a motion for a
chango of venue telling him to pro
ceed with the case. Newbury stated
that he would prepare and submit the
motion anyway.
Mayor Kifcrt .opened tho morning's
session of tho trial with a brief re
iteration of his statement Tuesday
afternoon that ho intruded to bo en
tirely fair to tho defendant. New.
bury immediatel followed with hla
motion to eliminate the evideuce con.
ccrning the sale of liquor in the Man
hattan cafe.
"If the mayor really means what
he says, and it b not a mere plati
tude to tickle tho ear of the public,
let him suit his act to this word and
try' this defendant upon the crime
charged in the complaint. What has
his method of conducting his cafe
got to do with an 'immoral act' at the
Itoyal Itoomiug houso as alleged? If
this evidence is admitted why not
bring in the fact that ho probably
btole a watermelon when ft boy. Let's
try him for what the crime charged."
Iloggs argued that tho evidence, was
ndmishnblc inasmuch ns it tended to
show Millar's desire to commit im
moral and unlawful acts. Mayor
Eifert' then ruled, prccipltatiug the
chargo by Newbury.
Bays Wltnctfee Wens Drunk.
Mrs. Julia Jackson, who conducts
the Itoyal Rooming house was tho
first wttucss called Wednesday morn
inc. J3ho testified thnt sho had never
been Millar at tho Itoyal Itoomiug
house except on busmess connected
with his cafe. Sho said she had
never seen or known of his commit
ting an immoral act. She testified
further that Ling and hlwood, who
testified Tuesday aftcnipon, wero
drunk wheu thoy visited tho Itoyal the
night they saw Millar Icnvo without
n tray, and that Millar had never.
brought liquor to tho Itoyal.
Overrule All Objections.
Tho taking of tho testimony was
punctuated ihruttrhuut with objec
tions by Attomoy Newbury. In each
enso ha qsked a ruling of the court
and iu each instance Lifort's ruling
was the same: "I'll admit tho evi
dence." The city retded shortly before noon
and Millar took Jbo stand in hra own
defense. Ho testified that ho was in
tho habit of vbiting Iho Itoyal Room
insr houso to solicit orders for meals,
and then delivering them. Sometimes.
he tamed until the meals wero eaten
and paid for. Ho also testified that
his orders at tho Manhattan were
strict in regard to the Halo of liquor.
At 12:15 tho court' took a bhort
recess for luuohcou.
llc of Change Promised?
That Menlo Davis, the boy whose
evidence has been used as the back
bone of tha testimony ngaiiibt Coun
MM
TRIA
cilman Millar on the cttnrge of sell
ing liquor to minors, had told thrni
thnt ho wns to rocclxe n "piece of
change" from Mayor Kifcrt for hN
testimony, is the declaration made on
tho witness slnntl iu the Millnr trial
this nftcrnoou by Shine Edwards and
Harry Campbell.
Tho witness declared thnt Davis
volunteered tho information to them
thnt ho was getting n piece of change
and thnt ho named Mnvor Eifert ns
Ihe ono who was to pay it.
That tho only liquor ho hnd ever
been offered in Mcdford was given
to him by Mayor Eifert in the mayor's
home, was the testimony of George
Qntes, a 10 year old boy. Mayor
Eifert questioned the lad closely nnd
remarked thnt he wn surprised tho
boy would "lie in such a case."
Offered to Withdraw.
The trial of Millar was resumed
Tue.day afternoon before n crowded
house. Ou calling his court to order
Mayor Eifert made n short statement
in which he stated that rumors had
spread around the city to tho effect
that he could not give Millar n fair
trial. He suggested the name of
Glenn 0. Taylor, justice of tin ponce,
as the trial judge, tho council having
power to so appoint, but Mr. Taylor
declined to servo. Other names were
suggested but finally Mayor Eifert
continued, the defense expressing it
self satisfied.
Harvey Ling was the first witness
to bo called. Ho testified that on the
night of Jnnunry 'io ho and "Ikv" El
wood left tho Nntntoriuin where they
had been drilling with the nntionnl
guard and went directly to tho Royal
rooming house. There they remained
for two hours. On leading they testi
fied that thev saw Millar leaviug the
Royal and with a tray of dishes. Fol
lowing Ling, Elwood was called, who
told practically tho same story. They
were also asked concerning the Man
hattan cafe but gne little testimony
as to its conduct.
Probing Manhattan.
Paul Schulcr and Norman Merrill
were called by the city and asked
concerning the conduct of the Man
hattan. Although Millar is being
tried for immorality much testimony
was taken regarding the Manhattan
and the salo of liquor. This evidence
was taken over tho objections of At
torney Newbury for the defense who
declared thnt Millar was not being
tried for selling liquor to minors but
for immorality. Schuler nnd Merrill
knew little of the Royal rooming
house nnd had never seen Millar in
that vicinity.
AI Ucnniston, teamster, was called,
and testified as to the Mauhattnn
Cafe as did Robert Fryrcar, a for
mer dishwasher, employed by Millar,
and Everett McArthur, a high school
boy, aged 18, who said he purchased
a glass of beer at the aianuimnu a
year or so ago.
Officer Cingcado and Chief Hitt
son testified ns tot he character of
the Royal rooming house nnd as to tho
conduce of the Manhattan Cafe.
Neither knew of any carousals at the
latter place.

do. Tho children's revolt Is well
founded. Their little stomachs and
tendor bowels are Injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish,
