Attorney Marx asked the witness
nt this point it he knew of an at
tempt of some of Chief Loucks of
ficers to "plant" liquor in a house
on Broad street, that was to be
raided, to insure the obtaining of
evidence to get a conviction. Ar-
graves said "yes" he knew this
was done. Also liarx asked: ."Uo
you know of desrriminations made
In the charges against livestock to
owners, whose stork has been taken
to the city pound. Argraves an
swered: "Yes, Tuttie had four
horses In the pound about five
hours, and Luucks charged him
$5.00 per head; also Smith of the
brick yard was charged at the same
rate, but the Klamath Tacking com
pany had 34 head taken up and
they were first asked 50.00 then
let off for 10 dollars. Tuttie had
four horses and he paid Chief Loncks ;
seven dollars cash and gave him a
note for $13.00." , The receipt for
the, seven dollars was produced at
this point" by Argraves, and .Loucks
said ttie note was in hi safo In the
office, v. k-n - .
,- Mayor Goddar'tt . subjected Ar
graves to a lengthy cross examin
ation and laied a great deal of stress
on Argraves, neglecting to rendeT
assistance In herding a big crowd
of Central school kids through the
streets pn-the occasion of ong of
their recent rallies. Argraves an
swered, "I saw yon trailing along
after the kids, and two other offi
cers,, one on each side, so couldn't
. see where'l was- needed very badly."
.The mayor said "Don't yon think
these children should be protected
from traffic danger?" Argraves
answered "It didn't look to me like
you were going about it in a very
sensible way, I figure the best way:'ters
to guard them against traffic would
have been to station an officer at
the Intersections ahead, and behind
them Instead of tagging along after
the croud."
On crosa examination Attorney
Marx asked Argraves if be ever
erg had been taken to the station
and either turned loose by the chief
or mayor immediately without the
formality of coming up before Judge
Gaghagen or released the next
morning. Asked specifically for an
instance, the witness said some
months ago he and officer Brown
had seen a party cross the Eighth
street lot to the back of the Herald
building and that he had followed
into the back room and found a
card game going on. He and
Brown confiscated the cards and

the parties to the station, but the
mayor put In an appcrance and
let the parties go. A $20 check
had been put up on this occasion
with some of the officials but the
'next morning this check was given

Officer Brown went to the phone
and called Mayor Goddard. and- be
(Cooper) didn't know what the
mayor's words oyer the phone were,
but Cooper and Brown did not mo
lest the party at all, and he under
stood that the mayor was going to
take the matter up personally with
the offenders.
Former chief of police Powell
was called to the stand by the
mayor. He testified that he was at
the station on the night of the
raid on the Broad street place
where the alleged liquor plant was
made and that he knew nothing of
It and believed beyond a question
of a doubt that Chief Loucks
wouldn't stand for any such busi
ness for a minute.
Gene Henry, city engineer, who
has his office in the police quar-
was also called and he co-
oberated Powell's statements en
tcto, however. Henry admitted as
Powell did that the "plant" .might
have been arranged before they
came cn the scene.
W. H. Perkins, of the Evening
Herald took the stand and took
issue with the testimony of ex-of-
through a busy street and I felt like
arresting the two of them myself,"
Marx said. "If a traffic officer

"Did he want you to make a lot
of arrests whether the public was
guilty cf violations or not?" Ar
graves answered "I guess he did."
. Ex-Officer Bardell was called to
the stand. He stated that he had
resigned from the police forco about
ten days ago because Loucks un
bralded him for going Into the fire
men's quarters. He said he had
always heard Argraves spoken of as I
a faithful officer. Asked If he
knew of the attempt to plant Honor j

ceding a raid by the entire police!
force, Bardell said "yes he saw an
officer fill an empty bottle for this'
purpose out of a eupply of liquor
that had been taken from previous
offenders and kept in safe keeping
In police headquarters. " " Asked if

Officer Brown was called to tho
stand and said ho did not know
ot the use of a "plant" to obtain
a ' conviction at the Broad street
place. He said two bottles were
found there during that raid, one
under tho house and one under a
Bldewnlk leading to the house. The
reason for the raid was that ho and
