REV. MATHEWS
ACCEPTED COIN
FOR "CLEAN OP”
Tells How Billingsley and
Gerald Promised
To Be Good
(B> I'nited State* Gahle)
SEATTLE. Monday. March 10.—
Several exciting scenes figured in the
closing of the case for the prosecution
against Mayor Gill, Chief Becking
ham. Sheritr Hodge and others on
Saturday.
Dr. Matthews, final witness for the
government, testified that he hail re
ceived $1,000 from Clarence Gerald in
the presence of Logan Billingsley, the
par havinb come to him shortly after
the date on which it is alleged the
bribe was paid to Mayor Gill to say
they had quit bootlegging and want
ed him to use the money to clean up
the town.
”1 gave part of the $1,000 to Serge
ant Putnam of tin* police force dry
squad." said Matthews, “with instruc
tion to use it hi running down boot
, loggers-."
According to Dr. Matthews. Gerald
lived up to his contract to quit boot
logging, and died doing his duty.
Sergeant Putman, recalled for di
rect examination testified that Chief
lleckingham told him to “lay off Ay
er’s warehouse."
“Later, in the course of my duties,
said Putnam. “I disregarded this or
der and raided Ayer's warehouse,
where I found a lot of Billingsley’s
booze."
At the close of the case for the
prosecution, counsel for the defense
entered motion on behalf of all seven ■
dependents asking that the jury he in-!
strutted to return a verdict of not
guilty.
Judge Xeterer replied by directing
►
such a verdict in favor of Robert
Hodge, former sheriff, stating that the
evidence against Hodge was not suf
licient to convict, but he denied the
motions in regard to the other six. in
cluding Gill and Rockingham.
In issuing the instructions for the
acquittal of Hodge, the court said that
the evidence presented did not show
that Hodge had any knowledge of the
alleged conspiracy or acted in any
way to protect the Billingsley’s. He
referred to irregularities in the form
er sheriff’s conduct, but stated that
they did not refer to the case in court.
Judge Xeterer in rendering his de
cision said, *‘as far as the other de
r fendants are concerned, evidence it
true and unexplained has been pro
duced sufficient to justify a verdict of
guilty/'
