"Distriot Court."
(The following article was banded to
us by Rev. H. O. Pratt, chairman of
the Central Committee of the_Anti
Saloon League for thiB county, with the
request that we publish it, and It was
proof read by Rev. Caul. The columns
of the Democrat are always open for
any article, not libelous, on matters per
taining to the public welfare, which the
author is willing to father, and more
especially Is this the caBe where the
article is a criticism of one which has
appeared in Its columns.)
Under this heading, The Democrat of
May 15th, reviews the proceedings of
the District Court of Delaware County
In the liquor Injunction cases. In that
review, there are several statements
which are not according to the facts,
and which, In justice to all the parties
concerned, ought to be corrected.
The Democrat represents Judge Blair
as "severely censuring the methods re
sorted to by theproBecution." In speci
fying the methods that were censured
by the Court, two things are mentioned,
The first, is the alleged "fact that the
case (then before the court,) was not
commenced at the instance of a^cltizen
of Delaware County.
This Blleged "fact" is no fact at all.
The case then before the Court and all
the cases were commenced at the in
stance of, and by citizens of Delaware
County. All that was done by Mr,
Abrams, or by Mr. Size, or by Mr,
Cameron that had any reference to the
bringing of these cases, was done by
tbem at the Instance of citizens of
Delaware County.
It will be remembered by many that
on Sundav evening, October 7th 1800,
Mr. Abrams addressed a mass meeting
in the Congregational church of this
city, on the work of the Anti-Saloon
League and that after the address, by
arising vote the audience elected the
pastors of the city members of the
Central Committee of the League for
Delaware County and pledged them
selves to support and stand by the
pastors and the Anti-Saloon League
Committee In their prosecution of the
work. It is remembered that Judge
Blair
wbb
present in that audience and
that by riBlng to his feet with the others
be joined in the vote and the pledge.
That meeting was arranged for by
the pastors of the city and was held
under their auspices, and in, one of the
tttHtwtffl
churches. Mr. Abrams was present
and addressed this meeting by the in
vitation of the pastors and since that
meeting, all the steps tMt led tip to the
commencement of the liquor injunction
cases were taken by the Central Com
mittee ot. the Anti-Saloon League for
Delaware County.-
When the Committee came Into
possession of evidence that the defend
ants in theBe cases were selling Intoxica
ting liquors unlawfully, it employed Mr.
Cameron to commence and prosecute
these injunction cases as its attorney,
that was bis only relation to the cases.
Upon this first count, therefore, the
censure if the court was a misplaced
censure. It was predicated upon a
ground that had no existence in fact.
The other ground upon which the
Court based its censure of the prosecu
tion was the alleged "fact tbat the case
was not commenced for an
actual violation of law, bnt upon a
manufactured complaint worked up by
outsiders." This Is followed up by the
statement that "the prosecution em
ployed a so-called detective, not for the
purpose of discovering some offense
which had actually been committed,
but to go out and work up an offense
in
which the detective
Bhould
particeps
bb
become
crlminiB."
possible and
the patrons of the national game nay
reasonably expect to see some good
games during the summer.
-The time of the district court from
last Wednesday to Friday evening was
principally consumed by the trial of the
case of W. H. Reardon et. al. vs. Mary
M.43eitz. The plaintiffs are heirs at
law of Sybel Reardon late of Union
township this county. The defendant
is a grand-daughter of Mrs. Reardon,
and lived with her for twenty years
prior to her decease. Mrs. Reardon
was the owner of forty acres of land in
Union township worth about 92,000.
She had been an invalid for several
years, and for Beveral months preced
ing her decease was helpless. Last
August she made a will giving the de
fendant all of her property at her de
pease, on condition that she remain
with and care for her. Mrs. Reardon
died last December, and this action
was brought to set aBide the will, the
alleged canse being that the defendant,
by undue influence caused her grand
mother to make it. A large number of
witnesses were examined on both sides,
and last Monday Judge Blair rendered
his decision holding that the will
ThiB is a grave charge. It imputes
a base and criminal motive and pur
pose to the prosecution in theBe cases
—the members of Central Committee
of the Anti-SaloonLeague for Dela
ware County. The Imputation of this
base purpose to the prosecution Is still
further followed up by the Court in the
declation he is reported to have made,
that"there Is abroad dlstlncton between
wilful violation of law and a tran
saction brought about through the
schemes ofa person hired and paid for
that purpose."
Thus the prosecution in these cases Is
charged by the Court from the bench
with planning to Inveigle the defend
ants in these cases into "a worked up"
offense,—into "a transaction brought
about through the schemes'of a person
hired and paid for that purpose,"—and
then commencing these cases against
them upon thoBe manufactured com
plaints.
This charge is explicitly and In
dignantly denied by the Central Com
mittee of the Anti-Saloon League for
the County of Delaware.
That a detective was employed by
the committee is admitted. That he
was employed to "manufacture com
plaints,"—to "work up" offenses against
the defendants in these cases or in any
of them, is dented by the committee
with emphasis. The vile motive and
purpose which according to the Demo
crat, Judge Blair saw fit to impute to
the prosecution in these cases, never
for a moment entered into their delib
erations or planB.
The committee Is willing to oppose
its simple but explicit denial to the un
supported imputation of the Judge.
No one knows better than Judge Blair
tbat such an imputation coming from
the bench of the Distrlt Court, calls for
justification that can rest upon nothing
but facts.
wsb
The speech of the Judge In which he
exploited his temperance record both as
an attorney at the bar and as a judge
on the bench, and In whloh be resented
the presence of a few Uhiistlan women
In his court room as "an un-called for
Imputation," that speech certainly was,
as the Democrat says, "an Incident out
of the ordinary."
That speech may have been a great
comfort to the Judge's friends who
have recently been engaged in the il
legal Bale at Intoxicating liquor,—but It
was an uncalled for Imputation" up
on the ladles who were In the Court
room, with no thought of Influencing
the action of the Court, but on account
of their deep interest In the efforts tbat
were being made to put a stop to the
illegal sale of intoxicating beverages.
It is tree, very true-"there was little
chanceto mistake the object of their
visit,"—but, by the Court, It was en
tirely mistaken.
Central Committee, A
nti-Saloon
League.
The committee's criticism of Judge
Blair's remarks in rendering his
decision
adverse to the plaintiff in the case of
C. A. Hifchfleld vs. John Hruby, is not
borne out by the facts as shown by the
testimony elicited at the trial. It is
true that the plaintiff in tbis case is a
resident of this county, but the evi
dence of J. J. Cameron, the plaintiff's
attorney, who was put upon the stand
by the defendant, clearly showed that,
the case was commenced at the in
stance" of one Abrams, tho president
of the State League, and that he used
the Central Committee of the League
for Delaware County, as the means to
carry out his plans.
The statement made by Judge Blair
that the case against Hruby was based
upon testimony manufactured by the
alleged detective, Size, cannot truth
fully be gainsaid. No evidence was
offered in this case showing, or attempt
ing to show, that Hrnby ever sold in
toxicating liquors to any person, other
than the alleged sales of cider to Size.
Size testified that he went to Hruby's
place and asked for hard cider and got
two or three glasses and a bottle of
hard cider from Hruby. Hruby ad
mitted that he bad sold Size cider, but
denied that It was hard cider, and testi
fied that he bought the cider of L.G.
Wells, of this city, and Wells swore tbat
he was present and saw the cider made
that he sold to Hruby, and tbat it was
pure sweet apple cider. Discredit was
also cast upon the evidence of Size by
showing tbat he had made an affidavit
on which the injunction case against
Cleveland and Ballard was founded,
and which, upon Investigation made by
Cameron was found to be untrue, and
by reason thereof the case was by
him dismissed.
If Abrams or the County League did
not employ Size "to go out and work
up an offense," the fact remains never
theless, that that was all tbat he did or
attempted to do In the Hruby case, and
it was upon the ease manufactured by
Size, that the plaintiff's attorney asked
for a decree against Hruby:
It is no surprise to those who have
been acquainted with Judge Blair
durlng hls residence In this city, that
he attended the mass meeting held In
the Congregational church on Sunday
evening, October 7th, 1900, and with
others pledged himself to aid In en
forcing the law against the sale of In
toxicating liquors, It la known to
many here that the Judge has always
been a zealous worker In the cause of
temperance, and we do not believe that
there is now living in this county
person who has spent more time and
money in that cause than he has, and it
Is to his credit that he will not allow
his zealotism In tbat cause to outweigh
his sense of justice and fair play, either
as a man or jurist.
It is a sufficient answer to the pledge
claimed to have been made by him "to
support and stand by the pastors and
Anti-Saloon League Committee in their
prosecution of the work," that he had
the right to assume from the time and
place where the meeting was held and
the persons who were taking an active
part in it, that the prosecutions would
be conducted fairly, and that he
Suppose that there was a saloon
league here in Manchester, and that an
officer of the league
Bhould
have re­
quested a number of its members to at
tend Judge Blair's court In a body dur
ing the pendency of one of these In
junction cases, would any one contend
thBt
they were doing a proper act?
Has any one who knows Judge Blair
personally any doubt about whBt he
would have said on such an occasion?
There was a time in the history of
the common law, when partisan fanatics
controlled the courts, and h&d their
judges hold "bloody assizes", where law
and evidence had but little weight,
where innocent political opinions were
tortured into constructive treason, and
where good men were sent to the Tower
to be beheaded. The history of those
times makes every attempt to improper
ly influence a court doubly abhorrent
to judges and lawyers.
We desire to express our sincere ap
preciation to the many friends who so
kindly assisted us in our sad bereave
ment.
