It was a few months back that the village pur­ chased the eye-sore and it will soon be cleaned up and made more present­ able, Ur.

We understand some o f the clubs about town are also favotabld'fo this, improvement. It was also suggested that the creek through town could be improved and made, suitable, fo r boating, a plan that has been adopted in numerous towns. While council possibly *co»ld not finance the entire cost it was suggest ed that * citizens meeting be called and the plan discussed to get an-ex­ pression o f the public. I t is possible that a number o f jour leading citizens will 'be asked to take the initiative in this work. , ’ While there was considerable routine business transacted Monday evening,, council voted to instruct the marshal to remove the highway signs recently placed without per­ mission by the state'department. The signs are anything but ornamental and a re - dangerous to pedestrians in the dark. £Jruce Bickeft 1 Wins First Place The Herald had information early Friday morning from a New York press agency that Cedarville College had been left a $10,000 legacy under the terms o f the will o f the late Miss Harriet L.

Her death took place June flth and the will was just offered fo r probate last week. Ur, W. B.

Bather than permit Mrs, Moth to become extinct the politicians are. acting as the father o f the corn borer, and In.this, way get their relationship on the state pay roll at a fa* salary, while the farmer has his *auto searched a* if he might be a dealer in corn liquor. The peculiar thing is that Mr*. Moth is perfectly harmless. She works on union rules and applies her­ self in the day time to planting her egg product in the com stalk.

He can wield It any way he .please# and the public seldom has opportunity o f knowing just what is going on. It just came to light last week that Prosecutor J. C. Marshall ran into a different kind o f a customer than he had been handling, much to the dis­ advantage o f the Gowdy-Marshall gang. This ,time the Prosecutor ran counter with a state prohibition de­ tective, Charles W . Hurl, who had been secured to dig up liquor law violations. liquor Jaws said Prosecuting Attorney requested' this affiant to Jay off o f the colored people. Affiant further says that in some of the case# he presented to J.

State Detective Hurl has been un­ able to- get a rhoye out o f Marshall and has become disgusted with the Situation in Greene county, H e'says Marshall has a desk full o f liquor that he .^uirchased in X&pia, James- town, Cedarville^ Osborn, and Fairfield at the expense o f the. county but're­ fuse* to go on with the cases. Hurl contends some o f the cases were lagrant violations* It will he remenibered .that Mar­ shall played the'same kind o f a game a few years ago when a, detective was employed at the expensetof the coun­ ty to find evidence against gamblers, Marshall- picked out certain persons for arrest and protected the .others for political reasons by not having all served. It will’ be remembered that i.he Herald exposed the situation at that time. A prominent attorney in ihe county threatened to expose a certain jury fixing deal unless further prosecution' was stopped. Whether that held up additional arrests or not, none have been made. Marshall’s attitude also proves to the public how his office expense has been increased at the expense o f the tax payers fo r the benefit o f the Gowdy-Marshall politicians. How easy it is to hold a club over these forces to keep them in line for the Gowdy-Marshall political program at lection time. The following is an affidavit sworn to by Hurl as to the contract for service wjth Marshall and reasons ivhy no action has been taken. ^ State o f Ohio, Greene County, ss: Charles W. Hurl being first duly sworn, says that on or about the 29th day o f May, 1928, he was employed by J. Carl Marshall, Prosecuting At­ torney o f Greene County, Ohio, to make investigations in Greene Coun­ ty relative to the violations o f the liquor law* and that hi* compensation therefore vf&s to be $20.00 /o r each case where a conviction was had and where -no conviction was had this client was to receive no compensa­ tion; that in pursuance to said con­ tract, this affiant did make investiga­ tion covering much of the time be­ tween the date o f his employment and Thursday the 25th o f July, 1928; that previous to 'a n d on Thursday July 25th, 1928, this affiant presented to said J,’ Carl Marshall, Prosecuting At­ torney o f Greene County, Ohio, evi­ dence in as many as about (37) thirty seven cases and that on said July 25th 1928, this affiant laid before the Pro­ secuting Attorney his evidence ih Several said cases showing violations and sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. ■ - That said J* Carl Marshall as Pro­ secuting Attorney, fieiflined to file any affidavits in any o f said Cases present­ ed to him on July 26th, 1928, and gave as a reason therefore that he wasn't going to find any more prose­ cutions in violation o f the liquor law until after the election on Auguat 14th, 1928, Affiant further aays that hi his in­ terview with 3, Carl MarahftM Pro­ secuting Attorney relative to Uta In* veirigations o f the violation o f the Ward,, colored. Two are listed women. One place a restaurant. Hurl claims ’ that' a warrant' was issued against one o f these bu ffer, some rea­ son Prosecutor has hot had it served. In Jamestowh there ar| seven sup­ posed .violators, Three have been ar­ rested and fined. On^ is a poolroom proprietor* Another is the name o f a woman who is said .to have been used at one time to trap other viola­ tors’. The others individuals. In Osborn we find eight names. One in which an affidavit and warrant have been issued but not served. OneT case tried where a still was found. One poolroom proprietor, A constable. The others are* listed as'individuals. Fairfield has but one charge and that against a woman, •' v ., In Cedarville four cases were re­ ported* One has been arrested and found guilty. Charges Were made against a colored woman, a white man and a Main street business man. Hurl has fulfilled his contract with the Prosecutor but is unable to get cases set so that he can have a settle­ ment fo r what is due him* As far back as two years ago the Herald placed a question to Sen, Mar­ shall asking him if he ever accepted a fee to secured the release o f a con­ victed liquor violator. Of course the question was ignored, ,* ; Prosecutor Marshall has for1 four years continued to bring numerous liquor law violators in Probate Court before Judge Wright rather than fo l­ low the custom in most neighboring counties o f having such trials in Com­ mon Pleas Court. By so doing the -4»tigma and ill feeling o f the law vio­ lators and their friends' has been heaped on the Probate Court rather than on Judge Gowdy of the upper Court, One cannot name a Probate Court in thin section that has had as many such cases in the past four years. No criticism can be honestly laid on Judge Wright hut Gowdy es­ capes all this by the good graces o f his political associate. • * # ♦ # The -charter form of government for Cincinnati, broke the hold o f the Cox-Hynicka political machine in the city. The.gang, has held the county with a death grip but this year the friends o f charter goverfiment have organized to drive tlie machine poli­ ticians out o f the courthouse. It is a peculiar circumstance that Myers Y. Cooper, Cincinnatian, millionaire, who lost his county two years ago on Uie dry issue, is now the Cox gang candidate for governor, with the wet Hamilton county politicians urging Ms candidacy over the state. On the other hand you find the enemies qf the gang apposed to Cooper and sup- potting Begg fo r governor. A mil­ lionaire is in position to accomplish almost wonder*,', even in polities. The citiwms o f Greene county are awaiting the promised issue o f the political flyer that is to he circulated before election by the Gowdy-Mar- shsll and W* C. T. U. political work­ er*.
