H CHARLOTTE NEWS, APRIL 22) 1908, I i mm I !: ;-! 3 fit' s- is: si 1 i.. 1 ili a ; ii iir ?! IN) 1 i hi f .in i- iim A Lesser is Not Liable Continued from page 1 tary of the fair, and Capt. T. S. Frank lin, mayor of the city. Mr. Orr testified: "I am manager of the Mecklenburg fair, and it was my duty to look after the racing, and to see that the tracks were in good condition, and to superin tend any other matter connected with the fair. "I do not know anything about any gambling at the fair. I made a request of the mayor to send a committee to the grounds to investigate the shows and "the games so that I would know what to allow to run, and what to cut out. This committee reported to me that all the shows were clean, and, in consequence of this report, I allow ed them to run. "Mayor Franklin came to the grounds on Wednesday, and told me that the solicitor had said that some of the shows had to be closed. The shows which the mayor stated could run were the target shooting, the game with the tin plates and the games at which one got a piece of jewelry every time." Mr. Orr said that he was not con nected with the police department dur ing lair week; that he had been elected chief for four months, and that during the fair he was on his vacation. He said that he had seen the "Thelma" show, the Igorrotes and the "Jolly Wid ows from Coney Island," and that ho Faw nothing objectionable in those shews. Cross-Exami nation. On cross-examination, Mr. Orr said that he knew what gambling was, and that if he had seen any, he would have stopped it without having been in structed by the inspection committee. lie said lie had not seen the state ment in the papers that the fair was to be run wide-open. The witness said he saw games only in passing. He said that the commit tee had arranged with him to place a limit of 25 cents on all games where jewelry was given in return, and that all ethers were broken up; tut it was very hard to keep them from spring ing up at another place. He said he could net stop a show unless there was complaint from some one. Witness said that Policeman McCall reported one game to him, and this was broken up at once. The solicitor asked Mr. Orr in regard to his having the pickpockets bonds re duced. The witness said he telephoned the police department in regard to this, in behalf of the manager of the show, and he told them that he had nothing whatever to do with the matter in an official capacity. The witness said Mayor Franklin had 'phoned him Saturday night before the fair that he had heard that the fair was to be run wide open, and that was the reason he asked the may-. or to appoint a committee of investiga tion. Secretary Creswell. Mr. C. M. Creswell said that he was the secretary of the Fair Association, and that his duties were, for the most part, in the office and that he sold the space lor the shows; that these were cold by the front foot, the costs of space being fixed according to loca-( tion. The witness said that he heard of on-1 ly one complaint as losing money, and he got this man's money back and stop ped the game. The witness said he saw "Thelma" and the "Gay Widows from Ccney Island" and that he did not consider these indecent. He said he did not encourage indecent shows or gambling games. Mr. Creswell was shown a circular letter, which had been sent out by the association to showmen and others, in which were the words: "We have ev-( cry assurance that all games that are reasonable will be permitted this year," and, asked if at the time this letter was sent that he did not know that Mr. Shannonhouse, who had heldj this sort of thing down, was not re, corder. i The witness said that he knew that Mr. Shannonhouse was no longer the recorder. On redirect examination, Mr. Guth rie asked the witness if he did not know that Recorder Smith was a high toned capable man.( This question was objected to on the part of the state, but was allowed, to show that witness had not been actuated in by reason of his knowledge of recorders.) The witness said he did not expect any favors from Chief Orr, and he did not think Recorder Smith would wink at the open conduct of the fair, any more than the former recorder. Mayor Franklin and Col. A. L. Smith, of the police committee of the board of public safety were the next witnesses. Uol. bmith testified as to going to the Iggorote show, an dsaid he had seen the same show at the St. Liouis Exposition, and he knew what it was like, and he had . carried his wife to see it. He said that the dress of the Iggorotes was prescribed by the United States government, and that he did not consider it indecent. Mayor on the Stand. Mayor Franklin said that he had1 telephoned Mr. W. S. Orr on Satur day before the fair that Mr. Clark son had said that he understood the fair was to be run wide open, and that he must not allow this. I went to the fair, and visited several of the shows, and investigated the games. The mayor said that he went in the "Merry Widow Show," and that he saw the manager, and told him "that a part of the show must be cut out. and the" spieler must cut out the vul gar talk in the front. He said that he sent several persons in this show later, and that this objectionable part had be stopped as he had ordered. Mr. Franklin said that it was hard for him to see anything wrong go ing on, as the shows and keepers oi the tables would get wind of his coming, and when he would get there would be nothing doing. Mayor Franklin when cross exam ined by Mr. Clarkson, said: "I can hear very well, Heriot, you need not holler at me." -j The mayor said that he had order- "A Roman Spectacle" from the famous Ben Hur at The Royal. ed seven or eight games broken up on Thursday. Mr. W. J. Chambers, treasurer of the fair, testified as to the attend ance during the week. He said that the attendance for the whole week was about 30,000. ank Talks Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Bryan have moved to the house on North Tryon street formerly occupied by Dr. Bar ron.
