.Evans was standing In the outer
office of the Governor when he made
these remarks to several listeners.
He talked freely of the dispensary
situation and reiterated much that he
had said In previous statements.
He reiterated especially his re
marks. quoted a few days ago, that
if the dispensary houses were guilty
of wrongdoing In State dispensary
days they are now guilty of the same,
as the county dispensaries are still
buying from many of the same
houses. “A perusal of the published
lists will show this," added Evans.
Evans aald: “The county dispen

At the time also Evans said:

Newberry and went direct to the Gov

local hotel and putting his suit case
up. He was In a Jovial mood.
In a few minutes John Pell TosrlM
entered the office. Governor Blease
was engaged at the time and the vis
itors chatted In the outer office.
It so happened that Mose H. Mob
ley. now dispensary auditor, who was
chief bookkeeper In State dispensary
days, was In the office at the time.
Evans wants to be tried, he said.
He will not permit the case to be
dropped "If you were Indicted for
a crime wouldn’t you like to be tried,
so that, if innocent, you could be vin

him.
