I Denver. Criminal charges were
: filed against James H. Carr. secretary
of state who resigned under fire in
the Colorado liquor scandal. Infor
mation filed in district court charged
Carr, William E. O'Toole, one of the
central figures in the scandal and
Ed Leiscnring, owner of a drug firm
here, with conspiracy to commit a
misdemeanor, "to wit, extortion."
Basis for the information. District
Attorney Wettengel said, was an al
leged attempt of O'Toole to "shake
down" a Denver wholesale drug firm,
McKesson-Robbins, for 53,000 in re
turn for which the company was to
receive a liquor retail license sus
pended for failure to pay liquor taxes.
The taxes, later determined to be
about $2,000, were compromised by
Carr at $3,000.
NO MORE KENTUCKY DUELS
Frankfort, Ky. Before Albert
Benjamin Chandler became governor
of Kentucky he had to swear solemn
ly he never fought a duel with dead
ly weapons, nor sent or accepted a
challenge, nor acted as a second at a
duel. The oath recited by the S7
year old governor, brought a smile
to the throng about the capitol steps.
But it was serious business when the
farmers of the third constitution in
1S50, in a spirit of reform, required
the oath of state officials to outlaw
dueling among politicians. Writers
of the present constitution in 1691
retained the oath.
