ALLEGED POLYGAMIST WILL
GET HEARING JUNE 22ND.
Requisition Papers Signed by Governor Slaton
Monday Morning—Will Fight With
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
A. L. Sutton, a young man from
Montgomery, Ala., who it is said
has been muchly married, will be
heard before Judge Jones on the
22nd on the whys and wherefores of
not being returned to Alabama to
answer the charge of bigamy.
Requisition papers were signed by
the governor Monday, Sutton saying
that if the Governor should sign the
papers he would not fight the case,
but when Sheriff Johnson, of Ala
bama, and McCarley, a brother of
Sutton’s last wife, arrived in the
city to carry him back, he refused
to go. Col. B. P. Gaillard has been
employed by Sutton to fight the
case.
Sutton, it is alleged, first married
Miss Blanche Hill of Dalton; later
deserting her, he went to Mont
gomery, where he won the affec
tions of Miss Susie Carley, who he
later married. Staying with her
about a week, he took abrupt leave
and landed at New Holland. He
was trailed here by the Alabama
Sheriff, who ordered Sheriff Spencer
to arrest and hold Sutton until he
could get here.
Upon the sheriff’s arrival, Sutton
flatly refused to go back without
requisition papers. The papers
were taken out, but in the mean
time Sutton employed counsel to
fight the proceedings.
Sutton, when leaving Alabama,
brought a diamond ring with him
that belonged to his last wife. He
had the ring cut to fit his own finger,
and when landing at New Holland
he was in financial embarrasment,
it is said, and “soaked” the ring for
aIU spot. And this ring gave the
Sheriff and the young wife’s brother
about as much trouble as Sutton.
Sutton, not knowing anybody at
New Holland, had given the ring to
a young man named Rice to procure
the money for him. Rice, being
unable to raise the money, had
passed it on to another fellow named
Cobb, the latter getting the money
for Sutton.
And it was with some difficulty
that they eventually got to where
the ring was “soaking.”
Sutton is a young man about
twenty-five years old and was en
gaged at New Holland as a loom
fixer when he was arrested.
Later he decided to return to Ala
bama without fighting the case, and
Sheriff Johnson left with him Tues
day afternoon.
In Memory
Os my father. Cicero Rogers, who
departed this life May 30, 1914.
Dear father, how we miss hin'i,
hut we know tliai he has gone to a
brighter home wher • no pain of
death or sorrow can <• >me. He has
joined the angel band and is resting
safely at the feet of Je-us with dear
mother and other loved ones who
have gone on before. For his last
warning to u- on this earth was
pointing heavenward and beckoning
us to meet him up there.
Oh, won’t that be a great reunion,
when we all meet around that Great
White Throne and dwell with Christ
and His Angels forevermore!
He was an old soldier of the Civil
war, and now he has answered the
bugle call that is fast filling the
Great Beyond.
He has gone, our dear father,
never more to return. He shall
sleep a peaceful slumber till the
resurrection morn, and then, dear
brothers, sisters and stepmother,
may we meet at the river where
there will be songs of gladness and
praises forevermore!
As we look through a cloud of tears
and grieve
For a soul who from us has taken
leave,
May we lift our heads, and with
faces bright
Press forward fighting for the Truth
and Right!
His soul passed into Peace, his body
’neath the sod.
Precious in the sight of God was this
gentle slipping.
No more tears of sorrow, no more
of pain!
“Blessed Lord help us to live that
we may meet again!”
O mysteries of Death unsolved, even
unto this day!
Thy ways we soon shall know, be
cause we, too. shall pass away.
On that endless morning, when the
faithful saved by Grace
Open eyes to Heaven’s glory, shall
see our Father's face.
Mrs. Hester Carter.

AFTER STEALING HAM
WHICH MADE HIM SICK
HE CONFESSED TO THEFT
Young Man From Royston Entered Store of
Tom Hanie and Stole Eatables that
Hurt Conscience and Stomach.
A young man giving his name a g
Claud Waters and saying that he
was from Royston gave himself up
to Sheriff Spencer this morning, ac
knowledging that he burglarized
the the store of Tom Hanie at the
Southern depot Tuesday night.
Three other young men w’ere ar
rested on suspician of the crime and
were in jail pending a preliminary
hearing, when Waters, being con
science striken. and having eaten so
much of a ham and other eatables
that he had taken from the store
that he thought that he was going
to die, and immediately went to
Sheriff Spencer this morning with a
confession.
A peculiar incident in the case is
that one young man already held
had confessed, and implicated two
other young men, who were also
being held. After Waters made the
confession the other young man re
pudiated his first story and proved
an alibi, but he is being held on
some other charge, while the two
young men implicated have been
turned loose.
Waters said that he was so hungry
that he would have broken in any
place where he could find something
to eat.
He asked the Sheriff to send him
to the reformatory, but owing to his
age it is thought that he can not get
into this institution for boys. He
looks to be about 25 years old.

IT’S A PAINFUL DUTY
TO FINE SPEEDERS—THEY
OUGHT TO QUIT SPEEDING.
“/ do wish the Newspapers Could Get
Speeding Stopped—l'm Tired of
Fining My Best Friends." —Mayor
Rudolph.
There w’ere a number of cases be
fore the Mayor for airing Tuesday
afternoon, most of which were for
breaking the city’s Speed ordinance.
Every ease, however, plead guilty
and paid fines.
It was then that the Mayor told
us that he was tired of fining his
best friends, and not only his best
friends, but everybody else that is
guilty of this offence.
This speeding of automobiles is
an awful thing. And it does seem
that people would learn—but some
how they won’t. And the most
lamentable fact of the story is, that
they plead guilty when caught.
Plead guilty to endangering their
own lives and the lives of others by
running their automobiles out of
control.
Automobile drivers go down Main
street at the rate of forty miles an
hour, and should the steeringgear
of the automobile break, it would
mean instant death to those in the
machine over one of the embank
ments; yet, knowing this, many per
sist in running as fast as their cars
will carry them.
They know that they are breaking
the law in doing it, and that means
a fine if the officers see them, yet
they persist in doing it. They know
that should some pedestrian step
into the street in front of them it
would mean instant death to the
hapless one, yet they persist in
doing it.
It is a proposition that can only
be solved by the auto drivers of the
city. Fining them seems to do no
good.
Every driver who once kills some
body will be careful thereafter.
But who wants to be killed to make
a careful chauffeur?
