Justico of tlie roaco George W. Holmes
and Constable J. W. Ford
Accosed.
BOTH BIDES OF THE CASE GIVEN.

at Gerdlu«*c Court* v.
Warrants charging Justice of the Peace
Georgy w. Holmes and Constable J. W.
Ford 'with mal-practlee In office were
yesterday sworn hut before Justice Ger-
idlne by Mr. P. B. Beckham, and a hear
ing of their case was set for Monday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock.
The Telegraph gave yesterday morn
ing the brief outline of the case, which
whs, In effect, that Beckham had been
arrostod. by Constable Ford on a - war
rant sworn out by one Uamtoereon, who
notv turns out to be a woman, charg
ing htm with larceny. Beckham gave
ybond and waived trial, demanding In
dictment by th e-grand jury. This, it was
thought, put an end to the matter until
the grand Jury meets on Monday week:
but Peckham had not more than re
turned to his work when Ford reap
peared with a possessory warrant and
rearrcsted him. Afterwords Beckham
was put In jail, and remained there un
til released by Ordinary. Wiley day be
fore yesterday on a writ of habeas cor
pus. These are the facts to which all
parties concerned agree, but the state
ments made by Mr. Means and Mr.
Beckham, that Beckham was arrested
for court casts after the proseoutor had
been satisfied. Is emphatically denied
by Justice iHolmes in the following
stibng card:
Macon. G*„ Oct. 20. 1894.—Editor Ma
con Telegraph: In’ your issue of this
morning, under the heading or "Re
leased on Habeas Corpus—A 26 Cents
Reflector Causes a Whole.LV>t of Trou
ble," your Krt'ormant gave you a gross
and malicious-misrepresentation of facts
ns recited that 1 cannot allow to pass
unnoticed. A few days ago a Mrs. Fan
nie Latnberson came to my office, and,
upon her representations, 1 Issued a
Warrant for one P. T. Beckham, charg
ing him with "larffeny.” Mr. Beckham
was arrested by Bailiff J. W. Ford and
brought before mo tor trial, accompa
nied -by Mr. J. F. Means. Before the
case was allied. Mr. ’ Means waived
commitment, give bond and let the case
go before -the grand. Jury, which was
(lone. After that, on the same day,
Mrs. Bamberson took out a -possessory
warrant against Beckham to recover a
lamp, the property alRsed to have been
stolen in the first warrant. Mr. Beck
ham was arrested under this second
warrant and -brought into cour-t, but
failed or refused to produce the proper
ty. The prosecutrix not being readi-
far trial, on account of absent witness
es. and ithe case having to be postponed
on that account. Judge Means proffered
bbnd for his appearance, whioh was
properly refused, under section 4038 of
• the Code of Georgia., The article in
question recites that Mr. Means ten
dered me 60 cents In payment for the
l.inip. and I refused to accojjt It. That
Is true: and the grounds of refusal were
plainly stated to him at the time, and
were these: First, the prosecutrix was
not present to acoerot or -reject the ten-
der; second, -without her presence I had
}to means bf ascertaining the value of
the lamp, or of knowing whether she
would accent It or not. The statement
tha-t I sent him to Jail for refusal to pay
$2.60 costs on the possessory warrant 13
--yi damnable and malicious He manufac-
ftmed out of whole cloth -by some fer
tile genius, which genius, I hope, yet
to overhaul in his mad career. I never
mentioned costs to anybody to that case
tir any other case bf a criminal nature
that has ever come -before me. I simply
did what the law directed me to do,
and tf the law Is arbitrary and harsh.
I am not responsible for It. I am will
ing to go -before any tribunal for an
Investigation, and abide tho result. Re
spectfully. Geo. TV. Holmes.
i - N. P. and Ex-off. J. P.
Please give this as prominent a place
as you gave -the other, and oblige,
*' G. W. H.
(MR. MEANS REPUTES.
The nature of this card was explained
to Mr. Means, who deMcd the state
ment contained therein -that he appear
cd as a lawyer for Beckham, and said
he only went with him as a friend and
bondsman, he having been reared In the
name county with Beckham. Mr. Means
made .the following statement to the
Telegraph, and authorized It to be used
os coming from htm:
« To -the Editor of the Telegraph: You
ask we what I know of tho cases
against Mr. T. M. Beckham In Mr.
Holmes' court. My connection with
Ithe cases came about !n this way. Mr.
Beckham, who is foreman for Brooks
Brothers, is « native of pike county,
and so am I, and when he had a ,,'ar
ia t sworn out fof -aim. charging -him
with larceny of a lamp reflector of the
value of 25 cents, he oume to my office
and asked me to stand his bond so as
to keep out of jalL f wait with him
to Mr. Holmes' office, and when we
got there, the prosecutor was there,
tihe keeps a little Btand on Bridge row
nud told mo that she put the. reflector
in the back of ilr. Beckham’s buggy
und asked him, as a favor fto her. To
leave it ?jt her place on Bridge row, and
that In? did not do ’so. Air. Beckham
stated that he forgot all about the re
flector aud sent his buggy to the stable
by a negro, and that It bud been stolen
out of It or removed 'by some one,/ind
that bo nover even had his hands on
It. That he was willing to pay any
loss caused*by his can-leanness, but that
Constable Ford had demanded of him
*4.40 cost In the presence of Mr. Holmes
and be was not willing to pay fhls cost.
I saw at once That ATr. Beckham had
Dot been gulKy of any crime and asked
Mr. Holmes to fix his bond before the
appearance of tho grand lury, which
hedld, and I signed It Mr. Beckham
told the prosecutor that he would pay
the value of the reflector If she would
accept It, us his neglect bad caused
her to lose It, but she refused to ac
cept 60 cents pay tor it, encLJlr. Beck
ham and I left Mr. Holmes' office. One
hour afterward Mr. Beckham was ar
rested on a possessory warrant. He
then gave a 76 coats lamp ito the pros
ecutor und told Constable 'Ford be
would pay him $2.60 the next day, and
Ford turned him loose ou that prom
ise. Two days later Constable Ford
went to Air. Beckham’s place of bus
iness and demanded $2.50 cost on the
last warrant and Air. Beckham did not
pay It, and was rearrcsted -and car
ried to ALr. Holmes’ office. I went to
Air. Holmes’ office again at Beckham’s
request -and offered to stand Mr. Beck-
hum’s bond, and Air. Holmes refused to
take any bond at all, and said that he
would not give Mr. Beckham a hearing
until the prosecutor's brother. Walter
Jones, who was absent in Florida, could
return to Macon, and Constable Ford
carried Aid. Beckham end put him In
Jail. Mr. Beckham sent won! to me
from the Jail by Air. Brantley to get
him a lawyer and have him taken out
-CpUB. I
Bipd he
4 Jfe
employed Attorney Stroheclf
carried the case before Ordti.
Wiley, aud (Mr. Beckham , _■
charged from Jail, because ho w*
gaily held there for the $2.50 c-
the possessory warrant case. I amir,
related -to Mr. Beckham or any of th .,
Parties, and have no Interest In the ys
case, further than to help an Innocent
man out of Jail. After Mr. Beckham
was discharged he and his lawyer went
to JUstioe Gerdlne’s office and had war
rants issued for Mr. Holmes and Air.
Ford, and I -have been jwtlfled to ap
pear as a witness at Justice aerdlne’s
court at 3 p. m. Monday. Mr. J. N.
Ford brought Mr Beckham to my office
five minutes before he -put him In Jail
Ond offered to release him If lie would
pay $2.60 cost, and I told Ford he
knew better 'than to put Beckham In
Jail, and he carried him off to Jail.
J. F. Means.
I have read the above statement nnd
It is correct. J. M. Beckham.
Beckham was seen by a Telegraph
reporter yesterday, and stated that the
article -In the Telegraph way absolutely
correct, but did -not make -the case as
bad against the Justice and constable
as It really was. He Bays that after he
was arrested oa the possessory war
rant he went to -the Lammerson wo
man, in company wlth_Ford, and car
ried her a 75 cents lamp. The woman
expressed perfect satisfaction and 'told
Ford she would not prosecutothe case.
Ford then asked who would pay tho
cost. The woman said she did not
have the money, and Beckham said he
would pay ft, but told Ford he did not
have 'the money with him. They left
the woman's house and went.back to
Justice Holmes' office, and while there
he told Ford If ho would accompany
him down the street he would get the
money. Ford told him It mas neces
sary, as he believed him to bo a ’’white
man,” and 'he could pay tho money
next day. He agreed nnd left the oi
lier. Afterwards he stated the ense to
some of his friends nnd they advised
him not 'to pay the cost, us the whole
proceeding looked like persecution.
Tho next dhy he did not pay tho money
and Ford again arrested him, 'telling
him at the time that he must pay the
cost or go to jail. He refused to pay,
and althodgh he offered to give bond
it was not accepted 'and he was put In
Jail. -Mr. Beckham further states that
the woman told him she was advised
to have the warrants issued against
him by Ford. The third time be Was
arrested, he says, wus not on the pos
sessory warrant, ns that had been
satisfied, but that Ford stated to him
that he was arrested for failure to pay
the costs of court.

of ih'abeas corpus, stated to a reporter

CHICAGO OAAXN AND PROVISION.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—For Saturday Wheat
hod a strong, active session, the specula
tive contingent Imbibing courage from tho
exports and rumors of exports. Yester
day’s buying at tho seaboard was still
the subject of talk «t the opening today,
nnd before the close there were rumori
of bids on largu quantities at San Fran-
vlaco which lifted prices a few fractions
higher. The reporto from tho Padfla
coast were received with a certain
amount- of doubt, but they nevertheless
hod some effect. “Calls” checked the ad
vance for a time, but tho selling against
thoso privileges was finally exhausted
and prices made further gains. Decem
ber wheat opened at W, sold between 63%
and 62%, closing at 63%a%-%a% of a cent
higher than yesterday. Cosh wheat was
firm, Bales averaging % a cent per bushel
higher.
Corn.—A moderate business in this ce
real was transacted on the wheat gossip.
May com opened at 50. sold between 49%
and 50%. closing at tho latter—% a cent
higher than yesterday. Oaoh corn was V 4
to % a cent per bushel higher.
Oats did not present any greater ac-
tivlty than In usually seen on Saturday.
Fluctuations were narrow, with tho tone
of wheat and com ruling them. May
closed a shade better than yesterday.
CaBh oata were firm without change In
quotations.
Provisions.—There seems to bo no money
In product on account of the continued
weakness and depressln in tho live hog
market. Further loss to prices at the
yards this morning waa followed by con
sistent weakness In provisions. The
trength In grain before the close caused
a slight Improvement, January pork clos
ing 7% cents higher than yesterday, Jan
uary lard a shade lower and January ribs
a fraction higher.
