, - ■ THJVmacON TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORHUTO, OCTOBER 21, 1894 \ CHARGED WITH MALPRACTICE Justico of tlie roaco George W. Holmes and Constable J. W. Ford Accosed. BOTH BIDES OF THE CASE GIVEN. Charge, ,nd Counter Charge. Dlude Thai Can Only Do Settled by the Court, ->Ca„ will Be Tried Monday 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. Ordinary TVlley. who heard the writ of ih'abeas corpus, stated to a reporter ■yesterday 'that the evidence before .. . it. — a n» n Vho-m «irna nilT THE WORLHF TRADE fteports by Wire From the Great Markets. ’’’POCK8 AND BONDS.

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. LAMSON BHOfl.'
