TWO TEAKS FOK W.
CAKTER. ----- —
Pica Made By Mr. W.
Pease—Says Money Went
Into Populist Fund.
Judge Speer didn’t Place
Confidence in Statement that
Mouey was Used by Dime
tion of the Populist
Campaign Committee.
Savannah Pmss.
This morning Judge Speer in
in the United States court heard
the pleas of those who have been
indicted by the United States
grand jury at this session. Some
of those indicted entered pleas
of not guilty, though many con¬
sented to plead guilty and thus
secure sentence of lesser magni¬
tude than might be imposed up¬
on them should the}’ be convict¬
ed by a petit jury and then pre¬
sented to the court for sentence.
Among those win i catered a
plea of guilty wet— \V. F Car¬
ter, ex-postmaster at Meldrim,
who was short in his accounts
with tin? government to the ex¬
tent of $>o<J. The public is well
acquainted with Carter’s case
and l.iii-5 claim that the Populist
party executive committee ad¬
vised him to take i in* money and
use it in the ] ist state campaign.
Carter was state chairman of
the party and in a large meas¬
ure directed t he campaign. He
was sente;:.-ed ;•.> t wo years in
the Ohio penitentiary by Judge
Speer.
Although he intended pleading
guilty the accused was repre¬
by two attorneys--Alessrs.
W. U. Hartridge and William
Pease, District. Attorney Ma¬
rion Erwin appeared for the
United States and annonced to
the court that the money Carter
was accused of having taken had
been repaid to the govern
the bondsmen of the
postmaster. Mr. Hartridge fol¬
Mr. Erwin with a state¬
ment. He said that he asked
permission to say a few words in
behalf to show that there
were mitigating circumstances in
with the case. The
taken, he said, was not
used by the defendant for him¬
nor has he received any ben¬
from it. That, Mr. Hari¬
ri I ge said. he knew was no ex¬
for the commission of the
crime. He merely mentioned it
to show that the prisoner had
not profited by bis misdeeds.
Carter, he said, was in po»r
health and had been in poor
health for some rime. He lnts a
large family of six dependent
upon him. Many of Ids chil¬
dren are small. In the past he
he has had a good record and an
honest, upright life. He did not
take the money from,he govern
meat for himself, but forotheis.
The bondsmen had made tin
shortage good and the aftprhey
asked the court to make tile sen
teiuse a.*, light as possible. j [ H
was sure it would be a case 0 f
mercy not misapplied *
. .
°
seemed . to touch , tender .
a spot m
the heart of the judge and had
the defendant been sentenced
then it is doubtful if he would
have ha(l , 0 p;iy snoh :l )>>n altv
as was imposed upon him. Mr.
Pease followed Mr. Hartridge.
lie said he would also ask for
the mercy of the court. He
taken the pains, he said to
post hiinaclf on the case arul
he Wanted to relate the history
of it to the court. The accused
was postmaster at Meldrim
when the Populist state
paignwason. He was a
in the party. Men who said
they were his friends in
county—
“Not county: state,”
rupted Carter, tugging at
coutslwvw of hi# attorney.
Mr. Pease made the
and proceeded with his plea.
‘‘His friends in the state told
him,” he continued, “that if
they had funds they could win
the light against the opposing
party in Georgia. They were
sure they could succeed if they
had the cash. They painted a
beautiful picture to Carter. He
was promised a good office—one
that would pay well. He listen¬
ed to the tempters and gave
them the, money and, of course.
h« is guilty of the misappropri¬
ation of funds. Now he is be¬
fore you without a dollar. lie
has a large family dependent up¬
on him. When he accepted the
.office of postmaster at Aleldrim
he was comfortably fixed. Now
want, and hunger stare lus fam¬
ily in the face. The campaign
closed. He called upon his
friends to respond to his aid as
they had promised, but not one
would do so. AVhere are they
to-day? They are not here.
They hear none of his cries or
petitions for aid.”
Here Judge Speer stopped the
lawyer. He told him the per¬
sons he was calling upon wen
mythical so far as the court va
concerned. He asked what
proofs he had that the Populists
had advised Carter to take t e'
money, lie suggested that tin
attorney had best withdraw the
pie;*., he was making. He
was aggravating the case.
W hen a mhu takes
funds to help along a politi¬
cal party and admits it, it adds
to the gravity of the offense. He
suggested that Mr. Cease ’Iffei- with
had
had stated the facts correctly lie
did not see how he could help
giving the defendant the full
penalty of the law. Mr. Hart
ridge came to Mr. Pease’s assis¬
tance and smoot hed over some of
the things lie had remarked to
the court.
Judge Speer ordered the ac¬
cused to stand and sentenced
him. In doing so he said that
the offense to which Carter had
pleaded guilty was a very ser¬
ious one. Doubtless when the
money was taken lie believed he
could put it back when it; was
needed.
“From what lms boon said of
you to me by several parties,
among others the chancellor of
the University of Georgia, you
are not a bad man,” t he judge
continued. ‘ 'Your offense is so
serious that f could sentence
you to the penitentiary for ten
years, as well as sentence you to
pay back the full mount you
were short. I a:n sorry to hear
of your family; sorry, indeed,
It. distresses me to know of their

Carter was laken b ck to
after writing a note to a
her of lus family telling of his
sentence ’
