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 co,lllirion - It is one of the sad anc C)il * disusing ll e t,iat men features ..ppear of before "ho command our pi|y^ l >‘ ou t( > tw ° years im l ) nsorime " t :lIld tlle l ,a vment t0 - the i government of the amount you aro short.” Carter was laken b ck to after writing a note to a her of lus family telling of his sentence ’ Sale.
