GARNER FREED .
AND BERNARD
FOUND GUILTY
Atanta, Ga.—Following announce
ment that he would file * motion for
a new trial, Deputy Sheriff J. M.
Bernard, convicted in United States
district court Wednesday for con
spiracy to violate the Volstead act
and sentenced to two years in the
federal prison, furnished $5,000.00
bond late Wednesday' and was re
leased.
Sheriff E. S. Garner, indicted and
tried jointly with the deputy sher
iff, was acquitted. The case went to
the jury at I:2# e’clock, and the
verdict convicting Bernard and
freeing Sheriff Garner was reached
after a 20-aiinate deliberation.
Judge Robert T. Krvin at first
sentenced Bernard to a term of two
years and six months in the federal
penitentiary. Following adjournment
of court his attention was called to
a provision of section 3? of the penal
£><le, which places « two year tern
is the maximum penalty, and he re
turned to the bench and reduced the
sentence six months.
Attorneys Branch and Howard,
Len B. Guillebeau and the firm of
Oakes & Nix, of Lawrenceville, rep
resenting the Gwinnett county offi
cers, immediately informed the clerk
that a new trial for Bernard would
be asked. It is understood that Ber
nard will contend that the evidence
tendered by the government did not
warrant the verdict of guilty against
him.
A sensation was sprung Tuesday
when Deputy Sheriff Bennard charg
ed that “marked money” which the
government alleges was paid to him
in exchange for “protection” to
“Red” Tosh, alleged liquor runner,
had been “planted” on his person.
Another development of the day
was the dismissal of the case
against Deputy Sheriff Howard Gar
ner, son of the gheriff, who was
named a defendant in the joint in
dictment charging conspiracy. On
motion of defense attorneys, who
argued that the evidence tendered by
the government did not involve the
younger Garner, Judge Ervin an
nounced to thej ury that the deputy
would no longer be on trial.
The “frame-up” charge by Deputy
Sheriff Bennard was made when he
took the stand to relate to the jury
his story of the events resulting in
the indictment. He stated, that he
had signed the alleged confession in
the possession of the government
without reading it. According to the
alleged confession. Bennard received
SIOO fro Tosh in accordance with
an agreement which had the sanction
of Sheriff Garner. His story to the
jury in the main was a different ver
sion.
Bennard stated that he had been
a deputy sheriff for four years. He
first met “Red” Tosh in Lawrence
ville, he said, when Tosh told him
*
that he wanted to haul* whisky
through Gwinnett county.
“I told him ‘your job is to haul it.
but mine is to catch you,” Bennard
said. He denied making any agree
ment with Tosh, as alleegd by the
prosecution.
Explain Marked Money.
“A few minutes after Tosh left,”
he said, “somebody knocked on my
door and I opened it. There were
three or four men and they rushed in
and grabbed me. That man they call
Golding put his hand into my right
trousers pocket and jerked it out and
said, ‘here’s what we want.’ His
hand was closed when he put it in
my pocket and he knows the mon.ey
he .said he found in my pocket was
in his hand all the time.”
Quizzed as to the alleged confes
sion, Bennard said: “Golding told
me if I didn’t sign it he would take
me to the federal prison right away
and I told him I would sign anything
as I, wanted to go home. I didn’t
write it and I didn’t hear it red be
fore I signed it.”
Sheriff Garner, who took the stand
after Bennard, denied making any
agreement with Tosh, as had been al
leged by Tosh in his testimony. Fol
lowing his arrest, he said, Golding
handed him a paper, informed him
that Bennard had confessed and that
he declined to sign it. He denied
that, he had told Bennard he would
“back him up.”
Sheriff Approached.
He said that Tosh approached him
with a proposition to permit whisky
to* pass through Gwinnett county.
“Tosh came to me and said he was
going to haul whisky through Gwin
nett county,” Sheriff Garner said,
“and I said to him: ‘Go to it, young
sprout, and if I can I will catch
you.”

KNIFE STUCK IN HEAD
Cusseta, Ga.—The spectacle of a
man going around over town viith a
knife stuck in his head attracted
much attention here a few days ago,
especially when the knife resisted
the efforts of strong men who tried
to pull it out.
In a fight, Early McLister, a
nogro, plunged his knife two and
one-half inches into the head of
Scrap Franklyn, another negro. He
couldn’t pull it back out. Neither
could several other men. Finally
Franklyn went to a, doctor’s , .office.
The physician called in three husky
men, and although they put their
feet against the negroe’s shoulders,
the knife would not budge. As a
last resort a carpenter wos called
in. With a nail-puller and a block
of wood, he managed to prize the
blade out.
The negro complained little until
air struck the wound. He apparent
ly has recovered now, showing qp
evidence of his unusual experience.
Rev. M. A. Franklin Had Charge of
the Kiwanis Meeting Friday Night
and I'ut on an Excellent Program.
An unusually interesting meeting
of the Kiwanis Club was held last
Friday night, when Rev. Marvin A.
Franklin, pastor of the Methodist
church, had charge of the program.
The general topic for discussion
was “The Abiding Worth of the
Church,” and five speakers treated
the subject from different angles.
“The Church as an Ally of Law
and Order” was forcefully brought
out by Judge N. L. Hutchins.
“The Contribution of the Church
to Art and Literature” was spoken
to by Prof. C. O. Stubbs, who em
phasized the fact that the Bible was
the basis for all literature.
To Mr. C. R. Ware was assigned
“The Value of the Church in Ma
terial Things,” the speaker contend
ing that the church was worth as
much to any community as the value
of its taxable property.
Rev. L. E. Smith, pastor of the
First Baptist church, measured up
fully to his subject when he dis
cussed “The Spiritual Ministry of
the Church.”
President Quill Samraon closed
the debate when he treated the sub
ject 'of “Co-operation Among the
Churches,” showing that this was
necessary both from a moral and ma-
terial standpoint.
Col. R. N. Holt was welcomed as a
new member of the club, and he ex
pressed himself as being highly
pleased at becoming a member of
the order.
The members of the Methodist
Missionary Society served an ex
cellent luncheon.
The club will meet again on Fri
day night, February 29th, when Mr.
J. H. McGee will have charge of the
program.

4 VICTIMS ALLIED
ANTI-CHRIST
SAYS SLAYER
St. Petersburg, Fla.—Charged
with wiping out the four members of
his family, two by two, on dates ex
actly one year apart, Frank McDow
ell, 19 years old, Wednesday was
confined in the Pinellas county jail
at Clearwater to await trial in one of
the most amazing murder cases in
southern criminal records.
The youth signed a confession late
Wednesday admitting that he shot
and killed Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mc-
Dowell, his parents, last night and
that he caused the fire in which Ma
rion, 18, and Williameteen, 16, his
■two sisters, perished at Decatur, Ga.,
February 19, 1923.
In the story which he repeated
three times to Chief of Police Geo.
M. Coslick and Chief of Detectives
John Trotter, Frank said his mind
became “hazy” at times and that
during these spells he was obsessed
with the hallucinatioti that the mem
bers of his family were followers of
the anti-Christ.
Tracing the origin of these “hazy”
spells, Frank said that when he was
12 years old he blasphemed the
“Holy Ghost” and that since that
time he has been trying to expiate
his sin, but he did not explain of
wh«t this “blasphemy” consisted
When questioned by Chief Cos
lick as to whether or not he had com
mitted the murder to gain financial
ly, his reply was in the negative and
he reiterated the statement that the
motive was purely religious and he
did not realize that the people he
was firing at were his parents.
John McDowell, the father, was
50 years of age. He was born in
Monticello, where he spent his boy
hood. During his youth he entered
the newspaper business. He was
.widely known among weekly news
paper circles. He was editor of the
Monroe Advertiser at Forsyth, and
was later connected with paper at
Acworth before acquiring The De-
Kalb New Era. He hdd been pro
prietor of the Decatur paper for
five years when his daughters lost
their lives.
TO RAISE MONEY

day night to issue bonds in the sum
of $40,000. These bonds will be us

the erection of a school auditorium.
The amount to be expended on
each improvement is to be figured
out by the finance committee before
the next regular meeting night which
will be February 18.
A number of citizens were present
at this meeting of the council and all
expressed themselves as in fa\ or of

they will be. rewarded with success.
The bond issue will be amply large

TRAINS, AUTOS, MOVIES
COLLARS, TIES AND GUM
ALL STRANGERS TO HIM
Liberty, Mo. —Gils Bishop, who
was 70 years old Sunday, lives in
the house here in which he was born
and says he has never ridden on a
railroad train, an automobile or
other mechanical contrivance and
has never talked bver a telephone.
Mr. Bishop also says he never
worn a collar or neck tie and has
never chewed gum, eaten ice cream
or seen a motion picture. t
The aged man has never beheld
a building more than four stories
high. He has visited Kansas City
20 miles away, only once. That was
about sisty years ago.
“I never saw any sensd in doing
things that are unnecessary,” he
explained.
SCHOOL MEETING
AT CENTERVILLE
Last Thursday afternoon there
was held at Centerville school house
a meeting that marks an epoch in the
progress of the community.
A few months ago the principal of
the school, the trustees, and some of
the other patrons initiated a move
ment to build a modern school house
and equip it with all tilings neces
sary in a material way to make an
up to date school. The otHhr teach
ers and even the school children
quickly caught the spirit and are do
ing all tha t is within their power
ta further the eause. Some prelim
inary meetings Were held, in which
the movement was indorsed and
many pledges in the way of work
and material Were made. Some
promised to give a certain amount of
timber, same agreed to saw the tim
ber. and others offered to dress the
lumber. Some es the lumber has al
ready been laid down on the yard.
Funds for the completion of the
work will b« raised by methods not
yet decided upon.
The objects of the meeting last
Thursday ware to create, if possible,
a little more enthusiasm, to have a
good time socially, and, incidentally,
to raise a little money to help the
project along. Since every candi
date announced for county office was
specially invited to attend and twen
ty-two, I am told, were present; it
seemed to some extent like a candi
dates’ meeting.
About 2 o’clock the school and the
visitors assembled in the school
house, Principal W. C. Britt having
charge of the meeting. Every can
didate was by turn called upon for
an address and most of them re
sponded. Each talk was suited to
the occasion and tended to the in
spiration of the pupils and to the
encouragement of the patrons in
their most praiseworthy undertak
ing. All thought of one’s race, for
the time, seemed to have been en
tirely forgotten.
The speaking over, all repaired to
the playgrounds, where a most high
ly interesting game of basketball
was played between the High school
boys from Grayson and those of
Centerville. The game was spirited
from start to finish and many skill
ful plays were made on both sides,
to the delight of the spectators.
Before and during the game the
school boys and girls were very ac
tive in selling tickets for the game,
home-prepared candies, peanuts and
delicious sandwiches. In this work
every child proved a genuine booster
for his school. A neat little sum was
realized from the sales. The candi
dates present were especially liberal
in their purchases.
After the game the candidates and
other visitors were called into the
house, seated, and served with hot
chocolate and salad 1 sandwiches, as
a compliment. When the repast was
finished, Candidate Busha, of Bu
ford, arose and in a few happy re
marks praised the good citizens of
Centerville for their genuine hos
pitality, their progressiveness, and
their rare community spirit and co
operation. He proposed that a col
lection be taken among the candi
dates in appreciation of their kindly
treatment. Candidates, Mrs. Hagood,
Judge Robinson, Mr. Tom Sammon,
in a few complimentary remarks, in
dorsed the proposition. Several dol
lars were added to the collection al
ready mentioned, all of which to
taled $84.00.
The school at Centerville deserves
high praise. The progress that
school has made within the past year
is remarkable. It has a -large at
tendance in the elementary grades
taught by three able teachers, and,
in addition, has built up a high
-school department of nearly thirty
pupils, requiring the services of the
principal for practically his whole
time. The school has outgrown its
house. The children are expecting
a better house. Even nrw they are
experiencing much joy in anticipa
tion of a new building. It would be
a pity to disappoint them. But they
will not be disappointed. Their par
ents have already proved their will
ingness to make the sacrifice.
MISTAKE IN NAME.
Through a typographical error the
name of Mr. James P. Mason, of
Rockbridge, was inserted “James A.

Two Candidates Are in the Running
for the Georgia Delegation to the
National Convention^—Primary 19.
*
Atlanta, Ga., February 18.—The
name of Senator Oscar W. Under
wood, of Alabama, is the first to oe
filed with the secretary of the Geor
gia state democratic executive com
mittee as a candidate for president in
the primary on March 19th. This
official action was taken by Mr. R.
Cuyler Gordon, general manager f&r
Senator Underwood’s campaign in
Georgia, on Wednesday, the petition
being accompanied by a long list of
registered white voters from differ
ent parts of the state.
In a personal letter to Mr. Gordon,
Senator Underwood declares that he
■is a thirty-third degree Mason, in
good standing, trat he, his wife and
two sons are members of the Episco
pal church, he having been a member
of that chuhch since Ke was eighteen
years of age. M .«~ .
Senator Underwood is a distin
guished citizen of our sister state of
Alabama, and has many thousands
of loyal friends in Georgia who, ap
preciating his . conspicuous service,
during twenty-nine years as a mem
ber of the national congress, will be
glad to rally to his support in the
primary on March 19th. Senator Un
derwood is known and appreciated as
one of the great leaders of his party,
as well as one of the foremost states
men of his time. His record in the
house and senate has been such as to
distinguish him as a man of great
vision, broad purpose and unswerving
devotion to the national welfare at
all times.
The Underwood committee hopes
that the sentor may be able to leave
his arduous duties in Washington
long enough to make one or two
speeches in Georgia before the pri
mary in March.
A great deal of favorable com
ment on the Underwood candidacy
has been brought out by a recent
declaration of former Congressman
Wm. T. Brantley, that “if Underwood
can come out of the south with any
thing like a general support, his
nomination is reasonably certain.”
The first public speech in the Geor
gia L T nderwood campaign was made
by Col. H. H. Elders, president of
Friday evening, to a large and en
second speech will be made at Mon
thusiastic audience. Col. Elders’
roe, Walton county, on Monday, and
he anticipates making several other
addresses at different points during
the campaign.
The Underwood campaign in Geor
gia is gathering momentum with
every passing day, and the senator’s
leaders express perfect confidence as
to the result on March 19th.

linos. L HARRIS
ANNOUNCESFOR
REELECTION.,.,
We publish in this issue the an
nouncement of Thomas L. Harris as
a candidate at the March primary
for re-eection as a member of the
board of county commissioners.
Mr. Harris, who is now serving on
the board and is clerk of same,
states that he is making thia race
upon the record which we believe is
equalled by only a few commission
ers of the state in the matter of
ecomony and achievement
No county in Georgia has more of
graded and top soiled roads than
Gwinnett, yet it has absolutely no
bonded indebtedness to pay taxes
upon.
All the adjoining counties have
made large issues of road bonds,
the interest upon which imposes a
heavy burden of taxation upon her
people.
DeKalb has issued fully SIOO,OOO of
such bonds, Hall $60,000, Waltott
{40,000 and Jackson $40,000
During the present adroinstration
over seventy-five miles of Gwinnett
roads have been graded and top
soiled and in selecting these roads
the board has been controlled by the
local conditions in the various sec
tions of the county. Roads have
been soiled with the idea in mind of
giving the greatest outlet shore need
ed most for marketing purposes and
as a matter of convenience to the
farmers during the boll weevil
years. -
It has been the policy of the hoard
of which Mr. Harris has so ably
served as clerk, to purchase all
supplies possible from the farmers
of Gwinnett thus keeping many
dollars in the county that would
otherwise go to the western states.
This amount is greater than one
jvould suppose being nearly $20,000
fluring the last three years.
Convicts being worked under the
direction of the board during the
three years have been fed an aver
age cost of only 25 cents per day
and mules at a cost of 47 cents per
day. The pauper farm, with twenty
two intimates, is being maintained
at a rate of $75.00 each per year
including the salaries of the keepers.
Other departments, such as build
ings and bridges, have been kept in
excellent shape at a reasonable out
lay of money.
The financial affairs of the county
have been handled in good shape
and a Gwinnett county warrent,
which once had to be sold, or cashed,
at a discount, can now be handled
at any bank at par value. This
high standard of business confidence
is expected to be maintained with
the banking industry of the county.
It is a known fact that the only way
this can be accomplished is by the
board of county commissioners keep
ing the county out of debt.
Among the new proqeets recently
passed by the present board for
needed improvement is a graded
and soiled road from suwanee to the
Peachtree road, a distance cf two
and one-half miles. This road has
been badly needed for some time.
Also for the top-soiling of the road
from Buford to the Chattahoochee
river on the Cumming road. Mr.
Harris states that in so far as he is
able that it is the intention to give
each part of the county a fair dis
tribution of the funds of the county
ip the matter of road work and
other public improvements.
Tom Harris takes a great interest
in the affairs of the county and has
many friends who will be glad to -ee
his announcement for re-election.
