PETITION FILED TO
PUT PRESIDENT ON
PRIMARY BALLOT
(Continued From Page 1.)
cerned, any one is welcome to enter
the Georgia primaries who desires
to do so.
’ “The Democratic party faces in
the coming election a crisis in its
history. I have no doubt that the
great majority of the American peo
ple are opposed to the League of Na
tions as it was brought back by
President Wilson from Paris. As
they understand its provisions the
.number of those opposed to its pres
ent form will constantly increase.
There is a determined effort by cer
tain parties to indorse the League
of Nations at San Francisco without
reservations, and to commit the
party to a policy that would be in
defensible and destructive.
As Georgia will be one of the. first
states to act upon this subject, it
is most important that we set the
example of declining to approve the
League of Nations covenant as it was
brought back from Paris. If the peo
ple of the state understand it they
will join me in my opposition to
it as it was written.
“The president had four men whom
he selected to act with him at the
Paris conference. They were Secre
tary Lansing. General Bliss, Mr.
White and Mr. House. All four of
these men disagreed with the presi
dent about the terms of the league,
and the president alone, of all our
representatives, has stood for it. The
plan of the league, as carried over
by the president, was abandoned, and
the final covenant was built upon
the plan prepared by General Smuts,
a British subject of South Africa.”

ARDENT LETTER TO
MRS?BRADSTREET
IS READ IN COURT
(Continued from Page 1)
enlivened the morning proceedings.
Judge John B. Hutcheson, 'presiding,
had to rap to stop the laughter. The
defendant seemed to enjoy the tun
as much as anyone, chuckling and
rubbing his hands. His wife and
mother were again in court this
morning, but his little girl, Emily,
was not present.
During the morning the remains of
the bank’s books, a charred and
scorched pile, were brought into
court and placed on a table down in
front.
The first witness Wednesday morn
ing was J. R. Dearth, of the super
intendent’s office of »the Western
Union Telegraph company of At
lanta. He produced records of his
department showing money sent by
Green this year to Mrs. Bradstreet
by wire, with other telegrams from
Green to Mrs. Bradstreet. The money
orders he gave as follows:
January 10, 1920, $100; January 12,
1920, $100; January 7, 1920, $150;
February 6, 1920, $75; February 7,
1920, $l5O.
J. T. Longino took the stand for
a moment to identify the handwrit
ing on the money order applications
as ■ Green’s.
Sent to New Jersey
The telegrams were addressed to
Mrs. Bradstreet in New Jersey. The
defense claimed they were sent in
an effort to get Mrs. Bradstreet
back for trial, which was first set
for February. The defense wished
the evidence ruled out as not bear
ing on the alleged crime.
“We are undertaking to show that
the concealing and enjoying of the
bank’s funds by this man and this
woman is still going on,” argued At
torney Reuben Arnold, for the state.
“Your honor cannot tell the jury
when this conspiracy began or when
it ended. If we can introduce evi
dence to show the conspiracy is
still going on this morning it is ad
missible.”
He read a court of appeals opinion
in the case of J. W. Cook, tried for
blaskmail, to support his conten
tion.
Attorney Westmoreland claimed
that the indictment was for embez
zlement, not for conspiracy, and that
anything transpiring after the al
leged embezzlement took place was
not admissible as evidence.
Judge Hutcheson ruled with the
state, thus admitting the evidence.
Solicitor Napier read the telegrams
to the jury. They were addressed
to Mrs. Bradstreet at Matuchen, New
Jersey. The first order was accom
panied by this telegram:
“Have wired money. Wire
quick when you will start home.
Important.
“BILL.”
The January 12 order for SIOO was
accompanied by this telegram:
“Your wire. Have just wired
funds. Was delayed account
death of my father this morn
ing. Wire when leaving and
train you will arrive on. Will
meet you.
“BILL.”
Pinkerton’s Testimony
Guy Hearn, of Fairburn, described
events the night of the fire, October
9. He told of a conversation be
tween Green and Mr. Redwine the
day aftet the fire, as he was driving
with them to Atlanta. Green, he
said, told how two robbers entered
the bank, bound and gagged him and
robbed the bank; how he freed him
self after they had escaped, and gave
the alarm. Green, lie said, complain
ed that his wrists were sore from the
ropes.
W. T. Gloer, assistant superinten
dent of the Pinkerton Detective agen
cy’s Atlanta office, took the stand.
Attorney Arnold examined the wit
ness.
On October 10, 1919, said Mr. Gloer,
the Pinkertons were employed by
President Roberts, of the Fairburn
Banking company, to investigate the
fire and reported robbery the night
before. Mr. Gloer said:
“Our men located the Bradstreets
at the Georgian Terrace hotel in At
lanta. With city detectives I went
to the Georgian Terrace, to Room
924, where we found Clarence Brad
street and the negro chauffeur, El
lison, talking. About 45 minutes
after we got there Mrs. Bradstreet
arrived. She confessed to me *>he
knew Green. She said theer were no
improper relations between them;
that she knew nothing of the fire;
but she admitted Green had given
her money and presents to the
amount of $40,000 or $50,000. She
told me she met Green about Octo
ber, 1918; that he gave her several
presents and asked her to be known
to the public as his niece.”
Detective Gloer read a list of
presents and money he said Mrs.
Bradstreet admitted Green gave her,
including automobiles, jewelry,
clothes and cash.
“While we were talking,” said the
witness, “somebody knocked at the
doQr and Mrs. Bradstreet said it was
Mr. Stamps, with whom they had an
engagement to go out to dinner. She
went into hysterics and we got noth
ing more out of her after that.”
Questioned by Attorney Arnold
Mr. Gloer said Mrs. Bradstreet told
him she herself had no money and
that, in substance, she got all she
haA from Green.
Mr. Gloer said that later that night
he went to Fairburn and was pres
ent at Mr. Green’s arrest at Mr. Rob
erts’ home.
“Have you had an yother conver
sation with the Bradstreets or
Green?”
Green was armed, said Mr. Gloer,
but gave his pistol to the sheriff.
Mr. Gloer said Mrs. Bradstreet de
clared Green was violently in love
with her and begged her to get a di
vorce and marry him.
“Mrs. Bradstreet said she had had
three husbands. She looked to be
about 27 or 28 years old.”
Mr. Gloer said his agency had
made little effort to get the report
ed robbers after Green and Mrs.
Bradstreet were arrested, but they
had tied in vain to find the Liberty
bonds.
“Green denied he stole any mon
ey,” said the witness. “He admit
ted he had bought Mrs. Bradstreet
jewelry and other articles, but said
they were paid for with her • own
money.”
Mr. Gloer related Green’s account
of the robbery as told him.
"No,” said the wltriess.
“Didn’t you see Green and the
Bradstreets last week?”
Riding’ With Green
"Yes, Wednesday afternoon I was
standing near the postoffice in Atlan
ta, talking to Tillou Van Nunes,
when the Bradstreets and Green
drove up in an automobile and park
ed near us. She was at the wheel,
Green seated next to her, Bradstreet
in the rear. Mr. and Mrs. Bradstreet
got out, and when they passed us she
called me a scoundrel and he also
had something to say. She made
faces at me and called hie a skunk.”
On cross-examination by Attorney
Westomreland. Mr. Gloer was posi
tive that it was Green with the
Bradstreets.
Bob Waggoner, Atlanta city de
tective, corroborated Mr. Gloer’s
count of the visit s o the Georgian
Terrace and the conversation with
Mis. Bradstreet on the night of her
arrest.
George Edmondson, cashier of the
Fairburn Banking company and.
formerly assistant cashier, testified
that Green kept all tne books of the
bank until the fire, except the indi
vidual ledger showing customers’ ac
counts, deposits and the like. As a
general rule, said the witness, Green
was about three days behind in keep
ing his books and during that time
it Is not possible for an examiner to
tell the status of the bank, should
an examiner be called.
Passed On Overdrafts
Green, said the witness, had the
authority to say when overdrafts
should be allowed. The ovedraft of
Redwine Brothers, cotton brokers,
secured by cotton tickets, was paid
in full, with interest, he. said.
Mr. Edmondson said he frequently
asked Green to post his books up to
dae, and last August he asked
Green to bring them up to date and
after that he would keep them post
ed. Mr. Green replied that he would
do that, said Mr. Edmondson. One
day, said Mr. Edmondson, he took
Green’s books when Mr. Green was
in Atlanta, posted them up and found
Green was short SIB,OOO.
While Mr. Edmondson was on the
stand, court was suspended while a
message was delivered from State
Treasurer W. J. Speer, who wished
it to go in the -record that he made
a mistake in his testimony yester
day when he was so positive he had
appointed W. O. Martin to audit the
tank the day before the fire. As a
matter of fact, said Judge Speer, he
found, on invesigation that he did
not appoint Mr. Martin until two
days after the fire.
With Mr. Edmondson against on
the stand the burned books of the
bank were brought into court in or
der to satisfy objections of the de
fense to testimony concerning the
books when they were not produced.
Telephone Calls
The books, seared and scorched,
were in a pile at the witness’ feet.
On finding Green short SIB,OOO, said
Mr. Edmondson, he went to Green
that night after supper and inform
ed Green of his discovery, asking
for an explanation. Green told him,
said Edmondson, that most of the
shortage was due to l two notes'owed
the bank by himself and Chester
Harvey, but he did not produce the
notes and there was nothing on the
books about them.
Green, said witnesses, received
telephone calls from a lady in At
lanta from one to several times a
day for months before the fire, al
ways going to the isolated phone in
Ihe rear of the bank to talk.
Mr. Edmondson said that the
bank never received a single deposit
for Mrs. Bradstreet except once,
when Green deposited $195 to her
credit to meet a check she had
drawn. The witness said he had no
recollection of the Stutz Motor com
pany calling up the bank last April
and asking if Mrs. Bradstreet s draft
for $2,500 was good. If 'anyone
answered the phone on that occa
sion said the witness, it was not
himself.
Mr. Edmondson described where
the bonds, notes, cash and other as
sets of the bank were kept. The
sate, he said, was the regular place
for keeping the Liberty bonds
On Oclober 6, said Mr. Edmond
son, Green went to Atlanta, return
ing about 12:30 in the faternoon. He
had no packages of any kind so far
as he could see, sa'd the witness.
"The reason I noticed Green was
because I thought he had put up a
bogus excuse for going to Atlanta,”
said Mr. Edmondson. “He’d had a
telephone call from a woman and I
believed he was going to meet her.”
He described Green’s actions that
afternoon and that night. Asked by
Mr. Arnold if Green did any regular,
consecutive work that night, he said
Green sat at the typewriter a few
minutes, bust mostly was reading
the paper, talking to Mr. Redwine
and was in and out.
Mr. Edmondson said he left the
bank about 10 o’clock and that
Green was still there. With Mr.
Arnold illustrating with the big
.aw books on the table, the witness
described the interior of the bank,
the location of the vault and the
shell’ where Green had told him he
had placed the Liberty bonds.
“Green told Mr. Martin, the audi
tor,, he placed the bonds there on
Monday, Octoter 6,” said the wit
ness.
Went Into Vault
"Had you not been to the vault
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of that week?” asked Mr
Arnold.
“Yes.”
“How many times a day?”
“Fifty times, at least.”
“Had you been to the exact spot
where he said he left the Liberty
Bonds?”
“Yes, I went and got a sheet from
that shelf in connection with the
county’s account.”
“And you don’t remember seeing
the Liberty Bonds at all?”
“No, sir.”
At the request of Mr. Arnold, the
witness recited in detail what Green
told him about the robbers entering
the bank and binding and gagging
him. Green, he said, did not men
tion the Liberty Bo ids.
He said he found six or seven
thousand dollars in the ruins of the
bank next day. Jewelry and watch
es, kept outside the safe, on a top
shelf were also found., He said.
On cross-examination, the witness
admitted he himself did not find rhe
cash, but he heard that others did
He said he id not know how many
Liberty bonds the bank owned; that
Mr. Gieen, not himself, had charge
of the bonds.
Describing again the interior of
the bank at the request of Mr. West
moreland. the witness named about
half a dozen people who he said had
the combinationeof the vault, includ
ing himself. Green, Mr. Longino and
others.
With the conclusion of Mr. Ed
mondson’s testimony court ad
jorned until 1:30 p. m.
Tuesday Afternoon Session

tured by such salacious testimonv,
from the love letter claimed by the
state to have been written to Mrs.
Bradstreet by Green, read at the

RESOLUTION FOR
PEACE WILL BE
CALLED FRIDAY
WASHINGTON, March 31. —The
resolution to declare peace between
the United States and Germany will
be called up in the house riday,
Chairman Campbell, of the rules
committee and Chairman Porter of
the foreign affairs committee, said
this morning
A final draft of the resolution has
been agreed to by the Republican
leaders and it will be introduced in
the house today, both said
Consideration and a favorable re
port by the foreign affairs commit
tee, . Campbell said, is ready to make
it the special order of the house the
following day.
Indications are that passage of the
resolution will be speeded in both
houses. Mr. Porter stated the reso
lution would be at the president’s
door so "quickly it will startle him.”
To Call in Senators
Senate leaders, if the house passes
the resolution Friday, probably will
send out a call for the return of all
members, Senator Curtis, Republican
whip, said today, so that action can
be taken in the upper body next
week.
Word was sent to Senator Lodge,
who is resting in Massachusetts, to
get bad Monday. Leaders said they
hoped to adopt the resolution Within
a week after the house acts.
Original plans of house leaders
were to adjourn over Good Friday,
but it has been decided that this will
be a fitting day to consider a reso
lution declaring pease.
' Democrats, at the request of the
president, are being lined up in op
position to the plan by Representa
tive Flood, Virginia, ranking Demo
crat on the foreign affairs commit
tee. who claims that sufficient votes
will be mustered to prevent a two
thirds vote for the resolution, if it
is similar to the one introduced in
the senate by Senator Knox.
Secretary of State Colby has in
formed Mr. Flood he believes the
whole plan of declaring peace by
resolution is uncons.itutional and
will be Ineffective The results of an
investigation of the. constitutional
points nave been g’ven Mr. Flood by
the state department and will be
used in opposing the resolution 'on
the floor.
Mr. Flood said Mr. Colby’s view
was that congress could do nothing
more than repeal the war-time pow
ers given the president. In accord
ance with this question the Demo
crats probably will oppose any part
of a resolution that in any way could
be construed to affect international
relations.
They are considering a counter
proposal which would not declare
peace, but simply state that after a
certain date the various war laws
would expire according to their own
terms.
the feature of the afternoon session.
As she spoke of "Uncle Jack” and
“Dr. Spaulding” laughter would
sweep over the courtroom and peo
ple would glance at Green, who him
self was chuckling and smiling.
“Uncle Jack”
Mrs. Ida Patterson, of 701 Peach
tree street, at whose home Mrs. Brad
street boarded during her alleged
rapid rise from poverty to wealth,
was one of the chief witnesses of
the afternoon session. She described
in detail this phase of the case, tell
ing how Mrs. Bradstreet arrived’ in
.a taxi wearing a cheap suit of clothes
and brirging with her a meager
v 4 Jrobe of cheap apparel; and tell
ng* how a few days later, as a protege
of “Uncle Jack,” she began to appeal
in diamonds and silks, entering then
upon the royal road to wealth which
brought to her thousands of dollars
worth of lingerie, furs and automo
biles and the equipage of an heiress.
"Do you see Uncle Jack in the
courtroom?” Mrs. Patterson was asked
by the solicitor.
"Yes, there he is," she answered,
and pointed to the defendant, Green.
Mrs. Patterson gave an account of
the careful attention and kindly con
siderations given Mrs. Bradstreet by
“Uncle Jack,” whom she knew also,
she stated, as "Dr. Spaulding.”
After telling of a time when Mrs.
Bradstreet became ill and was taken
to a hospital by “Uncle Jack” and
Bradstreet, Mrs. Patterson testified:
“She was gone but two days when
I was telephoned that she was com
ing back home again. Dr. Spaulding
brought her back. She was too weak
to stand. He took all her laundry
away in his car, and had it done.
| ‘Dr. Spaulding’ continued his visits
and they went riding frequently.
While she was there I’ve seen be
tween SI,OOO and $1,200, she said it
was, in original bank packages lying
on her mantel. Piles of ones, tens
and twenties.
“When she first came there she
looked like she was worth hardly
nothing; a few days after ‘Dr.
Spaulding’ appeared, she began her
expensive purchases. When she first
came she had a glass ring. Then
she bought an octagon wrist watch;
then a. carat diamond; then a SSOO
seal coat. *
Finds Two betters
“After Mrs. Bradstreet left I found
two letters, one from Bradstreet and
one from Green., That reminds me
that ‘Dr. Spaulding’ put a check book
in her pocket when she went to the
hospital and told her she might need
money. ‘Give it to me,’ said Mrs.
Bradstreet, 'with money you can do
anything.’ ‘Yes,’ I told her, any
thing but buy health and a good
name.’ "
“The letter I found from Mr.
Green called her 'Darling Angel’ and
said he wanted to buy her a little
bungalow to live in.”
Olin Stamps, Jr., formerly with the
Brigman Motor company, testified
that he sold Mrs. Bradstreet a Dor
ris automobile, receiving a Stutz in
part payment. He admitted also
that he was with them on the Ans
ley r€of on the night of October 9,
the night that the Fairbum bank
was burned, they taking him home
at about 1 o’clock in the morning.
Salesmen for Maier & Berkele tes
tified to selling Mrs. Bradstreet and
Green many articles of jewelry,
which were charged to The latter and
which aggregated about $4,700. The
purchases included two wedding
rings.
Clarence Belle Isle, in charge of
the Georgian Terrace garage on Oc
tober 9, testified that at 1 o’clock in
the morning following this night tne
Bradstreets came into the garage in
their Packard and wanted to get
their Dorris. Another couple was
with them, he stated, but when they
returned at 4 o’clock in the morning
they were alone.
Redwine Testifies
E. A. Fowler, cashier of the Lowry
National banl#» testified that Mrs.
Bradstreet had made deposits be
tween June 9 and October 3 amount
ing to $18,029, and that her present
account was 69 cents.
M. R. Redwine, a director of the
Fairburn bank, offered testimony -o
the effect that he had met Mrs.
Brandstreet and that he had remon
strated with Green for his associa
tion with her. He stated also that
the overdraft at the Fairburn bank,
referred to in testimony of Mr. Rob
erts Monday, was an overdraft by
Redwine Brothers, the firm of which
he was a member, and that it was
more than covered by cotton tickets
held by the bank.
COTTON
NEW YORK, March 31.—Private reports
of rains in the eastern belt led to more
active buying in the cotton market during
today’s early session. The Liverpool cables
were without special feature but Liverpool
and domestic trade interests were good buy
ers here and the opening was firm at an
advance of 12 to 32 points. This led trac
tive covering and prices soon sold up to
39.37 for May and 33.05 for October, mak
ing net advances of 47 to 60 points and
new high records for the season on these
positions. The south was among the leading
buyers presumably on the rains and the
early market was more active than any time
previously this week.
Liverpool, Japanese, leading spot interests
and commission houses bought and other
buying was thought to represent short cov
ering. The ring took profits and there was
some hedge selling on the advance.
Bullish feeling was rampant and perplex
ities of the past few days seemed forgot
ten. This sudden change from hesitation
apparent in Tuesday’s market was believed
the result of private advices predicting cer
tain defeat for Senator Comer’s amendment
due to come before confernc at Washington
during th day.
The advance extended to 29.55 c for May
and 33.27 c for October, with active months
showing net advances of about 60 to 80
points during the middle of the morning.
Nervousness over the possibility of legisla
tion creating a new form contract probably
stimulated the demand fronyshorts, but busi
ness 'became less active toward midday and
there were reactions of swveral points under
realizing. The first weflrly report of the
season, issued by the weather bureau, was
rather less unfavorable than expected, but
said cotton was germinating poorly in Texas.
Late forenoon reactions were followed by
another buying movement which carried new
crop months into new high ground, with
October selling at 33.47 c, or 82 points net
higher, while old crop positions rallied to
about the early point. There was continued
realizing,- however, and midafternoon fluctu
ations were somewhat irregular.
Record highs for the season were made
in the last hour, options being up 80 to 97
points. A broadening demand was noted in
all futures but was especially insistent in
October, which was up nearly $5 a bale.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March 31.—Advances of
about three dollars a bale were scored by
cotton in the early trading today, a heavy
buying movement resulting from an unfa
vorable opinion of the rains in the eastern
belt and the high water in the Mississippi
valley, both of which were accepted as fac
tors making for delayed planting. In the
first hour of business prices rose 57 to 63
points, May touching 38.90 and October
33.01.
Realizing from' the long slide followed the
initial advance, but recessions of a dollar,

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March 31.—The rise in
cotton today was due to the renewed rains
in the eastern belt and uneasiness over the
flood situation in the Mississippi valley.
The opening was steady and the market
firmed up rapidly thereafter, getting to its
highest levels late in the session on expec
tations of a wet weather map in the morn
ing. Should the map be wet, further buy
ing would be likely, but with triple holi
days after the close, hard spots tomorrow
would probably attract a great deal of real
izing from the long side,
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
J. W. Jay & Co.: -For the time being we
expect a quiet market and continue to favor
taking profits at this level.
E. F. Hutton & Co.: Fluctuations are
likely to be governed by weather conditions.
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: Although we
are not bearish, we prefer awaiting a de
cline before buying.
Hirscb, Lilenthal & Co.: We still think
well of purchases of distant positions.
Moyse & Holmes: Fundamental conditions
remain so sound that we continue to advo
cate purchases of July and October con
tracts during periods of weakness.

s Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: We are inclined
to look for lighter receipts after this week

the oats market.
Lauison. Bros.: Southwestern markets are
, gradually dragging below a parity. Good
demand for oats from the southwest.
