IIVMDOSTA TRIAL:
SIX MEI IDENTIFIED
VALDOSTA. Ga., March t I.
Eighty cattle-dipping vats were, dy
namited' in Lowndes and Echols
counties during the period from 1917
to 1921, according to testimony of
Dr. W. M. Moore, witness for the
government in the trial of charges
of conspiracy to violate the federal
dipping law being heard in United
States district court here against
twenty-one Echols county citizens.
Dr. Moore, relating incidents of
his connection with the cattle-dip
ping work, said that all of the vats
in Echols county were blown up
and most of those in the southern
part of Lowndes county were simi
larly disposed of.
R. S. English, a federal employe,
testified today concerning an al
leged “war” in Echols county when
•hots were fired into the McKinnon
camp of federal range riders. He
•ajd the range men returned the fire
with machine guns. He admitted fir
ing about forty shots at an automo
bile and stated that other men in
the camp did some shooting.
Upon cross-examination. English
stated the camp was equipped with
two machine guns, two sawed-off
shotguns and that each range rider
was equipped with a rifle and side
arms. He stated that on one occasion
he attended court in the county
Where many of the 250 persons pres
ent were armed. He could not iden
tify any of them.
Dan Bohannon, an 18-year-oli boy,
was the next witness. He gave his
version of the “war” at the McKin
non camp. An automobile passed the
camp and two shots were fired from
it, he said. It returned later and five
more .shots were fired. It.was then
that the range men returned the
fire, he said.
Bohannon said he recognized the
men, who were going toward States
ville, as Oscar, Shaby and Inman
Thornton, Tinker Carroll, Wesley
McDonald and Waverly McDonald,
all of whom now are under indict
ment. He admitted he 'did not see
these men, but “recognized them by
the hollering and noise they made.”
When cross-examined, Bohannon
•tated it was not unusual for per
sons driving along the road to fire
off their pistols.
Testimony today tended to show
the feeling existing in the county
against cattle dipping. However, Bo
hannon was the only witness to di
rectly connect any of the indicted
men with incidents attributed to
those conditions.
Defense attorneys, attempting to
discredit Bohannon’s testimony by
showing that secret service men had
“drilled him,” were unable to shake
the witness in his statements.
Denies She Was Influenced
An effort was made to show that
Government Agent Jack Bowen had
influenced the Bohannon testimony,
but Mrs. Bohannon, mother of Dan,

“Youth'’ as February 29
Makes Him Old Enough to
Vote
Friday was a red-letter day for the
unfortunate children and the lucky
men and women who were born on
February 29, It was their first
birthday in a four-year-period, and
inaugurated another quadrennial
wait for a similar celebration.
Up to the age of thirty, say, per
sons born on February 29 frankly
don’t like it at all. After that witch
ing hour, they may subtract -years
just as they please when the inquisi
tive caller or the census taker comes
around.
To the rest of the world February
29 means various things. Apart
ment dwellers get one day of free
rent- Salaried men and women, who
are paid by the month, work an ex
tra day for nothing. Thlrty-day
notes mature 24 hours sooner, but
monthly bills reach the well-known
pigeon-hole one day later. School
children do an extra turn in mathe
matical hieroglyphics, and wait one
day longer for the summer vacation,
but city council and the school board
get a few extra hours for the com
pletion of the Girls’ High school, so <
it works both ways.
Among the Atlantians who have
been cheated out of yearly birth
day cakes and candles are John R.
Courtney, auditor for the J. E. Miller
Steamship agency, and E. H. An
chors, assistant to the city at torney.
Mr. Courtney admits that he is sixty
four years old. although he has cele
brated only fifteen birthdays. Dur- ’
ing the period from 1896 to 1904 he
went eight years without a cake or
and a witness in the case, declared it
had not. When asked by the de
fendant’s counsel, “What is Bowen’s
business?” she replied quickly and
with warmth, “God Almighty
1 nows.”
Mrs. G. A. Sauls, the next witness,
told of hearing Dr. Prescott say that
a notice had been posted that “Agent
Jeter’s house was to be burned,” and
the doctor added, Mrs. Sauls sain,
“I hope he will be burned in it.”
She also testified she saw the six
boyg fifteen minutes before the bat
tle and that Tinker Carroll exhib
ited a pistol and said it was ‘‘going
to get a man and a tick man, too.”
On cross-examination she was
asked if Dr. Prescott had not prose
cuted her son for stealing cotton and
had him put on the chaingang. She
admitted that the boy served a. sen
tence, but would not admit that Dr.
Prescott was the prosecutor. She
was asked the direct question, “Is
it not true that you agreed to come
here and testify in this case if Jack
Bowen and other government officials
would, help get your boy off of the
chaingang?” she answered “no.”
She admitted that Bowen and Je
ter visited her son while he was
serving time in Liberty county.

that it would have been better if the

defendant plead guilty and told the
court that his little child was sick
and had craved a bird, begging so
hard for it that he killed one—just
. one—dove. The court was evidently
impressed by the sincerity of his
, statement.

MRS.CANDLER AND
KEELING ACQUITTED;
STODDARD IS HELD
W. J. Stoddard was held for the
state cou*ts under S3OO bond on a
charge of violating the state prohi
bition law, after a hearing before
Recorder George E. Johnson Monday
morning at which charges lodged
against Mrs. Asa G. Candler, Sr.,
and G. W. Keeling w r ere dismissed.
The three persons were charged
with violating section 1768 of the
city code as an outgrowth of their
arrest on February 9 in an apart
ment at No. 48 Juniper street, but
Recorder Johnson declared the cases
could not be construed to mean “oc
cupancy of a dive,” as was charged.
He ruled, however, that evidence
submitted by the prosecution had
shown Mr. Stoddard had admitted
ownership of the small quantity pf
liquor confiscated and that he would
hold Mr. Stoddard accountable on
that charge.
Stoddard Charges Frameup
“You saw what it was; it’s all a
frame-up,” declared Mr. Stoddard
after the trial, when asked if he wish
ed to make a statement. His bond
was signed by Dr. Horace Grant, and
they left the station house together.
Mrs. Candler, accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. j. B. Brown, left im
mediately after the hearing in the
automobile in which she had driven
to police headquarters.
The hearing was attended by a
crowd which occupied every avail
able seat and which pressed up be
hind the railing separating the spec
tators from court officials. Mrs.
Candler was not required to stand
on the platform facing the recorder,
but sat on a piano stool in a remote
corner of the room, alongside her
sister. Both Mr. Keeling and Mr.
Stoddard stood up before the record
er, with their counsel —Attorney Ben
Conyers. Mrs. Candler was repre
sented by Attorneys Cam Dorsey and
Carlton Binns.
Bottle Introduced
A. bottle which is alleged to have
contained a small quantity of whisky
was introduced in evidence, along
with three glasses, but counsel for
the defense protested that the fact
that these articles were taken from,
the apartment in which their clients
were arrested, in no may constitut
ed “occupancy of a dive.” They de
clared the section of the city code
covering such arrests would not ap
ply in this case.
“The way I construe a dive is
where men and women congregate
in a notorious place that is known
publicly as given over to drinking,
gambling or carousing,” said Re
corder Johnson in dismissing the
cases docketed on that charge.
“Such men and women do not work,
but assemble there to idle. The evi
dence shows that all the defendants
have visible means of support, and
Mr. Stoddard said he assumed full
responsibility for the whisky. There
fore, I hold him on a charge of vio
lating the prohibition law and dis
miss the other cases.”
None of the three defendants
made a statement to the court and
only three witnesses were sworn
for the prosecution: Chief Beavers,
' Captain A. J. Holcombe, and Thomas
jH. Pitt, a real estate man. Chief
I Beavers then took the stand and
j made a statement concerning the ar
jrest, being frequently interrupted by
objections from counsel for the de
fendants.
Defendants Shadowed
“Several days before this happen
ed —less than a month—a complaint
came from Mr. Asa G. Candler, Sr.,”
began the chief.
This brought a sharp objection
from defense counsel, but in a few
minutes the chief continued: “They
requested us if I got a call to come
to a place in this city—no differ
i ence where—and gave a name so I
would know who was talking, that
j 1 would be ready to come at once,
i They said that some party was
. shadowing Mrs. Candler and W. J.
I Stoddard.”
This brought another objection
I from Attorney Ben Conyers and Re
i corder Johnson said he would rule
: out what had been told the chief.
I The. recorder instructed the chief to
| tell about the arrest.
“Well, I got this call to come to
the corner of Ponce de Leon ave
nue and Juniper street at once. I
j hadn’t put anything on the ‘look
i out’ book about this matter because
I X did not wish to do so without
i some justification. I didn’t want to
do any injustice to Mrs. Candler, Mr.
Candler or their families. I had
been asked to keep it secret until
something materialized.
Directed by Mr. Pitt
“I got Captain Holcombe and
started to take two other men but i
| then decided that we would go by
ourselves. We went to the corner
! of Ponce de Leon avenue and Juni
j per street, and there met this gen-
I tieman (pointing to Mr. Pitt). He
. got in the car and told us to drive
!up to Peachtree and back down
Third street, where he showed me
Mr. Stoddard’s car. He said Mrs.
I Candler’s car was at the corner of
North avenue and Peachtree street,
I and that they were in an apart
ment.”
This brought another objection
• from counsel for the defendants who
insisted that the chief should not
state what had been told him.
“Well. I don't want to tell any.
| thing illegal,” resumed the chief. “I
stopped my car on Third street be

and went in 48 Juniper street. We
w?nt up on the second floor—l recol

COLUMBIA.—House of representa-
also came to the door. I asked her
if there was anyone else there and
she said ‘No.’ Then I looked around
—in the living room, in the bed
room, in the dining room —and there
was no one else there. I thought I
I was in the wrong pew.
Tries Another Apartment
“Then I walked to the other end
lof the hall —to apartment 7. The
I woman was standing in the hallway
watching me. I turned the knob
on the other apartment and it was
locked. I turned around and asked
this woman if there was anyone in
this apartment and she said ‘No.’ ”
Thi s brought another objection
from defense counsel, who declared
the chief should have produced this
woman in court.
“I tried to get her here but she's
gone; they are all gone,” replied the
chief.
“Then I heard a noise like a chair
moving in this other apartment. I
took hold of the knob and shook it
but I didn’t knock. I heard some
one walk to the door, and Mr. Kee
ling, I think it was, unlocked it. I
asked him if he lived there, and he
said ‘No, I’m just up here to see
a friend.’
Finds Mrs. Candler
“The door was cracked a little, and
so I walked in by him and went
down a little hall that opened into
the living room. Mr. Stoddard was
the first person I saw there. He
was coming from the door that led
into a little room about ten by
twelve feet; it was the bedroom. The
door to this room was being shut
and so I stepped over, caught hold
of the knob, pulled back the door
and Mrs. Candler was holding to the
knob on the other end.
“What is your name? I asked her.
She didn’t answer but came out into
the room, and so I asked her a sec
ond time: ‘What is your . name,
please?’
“She said: ‘Tell me who sent you
here and I’ll tell you anything.’ I
asked her again what her name was
and then said, ‘I know who -you are
—at least I think I do. (The chief ex
plained to the court that he never
had seen her before and could not
have sworn to her identity). You are
Mrs. Candler.’
“She said, ‘Did the family or Mr.
Candler send you?’ and I replied:
‘Mr. Cand’er knows all about this,
and I am sorry. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself to treat Mr.
Candler this way.’ She said: ‘I don’t
care, we are not the only folks do
ing this way.’
Bottle Almost Empty
“I then turned to the table and
picked up a bottle that was almost
empty. There were three glasses
there and I asked them if they had
all been drinking. I couldn’t smell
on account of a cold, although I I
picked up the bottle and another bot
tle, containing vinegar, and tried to I
detect their odor. Then I tasted
them, and about that time Captain
Holcombe said: ‘That’s whisky.’
“About that time Mr. Stoddard
said: ‘Yes, we’ve all had a drink’ and
he also declared that he and Mr.
Keeling would take the responsibili
ty for the liquor. I turned around
and asked Mrs. Candler whose
apartment it was and she said it
belonged to a friend —a Mrs. Kibler.
I asked her where this friend was
and she said: ‘I don’t know, I think
she’s in Decatur.’
“Mr. Stoddard told me to let Mrs.
Candler go, and I started to give ;
her a copy of charges, but then I
said I couldn’t make any distinction.
I had to let them all go down to po
lice headquarters and sign their
bond.”
The chief then described how he
had brought them to headquarters,
and later had taken them back to I
their cars.
Chief Beavers then testified that j
three small glasses were on the table I
with the bottle of whisky, and intro- |
duced into evidence the bottle, which |
contained a small quantity of spirits.
In answer to a question by Attorney
Conyers as to who had partaken of
the whisky, the chief replied:
“Stoddard said, ‘We all had a |
drink.’ ” i
“You started to let them all go on i
a copy of charges, didn't you?” At
torney Conyers asked.
Wanted All Treated Alike
“No,” the chief replied, “I started j
to let Mrs. Candler go.”
“Did you consult anybody before
changing your mind?”
“Yes, I asked this man (pointing

to Thomas H. Pitt) and he said:
‘They want them all treated alike.’ ”
“As a matter of fact hadn’t Cap
tain Holcombe already written a
copy of charges for Mrs. Candler?”
“Yes, but Mr. Pitt said: ‘They
want them all treated alike and want
them all to give bond.’ I thought he
meant Mr. Candler, because I knew
he represented Mr. Candler. I also
knew that it was customary to re
quire bonds in cases where liquor
was found, because they are state
cases.”
“But you didn’t think of that until
you had talked to Mr. Pitt?”
“N , what he said just reminded
me of that.”
“So you brought her to the station
house?”
“Yes, and when she got here, she
said she didn’t want her name on
the docket. I told her we could not
avoid that; that her name would
have to be put down. Those are the
facts.”
“Well,” said Attorney Conyers,
“we want the facts, no matter where
the chips fall.”
“Yes,” the chief replied, “I want
the facts too; and let the chips fall
where they will. I have done nothing
I am sorry for and nothing that I
want tor take back.”
Heard Chair Move
Attorney Conyers then questioned
Chief Beavers closely as to whether
he was positive he tested the knob
on the door of apartment No. 7 be,
fore going to apartment 8.
“Yes,” the chief replied, “and I
then came back to apartment 7 when
I heard a chair move.”
“And when you entered you saw
Mr. Keeling?”
“Yes.”
“And he made no resistance?”
“No.’
“Where w r as Mr. Stoddard?”
“He was in the othev room where
the liquor was.” This reply brought
a laugh.
“Where was the liquor?”
“On a small table, within easy
reach.”
“Did you see the liquor in any
body’s hands?”
“No, it was just like I said, on
the table.”
“But you did not see the liquor in
anybody’s possession?”
“It was just like I said; the liquor
was there and they were in the
room.”
“Did you know whose apartment
it was?”
“No, Mrs. Candler said it belonged
to a friend who was in Decatur. But
they were in possession and you
know possession is nine points of
law.” This brought another laugh.
Question of Possession
“Didn’t Stoddard say he would
1 claim the liquor?”
I “Yes, but I hafi heard that before.”
‘‘How can more than one man pos-
' sess a quart, bottle of liquor?”
“Easy. They could have a part
nership. I have done that same thing
man ya time when I was a boy.
About a dozen of us would buy a
quart and we would all help pay for
it and all help drink it and all of us
would get drunk.” This reply re
sulted in another laugh, ♦
