tence tn the event he was convicted of

he voted for Mr. Matthews and the lat
ter is elected fudge of the superior
courts of the Macon circuit
Amerson is a saloon keeper He has
denied for publication that he made the
statements attributed to him in the af
fidavits.
According to 'a published statement
issued by Solicitor Matthews, Judge

judgeship, paid for the anonymous ad
vertisement In a Macon paper, in which
Mr. Matthews was charged with collu
sion with violators of the prohibition
law in this count.

vulge the author of the advertisement,
and he was informed that the adver

tisement as “a campaign canard, cow
ardly, contemptible, false and mali
cious.”

s aging Mr. Matthews' campaign, and
that the two of them had solicited the
vote and support of Amerson, and
promised him protection in the event of
his conviction for violating the prohi
bition law. This was denied by Mat
