On Stand In Blue Ridge Judge
ship Contest. He Denies All
Fraud Charges. /
- -
DECLARES DEMOCRATS
ARE SOLIDLY FOR HIM
Patterson Was Aided Greatly
by Irregularities in Pickens,
Witness Asserts. /
Judge Newt Morris took the stand
in his ©urn defense, under oath, before
the state Democratic committee this
morning immediately after the commit
tee was called to order by Chairman
Harris, to resume the bearing in the
Blue Ridge judgeship contest.
The Judge spoke in deliberate and
clear tones, denying In full all the
chargee heaped upon him by the pros
ecution.
Judge Morris denied with great ve
hemence that there was any truth m
the famous alleged telephone mesaage
from Morris to Cox, late on the night
j of election, in wMch Morris is said to
have told Cox that only a big majority
. in Gilmer county could save the nom
j inatlon to Morris, because Patterson
, was an evident victor elsewhere
I throughout the circuit.
Says Republicans ■
Cause All the Trouble.
Morris said the trouble in Gttmer
(simply is that the Republicans In GU- f
mer try to run the politics of the Dem
ocrats. and when they are not alloared
to do It. they get mad and charge
fraud.
Ths Judge claimed that M per eent
of the Democrats In Gilmer were for
Morris, and that euch was a notorious
( fact in advance of the primary.
Judge Morris undertook then to show
by figures that had Pattersen received
every uncast vote on the entire regis
tration list in Gilmer, regardless of the
fact that many of them would have
gone to Morris, Morris still would have
been a victor over Patterson by not
less than 65 votes.
The Judge then departed somewhat
from the main issue and charged that
Pickens county. In which not more than
a few hundred Democrats lived 1n any
event, went for Patterson by 600, or
more than enough un-Democratlc votes
in Pickens alone to offset al] un-Dem
ocratic votes Morris might have re
ceived in Gilmer.
The Judge said he thought surely that
lit would be unfair to throw out Gilmer
j with respect to Morris, and not throw
it out with respect to Pottle and Price
in the court of appeals and commis
i sioner of agriculture races.
Declares Democrats of
Gilmer Are For Him.
Judge Morris ended his statement by
declaring that the fight on him in Gil
mer was an old one and was fathered
entirely by Republicans. He explained
that the lines between Democrats and
i Republicans always were tightly drawn
I In Gilmer, and that each side generally
(voted solidly, and that the solid Dem
ocratic strength there now is for Mor
ris.
Upon cross-examination Judge Mor
ris said he did not contest alleged
frauds and irregularities in Pickens bs
: cause he considered his nomination safe
without the vote of Pickens, and that
it was too late, after the Gilmer county
contest had been begun.
Judge Morris’ injection of Pickens
county into tlie hearing brought forth
considerable discussion as to the rel
' evancy of the Pickens matter in tilt
pr* sent hearing
i i i* Patterson attorneys rested then
* as* <lll evidence introduced to show
