Special District Attorney Noel opened

general summary of the conspiracy from
Its inception ami followed by connecting
the various defendants therewith.
“We ate not to consider whether this

whether the laws of the country have

“There were 33 explosions on work of

ker fostered vicious legislation." "I have
printed a letter tn which Mr. Archbold
calls Senator Forakor’s special atten
tion to a measure pending in the Ohio
legislature, and directs him to oppose
It,” and 1 am doing this for the pub
lic good.”
No Order From
Archbold, He Says.
"No letter that tins been read can
possibly be construed as an order di
recting me to do anything,” said Fora
ker.
The witness then added that Hearst's
meeting in Columbus. Ohio - the time
when ho was supposed to have secured
the letters was September 11, 1908. He
said that Hearst. In his speech that
night, referred to a letter from John T>
Archbold urging Foraker to support the
nomination of Judge Burkett, then a
candidate for the supreme court of
Ohio.
"Judge Burkett and 1.” said Foraker,
“wore close personal friends, and I
knew him to be a man of the highest
Integrity. 1 would have supported him
whether or not I had received a letter
from Mr. Archbold. Therefore, his let
ter had no weight with me."
Why the Ohio
Bills Were Held Up.
Taking up the three Archbold letters
relating to bills pending in the Ohio
legislature, Senatoi Foraker said these
' were introduced In the state legislature
by A. K. Price, chairman of the com
‘ mitlee on the Judiciary in 1900. At the
subsequent session of the legislature
they were materially amended and
[ passed and still remain on the statute
books. The amendment made them
more objectionable to" the corporation,
he said.
Senator Foraker p educed a lett.
written Ip Price to the late Judge Wil
liam 1.1 Webb, of Athens, Ohio, who
had made some inquiry regarding the
. matter, and which letter, he said, vx
; plained it.
I Price wrote that the bills were pre
pared by ex-Governor Nash, then the
, executive of (Milo, and introduced by
. him (Price), embodying Nash's ideas
on corporate legislation The reason
.'they were not passed at the 1900 ses-
I sion of the legislature was because the
nationa. idm'nist rat ion at Washington
feared their | assage would jeopardize
'the electorate vote of Ohio. According
II to Price's letter, at no time ha i
Foraker communicated with him
■ regarding the measure. but that
i Governor Nash had said that Senator
Hanna had counseled him to abandon
the bill at that .session: that he (Han-
■ pat ha,! conferred with Foraker about
i tin matter and that Foraker concurred
in his views. Two years later the bill
was amended and passe,!.
Foraker said be did not recall having
nonsuited with Hanna about the bill,
but In view of this statement he pre-
I sumed that he had .om urred with
f i Hann i.

SUES HUSBAND WHO
DISCIPLINES HER BY
REFUSING TO TALK
Mrs. Marie Clayton told superior
court today that her husband. Ernest C.
Clhyton, believed that the proper meth
od of disciplining a wife was to give
her the famous West Point rebuke the
rule of silence. She said that she con
sidered It good grounds for divorce and
alimony.
In a bill brought against Clayton to
day she asserted that her husband had
lived with her for months at a time,
maintaining a strict silence. He broke
his last spell, she said, when he told
her to get a shotgun and kill herself.
Once, she told the court, he came |iome
drunk and informed her jauntily that |
he had been on a joy ride.

wht.li showed that the money I ar
rowed from Arcnuoiu was spoken of in
a previous letetr had been returned bv

Senator Paynter called Mr. Foraker's
attention to tli. fact that M 11. arst

IIP IT AUGUSTA
AI’GI’STA, GA.. Dec. 18. -Charging the
Hayne partisans with fraud in the may
oralty election here on December 4, the
contested election case brought by Dr.
J. It. Littleton, defeated candidate for
mayor, was begun in the superior court
room here today before Ordinary A. K.
Walton. The interest which has
shown from the first in the outcome of
the election and the probabilty of its
being successfully contested brought forth
a large crowd to witness the hearing.
Boykin Wright, representing L. C.
Hayne. the successful candidate, began
the argument. He contended that the
result of the election was declared De
cember 4 and the petitioned, filed Decem
ber 10, was one day too late.
He also argued that the prayer in the
amendment, asking the court to take
1 charge of the ballot box. was a new
jirocedure, and was not filed within the
five-day limit allowed by the stafut.es.
Ho asked the dismissal of this amend
ment.
Mr. Wright went further to show the
authority given for the opening and ex
amining of the ballot boxes and the
sanctity and in i iolability of the freeman’s
vofo. He argued that the examination of
the ballot boxes would be unconstitu
tional and without authority. Other
points in favor of the rontestee were ar
gued by Mr. Wright during the sitting,
which adjourned at 2 o’clock this after
noon.
The hearing will be resumed at 10
