At New Orleans Anglin lost track of
his wife, but followed Jester to Atlanta.
He shadowed Jester and followed him
to Macon one day. Later Anglin saw
his wife join Jester on the street. He
attacked the man he had followed
across the country, gave him a partial
beating, he say’s, nnd afterward he him
self was assaulted by his wife’s father,
who was in Macon with her. He al
leges that Jester instigated Mrs. Anglin
to institute suit for divorce, and al
leges that her allegations were false.
JUSTICE OF UNION’S
FIGHT NOT AT ISSUE,
SAYS GOVERNMENT
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. IS—After first
Informing the Jury of the discharge of the
defendant. Clarence E. Dowd, of Roches
ter, Judge A B. Anderson today ordered
the government to begin the opening ar
guments against the dynamite conspiracy
case.
Special District Attorney Noel opened
for the government. Noel began with a
general summary of the conspiracy’ from
Its Inception and followed by connecting
the various defendants therewith.
“We are not to consider whether this
fight of these men is Just or unjust, but
whether the laws of the country have
been violated.” began Mr. Noel. "This
case Is being tried here because the arm
of justice failed In different localities.
"There has never been such an impor
tant case tried In history.”
Beginning with the first explosion,
caused by McManlgal in Detroit, June 25,
1907, he continued through the long list
of depredations confessed to by a dyna
miter-informer.
"There were 33 explosions on work of
contractors who were not members of the
National Erectors' association and never
had any chance to Join it.” rakl Noel,
"and so you see this conspiracy was not
alone directed against the National Erect
ors' association.’'
Rumors of a plot to blow up the Fed
eral building caused considerable sup
pressed excitement this forenoon while
the trial was In progress.
The reports were started by a woman
telephoning to the Grave*. Detective

was on foot.

TO CLEAR SELF
Continued from Page One.
I<er fostered vicious legislation. - ' "I have
printed a letter in which Mr. Archbold
calls Senator Forakur's special atten
tion to a measure pending in the Ohio
legislature, and directs him to oppose
It," and "I am doing this for the pub
lic good."
No Order From
Archbold, He Says.
"No letter that has 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 he was supposed to have secured
tlie letters—- was September It, 1908. He
said that Hearst, In his speech that
night, referred to a letter from John D.
Archbold urging Foraker to support the
nomination of Judge Burkett, then a
candidate tor the supreme court of
Ohio,
"Judge Burkett and I,” said Foraker
“were 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 weigiit with me."
Why the Ohio
Bills Were Held Up.
Taking up the three Archbold letters
relating to bills pending in the Ohio
legislature, Senator Foraker said these
were introduced in the state legislature
by A. E. Price, chabman of the com
mittee 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 produced a letter
written by Price to the late Judge Wil
liam H. Webb, of Athens-, Ohio, who
had made some inquiry regarding the
matter, and which letter, he said, ex
plained it.
Price wrote that the bills were pre
pared by ex-Governor Nash, then the
executive of Ohio, and introduced by
him (Price), embodying Nash's ideas
on corporate legislation. The reason
they were not passed at the 1900 ses
sion of the legislature was because the
national administration at Washington
feared their passage would jeopardise
the electorate vote of Ohid. According
to Price's letter, at no time had
Foraker communicated with him
regarding the measure, but that
Governor Nash had said that Senator
Hanna had counseled him to abandon
the bill at that session; that he (Han
na) hud conferred with Foraker about
the matter and that Foraker concurred
in his views. Two years later the bill
was amended and passed.
Foraker said he did not recall having
consulted with Hanna about the bill,
but in view of this statement he pre
sumed that he had concu: red with
Hanna.

SUES HUSBAND WHO
DISCIPLINES HER BY
REFUSING TO TALK
• Mrs. Marte Clayton told superior
; court today that her husband. Ernest C.
! Clayton, believed that the proper meth
od of disciplining a wife was to give

I rule of silence. She said that she con

1 In a bill brought against Clayton to
day she asserted that her husband had
lived with her for months at a time,

UP IT AUGUSTA
AUGUSTA, 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. R. Littleton, defeated candidate for
mayor, was begun in the superior court
room here today before Ordinary A. R.
Waiton. The interest which has l<sen
shown from the first in the outcome of
the election and the probabfity of its
being successfully contested brought forth
a large crowd to witness the hearing.
Boykin Wright, representing L. C.
Bayne, 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
charge of the ballot box. w r as a new
procedure, and was not filed within the
five-day limit allowed by the statut.es.
He 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 inviolability of the freeman’s
vote. He argued that (lie examination of
the ballot boxes would be unconstitu
tional and without authority. Other
points in favor of the contestee were ar
gued by Mr. Wright during the sitting,
which adjourned at 2 o’clock this after
noon.
The bearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The fight over the Augusta mayoralty
has been waged in one form or another
since last summer, when the Hayne fac
tion refused to go into a primary with
the Littleton candidates.
