Declaring the victim of w’hite slav
ers is always more worthy of belief
than those who have dragged her to
her ruin, United States Commissioner
Carter Friday morning held Samuel
A. Stoe and his wife to await the
action of the Federal Grand Jury on
the testimony of Mrs. Annie Bond, 18,
who charges that the Stoes trans
ported her to places In Alabama and
South Carolina and lived off her il
legal earnings. Their bond was fixed
at $1,000 each, which they furnished.
Mrs. Bond was the onl ywitness in
troduced by the Government District
Attorney Alexander and L. J. Baley,
of the Bureau of Investigation, held
hack the greater part of their evi
dence.
Mrs. Bond reiterated her story of
having been lured to a Whitehall
street rooming house by Stoe and
rdugged. Afterward, she testified.
Stoe toook her to Birmingham and
registered her at a hotel as his wife.
After she had been with Stoe in
Birmingham for several days, the
girltestifled, Mrs. Stoe came and took
her to other Alabama towns and to
different places in Georgia and
South Carolina.
Mrs. Bond testified that on each
trip either Stoe or Mrs. Stoe paid her
railroad fare. One trip with Mrs.
Stoe, Mrs. Bond testified, consumed
six weeks’ time. Among the towns
she said she visited with Mrs. Stoe
were Spartanburg and Greenville, S.
C., where she said Mrs. Stoe put her
In a hotel or resort and collected her
earnings, giving her just enough for
her living expenses.
Part of the money, Mrs. Bond said,
Mrs. Stoe sent to her husband. She
declared also that Mrs. Stoe took
some money from her that had been
given to her by her husband only a
few days before she was married.
Stoe and his wife were placed on
the stand by their attorneys. Watt
Kelly and L. H. Foster. Both denied
they had ever taken Mrs. Bond to
any points outside of Georgia, and
Stoe denied he had lured her into the
rooming house on Whitehall street
and drugged her.
Mrs. Stoe admitted that she had
been an inmate of resorts in various
Georgia and Alabama towns, but de
clared her husband was unaware of
the life she led.
Following Mrs. Stoe’s testimony,
her attorneys introduced a number of
character witnesses, who swore that
the character of the Stoes was good.
Among them were Mrs. Beta Frazier,
of No. 20 Lumpkin street: F. J.
Stoe, a brother of the defendant; J.
D. Copeland, of No. 191 Whitehall
street; Mrs. M. A. Kinnebrew, of No.
191 Whitehall street, and H. L. Reed
er.
The State’* attorneys answered the
attacks of the defense on three ju
rors who were alleged to have been
biased when they entered the Jury
box, and also the criticism of the
court's charge to the jury. Affidavits
by Foreman S. W. Palmer, of the
Godbee Jury, and Olin B. Brown, <
A. Matthews and C. A. Boston, of
Stellaville, denied that Palmer said
Mrs. Godbee ought to hang? as E. S.
Alexander had declared.
