OM FELDER, ON STAND,
TELLSOFCUTTING AFFRAY
Thomas B, Felder, on the stand
Wednesday in Judge Ben Hill's court,
described In detail the attack alleged
10 have been made upon him~-in the
Kimball House on the night of Au
gust 3, for Which G. K. Vason, of
College Park, was on trial, charged
with assault with intent to commit
murder. Mr. Felder was given a
cross-examination by Ben Conyers,
counsel for the defense.
“1 did not know Vason, except by
sight,” said Mr. Felder, in reply to
opening questions. “I had seen him
at the door of the House of Repre
sentatives, but did not know his
name. ‘
“1 went to the Kimball House on
the night of August 8 about 7 o’clock
to attend a caucus of the anti-recall
faction in the Legislature.”
“Were you taking an active part in
the Savannah recall bill legislation?”
ssked Luther Z. Rosser, of counsgel
for the State.
“A very considerable part,” said
Mr. Felder. “I directed all the legis-
Jative movements against it.”
Saw Two Men, He Says.
‘The caucus was being held in
Room 106, he continued. “As I had
another engagement I addressed the
meeting early and left the room. I
turned through the corridor into the
main hall and started for the Harris
headquarters, Roem 119,
“At the corner of the hall near De
catur street I saw two men. One of
them was Vason and the other a
taller man with a moustache, who 1
never saw before nor have seen
since. They stepped in front of me
and obstructed the passage.
“Vason sald: ‘This is Tom Felder,
now,” and the tall man put out his
hand as though to shake hands. T
extended my hand and he grasped
and held it ig~a tight grip. He
looked tow&rd'{‘ Vason, who said:
‘That's the damned scoundrel that
killed our Savannah bill.’
“Then he dded: ‘He's the scoundrel
who said he was going to camp on
Bill Burwell's trail’ (Mr. Burwell was
Speaker of the Wouse.)
“T said: ‘Gentlemen, there is no
difference between Mr., Burwell and
me, and no need of any trouble here.’
T lerked my hand loose and tried to
sidle down the hall.
Swears Vason Cut Him.
“Vason put his hand in his pocket,
as though to seize a pistol, and kept
turning in my way. I knew there
were people in room 119, and tried to
Teach it. Just then Vason jerked his
hand from his pocket, and I saw the
flash of a blade. He lunged viclously
and stabbed me.
“We continued to struggle, and I
tried to drag hinv into room 119. We
#Fot into a room where there were
tree men, Ryals, Jordan and Arnold.
I called them to help, but they grab
bed me. We had fallen over a trunk.
1 told them to get the other man, as
he was stabbing me to death, and
then they separated us, escorted him
to the door and liberated him. I was
rlaced on a bed and afterward sent
to Bt. Joseph's Hospital.”
Dr. Willls Westmoreland testified
as to the extent of Mr. Felder's
wound, a deep and dangerous cut. Mrs
Felder stood before the jury, opened
lis clothing and showed the scar in
his body. He was put through a
cross-examination by attorneys for
hoth sides.
Examine Felder’'s Knife.
Several witnesses were called to
fdentify a small knife in a leather
case as one taken from Mr. Felder's
rocket immediately after the affray.
They identifled it, and said it had
heen In the case, which was snapped
tight, and bore no blood stains.
This testimony was taken to an
swer a statement made by Vason just
after the affray that “if Felder was
stabbed, he did it himself with his
own knife.”
Dr. C. M. Ledbetter, of Guyton, tes
tified he was in the' Kimbal lobby

just after the stabbing and was using
the telephone. He said he heard Va
son, a few feet away, say to some
body:
“I told him if he continugd to camp
on Bill Burwell's&mjl as Cole Blease
camped on his I would kill him.”
“l asked Vason if he was the man
who stabbed Felder,” said Dr. Led
better. “He answered, ‘lf Felder is
stabbed he did it himself with his
own knife.” "
Jury Held Together.
After the cross-examination of Mr.
Felder, Judge Hill adjourned court
until 9 o’clock Thursday, announcing
he would hold members of the jury
together,
The jury was selected from the Grand
Jury lists, despite the protest of the
defense. Four panels were drawn and
the following men were selected for
srvice: J. H. Hilsman, R. A. Donalson,
F. J. Merriam, Fred W. Cole, M. C.
Strickland, D. B. Baker, M. S. Harper,
E. M, Page, W. T, Watts, E, F.
Cox, B. W. Lovett and E. L. Hum
phries.
The defense was represented by Ben
Conyers, who challenged the taking of
the Grand Jury lists from which to
choose the trial jury. His objection
was overruled by Judge Hill, who
himself had ordered this to be done.
The State was represented by Solici
tor Eb. Wmiams, who was assisted
by Luther Rosser and John A. Boy
kin, Solicitor-elect, Mr. Rosser took
up the work of examining the wit
nesses.
At the State’s table sat Mr. Felder
and several prominent Anti-Saloon
League workers, among them W. S,
Witham, W. Woods White and Eu
gene Callaway,
Elder's Testimony.
The first witness called was H. A.
Elder, Representative from Tattnall
County. He said that the evening of
the stabbing he was attending a con
ference in the room of W. E. Stubbs,
either No. 106 or No. 109, Kimball
House. The meeting had been called,
he said, to discuss plans for fighting
the attempt in the Legislature to re
call Savannah city officials. He said
both Felder and Vason were in the
room and Felder was addressing the
chairman ot the caucus when he no
ticed Vason walking around Felder,
apparently “sizing him up.”
Elder said Felder announced at the
close of his talk that he was going
to the headquarters of Governor Har
ris, on the same floor of the hotel,
and left the room. Vason, Elder said,
left the room shortly before Felder
did. Elder said he next saw Vason
near the elevatdr shaft on the floor
on which the conference had been
‘held, and later saw him in the custo
dy of the police,
Elder, on cross-examination, said
Vason, so far as he knew, was not
fighting the recall, and never before
had attended one of the conferences
of the dnti-recall men.
Ask Rate Rise on
An increase in its freight rate on
Sea Island cotton was urged before
the Railroad Commission Wednes
day by C. McD. Davis, general freight
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, one
of the carriers’ witnesses in the rate
case. This proposed increase would
apply to all petitioning lines except
the Central of Georgia, which now has
an individual rate prescribed by the
commission in 1913.
The rate sought is tHe same as that
prescribed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission between Florida
and Blackshear.
Randall Clifton, assistant freight
agent of the Southern Railway, pre
sented proposed changes in rates on
agricultural implements and vehicle
material. Increases are sought in
nearly every instance.

Also she thinks that dancing will in

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.-
A meeting to pave the way for ar
bitration between the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company and its
former employees who are on strike
is to be held at the Red Men's Wig
wam at 2 o’clock Wednesday aft
ernoon, at the call of the four rail
road brotherhoods.
The Mrotherhoods have asked that
members of all trade unions in the
city and all commercial and civic or
ganizations attend the meeting. They
plan to begin a movement which
they hope will bring about a peace
ful settlement of the differences be
tween the men and the company.
Disorders resulting from the strike
were few during the last circus day
and Tuesday night. They included
an attempt to short circuit the heavy
volt line from Bull Sluice station, the
throwing of a bottle from the Kiser
Building and the rocking of Inman
Yards cars at Howell Station.
The Journal of Labor, of which Je
rome Jones is editor, Tuesday began
the publication of a dally issue, in
which the interests of the strikers are
to be given due publicity. The first
issue said that, while the three daily
newspapers of Atlanta were entirely
in harmony with union labor and
employed union men in all depart
ments, they could not be expected to
devote more space daily to the strike
than the news developments justified,
and for this reason there was a need
for an official organ to aid the street
car men in winning their fight. Strik
ing carmen ‘'Tuesday evening were
selling copies of The Journal of La
bor on the streets, and will continue
to do so.
Sheriff Mangum has announced
that, since there no longer is any dis
order in connection with the strike,
he shortly will dismiss many of the
special deputies who have been guard
ing the cars and the trolley com
pany’'s property. At the meeting of
the Police Board Wednesday evening
at 8 o'clock, the policemen likely will
be put back on the eight-hour sched
ule. They have bheen on twelve-hour
shifts since the strike began.

'Prison T
Months' Prison Term
Jack Knott, of Spalding County, was
due Wednesday to start serving a six
months' sentence in the Atlanta Peni
tentiary for conducting a moonshine
still below Griffin. Jagk talked himself
into prison, according to the belief of
the court officials, He made a 30-min
ute’detailed statement in which he told
all about the family cat, the dog, the
sow, the pigs and how he did not run
the still. His lawyer tried to stop him,
but in vain. Jack's defense statement
was as lengthy as the old-time preach
er's prayer, and he never recovered
from it.
P. A. Johnson was fined SIOO ahd sen
tenced to six months for cnnductinx a
still near Griffin. He must pay the fine
first and then begin serving. = Revenue
raiders say he Is an old offender and a
enitentiary sentence will do him good.
