AT MODJESKA TOMORROW
In Afternoon State Showed Ip Much
Stronger in Vernon Anderson Case;
Verdict For Voluntary Manslaughter
Defendant’s Attorneys Fought
Hard for Anderson Who Got
Three Year Sentence. Mas
terful Address by Solicitor
General.
MRS. WALLACE TESTIFIED
TO HEARING MRS. GREEN
CURSE JOHN GREEN.
Also That Mrs. Green Told
Her Anderson Shot John in
Back. Mr.. Pierce and Mr.
Cohen Made Very Able Talks.
Vernon E. Anderson, charged with
the murder of John Green on the 10th
of last October, was found guilty of
voluntary manslaughter at 12:25
Tuesday morning and was immediate- ;
ly sentenced to a term of three years j
In (he penitentiary. The case was
given to the Jury about 11 o’clock !
Monday night and they reached an j
agreement before they slopped de
liberating.
Tho verdict was not a surprise, after
the evldonco at tho afternoon session
was heard. Solicitor General Frank
lin rested the state’s rase Just before
the dinner hour Monday and In the
afternoon the defense put up Mrs.
Walker Green, mother of the accused,
and young Anderson himself. Each
of them made statements very similar I
to those made by Mary Henderson
and Oscar Walton, the two negro wit
nesses whom tho slate put on the
stand and who entrapped the slate,
according to tho solicitor general
These negroes made first-class
witnesses for ihc defense. The
testimony of Mrs. Green was sub
stantially to the effect that John
Green was drinking nnd when she re
monstrated with him about the man
ner In which ho had driven her mule
he cursed her, that her son remon
strated with him and Green told him I
that he would cut him to death, tha(P;
Green drew a knife and Anderson
shot hint while Green had his hand 1
raised as if to cut the young man.
In Rebuttal.
The state, in rebuttal, placed Mrs.
Wallace, a neighbor, on the stand.
Hhe Haiti that on the night of the kill
ing she heard Mrs. Green cursing
John Green. Witness said she lived
about 150 yards uway. When the
shooting occurred she ran over to the
Green home and Hhe said that it seem
ed to tier Mrs. Green, Vernon Ander
son and John Green were all drinking.
Bite said she could smell whiskey on
them. Mrs. Green told her. said the
witness, tlint Vernon shot John Green
as the latter was Hitting on the steps
and from tho back. She said that
Mrs. Green told her Anderson had to
pull a curtain aside In order to shoot
hint. This was told, witness said, In
the excitement Immediately following
the shooting during which excitement
Mrs. Green fainted.
The Story of the Two Knives.
A Mr. Tong, an undertaker’s assist
ant, testified that he nnd Bailiff Cook,
of the superior court, took John
Green's knife out of his pocket and
that it was closed. This was after
John Green had died and the body
had been prepared for burial. Mr.
Tong said he marked the knife and
Identified a knife produced by tho so
licitor general as the one. It was a
small knife. The defense had Intro
duced In evidence another knife pur
porting to bo that of John Green found
open under the steps, so It was said,
near the place where John Green
crawled after he was shot. Mrs. Wal
ker Green testified that John had two
knives. However, the fact that the
knife taken out of Green’* pocket
after he was dead was a very small
knife. Incapable of Inflicting much
damnge, and that la was closed,
was taken advantage of hy the
solicitor general who charged that
the second knife was no more nor less
than a ’’plant," put there for tho pur
pose of assisting the defense.
Vernon Anderson was put on the
stand a second time during the nftor
noon to make a statement ns to the
charge by Mrs. Wallace that ho was
drinking -on tho night of the shoot
ing. He said that he never took a
drop of whiskey In Ills life, but did
drink beer occasionally. A Miss San -
ilorn, of Qraeewood, and a Miss Hob
erson, of the Green neighborhood on
the old Savannah Hoad, both testified
that they rode in a buggy with An
derson the afternoon oft killing nnd
that ha was tmber Mr. Tom Hramlon.
Mr. Wallace and Mono Green were
put up hy tho state to show
that Anderson did drink and
before Mr. Brandon could he
stopped he told of n party at which
Anderson wan drinking nnd of threat
ening to arrest him because he dis
charged a pistol several times. Wit
nesses were put up hy the defense to
prove that It whs 300 yards from the
Green home to the Wallace home and
that Mrs Wallace could not have
heard Mrs. Green cursing John Green,
as she swore she had.
Both sides reeled about 5:90 p. m ,
and Mr. Wallace liarce made the
opening address for the defense. It
was a splendid address. He urged the
jury to acquit the young man whir
had shot In the defense of the mother,
who brought him into the world. He
aald Vernon Anderson would have
been less than a man had he done
otherwise. Mr. Pierce said John
Green’s character was hail, that lie
drank with negroes, had been run out
of Burke County for unlawful acts
committed there, had pleaded guilty
to assault with Intent to murder lii
the Richmond supsrlor court and.
when fired with liquor, was a demon.
Mr. Pierce paid a tribute to the
mother in splendid language. His
speech was an earnest nnd able one.
Mr. Cohen in Conclusion.
Court adjourned at 6: SO until 8 p. m.
when Mr C Henry Cohen concluded
for the defense. Mr. Cohen, as Is
well-known, is one of the ablest at
torneys In this section In a criminal
matter, whether for the state or the
defense, nnd an Impassioned address
of more than an hour he pleaded for
the jury to restore the 17-year-old boy
to thla mother for he, since her hus
band's death. Is being relied on os her
protector. Mr. Cohen said that after
John Green had celled Mrs. Green
that unspeakable name, which has
caused more trouble than any other
In this world, that he would have been
a poltroon and a coward had he not
gone to her defense. He pictured John
, Green as a beast and a degenerate
fired with liquor and declared that
’ Vernon Anderson only did his duty
when he shot him to protect his own
life after Green had Insulted Ander
son’s mother. ,
Mr. Cohen laid much stress on An
derson’s lack of malice and said there
could be no murder where there was
no malice. He said Anderson and
Green had slept together for three
months. He slso laid much stress on
| the conduct of Anderson after the
shooting, of how he had laid John
j Green on his own bed, of his going
to the Wallace home and telephoning
for a doctor and how he later came to
Augusta and surrendered to Sheriff
Plunkett and told the sheriff that he
shot Green because the latter had
'cursed his mother and threatened his
| llfe ’
The Solicitor General.
Solicitor General Franklin began the
concluding argument for the state
j shortly after 9 o'clock. The able so
! Heitor general had been entrapped by
; his own witnesses earlier in tho day
and it was freely predicted, after the
manner in which Mary Henderson and
i Oscar WnJton testified that there
would be an acquittal. However, in
i the afternoon the slate began to show
up strong, and put up good witnesses
lln rebuttal. The solicitor general be-
Igan by deprecating the manner in
which John Green’s name had been
dragged In slime and filth by the de
fendant's attorneys and stated that
when the Jury was asked to restore
the defendant to his mother, what
about the restoration of the dead hus
band and father to John Green’s wife
and child. The wife and child were In
I the court room during the day y ester
j day.
Mr. Franklin said that certain facts
about tho case w r ore indisputable, one
of wtiich was that John Green was
shot in the back. He said that John
Green was shot In the back while he
] was sitting on the steps of the home.
Just as Mrs. Wallace liad been Inform
ed by Mrs. Green soon after the trag
edy.
He said that the two negro wit
nesses the state had put up and who
had entrapped the state were negroes
who didn't tell the whole truth until
after they had seen the “layyers in the
I Dyer Hulldlng.” The solicitor general
: said that the second knife alleged to
have tieen found open near the body
was nothing more or less than a
"plant.” He pleaded for the Jury to
convict the defendant, although not
once did he urge a conviction for first
degree murder. He, however, said that
Anderson should not get off Scot free,
us the defendant’s attorneys had ask
ed. Mr. Franklin said that not one
In fifty people who committed homi
cides were entitled to go free.
The solicitor generai’s effort was
masterful and he was warmly con
gratulated. Hy his afternoon’s work
and Ills splendid speech Mr. Franklin
pulled his case out of the fire, so to
speak.
After Mr. Franklin’s address it was
freely predicted that there would be
no acquittal. However, Anderson’s
attorneys put up a most able defense
for him and no defendant ever had a
more loyal set of lawyers. In fact,
many think today that they were re
markably successful In getting their
client off with three years.
THOSE OWING SPECIAL
TAXES NOW BE LINED
Thirty Days Grace Expired at
Midnight Last Night. Uncle
Sam Will Make You “Come
Across.”
At midnight last night all men, In
dividuals, firms and corporations liable
for tho special revenue tax being col
lected by the commissioner of Internal
n venue, under the set of October 23,
1914, who bad not made their returns,
nnd paid ns required by the act, were
put in the class of those to whom Is
lidded a 50 per cent penalty for failure,
or neglect or foregetfulness, or because
of any other excuse they may offer.
Prom reports of H. W. Perkins,
deputy collector of Internal revenue,
some of this city seem to think they
US' fooling with the city of Augusta,
nnd are allowing themselves to hooome
delinquent so ns to give the municipal
authorities n Job collecting ••delin
quent taxes," but they will wake tip
with a Jolt when they realize that
their Unde Sam Is the man saying,
come across, nnd when he speaks once
he afterwards acts. Then, too, they
will find that he gets the money quick
and argues the matter with men after.
The United States government Is
never the plaintiff In n suit to civmpel
payment of license tax. The govern
ment Just seizes and sells property cov
ered by the tax. nnd then If the party
Is dissatisfied he may bring the suit
for redress—and tho burden of proof is
on him.
In tho meantime. Unde Sam has got
his money, and ho generally manages
to hold it.

US! MEETING OF
THE OLD SOUND
County Commissioners Held
Regular Monthly Meeting on
Tuesday Morning.
The regular monthly meeting of the
hoard of commissioners of Richmond
county was held Tuesday morning.
Only routine business was transacted,
with a few exceptions.
Capt. T. H. Stringer, superintend
ent of the county stockade, asked to
be reimbursed to the extent of 2150
for a rewardi he offered for the re
capture of "Steeple Hat" a desperate
negro who escaped from the stockade
some time ago after shooting a guard.
The state offered only SSO reward,
which was insufficient Inducement to
get officers to risk their lives in re
capturing the negro who had shot five
men, killing two of them. Thus a
reward of S2OO offered for the re
capture of the engro proved to be an
inducement that caused the negro’s
arrest some weeks ago. He is now in
the stockade serving a sentence of
four years for shooting Mr. Eubanks,
a furniture collector, and he will he
Indicted no doubt at the next session
of the grand Jury for shooting tl\e
guard.
The report of Supt. Pilcher, of the
county home, showed that there were
100 inmales, nil well fed and clothed,
and contented. Attached to the re
port of the superintendent was a
clipping from the Atlanta Journal
which showed that It costs $28,000
per year to maintain 100 county home
Inmates In Fulton county against on
ly SIO,OOO to maintain 100 In Rich
mond, the contrast making a remark
ble showing in regard to the economy
with which the affairs of the Rich
mond county home are administered.
Today’s meeting was the last one
of tiie old board. On January Ist next
Messrs. H. R. Pund and M. C. B. Hol
ley will succeed Messrs. G. H. Nix
on and E. F. Vordery. Mr. Pund was
present at Tuesday's meeting.

Game Here Friday Between A. R. C. and
Atlanta High to be a Classy Scrap
The gridiron battle on Friday be
tween the local preps and the Boys’
High eleven of Atlanta, gives every
promise if being the "classiest" scrap
local fans have witnessed in many
moons. It is seldom that Augustan s
have an opportunity to see a real
championship contest and this has
given to the coming game a peculiar
interest to those in this vicinity who
are interested in the king of sports.
Boys' High and Richmond Academy
have eliminated all other high school
aggregations from the race for the
title. These two elevens are admitted
to have the edge over all others. The
winner will have a clear cut claim to
the honor.
ROTARIANS BUT
STATE PRODUCTS
Savannah and Augusta Work
ing Together. Results of
Georgia Products Dinner.
Testimonial for Col. J. Rice
Smith.
According to the Savannah News of
Sunday the Rotary Club of Savannah
1b preparing to present a handsome
testimonial to Col. J. Rice Smith, of
Augusta as a token of their apprecia
tion of his great speech on Nov.
20th.
A close bond of mutual interest has
grown up of late between the business
men of Savannah and Augusta, and,
through the agency of the two Rotary
Clubs, the two sister cities are per
haps in closer touch with each other
at present than they have ever been
before. On the occasion of the Geor
gia Products Dinner each Augusta
Rotarian who visited Savannah was
naturally sought out by the Savan
nah man to whose business his cor
responded, and out of the acquaint
ance made at that time a consider
able mass of interurban business has
resulted. Augusta imports a quantity
of articles of commerce from else
where which might be as readily
purchased in Savannah, and vice
versa. The two cities might practice,
and seem to have initiated, a co
operation of the greatest mutual ad
vantage. By keeping two bodies of
laborers at work within the state, ex
changing the products of the one for
those of the other, the benefit to the
state is doubled over the condition
where one body of laborers earns and
spends its money outside the borders.
In other words, internal trade, as
far as it will go in free competition, is
more advantageous to to a common
wealth than foreign commerce. Which
Is an economic truism. But mark
the condition! AS FAR AS IT WILD
GO IN FREE COMPETITION! It
would not benefit the state for Au
gusta to buy in Savannah what it
could buy cheaper elsewhere. That Is
the fallacy of protective tariffs. Each
section of the world should devote it
self to the production of what it can
deliver cheaper than anybody else,
and to that production alone. Each ar
ticle should be produced where con
ditions are most favorable for it. This
compined with free trade, would en
able every man all over the world to
buy what he needed at the lowest pos
sible price, and thereby the world
would economize values which now
are wasted.
Fortunately there are no Interstate
tariffs. Augusta business men would
do well to look Into this matter of
buying in Savannh or other Georgia
products wherever they can, thereby
benefiting their state, and In the end
themselves.
This question is of ever-present in
terest to the Rotary Club and will be
the subject of considerable discussion
in the near future.
Mr. Howard Stafford's talk at Wed
nesday’s meeting is expected to be
along these lines.
Being the first Wednesday in the
month, the club will hold a closed
meeting, to which no guests will be
invited, and at which proposals for
new memberships will be made. The
time will he as usual, from 2:16 to 3:15
p. m. at the Albion hotel.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER
Players Numbered.
A new. stunt, for Augusta, will be
pulled in that the Academy players
will be numbered. Every player will
have a big number on the back of his
jersey and this number will, corre
spond to the number opposite that
player's name on the printed list,
which will be distributed to those
present. This will enable spectators
to distinguish every man in any given
play.
This innovation is expected to add
greatly to the interest in the game.
The plan Is rather new, having been
put into practice but a few times.
Just another evidence of Augusta
keeping right up with the times.
