JR, Attorney for Administrator. dt.8,15,tl (Trade Mark) 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.

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.

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. DEATHS SMITH, MRS. ELLEN—Died yester day afternoon at her home on up per Broad street, in the 90th year of her age.
