"neighbors" that as governor It had
been "a large part of his labor and
toil and aim to show the people
of the state that you could take a
man from Olive street and make
him a successful governor.” He
will hear the returns at Tammany
Hall. Colonel Roosevelt and his
wife after voting returned to their
home at Oyster Bay to await the
returns, which will be delivered to

more than 300 speeches but was

former secretary to President
Roosevelt, presided at the meeting.
“I could not put anything over
on an audience in Oyster Bay." said
Mr. Roosevelt, "for all of you have
known me since I was knee high
to a grasshopper. I even knew the
chairman of the meeting when he
had a full head of hair, and that
was sometime ago. But I am glad
to wind up here among people
whom I like and who I hope like
me.”
Governor Smith likewise put the
finishing touch to his campaign for
re-election with an appearance be
fore home people.” He paraded in
a torch light procession in the
lower eastside and made two
speeches, receiving ovations such as
the easts side gives only to it
heroes.
"My opponent,” the governor sal.l
"came over here with a little hand
shaking and a lot of red fire and
thinks he can make himself out as
part and parcel of the eastside.”

TWO STORE BANDITS
GET 18 YEARS EACH,
ONE ELEVEN YEARS
Jury Quickly Finds Three
Men Guilty In Case Alleging
Attempt to Rob J. B. White
Store and Shooting of
Night Watchman
Deliberating some 15 minutes a
jury in superior court Monday eve
ning returned a verdict of guilty in
the cases of D. W. Watson. August
Kohler and .Toe Burke, charged with
assault with intent to murde.r by
shooting William B. Gill, in the
store of J. B. White & Company on
the night of August 31st. and charg
ed with attempted burglary of the
premises. Judge A. 1., Franklin
sentenced Watson and Kohler to
serve 18 years each on the chain
gang, while a cliaingang sentence of
11 years was imposed on Burke.
The charge of burglary carried with
it IX years and that for assault with
intent to murder 7 years.
The entire day was consumed in
the trial of the case, most of the
time being devoted to cross ex
aminations of the state’s witnesses
by G. C. Palmer, of Columbus, Ga„
defendants attorney, in a fruitless
effort to break down the case of
the state. The harder he worked to
get his clients out of the toils of
the law the tighter Solicitor General
Hains drew the ropes, until at last
the attempt of the atorney for he
defendants to hedge his case and
upset that of the prosecution went
down in hopeless defeat.
GOT BLACK BAG FROM
MAN NAMED SHERMAN
In his statement to the jury Aug
ust Kohler, one of the defendants,
pleaded that he was innocent of
the charges and stated that neither
he nor his companions were in Au
gusta on the night of the crimes.
Rut. that on August 30th, he Wat
son, Burke and "another man” by
the name of Sherman left Aiken at
11:30 o’clock for Augusta, where
they remained for a few minutes.
Leaving Augusta the party went to
Savannah arriving in that city
about 6 o’clock in the afternoon.
Arriving at Savannah, Kohler said
that Sherman hung around at the
Hicks Hotel about twenty minutes,
then Sherman entered the hotel and
in a short time came down with a
black bag (one of those placed in
evidence and contained burglar’s
tools and asked that i)t be de
livered to a "party” at Macon. In
about thirty minutes a lunch was
secured, and according to Kohler
the party left for Macon en route
to New Orleans. He said tjjat they
were driving direct for Louisville
and worethen going over to Macon.
Sherman remained in Savannah,
according to Kohler, to see some
parties.
According to Kohler, he and and
the other two defendants, on the
return trip from Savannah, passed
through Statesboro, Millen, Woy
neshoro, getting lost and arriving
at Thomson, at which place he
claims they were attempting to
read road directions when they were
arrested by Sheriff Atkins. He said
that they did not know what they
had been arrested for and decided
to keep quiet until they could get
a chance to tell what they knew in
court.
This statement was corroborated
by Watson and Burke, who told
the jury that there was no use
covering the same ground. Watson
denied shooting Mr. Gill.
BURKE SAID HE WAS
VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES
Deputy Sheriff Gary Whittle in
rebuttal testimony, testified that
Burke stated that he was a victim
of circumstances, that he did not
know the other two prisoners and
intended to leave them at Thom
son. Sheriff Atkins, of McDuffie,
stated that one oft he young men
slipped out of the car and dodged
in the rear of it in an attempt to
make his escape, hut was stopped
when he was told that If he did not
do so he would be shot. According
to the testimony of Mr. Whittle,
the statements of one of the de
fendant’s to the jury conflicted with
a previous statement made by him
to Mr. Whittle ns to his movements
Aiken and Augusta.
The case for the state was han
dled throughout by Mr. Hains. The
defendants were represented by
Henry Howard, Clarence Powell,
John King and G. C. Powell.
