Put on The Stand in his Own
Defense.
DIDN'T KNOW THEIR ILANS.
But Advised Them Against Murder,
lie Explains the Fatal Telegram,
Dicus Said Ross Knew Where Annie
Skelton was.
Huntsville, Ala., July s.—Upon
the convening of court this morn
ing the defendant Judge Talley,
was placed on the stand and his
examination consumed most of
the day.
He made asb a ght.torward state
ment, acquitted himsel f most cred
itably and on cross-examination
failed to weaken in any material
point his statement. He went in
to the details of where he was in
January and up to Febuary 'he 4 h
He to'd where he held court when
he came home and why.
He declared that there
was any understand ng betwee
himself and the Saelt-ms that ne
wa- to be telegraphed for whil e
away from home. He never knew
f J
I or heard that the Skeltons intend
ed ai y violence to Ross until atte r
they had left Scottsboro on Febu
ary 4' h.
The first intimation he ever had o:
lb ->s s relations with Annie Skelton
was on January 4th. Two days late l
lie a-ked Bob about it and read the
letters Bob had from Ross to Annie-
They agr- ed the plan to be pursued
was to get Annie home, h t Itoss go
I away to prevent publicity of the
scandal and save the life of her old
mother.
In this conversation Dave Skelton
was present, He spoke of killing Roes
but the judge never saw Dave again
until after the killing. This was the
only time violence to Ross was evei
mentioned by the Skeltons to his
knowledge.
On February 3rd he again saw Bob
and discussed away to find out where
Aunie was and agreed to gjt Brown
Ross’s attorney, or Dr* Roreax. his
family physician to see Ross and fimi
out. He saw Bob Sunday morning
about S o’clock on horseback. The
judge asKed him. twice where he was
going. Bob would only say “up the
read.”
Alter the boys had be°n gone some
time Mrs Tally told him what was up
and that was the first time he knew it.
His wife sent their son to the stable
for a horse. The boy John did th v
without his know edge or without
any intimation to him whatever.
Judge Talley then told aii about
going to the te egr eph office an 1
the conversation with Dr. Roreax
and Judge Bridges, and while ha
did not recollect what passed ex
actly as they detailed, for they
might renumber better, owing to
his trouble and great mental strain
at that time, he did remember say
ing to Roreax, ‘T am so broken up
I dont know what to do.”
He was alarmed for his brother
in-law and sent a telegram to
HudlestoD, knowing be was mayor
and to have Ross arrested, believ
ing if Ross was advised of the
Skeltons coming, the Ross party,
if they got to Stevenson first,
would place themselves in posi
lion to kill the Skeltons as they
came up. The judge said he could
not tell why he used the language
he did.
He saw afterwards that it was
not such as he should have used
and he went back to change it, but
the operator had gone. He used
the words, “say nothing” to pre
vent publicity of the scandal and
to avoid trouble with the Skelton
boys by his interference. He went
to the telegraph office after the
killing, he said, to get the address
of Sinclair Randall, of the Conser
vatory of Music, Cincinnati, who
had previously telegraphed him
GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE
c
that Annie was there.
Gooch Dicus, a brother Odd Fel
low of Ross, wnet to the latter’s house
Friday afternoou before the killing
at Ross’s request. Ross wanted Dicus
to get his withdrawal card which he
was to do the n< xt Monday night and
see him on Tuesday. Ross asked Di
cus what the people said as to where
Annie Skelton was. Dicus told him
some said she was in Sjotflpboro
with the Skeltons aid some said Rost
had her somewhere Ross replied
that the Skeltons did not know where
she was but he knew. Ross added that
he would see her again. Dicus advised
him to stop or the Skelton boys
would kill him. Ross replied “Iu was
worth the risk . ’’
Jim Skelton, seeing Dicus w t
Ross, asked him on Saturday i ight
if Ross told him where Annie was. Di
(jus said that Ross did not, but R «s
->a d he knew and would see her again
Dicus said he was afraid of both Ross
and the Skeltons.
