The Budges trial in the Super

conversation among the people of
the city.
Seldom two Romans mret that
the subject is not raised by one
and engaged in by both.
In the counting room, in the
office, the store, the worksh< p oi
on the street, everything is talk
ing the “Bridges case’’
And s> for as the Hustler Os
Rome reporters can learn there is
a most mateiial change in public
opinion n> b< half of the defen
dant.
This cha ge is largely attribu
ted to the developments in the
Superior court room, yesterday
afternoon when Judge Branham,
for the defense, forced the hand
of the state under order of the
court, compelled City Court Judge
George Harris to give the names
of tLe parties who retained him
to assist in the prosecution
As published in yesterday af
ternoon’s Hustler Os Rome
he proceedings at times were
most dramatic al l lhe time de
cidedly bf-osational.
The defence after securing
the names of four of tho retainers
of Judge George Harris and learn
ing that one of these was Deputy
Sheriff Redmond and »hat a part
of the Jury was su n moused by
him said jurors were oljccted to.
This in cessitated the drawing
of other Jurors and at a late hour
last ii gbt the Sheriff's office had
deputies hustling all over Floyd
county to get the jurors drawn in

a narrow escape.
Ocher officers in obeying the
orders of th“ court had equally aS

so much word as r ail and at an
early hour this morning the sec

finished :

This jury was selected from the
84jurors that had been summons
ed.
Then the case was put upon
trial. In opening for the prosecu

lengthy review or defense of his
connection with the case. He was
promptly notified by his Honor,
Judge Harns was not upon trial,
and that he must confine himself
to the case that the jury had
qualified for and been selected to

The first witness put on the
stand was Hon. R. A . Denny the
member of the county school
I
' onrd, who on yestercay retained
j.; . dge George Harris, after Judge
Branham began to insist upon
knowing who the parties were
retaining the city court Judge. •
Mr. Denny, however was only
put on the stand to identify cer
tain papers and books connected
with the Bridges administration
of the office of county school com
missioner. Upon cross exami
nation Mr. Denny admitted that
the board knew but precious little
about Mr. Bridges bond.
Assistant Solicitor General Har

stand to testify as to certain pa

from the Solicitor General's jffice
during the.former trial,
Mr. Hamilton upon the cross ad
mi’ted that hecouid i.ot be posi

Mr. Denny was then called to

10 minutes for the noon hour re

THIS AFTERNOON.
At 3.30 this afternoon Mr.
Denny was on the stand, having
been put on at 2 o’clock. He was
being examined by the solicitor
general and bis evidence was
about the the same as given in by
him oi. the former trial.
Several passengers at arms
were engaged in by council during
the afternoon, with now and then
a tiust and parry bet ween council
for defense and the shrewd
attorney witness. The case now
looks as if it tn ty be long drawn
out, there being a host of witnessi

POSITION KNOWN
BAILEY DENIES A S i DRY
PRINTED IN NEW YORK
TFLLSWHITE’S ELECTION
The Eminent Trxan Discusses
the Chicago Platform.
Washington, Jan. 25--One of
the silliest of all stories that have
been written about the election of
Senator White as chairman of the
democratic congressional com.nit
tee and the contest which resulted
in his election «as one in a Nev
York paper which said that it was
Croker's hand that sbaptd the elec
tion and that Bailey was acting in'
conjunction with him.
The same stoiy dec'ared tha
Senator White was not a silver
man. a palpable misstatement of
a well-known fact, and capped the
climax I y declaring that Bailey
was net in favor of the Chicago
platform. Today the story was
called to Mr. Bailey’s attention.Tn
commenting on it he said:
“ r The story is absurd on the face
of it, because it ddclares that I
have always been opposed to the
Chicago platform, while as a mat
ter of fact, I was one of the first,
if not the very first man in this
country to give an unqualified in
dorsement to that document and
to declare that it was sound as a
whole and sound in every part.
“The man who manufactured
the story must have known that it
was a pure invention. lie must
Lave known that so far fi >m Sen
ator White’s election hav.ng been
dictated by Richard Croker and
his friends, that the votes-of Sen.
ator Murphy, of New York, and
of Senator Smith, of New Jersey,
were both cast against Senator l
vVhite.
“The first suggestion of Senator
i White as chairman of the com
mittee came from Judge Maddox,
of Georgia, an ardent fne silver
man and an uncompromising
Ir'end of the Chicago platform.
The next gentleman who talked
with me on the subject was Mr,
Clayton, of Alabama, whomade
the minority repoit from the com
mittee on organization in the Chi
cago convention, upon which Sen
ator Daniel was made the tempo
rary chairman of that body instead
of Senator Hili.
“This county does not need to
be told that men like Maddox ano
Clayton do not betray the. demo
cratic organization, and it is wi th
in the knowledge of everybody
who has taken any trouble to in
vestigate the matter, that the
committee at its very first session
adopted the Chicago plat form as
the basis of the campaign which
it was organized to conduct.
“Our position is now, as it al
ways has been, that we want the
gold men to come back into the
party, but if they come h ick at
a'l, they must c ime With the dis
tinct understanding that they are
expected hereafter to supp >rt the
nominees of the party and that
we have no compromise whatever
to offer them ou the platform.
“With this understanding ev
erybody is invited to join us, and
nobody is wanted toj >in us except
upon this understanding.
