plentiful In the deep waters around

Trouble Following Strike on A.,

Mayor Pittman Will Ever Go
to Trial on Conspiracy Charge
(By the Associated Press.)
Fitzgerald, Ga., Sept. 17.-—With
armed guards patroling the Ben Hill
county jail to forestall expected vio
lence following the conviction last
night of O. G. Fajrfleld, ex-flagman on
the A., B. & (A. railroad, on a charge
of conspiracy, the city of Fitzgerald
and surrounding territory marks time,
awaiting the murder trials of six men,
to begin on the third Monday in Oc
tober, as a climax to the troubles since
the strike.
Fairfield although charged with
murder, was allowed the freedom of
the court house, while the Jury re
mained out. He wore a constant rfmile
and chewed on the end of an unlighted
cigar.
The smile, however, faded from his
face when the verdict of guilty wag
read. He looked from one juror to
the other, and the stern Ben Hill coun
ty men challenged his gaze. He be
gan wlspering In low undertones to
his attorney. From that moment on,
he seemed to have taken on a realiza
tion of the seriousness. Judge Gower,
in delivering the sentence said: “My
heart does not dictate that I should
put you on the ooupty chaingang,

Reed. The court is not saying, inti
mating or presuming that you had
anything to do *lth the killing, but
I’m sending you to Jail for your own
protection. In addition, of sentence
you to serve twelve months on the
state farm.”
Doubt Is expressed by the defense
that the cases will ever be tried, sub
sequent to the grand Jury finding true
bills on a more serious charge In the
same connection. It seems to be a
foregone conclusion that Mayor J. L.
Pittman, one of the twenty-five and
who has demanded a trial, will ever
really be put on trial.

death of Engineer Reed of tlie A., B.
