COULDN'T ACCOUNT ron THE MONEY
A Father and Son Mixed Up In an
Unpleasant Case.

Justice Elsinger had a cheating and
swindling case in his court yesterday,
the trial of which developed the exist
ence of another highly favored case di-
rectly connected with the cheating and
swindling case.
c. j. Wall, Sr., sued c. J. Wall, Jr.,
for the recovery of 500, which he alleges
according to the senior Wall, was to be
used as hush money in case against
William Il. Wall, another son, and that
is where the interesting part of the case
comes in.
The case. which did not come up. was
to have been brought against William
Wall by Annie Priesten, who wanted Wall
to pay her for lacerated affections and
her honor of which IL was claimed Wall
had robbed her
Wall. Jr., and works in the Savannah
cotton mills. William Wall had been
paving her attention for some time and
naturally when his brother went to his
father and told him that William was in
trouble about the girl he believed it. The
father claims that his son told him lle
was obliged to raise 500 to prevent the
prosecution of his brother. The young
woman. he said, was determined to get
him into trouble. but that she was willing
to drop the case if she was paid 500
TIL father said he let his son have the
money. The next morning he came back
and said that the girl was unwilling to
settle for 500, but demanded $3.50 more.
The father refused to hand over that
much and as nothing more was heard of
the matter he thought it was settled He
asked both of his sons if the thing had
been arranged all right, and as they gave
him no satisfaction he became suspicious
that the affair was scheme between his
son and the young woman to get his
money and he entered suit.
The son in court denied that he had eyer
received the money from his father and
said that he knew nothing OF the matter
ard that it existed only in his fathers
ina gination.
Several witnesses were sworn in the
case and the trial was interesting through
out As Wall, Sr., could not produce evil
dence enough to substantiate his story
about the money, Justice Elsinger decided
in favor of the son.
