OglethOrpe County Trio Not to BE
Tried for Conspiracy


Atlanta, Ca, July l7-An order was
signed to-day by Judge Newman in the
United States Court nolle pressing the bills
against Tom Erwin, William Eberhardt
and William Smith of Ogethorpe coun-
ty for conspiracy.
The three men We're charged with beat
Ing Charlie Galloway for tesufying against
them before the federal grand jury. Cal
laway wrote a letter recently to District
Attorney Angler saying he did not want
the prosecution pushed.
The wishes of Galloway might not have
influenced the attorney, but for the fact
that one of the main witnesses for the
government is now under Indictment in
Oglethorpe county for an offense involving
moral turpitude. Without the testimony
of that important witness Col Angler did
not think he could make out a case and
il would not do to rest the case on the
testimony of the man.
Erwin, Eberhardt and Smith were in
dcted some months ago on the charge
of keeping laborers in involuntary servi-
tude on their farms. They were pracu-
caly charged with enforcing slavery.
Judge Newman held the federal court
had no jurisdiction in the cases and sus-
tanned demurrer to the indictments.
subsequently the three men were charg-
ed with maltreatlng one of the witnesses
who swore against them before the grand
jury in this city and they We're indicted
for conspiracy The order Diminishing these
last cases marks the end of the entire
matter
