THE RUSH

Akron visitors to Cleveland Thurs
day had the same difficulty in getting
away from the city that was exper'
fenced the day before. The rush was
all away from Cleveland, however, and
there was no difficulty in getting to
that city.
Those of the veterans who are un-
able to spare the time required to at
tend the convention and the election
of officers for the G. A. r., have been
leaving in great hosts.
The G. A. & @. train, south bound, at

Numerous and Cover
Much Ground.
The Santiago Loop One
Thing Among Many.
Trial Will Cost 81, 900 a Day and
Last Two Months.

Washington, Sept 13.-(Spl.)-Tbe
specifications that will be investigated
at the Schley Court of Inquiry are
bulky and cover u great many phases
of the affair. They amount to spe-
cific charges and among the other
things that are charged are the fol-
lowing:
That Schley held the Flying Squad
ron at Cienfuegos from the morning
of May % to the evening of May "a,
1898, without learning that Cervera's
fleet was in the harbor.
That the voyage from Oienfuegos to
Santiago was made at an average
speed of only seven knots an hour, in
order to permit the converted yacht
Eagle to keep up with the line. Court
will decide whether the Eagle should
have been abandoned in the interest
OF greater speed.
That while the Spanish fleet was In
j Santiago. Schley ordered his fleet to
Key West to get coal.
That his coal supply was not such "a
to justify him, to order the feet to
Key West.
That Schley was delinquent In no.
attempting to capture or destroy the
Colon as she lay at anchor at the en-
trance of Santiago from May 27 to
81.
That he withdrew his ships to sucr
a distance from the entrance to the
harbor at Santiago at night that tn,
blockade was rendered ineffective.
That the loop made at the battle o.
Santiago was an improper one and en-
dangered the Texas.
1t is estimated that the Court will
take two months time to decide tn
cases and that the average cost of tn
trial will be $1,000 day. The friend
of Schley are confident that he vii
be able to clear himself, while thos
who oppose him and uphold the Nav.
department say that all of the claim
will be proved.

TUESDAYS SESSION.
J. c. VOORHEES,, ESQ ,

attorney for the defense was the first
speaker. Some of his remarks were
quite affecting, and brought tears to
the eyes of many in the courtroom.
Mrs. Thomas and Thomas sister were
deeply affected, and wept aloud.
After referring to the relations he had
had with demonstrating known him
intimately from childhood up, and hav-
ing found him to be always honest and
brave hearted-M VOORHEES, said that
he would show by the States testimony
that John Thomas was not guilty of
any offense. The first plea, that of
once in jeopardy, had been SO fully and
ably argued by Messrs. Padgett and
Smlser, that he would consider only the
other plea-that of not guilty.
He said he would take the States
witnesses back to the day of the killing,
and let them tell the story of the affair
now as they told it then. The record
in the case showed that at the first meet
ing between Godfrey and Thomas, in
the shadow of Gods holy temple and in
the presence of crowd, Godfrey had
insulted Thomas. Then at the next
meeting-the peace conference at the
gate-the first word Godfrey said to
Thomas was another insult.
Next we find Godfrey, as testified by
one of the States witnesses, Mr.. f. Il.
Wood, arming himself with pistol
using care to get one that was reliable
and one that he knew would do the
work, He had murder in his heart, and
wanted to make no mistake. The State
lad tried TO prove that the pistol found
on the ground was Thomas, but it had
been shown beyond a doubt that it was
/ Godfrey's. He had never seen any
four witnesses leave the stand in Sc
confused manner as the eye witnesses
that had been introduced 10y the State
He couldn't reconcile their testimony
and he challenged the AttOrney-Genera
| to do it. Something had been left out
of the evidence; what act or word OF
Godfrey's was it that drew forth the re
mark from Thomas, "If that's your
game, well play it?" What child;
| play it would have been for man &c
make that remark to retreating man
as had been argued by Capt. Russell
| Going back to the day OF the killing
we learn that old man Howell told OF
/ six different occasions to six different
/ men, that ,odfrey had gun, but tina
/ Thomas was too quick for him. The
/ story as he told Ut that day, while ii wsi
/ fresh i'm his memory, was the only rea
sonable version of the difficulty that he
I had given. The story rs he gave II ther
| zorro borsted with Thomas story as hi
/ had told L on the witness stand. Lee
and Sam Harlan, two other eye wit
nesses, had also, on the day OF the kill
| ing, told that Godfrey went after hi
/ pistol when Thomas approached him
/ Godfrey was violating the law by tres
passing, and Thomas was executing m
/ rights by trying To put him OF. "Sup
pose MIR. Howell, and Sam and LEI
/ Harlan" said the speaker, chad told oil
the witness stand the same things the!
had told on the day OF the killing? i

ness where the damned spirits are, hell
bent upon murder. In that frame Of
mind he rOams the woods and watches
the highways. Riding up and down the
country around with a pistol that would
shoot a man in the back as quick as the
front. And he'll do it, he says, "if he
hops into hell for it,"
And now comes the day, and yonder
the victim, and with never word pre-.
liminary, knife in one hand, pistol in
the other, he goes direct to him. ANY
law to justify that open knife in his
hand that pistol in his pocket; that
angry, insulting, hostile manner? Nay,
verify!
But right here, gentlemen, the tables
might have been turned. If Godfrey
had killed Thomas then, breast to
breast, face to face, you would not have
harmed a hair of his head; you could
not under the law; he would have been
perfectly jnstifable.
AS he approached the scene of the
| tragedy, Thomas was cool and collected,
and his plans were all made, the game"
was "to play" There was the man on
his premises, and hadn't he sworn to
Kill him? He had challenged him at
the gate and chastised him on the pp b.
| lie highway, but his victim had run
| like coward and escaped him. But
this time he would show him another
game that he could play. If running is
your game, "we'll play it," / may not
reach you with my knife, but can
catch you with my pistol, running as
we'll as standing. So when the hunted
man started to run, he followed him
with shot, and that shot with two
others; and then he waited for the
smoke to rise, and seeing him yet
alive he fired yet another cruel bullet
into his quivering flesh, and watched
| him fall down to die.
| A useless, cruel murder, gentlemen
an unprovoked, unnecessary murder,
said the speaker.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-03-22

YOU what | think Of you" Did that look
like Godfrey wanted to make peace?
Thomas had right TO keep anyone
from trespassing on his place; the law
gave him that sacred privilege. The
testimony of Eugene Lochridgc and
Sam Joyce showed that Godfrey had
threatened Thomas. We find that God
frey had gone TO Dobbins a. Ewing's
and asked them TO order a pistol, and
then he went to Ashby Wilkins to get a
pistol "to kill dog" II be wanted to
kill dog, why was il that he carried
the pistol away from home with him?
We find that he was very careful in his
preparations; that he bought an extra
round of cartridges to carry in his
pocket, and that he took his pistol to
Mr.. f. f.. Wood to see that it was all
right-all for the purpose Of "killing a
dog" Did this look like the act of Il
man on IA peaceable expedition? Mr..
Woods testimony proved that this same
pistol was the one found on the battle,
ground after the difficulty.
After Godfrey had been refused per
mission to go on Thomas property, he
had no right to 90 there; and Thomas
had right to try and put him off, and
if he resisted he was justified in using
force to eject him.
Mr.. Whitthorne referred to the con-
flicting statements made by the wit.
nesses to the killing, no two of them, he
said, told the story alike. One said it
occurred this way, and one the other, and
.it had been proven by several witnesseI
that after the killing Mr.. Howell and
Lee Harlan said that Godfrey had a
pistol but that he was not quick enough.
Upon whose evidence, then, will you
convict this man? The prosecution had
said there were ''s'ight variations in
the evidence, but you can't convict a
man up such proof as that. The law
says it must be beyond any reasonable
doubt 1t had been shown beyond a
doubt that Godfrey had a pistol and that
he pulled it from his pocket.
After Mr.. Whitthorne's speech, court
adjourned until Monday morning at 6
o'clock
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-03-22

would't take you five minutes to return
of verdict of not guilty"
MIR. VOORHEES, closed his remarks by
saying: "Gentlemen of the jury, / he
lleVe you will return John Thomas to
his home and let his good wife nurse
him in his illness until he dies. 1t mat
tiers little to John what you do with
him. His pale face and emaciated form
show too clearly that, whatever your
verdict may be. you cannot rob him of
many days. Death, the inevitable, has
placed his mark upon him, and it won't
be long until he will be called to answer
FOR the crime with which he is
charged, at the court of a Higher JUS
tice. thank God that the facts won't
be covered up there; John will he
judged by the truth, and he will be ac-
quilted, just the same as you will acquit
him II you will believe the truth as the
witnesses told it on the day of the kill
ing"

counsel for defense, followed Mr.. Tur-
ner. He reviewed the testimony in the
case for the purpose of showing that
Godfrey by his overbearing manner and
10y his attempt TO get possession OF his
wife's and her children's property, even
by humiliating and imposing upon
Thomas, had been first to cause any ILL
feeling. There was nothing harsh be-
tween Mrs. Fly and Thomas; there was
no trouble until Godfrey came upon the
scene. TIE episode that Sunday morn
ing ut the church showed Godfrey s
naughty spirit, when in reply to
Thomas request to speak TO him, he
said, II don't want to have anything TO
do with you: I am above the wave.
Again, at the peace conference at the
gate, in reply TO Thomas morning salu-
tation, Godfrey refused to speak. and a

The State had seemed to take great

frey, the atter's hand went in the neigh
borhood OF his hip pocket. At that
moment Thomas thought bis life was in
jeopardy, and he had right to shoot
and shoot quick; he had no time to think
and hesitate.
That Godfrey had attempted to use
his pistol was beyond doubt, because
the weapon was found on the ground
after the killing.
