MOTE FILES AN INFORMATION
Document Charges Stone With WiIlful,
Intentional and Malicious Failure to
Reeister-RepubIican County Central
Committee Guarantees Conviction
Many Lawyers Will Be Interested.

a. pIoliliiieHI Sill"eIl, somewhat naStlly
started yesterday by the republican
county chairman, C. II. Smith, have
been changed In detail, but the main
purpose will be sought. AT first it was
thought that retributive justice could
best be secured by serving the warrant
on Judge Caswell, and arraigning him
as the prisoner at the bar, but the
Judge took to the woods and could not
be found. There was no time for
requisition papers so an information
was filed by G, A. Mote before Judge
Crane, charging Hon. Henry Stone with
unlawful, intentional and malicious
failure to appear at the places of
registration as desired by the repub-
lican party. A warrant was then is
sued and served on Stone, and he is
now held under public surveillance, for
trial in the east court room tonight.
Owing to inability to take charge of
the case on such short notice other
attorneys have been secured j. NJ.
Whitaker and c. II. Van Law will
prosecute, while County Attorney
Northup and c. II. L. Boardman will
defend. The trial will take place to-
night and arguments by attorneys will
be limited to fifteen minutes each.
Conviction is guaranteed by the repub
lican county central committee. Every
body is welcome and wit. mixed with
humor, will be on tap.
