EXONERATES CARTER.
Declaration Made that Former Captain
Did Not Get a, Cent Of Money,
WrongfuIly-May Shift Suit.

"The government has never coads-
Gated any of the property Of former
Captain Oberlfn NJ. Carter" declared
Horace G. Stone, of Chicago, attorney
for Carter, who arrived in Savannah,
Ca, Saturday from Quebec, Canada.
"All that property is held under
receivership established with the con-
sent of the government, and it is TO Z
revert to Captain Carter just as soon
as the latter can establish his inno-
cence of the charges Of conspiracy
upon which he was convicted and sent
to Leavenworth fer five years..
"This trusteeship will end early next
year, when we have trial before
Judge Kohlsaat, in Chicago. Then
Captain Carter's innocence will be es-
tablished and he will get his property. /
II am just from Quebec, where
saw Greene and Gaynor. Greene told
me himself that Carter had received
not one cent from the Savannah har-
Dor contracts and that he was abso'
lutely innocent. Greene told me that,
of course, I would understand that he
could not profit ar way by saytnt
this, and that the evidence would go
for naught, but that he was neyerthe,
less ready to swear it in the interest,"
of truth and right"
Stone is in Savannah to take .testi
mony before the United States com,
missioner with the view Of submitting
it to Judge Kohlsaat.
Wren the innocence of former Cap
tain Carter is proven, as Attorney
Stone declares it will be, the govern
ment will shift its suits against the
possessions of Carter and seek to re-
cover from the estate of R. F. West
colt, father in law Of Carter.
The action against the estate Of the
late Westcott will be based, it is said,
upon the alleged relations between
Westcott and Greene and Gaynor thst
would render Westcott liable for the
amounts secured from the government
by fraud.
It is said to be certain that, Carter
establishing his innocence, as Stone Is
convinced he will do, the government
will proceed against the Westcott cs-
tate.

Governor Heyward's Good Work.
The Atlanta Constitution. in recent
issue, contained the following edito-
rial:
Governor Hayward deserves the
commendation not of South Carolin
ians alone, but of all southerners, for
the prompt and effective methods he
has employed to bring to trial the men
charged with being implicated in the
recent lynching in Berkeley county.
AS told in The Constitutions dis
patches from Columbia, the governor
not being satisfied with the efforts Of :,
the local officials to run down the al
legged lynchers, sent detectives into
the county with the result that five
men must now face trial.
The governor has taken steps to in
sure not only the arrest, but the trial,
free from intimidation, Of the men
who, according to the testimony ad-
duced, are under suspicion OF having
committed the crime in question. In
his efforts he has had the hearty sup
port of the leading newspapers Of
South Carolina, who have been most
earnest in their protest against mcb
law.
In that state, as in every other
state of the south, the sentiment is
Overwhelmingly against lynching, and
if the authorities are all as determined
as Governor Hayward in their efforts
to find and bring to punishment the
men charged with this crime against
state authority, the days Of lynching
lawlessness will be numbered.
It will not require many such evil;
dences of determination to punish
lynching, such as Governor Heywa.n
has given, to let the mob understand
there is no place for it in the southern
states. Once the lawless elements un-
derstand this, there will be no more
outbreaks to bring damage and danger
and disgrace upon this section.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
value to the entire south Of such an
act as that Of Governor Heyward.
That act shows, more clearly than any
words can, where the good people of
South Carolina stand, and not only
that state, but all o,hers, are benefit
ed And the benefit can be made dou
bly, valuable by all officials demon:
strating the same spirit in dealing with
this great question.
