WILLIAMS CONVICTED
PENsACOLA MURDERER GETS sEN-
 FENCE FOR LIFE.
Jury After Short Deliberation Recom- nendcd the Defendant to the Mercy of Court-Interesting Scenes
 in Court Room,

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 1s.-(SpeciaL)-- William F. Williams, at s.30 o'clock this evening. was found guilty of mur- der in the first degree and recommend ed to the mercy of the court This saves him from the gaIlows The yer dict, generally meets public approval Williams will be called before the court tomorrow and sentenced to life inn prisonment
 Argument in the Williams case at- tracted the largest number of people to the County court house that has ever gathered there to listen to the presentation of any case of like nature. Before the argument started, however, Judge Carter laid stress on the fact that in case any applause or any word Of approval or disapproval was made while the same was in progress, it would result in the arrest of any per- son making such a sign of feeling and would be followed by the punishment before the court. This was done to keep absolute quiet in the court room In order that both sides would not be the least perturbed in presenting the case.
 The defendant. Williams, went to the court house this morning in a very nervous state of mind. The knowledge that public sentiment was almost uni versally against him has been conveyed 10 the condemned man and he feels his position keenly. He appeared to have given up all hope of liberty in the fu- ture. He was guarded more closely than he has been since the crime was committed, and all persons who talk with him were watched very closely with the sharp eyes of the sheriff to note that nothing whatever Is passed to him. The presence of any large number of people quite near him also Is forbidden.
 Relatives of Williams sat through the opening presentation of the case last night with faces that were studies The wife of defendant, attired in black, sat immediately behind her husband and beside the 1atter's mother. She kept her eyes on the one object in front of her. while the elderly lady watched the lawyers and listened to each point presented with a constantly changing expression.
 State Solicitor Kehoe closed the case for the State and Judge Carter's charge, which was delivered this after noon. made very clear the different degrees of murder, especially dilating upon the condition of any man com mitting the crime to impress the jury with the necessity of looking into a mans mental condition before return ing a verdict. The case was finally given to the jury this afternoon.

dom is the erection of large clubhouse

looking into the need and the advisa-
bility of general home, with a large
auditorium, cozy clubrooms, with ac-
cessories for comfort and gymnasium
and swimming tank within.
Yesterday the presidents of nearly al
the clubs in town met and conferred
with number of business men about

The idea was unanimously approved
The location of the proposed building

ence Of opinion-whether it should DC
east or west of Powell street.
The matter was laid over till the

That the matter will crystalline into
something tangible is assured.

COILS TIGHTEN
AROUND WYMAN
Testimony of Expert Kytka
Is Strong Blow to Case
of the Alleged Stuffer
SIGNATURE is DENIED
S. I'll. Mann Declares That He
Did Not Vote at Elec-
tion Held on August 8

The strongest testimony yet submit
ted against Charles 'Wyman, accused
of voting fraudulently, was presented
yesterday in Judge Lawlors court by
Theodore Kytka, handwriting expert.
Kytka declared in a positive tone that
the name of S. H. Mann on the roster
of the Seventy third Precinct of the
Thirty ninth District was in the hand
writing of the defendant, Charles Wy
man.
When the prosecuting attorney asked
the question, Did the same person who
wrote this affidavit write S. H. Mann,
2607B Post street." Wyman craned
forward in his seat and a hush fell
over the courtroom. Yes, sir" replied
Kytka, decidedly. Wyman dropped his
head and paled slightly. The strongest
bolt of the prosecution had reached
home.
The expert started to show the points
from which he drew his concusilons by
means of Il blackboard. but darkness
intervened. He drew a fac simile of
the w in the ordinary Wyman sigma
ture on the blackboard and compared
it with the NJ in Mann.
THE initial strokes in both letters
are identical" declared Kytka THE M
in Mann is the characteristic Wyman
w WITH d Illdl SITOko.
See" he exclaimed, dramatically, II
erase the final stroke and we have the
Wyman W." The roster containing the
alleged signature of S. H. Mann and
examples of Wymans handwriting
were passed to the jurors.
S. II. Mann took the stand early in
the afternoon and declared that he did
not enter his name in the roster of the
Seventy-third Precinct on August 8. In
the cross-examination Mann admitted
that he had been employed by Fairfax
Wheelan subsequent to the primary
election. Attorney Countryman offered
as evidence a receipt for So obtained
from Wheelan and bearing Mann's sig
nature.
why did you hire this man." was
asked Fairfax Wheelan.
Il wanted to make sure that he
would not be captured by the defense"
replied Wheelan. Besides, l wanted
to get an authentic example of his
handwriting"
AT the time you hired him did you
speak to him about the election?''
Il did not" replied Wheelan, posi-
lively.
Did you ever see him before August
go inquired Countryman.
Il did not" was the answer.
Fairfax Wheelan's son was on the
stand in the morning and substantiated
the testimony his father gave on the
previous day Special Policeman Jo-
seph Doyle said that he saw Wyman
vote on the afternoon of August 8. but
did not know whether he voted in his
own name or used the name of s. H.
Mann.
A. r. Goechen, the ballot clerk of
the Seyenty-third Precinct, declared
that ballot No. 81. 1928 had been voted
but said that he did not know who
voted it, During the examination of
this witness Attorney Hosmer became
impatient at Countryman's frequent OBJ
jections and displayed some temper.
The case will be resumed at $50 a. m.
to-day, when Kytka will illustrate on
the blackboard why he believes Wyman
wrote the name of S. H. Mann.

IN A QUARREL
Madame Eames' Shapely

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-At the re-
hearsals of 'Lohengrin," in the Metro
politan Opera-house, Nine. Emma
Eames and Nine. Senger Bettaque
quarreled about the superiority and
rank of their respective roles. Nine.
Eames gave her rival a sharp slap on
the face.

Nine. Senger Bettaque began
searching in her pocket, but when
her hand came into view happily it
held nothing more formidable than a
book of rules compiled by Frau
Cosima Wagner for the festival house
at Rayreuth. One rule provided:
IF the soprano should slap the face
Of the contralto the soprano should
apologize on her knees to the contral-
to and pay q fine of 500 marks
You shall apologize on your knees
to me, Miss Touch-Me-Not," she con-
tinued, "and pay 500, Miss Yankee .
You are not a contralto. / would
apologize if you were. And we are
not at Bayreuth," said Nine. Eames.
And l shall not go on my knees ex-
cept to thank the Lord that / am a
Yankee instead of a Dutch woman
But Nine. Eames was finally made
to apologize, nevertheless.
