 Judge J. C.

Heavy Fines on Trespas.er.

One Gahloe. evidently a troublesome character, was heavily fined in police court this morning on two charges. For trespasslng on property where he was forbidden he was fined $20 or forty days and on the charge of drunk and disorderly he was assessed the highest fine. S45 or ninety days.
 The owner and superintendent of a cotton mill prosecuted the defendant. They charged that Gahloe. who was an employe there, had entered the of fee of the superintendent intoxicated, and had abused and threatened him after being ordered of tho place. A number of witnesses testified that he was drunk and one said he thought he had a weapon. The defendant insist ed strongly on his innocence of both charges.
 The court reminded him that he had been before the mayor times prior and had been warned not to appear again.

The solicItorsa Appenl.

The speaking was closed with an im- pressiye argument for conviction by Solicitor BriclSen. He said that 1t was significant that the attorney who had lust preceded him had found it neces- sary to ring in the breezes from the orange groves. the bravery and beauty of Southern women. These things were brought in not because they mad any bearing upon the case but simply to draw the minds of the jurors away from the evidence that had been brought out against the defendant It was necessary for the attorney to roam over the world when he had no evidence to support his cause.

 Question of Duty.

question or DuGys
 The duty of the Solicitor in prose- outing women, he said. was no more pleasant than was that of the jury that was to bo called upon to pass on her guilt or innocence. But the Solicitor and the jury had to look away from the fact that the prisoner at the bar was a woman and consId ar the tragedy which had cost a brave officer of Butler County his life. When the jury met its duty it would answer the question.
 Did Maggie Johnson aid or abet. John Johnson In the killing of George Bryan?"
 There was only one answer to that question. The evidence was to plain that she did aid and abet John John- son In the killing.
 Could John Johnson have killed ; George Bryan without the aid of Maggie JohnsonP'
 The evidence. declared the Solicitor, was too plain that George Bryan would have been alive today had 1t not been for Maggie Johnson. The testimony showed that Cseorge and Oliver Bryan were holding John John. son safely until Maggie Johnson rull up with the scantling. Johnson would never have been able to have pulled that pistol If Maggie Johnson had not knocked George Bryan away with the scantling.
 Evidence AnalyEed.
 The Solicitor analysed the evidence that the defense had brought in. He showed the discrepancy in the tes- tlmony of Katie Johnson on the first and the second day. On the first day she had nothing to say about using a board, but 0a the second day when she had been acquitted she came forward and said that sho had struck the blow. He said that he had no words of oen- sure for what the old mUther had sworn to on the stand. In giving that evidence she hnd followed the promptings of a mothers love. But" the Solicitor asked. Does any member Of this jury doubt that Maggie Johnson struck the fatal blow ? It came to you from the grave in the dying declaration of George Bryan, and 1t camo to you h the staterne ent of Sheriff Eill Hartley on the stand that she struck the blow. Do you doubt 1t.

first degree. If Johnson was guilty of murder in the second degree nis daughter was guilty of murder in the second degree. She was just as guilty as he was and he urged the jury to meet their full responsibility when they came to pass upon the case re- gardless of the fact that the prisoner in the case was a woman.
 Argument for Defense.
 R. B. Smythe, speaking for the 6e- fense. said that through all her suffer |ings it should be a source of gratifi- cation to Maggie Johnson that so many of her nefghbors of those who had known her all her life had come forward and given such high evidence of her good character. The cnarac- ter, the reputation which she bore. he said, was one of which any good wo- man might be proud. From the evi- dence MT. smythe argued the jury had learned that Maggie Johnson had done nothing but run to the gate when her father was attacked, and scream and cry while the fight was going on. The testimony of her mother, of her sister. of herself, showed that che was guilty of noth- ing but responding to the agonizing appeal of her father and that she could do nothing to help him when she got there.
 There was dispute and conflict in the testimony to what she did Mir. Smythe admitted. but the main part of that conflict was the testimony of Oliver Bryan, the brother of the dead man, who was anxious to see some one punished, and the speaker said that in his heart he could not blame him. But he begged the jury to resist the bloodthirsty appeals of the State 10 make suffering woman pay the pen- alty for the unfortunate occurrence for which she was in no way respon- Rihla.

\. M. c. A. Teams Splendid Showing.

Ns Me Cs As TeamAB SpIemOAu SnOWAhBs
 Although his team was defeated by the score of 19 to 1S Physical Director Franklin is elated over the showing of the local club with the champion Howard College players. He says that he is confident the locals will win from the East Lake club when they go to Birmingham, and the determined effort they made against Howard makes him believe that the team will have little difficulty in defeating the Birmingham Athletic Club team.
 For the locals Marks and McGown were easily the stars and they were applauded on nearly every play. Robin son, of the visitors, played the most one of the best basketball players in the South and in q recent game with Scottsboro made twenty goals. Last night in opposition to Marks he made only four goals.
 In the first half the locals played relentlessly against the hardy college men and held them down to an even score, but in the second half they weakened perceptibly in the last five minutes of play and let the visitors score nine to their three. It was in the last five minutes of the last half that the game was lost. The Y. M C.. A. men failed to stand the severe strain on them, while the visiting club played the same consistent game from beginning to end.
 MT. Franklin now thinks that Howard College has the strongest bas- ketball aggregation In the South although he is anxious to see how they will come out in the game at Mobile. Their vigorous offense and staunch de- fense Mir. Franklin says, will win games from the strongest teams he has seen and their splendid training puts them at the top.
 The Howard College team left this morning for Pensacola where they will play tonight. From there they will go to Mobile.

Richardson's Appeal.


 Judge Terry Richardson for the de- fense made an eloquent appeal for the young woman. He, too, alluded to the magnificent character she bore in the community in which she lived. He deplored the fact that an attorney for the State .ould find 1t in his heart to stand up and asked that "a golden haifed daughter of Butler County be made to walk the scaffold." He l ern woman. He thanked God that there were women of the South with the courage of Maggie Johnson who would rush forth to help their fOth"r l in an unequal struggle with three men, even ie she was not able to ron. der him any aid or service of value. She had done nothing except what was filial and natural. He pitled any member of that jury who mad a child who would not come to his assistance when he was attacked and when he called upon 1t for aid.
 He pictured the case to the jury. the arrival of the three strange men, the struggle with the father. the fa- | ther's agonizing call for help. The defendant had done what only any other Southern daughter would have done and now they sought to put her behind prison bars, to eternally ruin that high character with the memory of felon's cell and the wearing of black stripes. He anaIyzed the evil dence and declared that 1t showed con- clusively that Maggie Johnson had done nothing but run about and cry while the fight was going on. The unfortunate defendant he said suffered enough in the long months in prison that had ensued since the tragedy and he begged the jury to meet their re- sponsibility with courage and set her l frAa-
