TRIAL OF
Own Defense-Case Will Probably
Go to the Jury Today.

Greensboro, n. c.. April 1S.-The
beginning of the end approaches ir
the trial of Congressman Blackburn
Both the government n prosecution
have rested. and the case will probably
go to the Jury tomorrow.
The hearing today was given promi-
n by reason of the fact that Con-
gresham Blackburn took the stand in
his own behalf. He denied that he
had ever received one dollar for prac-
ticing before the departments al
Washington, either before or since his
election as congressman. He told OF
Davis, the three persons named in the
indictment from whom it was alleged
he had received fees for compromising
their alleged offenses before the COM
missioner of internal revenue at Wash
ington.
He was cool and deliberate in all
his answers and the cross examination
failed to shake Or discredit his former
testimony.
r. L. Krider. the first of the gov
eminent witnesses. who c~onspicuously
figured in one of the counts of the in
dictment. testified that Blackburn re-
fused to accept a fee from him to
compromise his cas- before the depart
ment. stating that he was forbidden
so to do by the law. Krider swore
gresham was for legal service he had
rendered him in the county and state
courts of North Carolina.
At the conclusion of Blackburn's teS-
timony the defense introduced a num-
Der of witnesses. mem prominent in all
walks oAiife, who testified TO Black
burns good character.

The Southern Railways New Head
Charlotte Observer.

In choosing Second Vice President
William Wilson Finley president of
the Southern Railway to succeed the
late Samuel Spencer the Morgan in
terests, which control the great sys-
TEN, recognized it's continued need
of practical railroad man of first
class ability as it's head. Mr.. Spencer
was cut off in the midst of vast labors,
and it will fall to Mr.. Finley to con-
tinue them. No railroad president
in the United States will bear a heav-
Ter burden. His role is OF course
dual; for he is not only the head OF
one of the greatest corporations i'll
the UnitedStates, but likewise the most
important public servant in the
South. In the first, the people should
see to it that he has no difficulty in
securing justice; and in the second,
they should grant him their cordial
goodwill and cooperation. Let
there be more sane recognition of
immense difficulties with which a
man in his position must wrestle,
and less reckless criticism. Even
railroad officials are human, and I'M
just denunciation hurts them as it
would hurt the man on the street.
And the public should never forget
the truth embodied in the forceful
words of Samuel Spencer in his nota-
BILE Mobile address last October,
when lie declared that the people
will themselves be the first sufferers
if they lessen the power OF the rail-
roads to serve them.
Under Mr.. Finley's administration
it is certain that the Southern's
great double-tracking project and
general expansion of facilities to
meet the overwhelming pressure OF
traffic will be pushed with energy.
The money is already provided, and
before long the South will see better
days in the matter of transportation.
The discontinuance of No. 81, the
fast all-mail train, is doubtless due
to desire on the part of Mr.. Finley
to devote all the systems available
energy to rapid expansion, and care
OF the heavy traffic meanwhile.
Like Mr.. Spencer, Mr.. Finley was
born and bred in the South. His
