TRIAL OF ANDREWS
PENSACOLA COMMISSIONER Is I'm
Court.
j. l.. Davis Testihes That His Name
Was Forged To Pay Roll.
Many Cases To BE
Heard

Pensacola, Fla. May o. Especial y
The county graft cases were commence
ed this morning in the criminal court
when James M. Andrews, former
Chairman and members of the Board
OF county Commissioners was arraign-
ed upon the charge of padding pay
rolls, securing money by false pre-
lenses, uttering forged papers and for
gerry.
He pleaded not guilty to the indict-
ments, each containing three counts,
and after numerous motions of counsel
for the defense to quash had been over
ruled. indictment No. 81 was presented
by the County Solicitor as the first one
he proposed to submit for trial. Here
the attorneys again engaged in argu-
ments, as counsel for defense had an
ticipated that the first indictment
would be called first but as all were
set for the first day.. the objections
were overruled.
Several witnesses were examined
during the afternoon, tho principal
the board. and j. l.. Davis, the latter's
name having appeared upon pay rolls
as being in the employ of the county.
The former testified to Andrews sub
hitting these pay rolls and receiving
warrants, among them being one dur
ing the month of June, 1906, in favor
of Davis, amounting to $14. This was
for seven days work with team He
identified the signature of Andrews on
the warrant and also stated that the
name of Davis was that of The hand
writing of Andrews.
Davis created the sensation of the
day when he took the witness chair,
and stated that he had never perform
ed one days work for the county; did
not own a team, nor had he received
any money from the county, and that
his signature endorsing the warrant
was a forgery.
The case will not be concluded be-
fore tomorrow and If the State insists
upon trying Andrews upon all the
charges, the trial will be very lengthy.

WILLIAMS VICTORY IN MIS-
SISSIPPI

Now that it has been definitely de
cided that John Sharp Williams is
victorious over Gov. Nardaman in
Mississippi great sigh of relief will
go up from those Southerners who
still cling to the ideals such as were
embodied In Lamar. Hill, Hampton
and Vest. In view of political hap
penings in several Southern states it
l. n great relief that Mississippi.
though 10y IN uncomiortably close
vote, has refused to add to the ranks
of the unique" by sending James
n. Vardaman to the L. :.
Senate. He may be honest. and per
haps he is, and he doubtless has
ability and energy, but John Sharp
Williams, with his wonderful intellect
and his ability for successful leader
ship, will reflect more credit on his
State in one session than Vardaman
would in ten. In Williams Mississippi
will have a Senator OF whom she can
be proud, a man who has proved
himself by years OF service in the
lower House to be statesman of
rare capacity, and in him she is apt
to give the minority in the Senate
what it badly needs, a leader. For
these reasons we rejoice in the vie
tory gained by Williams. and we
trust the day will never come in the
South that such a man will 20 down
in defeat before a Nardaman.
