PROVES AN ALIBI
DEFENSE HAS INNING IN sHIPP
 CASE.
Witnesses Introduced to Impeach Tes- timOny Put Forward by Gov ernment-WiM Continue
 All Week.

Chattanooga. Tenn, June 18.-The defense in the Sheriff shipp contempt case continues to introduce witness after witness on the alibl theory and this morning numerous witnesses swore that William Mays. a carpenter Nick Nolan. the well known South Chattanooga saloonist, and Henry Padgett, a carpenter, had nothing to do with the lynching of Ed Johnson.
 Several witnesses were introduced to impeach the testimony of John N. Stonecipher, the star witness of the government in the cases of Padgett Handman and Mays. Ewing White, a contractor, swore that he would not believe John N. Stonecipher on his oath. He had known him for about fifteen years. He admitted he had a law suit with Stonecipher.
 Criminal Court Deputy J. P. Pem- berton swore that although he was in the court house yard on the northwest steps the night of the lynching he never saw Joe Franklin, the negro ex- constable, who swore that he identified several members of the mob, while he was seated on these steps. MT. Penn berton said Franklin was not on these steps nor about that corner while the mob passed by with Ed. Johnson.
 On cross examination the witness ad- mitted he was in the jail that night Just a few men were in the jail and he Mid not see anybody on the street in Aeont of the jail. He said he went In fhe jail on the instructions of the covtt. He was in an upper window of thdi court house when the mob came out.t He had come out of the jail. He never recognized any of the members of the mob. He said he ran down the
 fn hc the lynchers were. He admitted that he was rather curious and wanted to see what was going on. He denied that he was excited. He was asked if 1t was not possible for Franklin to be on the steps without seeing him. He said he would have seen Franklin If he had been on the steps, because the light Was shining on the steps. He would have had no trouble in seeing a man on the steps if he had been there He tried to get to the telephone in the Jail to notify the authorities. but there was no telephone. He said he saw Deputy Sheriff Allen at the jail and he was not gagged or nothing was wrong with him
 He was asked if he went to the po- lice headquarters or tell anybody else about the lynching and said he did not.
 He never recognized single man on the bridge that night, he said.
 Practically all the witnesses declared they saw none of those charged with the lynchlng in the mob that night.
 At the afternoon session a schedule for the trials of the defendants was ar- ranged, providing for separate day for each man accused.
 The cases of Sheriff Shipp and his deputies will begin Friday afternoon and from the present outlook the trials will consume all of next week.
 Court adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning.

SCHMITZ REBUKES
LETTER TO BOARD OF
 SUPERVISORS.
PrisOner-MayOr Deeclares He is Able to Perform Duties--An Odd Situation Prevails in
 ,ErfmeO.

San Francisco, June 1S.--Supervisor James L. Gallagher, who yesterday was appointed by the Board of Supervisors acting Mayor in place of Mayor Schmitz. who is confined in the county jail awaiting sentence for the crime of extortion, will be. by the bribery graft prosecution. retained in that office un- til Schmitz has perfected his appeal from last weeks conviction. This statement was made this evening to the Associated Press by District At torney Langdon. He later said:
 The members of the prosecutioa have not even discussed with each other the name of any man to succeed Gallagher as emergency Mayor for the remainder of the year. We have not gone that far yet. We are proceeding carefully and with due regard to the seriousness of the situation. I am not ready yet to answer with a detailed plan the question, will we sweep out the entire Schmitz administration but I will say this: We have shaped up and are now filling in the body of policy, the only object of which Is prompt and effectual relief for the pub lie, and we shall permit nothing to tn- terfere with the carrying forward of that policy. We do not fear any coun- teTmoVes by the Mayors counsel We are already advised of the law and have entire confidence in the legality of the steps we have already caused to be taken and the legality of the fur ther steps we purpose to take when MT. Schmitz has perfected his appeal. |"
 Mayor Schmitz this afternoon, at the close of a long conference with his att torneys. addressed to the Board of Su" pervisors a letter rebuking that body for its action of yesterday. In this letter he declared himself able and willing to perform the duties of the mayorality. and commanded the Board to forward to him all matters requiring attention by the Mayor and warned the Board that any recognition of Gal lagher as acting Mayor will result in trouble for the city.
 Supervisor Gallagher made no at- tempt to take possession of the Mayors office. He did not visit the place at all A police sergeant was Ion the door" all day and his instructions were to see that no one encroached on the premises. The sergeant admitted that should Gallagher attempt to establish himself in SchmitZ's office he would use force. If necessary. in throwing him out"
 Gallagher says that for the present. the Mayors office is wherever he hap. pens to be.
 Mayor Schmitz was given permission by Judge Lawler today to pay another visit to the offices of his attorneys, but failed in his effort to have the court ex- tend the scope of the absence from the county jail so as to permit him to at' tend to other than privae business.
 The application recited that "the dis trict attorney Is seeking to usurp his office and it Is necessary for him to takA steps to prevent it."
