JURORS ANGRY,
DENY STORY OF
P|N0CHLE GAME
Men Who Served with DunmOre
Call on Court to Refute
His Charges.

Flatly contradicting the affidavit
made by Elmer Dunmore. the juror
who swore that his arguments were
UNDECIDED while his fellow jurors were
playing pinochie in the jury room, in
stead of celebrating upon a verdict,
and that he was coerced. several of the
Jurors who served in the case sought
the ear of Judge Heisley in the SUI
preme Court. circuit today. They got
no further, however, than Frank Tay-
lor, clerk of the court, who repeated
their stories to the judge, who yester-
day told Charles Elm, counse for the
man who lost the case, hat he would
take the matter under advisement I'M
til he had read the testimony. Mean
while the court has decided hat no
judicial notice will be taken of the
affidavit, because it impeached a YER
dict In which Dunmore himself con-
Cured. In other words, if the verdict
is set aside at all 1t will be done on
other grounds, after the court has gone
over the evidence and finds hat the
verdict does not conform to it.
Lawyer Elm represented Morris j.
Schuetzman, a druggist, of 17S Spruce
street, against whom Israel Isenawsky
won a verdict of $3.50 because he al
legged that the druggist gave him car
bolic acid instead of carbolic water,
with the result that his sore finger
instead of getting well, had to be am
putated.
One of the jurors, who asked that his
name be net used, and who told his
story to the clerk, said today that in the
first place, instead of eight men playing
pinochle in the jury room, four men
played euchre, and Dunmore was one OF
the men most interested In the game, as
an onlooker. He added thai Dunmore
instead of voting In favor of the de-
PENDANT, as represented, was really in
favor of the plaintiff, and voted for him
every time, including the first ballot
which favored $500; the second, which
favored $500. and the third, which set
tied the matter at $3.50. AS a matter oil
fact, said this Juror, Dunmore requested
that the amount be written for him OF
a slip, as he cannot write.
Others of The jury, which made such
a stir, and of which Dunmore, a negro
was No. 5, were Frank Elliott. John A
! Clazier. Robert Il. Keefe. Frank Spatch-
/ er, Samuel S. Brewer. William C.. Folk.

the remaining vestiges of his authorlt,
in an attempt to stir up factional strife
in the hope that 1t will create an anti
American feeling and still further dis

SHERIFF KILLED BY
NEGRO ON WAY TO PRISON.
Mississippi and Alabama Are
Aroused Over OutrageS.

SUMNER, Miss, Dec. 1.-Deputy
Sheriff Frank Chambers was shot and
killed at Black Bayou by Aaron Mccoy,
one of two negro prisoners who, were
h~andcuffed together. Mccoy was shot
to death by a citizen. Henry Weems,
the other prisoner, was hurried to Jail
and secretly taken to another town to
prevent a 1ynching.
Intense excitement prevailed in Black
Bayou. Negroes are terrorized and a
mob outbreak is thought not improb-
able.
MAGNOLIA, Ala, Dec. 21.-Magnolia
is quiet, following a period of intense
excitment with much bitter feeling
manifested between whites and blacks.
A company of militia has been ordered
to Magnolia. Ernest Slade, n of the
foul white men shot by Clinton Mont
gomery, d desperate negro, is fatally
injured and his death, expected at any
time, may cause the Southern flame of
race hatred to burst forth anew.
Clinton Montgomery's charred body
lies in the ruins of a negro hut near
town as a result of a visit by a mob
of citizens. Brister and Shelly Mont
gomery, brothers of the dead negro,
barely escaped lynching earlier after
the sheriff of Marengo County had
captured them. They were placed in
the Linden jail later for safe keeping.
Search continues for William Mont
gomery, another of the -four brothers,
whose alleged murder late Saturday
night of Algernon Lewis, a young white
man, caused the trouble. Nearly every
negro resident has left Magnolia. The
whites are all armed.
