The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-07-27

WAS overruled and court adjourned
until Monday morning, July Is.
This morning. when Representa-
tive Adams arrived. the court am
Inounced that the motion had been
reconsidered and that the case
would be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
White and numerous citizens
insisted that Adams be examined
as a witness, although the case was
dismissed.
ADAMS TESTIMONY.
Adams consented to undergo an
examination. saying White ap-
proacheed him in the Capitol buiId-
ing during the recent session of the
Legislature. Adams being favorable

Ter. " Adams left White at that
time, without either rejecting or
accepting the proposition and with
out any kind of reply. y
White made two visits to Adams
before the trial. but never sub
poenaed hIm as a witness. He
spoke highly of the respect and con-
fidence he had in White prior to
this time.
Being asked by counsel for the
State il he did not still consider
White an upright Christian gentle
man. he refused to answer.
Here White again denied writing
letters offered in evidence, address,
ed to a courtesan. She having re-
turned to Jackson Saturday night,
a committee Of three was appointed
to compare the signatures of letters
with admitted signatures of White,
the committee to report some days
later.
Editor Wade returned to jack
son tonight a free man and promis.
es to publish letters from Repre-

in pamphlet form.
White stated in his testimony on
Saturday in the absence of Adams
that Adams was an honest, truthful
Christian gentleman.

dence by the defendant. and at
once counsel for the State entered
strenuous objections. The defend
ant claimed he had witnesses here
from jackson at great expense
and had experienced difficulty in
getting them here in order to show
the character Of Mr.. Whites do
ings while in jackson. and even
after he had returned home. The
court, however, ruled that the let
ter was not competent. but the
counsel insisted on offering it for
what it was worth. il nothing more
than an incident. Mr.. White de-
MED, however. having written a
letter to Hazel Redmond since his
return home.
Mr.. White was asked by Mr..
Sharp if he had not been considered
the captain Of the red light dis
trict while in jackson in attend
ance on the Legislature. and if it
were not a fact that he had some
reputation as a bawdy house bully.
At this, counsel for the State We
hemently objected as not being
germaine to the issue.
ARGUMENT BY COUNSEL.
Counsel for the defendant argued
that the defendant had witnesses
from the underworld here from
jackson. and not only from the
underworld. but from the upper
world as well, including the chief
of police in the City of jackson, to
prove the prosecutors bad reputa-
tion while in jackson. Counsel for
the State argued with equal zeal
and sincerity that there was no
reason why the witness should be
required to answer the questions,
unless the court desired to disregard
the law governing the case. The
court again ruled for the State and
this was ruled out.
Mr.. White was then asked If he
knew Hazel Redmond, and he re-
piled that he did, but that he had
only seen her two or three times.
The witness was not further pressed
on this point, but he was asked if
he did not say to Hazel Redmond
in house of i'll fame in jackson.
Miss, on Mill Street, that he
(White) believed he could pull old
man Adams over and prevail upon
him to vote against Vardaman. and
that he had a little inducement to
offer him. and to this witness re-
piled mo. =
The witness was asked why it
was that he went to see Representa-
tive Adams before and after he
made the affidavit against Mr..
Wade, and he replied that he had
gone to see Representative Adams
twice, the first time to ascertain
what Representative Adams would
testify to, and the next time to-
take a third person with him to-
bear witness what Mr.. Adams said.
On being examined further along
the line of his personal conduct
while representing the people of
Prentiss county while in jackson.
Mr.. White was driven to admit
that he was arrested BY the police
and spent a time in jail. but on OBJ
lection of counsel for the State Mr..
White was not permitted to explain
on what charge he was arrested,
nor how long he was incarcerated.
THE REAL SENSATION.
