BY GOVERNOR BROWN.
JUDGE SPEER REFUSES TO
TRY HUFF FOR CONTEMPT
LEFT LAST NIGHT FOR NOVA
scoTIA-JUDGE PARoEE WILL
HEAR THE CASE

Macon, July 31.-Judge Emory
Speer declined to try the contempt
charge against Col w. S. Huff, who
YESTERDAY was arrested on all at
tachment issued by Judge Speer for
a letter in which Judge Speer's Off
ciai and private character was at
tt cked. The judge at the hearing
sitis morning overruled a demurrer OF
Colonel Huffs counsel that he was
without the jurisdiction in the case,
AS the matter was one for a grand
jus to indict and jury to try, Judge
Sleer entered into long defense of
liI4.self and made a vigorous denial
Of all the charges, saying that none
of Colonel Huff's assertions were
true, He wound up by saying ne re-
fused to try the case and that it
would be necessary to get another
judge.
This means that Judge Don Par
Lce of the circuit court, will have to
designate the new Judge to try the
csse and that it will hardly come up
before next fall
Judge Speer left tonight for Nova
Scotia.

SAYS MEASURE IS
MOST TOO DRASTIC
FOR VARIOUS OTHER REASONS,
THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE
BILL is a POOR ONE.
FAvORS THE PRESENT LAW
"If the People Would Enforce the
Present Prohibition Law 1t Would

| Vetoine New Measure.
FAVORS THE PRESENT LAW

Atlanta, July 31.-Gov. Joseph M.
Brown today vetoed the Alexander
Tirpins bill which prohibited the sale
in this state of near beer" and so
limited the percentage of alcohol as
al ingredient that many patent med
iclres would have been excluded
from sale.
In his veto message to the legis-
lature the governor declared that
the measure was entirely too drastic,
and took the lawmakers to task for
trying to play politics." He said if
the people enforced the present pro-
hibition law it would seem sufficient.
Governor Brown called attention to
thu fact that if the sale of near-beer
was abolished it would abolish the
near-beer tax, amounting to S248,S55,
and that this amount of taxes would
have to be raised from other sources.
Therefore, the result would be-
he said, that the 131 counties which
now pay none of the near-beer tax
would be forced to pay $149,312 so per
year, and the Is counties, including
those wherein are the large cities
which now pay the entire amount of
I $248,S55 would only pay $99,514 40 Of

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC Ex-
EcUTivE COMMITTEE.
ASSESSMENTS OF CANDIDATES
Committee Fixed the Amounts th4r.
l3
Various Candidates Must Pay and
Disposed of Other Matters Relative
to the Primary.

The democratic executive commit
te.s met at tae courthouse yeste--
cay at noon for the purpose of making
arrangements for the state priTlar. TO
ta held on Auguft Il. While the
county primary occurred early in the
sl'.1g. still there are a mum L +
oGI tests to be deciled at the state
r.ni, ry this month, and the c0inmit-
tee met yesterday to fix the AMOUNT
of assessments on the various candt-
dates, name the election managers
and dispose of other business rela-
tive to the primary.
The offices for which candidates are
to be nominated at the approaching
primary are congressman, solicitor
of the Brunswick circuit, represent
ative, and the various state offices,
from governor on down the line No
assessment, however, is placed on
the candidates for state officers, as
it would be considered an injustice
TO make them pay an assessment in
every county in the state, therefore
the candidates for congress, solicitor
and representative will pay the ex-
penses of the primary.
The managers named for the pri-
mary at the various county precincts
were the following:
Brunswick, J. T. Lambright, A. M
Hay wood, L. NJ Orr. q~~-
ST. Simon, j. H. Shadman. J. H.
Postell, W. c. Taylor.
Fancy Bluff, R. M. Scarlett, Alex
Livingston, J. r. Smith.
1956th district, T. w. Lamb, G. W.
Wright, and one other.
1449 district, B. F. Lewis, w. R.
Lang, and one other.
The primary promises to be an IN
usually interesting one in this coun-
ty, insomuch as there are several
contests on, there being opposition
for congress, for solicitor of Bruns-
wick circuit and for representative in
the legislature. A senator will also
be nominated for this district, but,
under the rotation system, it is Charl-
ton county's time to elect the sena-
tor, therefore the voters of the other
two counties will not vote in the pri-
mary.

Prosecution Scored Point.

The prosecution scored an lmpor-
tant point in the trial this morning
when Judge Roam declined to permit
the introduction by the defense "for
the purpose of comparison of letters
which had not previously been sub
mitted to the other side.
The mysterious letters mentioned
SO frequently yesterday were again
ur.0er discussion.
L H. Hill, Grace's step uncle, was
sIJwI by counsel for the defense a
letter written in pencil, and asked if
it was Grace's handwriting.
Witness said he did not know.
did yo1 identify Grace's hand
writing, on IN envelope yesterday"
Yes
The witness said he was not sure
the letter in question was written by
Grace, because it was .lgned Gene"
lie said every lett1r he ever saw
written by Grace was signed "Eugene
Fl Grace
Counsel then endeavored to show
the witness and letter signed Gene"
which he thought the witness could
identify.
Solicitor Dorsey objected and was
sl tanned by the court.
Famous Alibi Letters.
The letter in question is said to be
one of the famous "alibi letters" 1t
is said to be dated Tuesday night"
an 70 start as follows:
My Own Darling Wife"
LII this letter supposed to have been
written on the night of the day Mrs
Grace left for Newman, was one
phrase: After | left you at the
train.'.
The state is attempting to show, it
is said, that Mrs. Grace wrote this
letter to herself, post dated it and
signed her husbands name to It and
had mailed it to herself at Newman,
in order to establish an alibi.
The defense apparently is trying to
prove that the letter was written by
Grace himself.
Grace was not in court during the
morning session, which was largely
taken VI with wrangling between
counsel over the letters.
Mrs. Grace probably will take the
stand tomorrow morning.
Establishment of a motive for the
crime was the plan of the prosecu-
tion when the trial of Mrs. Daisy Opie
Grace for the alleged shooting and
wounding of her husband was re-
sumed here today.
The state alleges that $4,000 life
insurance carried by Grace prompted
his attempted destruction by his wife.
Tho basis for the introduction of eyi-
dence in an effort to establish this
point was made yesterday, when Mrs.
S. L. Hill, mother of the wounded
man, testified that she suggested 20
hei son that he take out life insur-
ance while he and. his wife were Wis
ltlng her On their honeymoon. She
said that she thought it would be
good idea for them to be protected.
Final direct evidence for the pros
ecution was expected to be introduced
during the day, and it was thought
that the defense would be able to
conlmence the examination of its wit
nesses tomorrow
The attorneys for the defense have
carefully guarded their plans, and lit
tie is known of the evidence to be
introduced. 1t was not known early
today whether Mrs. Grace would tes-
tify.
Grace, partially paralyzed as a re-
suit of the wound received, and who
almost collapsed at the conclusion of
his mothers testimony yesterday, was
very ill in a-local hospital last night.
His condition was such today that it
was not considered probable that he
wLtld attend today's session of the
trial.
