CHARGES PREFERRED OF
ILLEGAL VOTING IN BOAZ.

Gadsden. November -(Special)-
The sensational disclosure that about
one half of the votes cast in the last
election may be illegal is expected be-
fore the mayoralty contest at Boaz is
finished. The hearing began there this
morning before Judge w. w. Haral
son of the Marshall county circuit. DR..
D. A. Morton and W II. Bartlett, for
mer mayor are the contestants. In
the election DR. Morton received 81
votes and Mr.. Bartlett 50 votes. There
is much confusion regarding the pay
ment of poll taxes and the matter of
legal residence among the voters of
Boaz and these will be brought out
during the trial. The case probably
will be concluded by the end of the
week.
