HAPPENINGS IN MICHIGAN
ACCUSED CONVICT SAYS
HE'LL PROVE INNOCENCE

JACKSON, Mich. Nov. 30-Joseph
Davidson, the "Shonicker," charged
with completely in the plot to burn
the binder plant at the prison, has
made his first statement regarding the
riot and charges made against him.
He says he was in the prison hospital
when the riots took place.
Davidson was sentenced TO Jack
son for from two and one-half TO IA
years for forgery from Kalamazoo In
1911. He was a travelling salesman
at that time. The circuit Judge or
Kalamazoo suspended sentence. Dav-
idson was arrested later for breaking
his parole and sentenced To prison.
II Is probable that before the case
against Davidson comes up, the states
attention will be called TO the fact thar
Jackson county has been defraying
the expenses OF these state prison
cases for large number of years. AS
they are state cases in which Jackson
county Is not particularly interested,
the state will be asked TO defray the
costs
Three years ago the grand jury In
yestigations cost this county $4,000,
and two years ago the dynamiting
case came up and Jackson county also
betrayed these expenses.
