SAYS FUSION
FIGHT NOT ON
Believes That Party Is On the
Eve of a Great
Struggle.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 49,
James B. Ezzell of Newson sta
ton, secretary of the independent
democratic state executive COM
mittee, and one of the strong lead
ers in the fight for better govern
ment in Tennessee, does not be-
lieve in the disintegration of the
fusion forces on the eve of the
final struggle with the liquor traf-
fic in Tennessee. While in Nash
vile this morning he made a state
ment setting forth his positian as
opposed to harmony, considering
that harmony was both unnecces-
sary at this time and dangerous to
the cause of law enforcement and
good government.
Mr.. Ezzell said:-
Il supported Carmack in 1908.
| fought for state wide prohibition
in 1908, for the independent judi
ciary in 1910 and for governor
Hooper and a fusion legislature in
1910 and 1912.

The election commissioners did
this in violation of the law and
were actually about to give Stokely
his certificate, when their atten-
ton was called to their error" The
actual facts in this reference and
which were brought out in testi-
mony, was that the election COM
missioners had decided that it was
atie, and had sent out notice for a
new election, when they found
that they had no such right, and
then they decided to give Burke a
certificate and Stokely had to file
contest to prevent the issuance
of the certificate.
Inasmuch as Judge McHender-
son has gone through a long siege
of ILLNESS since hearing the evil
dence, it is not surprising that he
should have overlooked some of
the essential points brought out in
the evidence.

to the matter yourself, send a
check and THE NEWPORT PLAIN
TALK will do your shopping and
delivering for you.
If you do something this Christ
mas to bring happiness to the lit
tie ones who otherwise would be
grief-stricken because Santa Claus
had forgotten them, you yourself
will always be happier for it.
Remember, there are hundreds
of children in Newport who will
be forgotten if the Big Brothers
aren't busy. They are hungry
most of the day-perhaps will be
on Christmas if unremembered
They are improperly clothed and
have to sleep in close, stuffy
rooms, where there is little light
and heat.
YOU can fill their hearts with
Christmas Joy. So get busy
That's all.

The Big Brothers Club is going
to succeed! Though but two
days old it already has a good
membership, and it's growing. A
lot of big hearted fellows have
spoken. They have either called
personally or written to THE
NEWPORT PLAIN TALK asking
for names of children to which
they may be big brothers this
Christmas. Some have sent money,
asking THE NEWPORT PLAIN
TALK to do their shopping and
delivering for them. If these men
can help it there won't be a single
broken little heart in Newport on
Christmas day.
This is fine. Itseems good that
so omany big-hearted fellows should
have agreed to sacrifice just a
little for the happiness Of the
children on Christmas day. Yet

LOCAL ATHLETES
Basket Ball Team With One Re.
gular Put on Floor By
.- Newport.

The Newport basket ball team
played Asheville Y. M. C. A. last
Friday night and considering the
fact that only one regular was in
position the boys did not do so
badly, although the score was
something like "a to 9.
Harry Smith and Monday Hix-
on started by auto and never did
show up. Cicero Sparks got cold
feet and would not associate with
the bunch that Newport had put
on the floor, so the game was
played with Brother Willis and
Hermon Holt as forwards, Horace
Rowe at center and Bill Haynes
and Mel Stokely at guard.

the leaders of the Big Brothers
Club movement are far from salts
fled. Not enough have enlisted
as yet to insure a Merry Christ
mas for all the little ones. There
will be many wet eyes on Xmas
morning unless dozens more of
you who possess the big brother
ly spirit get into the game.
If you happen to be one of
those who have not responded to
the call and have been thinking
that you'd do something a little
later, just tell yourself that it is
already late; and sit right down
NOW and write to the Big Broth
ers' Club editor of THE NEW

that you want to be a big brother
to one, two, three or more child
rem on Christmas day, and ask
him for names and addresses.
And if you can't attend personally

Word has been received from
Florida to the effect that " Hub "
Fine has retained the very best
lawyer in that part of the country
and that it is certain that he will
be allowed sbond within the next
few days. Hub has made con-

year and is regarded as one OF

J. B. Cox and John T. Fuller An
nounce and Joe Howard of
Greeneville Is Expected to Get
In the Fight for Congressional
Honors.-The Sells People
Will Not Recognize the Right
of Shipley Committee. Primary
Saturday, April 18th.

Warm times are in prospect for
the first district, and the Shipley
Republican Bull Moose committee
has already started the ball to
rolling with a meeting at Bulls
Gap, where a primary has been
ordered for Saturday, April II, for
congress. The Shipley committee
offers to confer with the Sells
committee to name the primary
date, if the one does not prove
satisfactory.
Two avowed candidates for
congress were present at the
meeting, Gen. James B. Cox and
Hon. John T. Fuller, who has al
ready been on the stump in
the interest of his candidacy. Joe
Howard, former postmaster of
Greenville, was also present and
it was generally limited that he
would also throw his hat into the
ring and thus create more interest.
All speakers were for harmony,
and General Cox was especially
earnest in his remarks to see that
no more differences should arise
among the Republicans.
Senator Butler of johnson
county was elected a member of
the committee to succeed Mr..
Donnelly who moved away. James
E. Miller, cousin of Congressman
Sells, who was fired from the
Indian Springs poStmastership by
the congressman Immediately
after his first election, was named
a member of the committee, TAX
ing the place of the late w. F.
Mullenix, former committeeman
from Sullivan county.
c. F. Bower, was present from
Cooke county.
The Sells committee claims to
be the regular committee from
this district and will not recog-
nize the Shipley committee under
any circumstances, so this means
that there will be two candidates
for congress in the field right up
to and including the November
election.

missioners did this in violation of
the law, and were about to give
Stokely a commission. when some
one suggested that they call up
the attorney general as to the
law, which they did and found
out the error. The ballots were
carelessly kept by the election
commissioners and there was very
clearly opportunity for tampering
with them, and for this reason the
court thinks. that these ballots are
not now admissible. Neverthe-
less the court has looked at the
ballots to see what they show and
the ballots are marked everyway.
The election commissioners, friends
Of Stokely made three different
counts, with every count differ
ent and it would be very difficult
for any man to tell which count
was right, so the court has decid-
ed that the count of the election
officers which seated Burke
should stand"
The decision of the Judge would
indicate that he never did get be-
fore him, fully, the evidence in the
case. He apparently, never learn
ed that Forest Stokely, to whom
the ballots were given by the
election board, was a member OF
the election commission, in fact
being secretary of the commission,
and to whom the ballots should
have been given. The Judge in his
decision ignored altogether any
evidence which had been intro
duced by Stokely to show that
there had been no chance for any
one to tamper with the ballots
He refers to the election commits
sioners as friends of Stokely, where
| in fact not one member of that
commission claimed any especial
friendship for Stokely at the time,
and the chairman actually swore
that he did not vote for either the
contestantor contestee. The judge
also had the wrong impression as
to what the election commission
attempted to do after it had open
ed the ballots. In his decision the
Judge said: They did count the
ballots, not in Burke's presence

NOT GUILTY OF
DAVIS DEATH
Two Women Defendants Are
Held to Be Innocent of
Murder Charge
SEQUEL TO NOUCH KILLING

Young Girl, Eutha Reece, Was
Main Defendant AS 1t Was AL
legged That She Held Knife In
Her Hand Which Caused the
Death of Joe Davis, But the
Jury Held That 1t Was an Ac-
cident, lfsShe Had Committed
the Crime Charged.
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-12-18

For the first time in the history
of Cooke county two women were
put on trial for theirlives here last
week. Mrs. Josie Reese and her
daughter, Miss Eutha were tried
for the murder of Joe Davis, at
Nough on the evening of Septem-
ber II, 1911.
1t was the theory of the prose-
cution that Davis had been killed
by the girl Eutha, and she was the
real defendent. The trial has been
put off from time to time, so that
when it was called instead of a
plain country mountain girl as a
defendant, the court was present
ed with handsome young woman,
a person Of striking appearance,
and it was plainly evident that the
proof would have had to be con-
vencing before she would have
been sent to the pententiary for
any offense.
The entire local bar was engag-
ed in the defense and prosecution.
Penland, Payne and w. o. Minis
looked after the defense, while
Attorney General Hollway was as
sisted by Judge Cate, Carly and
Ailor, R. B. Hickey, McSween and
McSween and G. w. Gorrell.
The jury was out but a few
minutes and gave a virdict of mot
guilty" The facts in the case as
they developed were that Mrs.
Reese and her daughter came out
of a field where the girl, then
about 16 years old and her sister
had been working. They were
carrying potatoes and Mrs. Joe
Davis was milking. Patton Cald-
well said something which started
a word war, the lie was passed
between Mrs. Reese and Mrs. Davis
was called name, and dared to
come out in the road. Davis, told
his wife that she must not take the
dared and told her that he would 90
along to see that only one jumped
on her. Mrs. Reese met Davis
and his wife with some stones, and
the two women clinched in a hand
to hand fight and rolled over an
embankment and out of sight. Joe
Davis grabbed the girl, Eutha, to
keep her away and when Mrs.
Caldwell, who was a spectator
came to Joe to get him to take his
wife off Mrs. Reese for fear one of
the women would be killed, Davis
told her to get the knife out of
the girls hand. The knife was
given to Mrs. Caldwell and Davis
took his wife and started toward
their home, when he threw up his
hands and expired from a stab
wound in the heart.
The girl, Eutha testified that if
she killed Davis that she did not
know when it was done, that it
must have been done in the scuf-
file, that she had no recollection of
what happened in that struggle,
as Davis pinioned her arms behind
her, and being big strong man
she could not get away from him.
She identified the knife, an old
pocket knife with a sharp keen
point.
Some time after. the killing, the
girls parents moved to South
Carolina, and immediatly after the
trial they left for South Carolina.
The verdict was a popular one as
Eutha, the girl, is regarded by
her friends nc heino a oirl of ey

The Stokely-Burke election case
till lacks considerable of being
ettled as Mr.. Stokely has appeal
d from the decision of Judge
IcHenderson which declared
hat D. M. Burke was entitled to
he seat in the county court, and
he case goes to the Supreme
ourt where it will not be reached
[ntil next September.
In his motion for a new trial,
udge Cate, representing Mr..
Btokely gave his reasons for new
rial on the grounds that Judge
lcHenderson had erred in not
dmitting the ballots and that
lis decision was not supported by
he evidence in the case. In MAX
ng his decision Judge McHender-
on called attention to the fact
hat while it was case of local
interest, that it was not of much
Importance in the eyes of the
ourt, as many cases of far more
eaching Importance had been
ried, and he stated that any sug-
+estion that he had been holding
'ack the decision because of polit-
cal matters was enormous and
here was no cause whatever for
my suspicion of that kind. He
tated that he would resign before
le would permit himself to be
brow beat into making a decision
which he did not think was right.
The Judge stated that no court
ould be perfect but that all cases
we're decided according to the way
hey are seen by the court.
In this case, the Judge reviewed
he testimony and stated that a
spirited election was held for JUS
ice of the peace and that the
Election officers had certified to
he election of Burke. Stokely
vas not satisfied with the verdict
ind brought the contest which
was his right. The Judge stated
hat it was the duty Of the judges
pf the election to count the vote
and certify as to the returns.
These election officers are pre-
Bumed to be on the ground and
their verdict is not to be set aside
Unless it is clear that some fraud
br error has been perpretrated.
Their decision stands unless the
ballots are offered for better evil
dence and they to be considered
must come to the count clean and
there must be no suspicion in the
way they were handled, and the
LJurt must be very sure that they
are right. The Judge then said:
These ballots went into the
hands of Stokely's friends and
kindspeople, unsealed. There are
no charges made as to the integ-
rity of these people, but the court
must treat all men the same, and
say whether there was opportuni-
ty to tamper with them. The
election commissioners were un-
doubtedly friends of Stokely, and
when Stokely wanted a recount
they assured him that he could
have it, and they did actually
count them, but not in the pres
ence of Burke. The election com
