TECHNICALITY HALTS
JACK JOHNSON TRIAL
Court Refuses to Pollute Ears Of Jurors
With Testimony Regarding Relations
of White Woman With Negro.

Chicago, H., May 9.-CounseI for jack
johnson, the negro prize fighter, halted
the hearing of testimny IN the white
slave charge to day by a technical OBJ
lection and the jury was excused while
federal judge Carpenter listened to argu-
ments on the objection.
Belle Schneider had brought her testi-
mOny up to October Is, 1910. the date
named in the Indictment against John
son, when JohnsOn's counsel objected to
the introduction of any evidence bearing
on the counts in the indictments
johnson IS charged with bringing the
Schneider woman from Pittsburg to
Chicago for Immoral purposes The
attorney contended that the Mann white
slave law is directed against the trans
pOrtatiOn of women from one state to
another for. commerce in her immortality,
and not against immortality itself. lie
cOntended that the phase of the law COW
ering immortality IS Unconstitutional,
and alleged the Indictment was faulty
in failing to show that the acts COM
planned of were committed within the
jurisdiction of the court.
Belle Schneider testified that she first
met Johnson in 1909. while she was an
inmate of one OF the most notorious re-
sorts II Chicago, when she was p years
old.
johnson went to New York. but called
her no by telephone and sent her money
through his manager, she said. She went
to New York to visit the fighter, paying
her expenses from money sent by john
sons manager.
When attorney Parkin, representing
the government, attempted to bring out
details of the young wOman's relations
with johnson, Judge Carpenter ruled that
inasmuch as they We're admitted he
would refrain from polluting the ears oil

To the Citizens of Knox
COunty:-

COunty:-
Having heard that it is being cir
culated over the county that my
father, Sam II. Bla ok, and his folks
and friends intend boiling the Re-
publican ticket this fall, | desire to
say to the citizens ofthe county that
these statements are incorrect and
unjust to us. We entered the race
as Republicans, expecting our oppo
nents, il we won the nomination o
support US and help us win in Nov
ender; or il we did not win, expect
ing to support the one that did win
and help him gain the election in
November This we understand 10
be the purpose and intention OF all
who enter primaries and the hon
orable thing to do; and this we
propose to do.
While We consider that some I'M
just and improper things were done
as is usually the case in primary
.lections, we consider that Sam
Lewis. the man who won the nom.
ination tor Sheriff, made a manly
and honorable race and deserves
the nomination and will make the
county a good official; and we are
for him and mean to do what we
can for him as well as for the rest
OF the ticket.
| also wish to say that we made
a manly and honorable race. saying
nothing hard of any one, nor seek
ing no unjust advantage OF any one.
We received our support along these
lines, and desire TO thank our
friends for their loyal support.
We believe the party has a splen-
did ticket and thar every man en-
il ought to be elected and will be
elected this fall.
Yours respectfully,
