MONTGOMERY DEFENSE RETIRED
AFTER FIRST DAY OF TRIAL
CONFIDENT OF AcoulTTAL.

Jackson, Miss, July 24.-Fighting
every inch of ground against the
charge Of malfeasance in office as a
member of the Board of Penitentiary
Trustees, Colonel w. A. Montgomery
and his legal advisers retired after the
first day of the trial, feeling confident
of his acquittal 1t has been a long
while since such a brilliant array of
counsel as those surrounding Colonel
Montgomery have come into court here
with a defendant at the bar. The list
includes Ex-Governor A. H. Longino,
Ben H. Wells, in advisory capacity
R. n. Miller, w. j. Groom, Victor V.
Montgomery and Paul d. Ratliffe, all
counselling and advising together,
with Mr.. Miller leading in queries and
arguments. Messrs. Powell and
Thompson are assisting District Attor-
ney Howie. The theory of the state
is that in delegating to Lawrence Yer
ger. former secretary of the board
and a self-confessed defaulter, the
duty of selling and collecting for the
states cotton-seed, the defendant, as
one of the same board, violated the
law.
The defense is seeking to rebut this
with the theory that the very business
Of the penitentiary, with all its rami-
fications requiring the trustees to be
in the field more than in the office,
justified such arrangement The only
material witness on the stand yester-
day afternoon was the former secre-
tary of the board, L. Yerger, who was
brought over from the Jail yard, and
around whose testimony was waged a
bitter fight of counsel
Mr.. Yerger's testimony went to show
that acting under an order of the
board in October 1910, he had attended
to all arrangements for getting out
the state cotton-seed, collecting the
money and depositing it in the treas
ury. He was going into a detailed
statement of figures to the jury when
court adjourned for the day. The case
may not reach the jury before Friday
night.
The personnel of the Montgomery
jury is as follows: ]. w. Langley,
Jr, pressman; Lamar Hendricks, plan
tation manager; Charles G. Sanders,
street car conductor; w. H. Dodds,
feed mill; H. B. Darden, farmer; ]. ].

tate agent; c, R. Wacaster, railway
clerk; R. F. Montgomery, grocer; l. C.

that once chance, as it proved, was cut
off by the roaring flames that envelop-

With Mississippis prison affairs be-
ing aired to the world in a most unen-
viable light, this added calamity, horri-
BILE in its results, will bring the state
more adverse criticism for which it
can interpose little excuse 1t will
hardly do to say that it was an un-
avoidable accident, when there was no
necessity, with the funds at the COM
mand of the board of trustees. to
make convict building both prison
cell and a hay barn. storing directly
beneath helpless, imprisoned men, ma
terial subject to spontaneous combus-
tion or ignition upon the slightest con-
tact with FIRE. 1t was probably not
a matter Of choice with those immedi.
ately in charge of affairs at Oakley
that such disposition of prisoners was
made, but it was a matter into which
the board of trustees should have look
ed and provided for differently.
Men placed as were the convicts at
Oakley behind steel bars and heavy
padlocks, imprisoned and helpless to
aid themselves, should be placed as
far from danger as possible, and their
pitable condition not made the more
precarious by compelling them to sleep
directly above fire trap primed for
explosion either from some act of their
own, through the negligence of those
in care of them, or by the hand of
nature, which sometimes takes the
initiative in matters of this kind.
That the proper precautions were
not taken for the safety of these thirty.
five helpless prisoners, whose charred
bodies was all that was left to tell of
the horrible tragedy, is evidenced nv
the fact that while two watchmen were
on duty, the fire had gotten such q
headway when discovered that it was
impossible to reach the only exit bv
which help could have been given
them
This is another case in which no one
charges that crime has been done ex.
cept in the criminal negligence of duty
and this time it resulted in the lose of
thirty-five lives.-Clarion Ledger
