Defense Is Significant
The defenders of Hobsons prohibition
record declare that the captain did not
participate in the local option election in
Jefferson county In 1907 because he was
not invited to participate; that IN the
amendment campaign the captain made
speeches throughout the state in the in
terest of that interesting measure; that
he did not vote for the amendment be-
cause he was speaking that day and
thought he could better serve by speak
ing than by voting; that a reference to
Col II. S. D. Mallory of Selma would
produce the information as to whether
or not the captain ardently supported that
prohibition candidate that his introduc-
ton of the nationwide prohibition
amendment last December after the an
nouncement of Mr.. Underwood was in
fact a re-infroduction.
Good and truthful men," the statement
concludes, could find out the facts be-
fore making such statements"
As stated above, this defense is signih-
cant in that it is construed generally as
confession that the captains method of
campaign has made no practical head
way. 1t IS significant Furthermore. in
that it leaves so much unsaid:
Omissions in Defense"
It is 10 be noted that nowhere in the
defense is contained statement to the
effect that Iobson has ever voted In
Alabama for any issue involving prohibi
tion, or for any man advocating prohibi-
tion.
The defense" says that Hobson did not
vote for the amendment because he was
busy speaking for the amendment. II
does not say, however, that on the day
of that election he was in Hale county,
within a very few miles of his voting
booth, and that had he been sufficiently
interested lie could without bodily suf-
fering have covered that distance easily
As to whether or not he ardently sup
ported Colonel Mallory, the prohibition
candidate. the defense refers the peo-
pie to Colonel Mallory. 1t is a note
worthy fact that the defense does not
contain the letter written in support OF
Mallory by Hobson, the letter which
complimented Mallory in one berath and
breathed warm appreciation in the
next for qualities of his anti-prohibition |
opponent, the present governor. And 1t
is "A noteworthy fact that the defense |
does not refer the voters of Alabama to
James b. Ellis of Selma, who managed
the fight of Mallory which might have
been a successful fight but for lack of
support on the part oil Ger
tain leading prohibitonists.
In regard 10 what it does not contain,
that passionate defense" is a remarkable
document

POISON PLOT
 |S SUSPECTED

An alleged attempt to poison w. w. Brunner, homesteader near Gila Bend by sending him adulter- ated whiskey is being investigated by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Candy The whiskey, which is be- lieved to have been mixed with strychnine or some other deadly drug almost claimed one life and is now being analysed by Professor Claud Jones of the Phoenix high school. MT. Jones has not completed his analysis, but it is considered prac- tically certain that poison was mixed with the whiskey as the fluid was badly discolored and was powerful enough to overcome one man within an hour after he had swallowed a small quantity of it.
 The case was placed in the hands of the prosecuting attorney by Tom Henderson, who drank some of the whiskey week ago last Sunday and became seriously i'll immediately af- rewards Henderson was visiting Brunner. Brunner, he said, took only a sip from the bottle and then passed it on, saying it was too strong.
 q took one drink said Hender- son, land then I began to feel the effects of it. Pretty soon I became helpless. My muscles stiffened and had trouble breathing. It wasn't until the next day that I was out of danger"
 The whiskey was sent to Brunner from Chandler by mail Written in lead pencil on the wrapper which en- cased the half pint bottle was the name 'L. F. Burt purporting to be that of the sender of the package. Brunner is quite distance from Gila Bend and does not call at the postoffice at regular intervals Cy Holland. a neighbor of Brunner, hap pened to stop at the postoffice and delivered the parcel to Brunner.
 According to Henderson, Brunner is positive that the bottle of poison was sent by someone who is trying to kill him.
 ''He says he has enemies" said Henderson, "but he will not say who they are"
 Professor Jones is expected to make his report on the analysis of the contents of the bottle this after noon.

Fritz knew his part but he could not remember the others. Thinking it over one day. an idea hit him and he proceeded to put it into execution.
