JURY ATE PEANUTS
USED AS EVIDENCE
INTRODUCED As SAMPLE OF
PRODUCTS OF FLORIDA EN-
ERGLADES,

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.-Whon A.
w. Callahan, a farmer Of near Miami,
Fla, introduced peanuts grown on eN-
erglades land as evidence in the trial
of T.. c. Chambers, president, and
four alleged agents of the Chambers
Land company in the federal court
here today, each juror was requested
to eat one that ne might judge Of
the quality. Chambers and the other
defendants are charged with having
used the mails to defraud in connec-
ton with the sale Of Florida lands.
The jury having eaten peanuts, cal
lahan proceeded TO exhibit oats,
wheat, alfalfa, corn, barley, rice,
grapefruit, lemons and sweet potatoes
which, he said, he had grown without
fertilizer on his everglades farm THIS
year. He admitted, however, on cross
examination that his farm was used as
a show place for visitors to the ever
glades and that it was on the edge Of
Lake OkeechObee and contained
much larger amount of mineral mat
ter in the soil than lands further down
the everglades.
Several other evorElade farmers
testified that everglade lands were
valuable, the defense seeking TO show
that Mr. Chambers had not asked too
much for his land. The government
brought out, however from each of
the witnesses that they had used fer
tilizcr and that there had been kill
ing frost in each of the last two years.
