SAVANNAH, Jan. 2s.-Declaring
that Greene and Gaynor the famous
conspirators who robbed the Gov
eminent Of large sums Of money on
a Savannah harbor contract. were
convicted before they ever went into
the Federal Court, A A. Lawrence
prominent Savannah attorney and
REPRESENTATIVE In the Georgia Legis-
lature from Chatham County, took
the stand this morning, as the hrst
Savannah witness before the Con-
gressiona investigating committee,
probing the record Of Federal Judge
Emory Speer
Mr.. Lawrence declared Judge Speer
was a misfit. He said he should have
been a prosecutor instead OF a Judge,
as he was the best cross examiner
he ever saw The judge seemed much
amused at this description and smiled
broadly during its recital.
"Appointed His Satellites
Mr.. Lawrence declared that Judge
Speer appointed his satellites TO fat
uositions. In this connection he re-
called the selection of George White,
of Macon, a United States marshal,
as a receiver for the Daniels property
in Millen. Mr. White was not far
mer. but most of the assets or the
firm were included in their farming
properties.
Mr.. Lawrence related the DIM
culty experienced in securing the
names OF Jurors who had been drawn
for service Ia Judge Speer's court, and
said that In one peonage case his
firm had been supplied with one list
and when the case was called an en-
tirely new set Of veniremen was
sprung on them 1t was in this case
that Judge Speer offered TO deal
lightly with the defendants II they
would plead guilty. X. M. Hitch
Savannah attorney, advised Mr. Law
renee to enter plea of guilty ana gel
his clients off with fine, and so qua
Mr.. Talley, the judges secretary he
said.
That many new sensations will be
sprung at the Savannah hearing seems
to-day to be a foregone conclusion.
II was the attorneys from Savannah
that made the first charges against
the turist and really started the In
vestigatlon, and the feeling that has
existed IS IN many instances so bit
ter they will have little reluctance to
so on the stand

Most OF the Savannah lawyers are
in Washington to-day in the Interest
of having a new Judge appointed for
this district. They take the position
that In admiralty law II Is important
to have a Judge in A port the size OF
Savannah. They have been working
to have Judge Speer retained at Ma
con and a new Judge named here.
They win return for the hearing.
Lawyers Have Grievances.
Time and again Savannah attorneys
have made the charge in Judge
Speer's court that they could not get
fair trial for their clients because,
they alleged, Judge Speer discrimi-
mated against Chatham County men
serving on the jury This charge was
primarily responsible for much Of the
bad feeling existing between Judge
Speer and several OF the attorneys,
for 1t was often made in court when
he was sitting on the bench, and there
have been some real heated discus
| sionB.
II was some years ago that Judge
Speer reproved Judge Adams by tell
| ing him that no was unethical The
argument became so heated that
Judge Adams tainted as a result Of
excess choler. Judge Speer thought
he had dropped dead and ordered
court adjourned. He was so unnerved
that he did not sit again that session.
From this time the feeling between
the two jurists was very bitter, and
there were lively Tits almost every
time their paths crossed. Judge Ad-
ans was one Of the movants to have
new Judge named for this district.
Tomlinson johnson, former clerk Of
the court, will. II Is said, make the
charge that he was dismissed so that
Judge Speer could install one of his
alleged favorites. Johnson, Savan-
nah man, was clerk, and lived here,
as provided for. Cook Clayton was
named to succeed him. but lived In
Macon and lives there now. The
charge will be made that when Clay
ton Is with the court In Savannah he
charges up per diem and mileage as II

reported.

This weeks Forsyth bill has been
improved by the engagement of Mar
shall p. Wilder to take the place OF
Laddie Cliff, the English boy come
dian, who had to give up his trip here
because of Illness. The bill should
be one of the cleverest of the sea son,
because 1t is a variety show from
start to finish. 1t is without a weak
spot, and there is more genuine novel
ty than the average vaudeville show
affords. Plenty of singing, dancing
and comedy will help to make things
interesting, and a George AIDE sketch
will be feature. Bell Baker one of
the headliners in vaudeville, and who
is declared to be the foremost singer
of character songs, will be an impor-
tant feature on the bill Miss Baker
is pretty and clever and is a real IA
vorite. There are other good fea-
lures.
