SPEER M|SF|T AS JUDGE,
DECL ARES IA, LAWRENCE.
FIRST SAVANNAH WITNESS

SAVANNAH, Jan. 26.-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 first
Savannah witness before the Con-
gressional investigating committee
probing the record of Federal Judge
Emory Speer.
MIR. Lawrence declared Judge Speer
was 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 it's recital
Appointed His Satellites
Mr.. Lawrence declared that Judge
Speer appointed his satellites to fat
positions. 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 a far
mer but most of the assets of the
firm were included in their farming
properties.
Mr.. Lawrence related the diff
Guilty experienced in securing the
names of jurors who had been drawn
for service in Judge Speers 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 if they
would plead guilty. r. M. Hitch, a
Savannah attorney, advised Mr.. Law
renee to enter plea of guilty and get
his clients off with a fine, and so did
Mr.. Talley, the Judges secretary, he
said
That many new sensations will be
sprung at the Savannah hearing seems
to-day to be foregone conclusion.
IT was the attorneys from Savannah
that made the first charges against
the jurist and really started the in
vestigation. and the feeling that has
existed is in many instances so bit
ter they will have little reluctance to
go on the stand.
