FINED FOR
FLOCC|NC
Indictment Charging Assault to
Murder Is Dropped at Re-
quest of the Solicitor.

James A. Harris, a 20-year convict,
caused something Of a stir in the
Criminal Division of the Superior
Court Friday when. as witness in
the case Of Clyde A. Thomson, for
mer convict camp boss, on trial for
whipping convict, he declared that
some Of the evidence in favor of
Thomason had been manufactured
by Captain Tom Donaldson, former
ly County Superintendent of Public
Works Harris also declared that the
guards at the ~Adamsville camp and
some of the county police with whom
he had come in contact since his i'm
prisonment, were as fine bunch OF
grafters" as he ever had met
Thomason was on trial for the whip
ping Of James Brannon, convict. AT
the conclusion of this hearing another
case, charging assault. to murder. Will
be heard. The former camp boss was
also charged with shooting James
Harris. the witness who accused Dom
aldson OF framing" testimony.
Thomson was found guilty on the
assault and battery charge and at the
request Of the request of the Solicit
tor the Indictment for assault with
intent to murder was qUashed. Mr..
Dorsey said he did not think the in
dictment could be prosecuted on ac-
count Of the character of the COM
planning convict and certain circum-
stances that had been explained to
him.
Judge Hnl imposed a fine Of 5000
or twelve months Imprisonment on
the convicted boss.
Ask Indictments Be Quashed.
Ben Conyers and Luther Rosser, Sr.,
! attorneys representing Thomson, at
the beginning OF the hearing Friday
moved to uuash the indictment on
the ground that Philip Weltner, sec
rotary OF the Prison Reform Associa-
ton. was in the Grand Jury room at
the time the charges against Thoma-
son were being Investigated and that
WeItner practically conducted the
prosecution there. The attorneys
contended that Weltner had no au-
! thority there and that because of his
activity in the matter the true bill
was not legal.
! Mr.. Weltner admitted on the wit
ness stand that he was In the Grand
Jury room at the time Of the inyes-
tigaton, but said he was not there
al the time the indictment was drawn.
He said he aided the Grand Jury in .ts
recent probe Of the convict camps. and
that the case Of Thomson came up IN
the course of the general investig l.
ton
Judge Ben Hill overruled the mo-
ton to quash the indictment.
Lashed for Critieisins Boss"
Brannon was the first witness
called by the state. He said that he
had been dashed by Thomson on De
cember 10. 1918, because on the day
before he had said after witnessing
the shooting Of Harris, "Oh, God! YOU
murdered that man, and it was crueI
and cowardly murder" Following
this assertion, he said that Thomson
threatened to get even.
william Flynn. a convict, who wit
messed the whipping of Brannon
wnen called by the State, said that
the lashlng had been one Of the mos'
cruel ever given in the camp. He
said that he was working in the yard
and heard Brannon's cries for mercy
Harris was the next witness. He

were torn and shattered by the shrap-
mel and thrown across the highways.
The German gunners showed good
aim. and as each bursting shell tore q
hole approximately 20 yards in circum-
ference in the earth, it can be seen
that the forward movement of the
French and British infantry was badly
hampered. The town of Scissors was
raked with artillery fire. and is In
ruins. The British made desperate ef-
forts to cross the Aisne near scissors.
The British suffered heavily there.
The advance guard of the allies
reached the Aisne on Sunday, and i'm
mediately began making preparations
to stretch pontoon bridges over the
muddy swollen stream. All along the
crest of the hill north of the stream,
German batteries had been planted.
After paying terrible toll, the
British were successful, and a bridge
made upon poptoons stretched from
the south to the north bank Of the
Aisne. One British battery crossed to
the north SIDE The German gunners
Immediately got the range and the
British were finally ordered to retire.
Then the allies brought up their heav-
lest guns through deep mud In which
the wheels sank to the axle. Before
dawn, battery of heavy cannon was
in position and at the first streak Of
day, a shell screamed across the
Aisne, bursting upon the crest of a
wooded hill where it was believed the
Germans had a battery masked. This
was the signal From the threats of
the big guns steady roar broke out
and for six hours the earth shook and
trembled beneath the cannoade.
Sapners Get BUSY.
Under cover of this fire the sappers
went forward again. Swiftly taking
another position, a German battery be-
gan hurting shells against the British
guns upon the north side of the Aisne.
Within an incredible short time the
German gunners got the exact range
and the shrapnels were exploding right
amongst the English guns. The
British artillery men were brave, but
their officers saw that it meant an
utilization to remain SO they ordered
the men to retire. Six cannon were
left behind
In the meantime the English had
been feeling out the heights across
the valley and began dropping shells
upon a German position.
Under this fresh cannoade the
British were able to push two more
batteries across the~ pontoon bridge.
These guns were planted at the north
ern head of the bridge, and began
Smelling the German guns. The Ger
man batteries were silenced and
British infantry and cavalry swarmed
across the bridge. The British charg-
ed up the slope of the hills and took
a number of German guns.

I was badly ruptured while lifting a

my only hope of cure was an opera

I got hold of something that quickly
and completely cured me. Years have
passed and the rupture has never re-
turned, although l am doing hard work

ton, no lost time, no trouble. l have
nothing to sell, but will give full in
