LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF MIS-.
SiSSIPPl ACCUSED OF &C.
cEPTiNG 5000 BRIDE.
A FEDERAL COURT M
Prosecution Would Not Be Surprised
at Attempt to Take Case From the
State Courts - BiIbo SAYS
Something May Happen.


Mississippi's lieutenant governor,
Thee. G. Bilbo, has been summoned to
appear before the Kinds County cir
cult court and defend a charge that
he accepted 5000 and agreed to take
$1,000 more for his vote and influence
in favor of a bill pending before the
last legislature. With State Senator
G. A. Hobbs he was jointly indicted at
Vcksburg, but the case was brought
here on a change of venue. Hobbs
was declared not guilty at Vicksburg
after a rather Sensational trial.
The testimony is expected to be
practically the same as that brought
out at the Hobbs trial. Hobbs did not
deny that he and others took 5000
from Stephen Castleman of Belzoni,
~ostensibly to help the bill, but really
to catch Castleman in bribe-giving, he
said. Bilbo is charged with being a
party to the Hobbs scheme. The bill
in question provided for a new county
with Belzoni as the county seat.
Bilbo and Hobbs charge that the in
dictments resulted from undue polite
al activities of Governor Earl Brewer,
and while Brewer admits he employed
detectives to work up the evidence in
the Hobbs and Bilbo cases. he has
said i formal statements that he did
1t in an endeavor to stop such alleged
practices in the Mississippi Legisla.
ture.
During last week attorneys for Bill.
DO tried to have Circuit Judge Teat
excuse himself, because they said he
has passed opinion on the Bilbo case,
They also tried to have the case taken
back to Vicksburg, saying it was
brought to Jackson illegally. All their
motions were overruled.
Lieutenant Governor Bilbo conferred
with Mr.. Cassidy, Of his counsel. There
was nothing to say for publication ex
cept an intimation that We are wait
ing, perhaps something will happen
There was no special activity noted
in prosecution circles. These lawyers
have not attached special importance
or significance to the rumor that the
defendants would seek relief denied
by the circuit court judges through
the federal court, thought they admit
that it would occasion no surprise il
the effort were made.

Aueoe Teat Biased,

An extended conference was IN
progress here between Theo. G. Bilbo,
lieutenant governor, under indictment
for alleged completely In a bribery
transaction said to have been ar
ranged. discussed or attempted to be
arranged and discussed in connection
with certain Delta county legislation
about two years ago, and his chief
counsel, Judge Patrick Henry Of
Vicksburg and James w. Cassidy of
B~rookhaven. The conference was held
in a room in the Edwards hotel, with
State Senator Hobbs, who was jointly
indicted with Bilbo. and acquitted in
Warren county; B. NJ. Brady, an ardent
and consistent follower of the lieuten.
ant-governor, and others.
The parties were engaged in get
ting together the preliminary motions
and affidavits which are to b., filed
with the court. Just what the nature
OF these motions will be was not an
nounced. In a general way it is un-
derstood that a motion to quash the
Indictment will be filed, probably fol-
lowing the same line of argument
used in connection with the Hobbs
trial.
Another move which it is under
stood will be taken to ~disqualify Judge
James A. Teat to preside during the
trial. An effort will be made, as I'M
derstood. to show that Judge Teat has
already prejudiced the case; that he
is of biased and partial mind, and
could not preside fairly and impair
italy.
1t is said that there are affidavits
ready or will be for presentation to
the court, prepared by Kosciusko law
yers, by which the contention of bias
on the part of Judge Teat will be set
out in specific terms. Attorney Lee
of kosciusko reached here and it was
stated that he had brought with him
~affidavits from parties in Choctaw
county, setting forth that Inc judge
had expressed himself in terms preju-
dicial to the defendant during the
iNoo VI iC 'lopbo tllui' a. 1
fidavits were turned over to counsel
for the defense.

paneled, except what may be incident
al to examining talesmen.

cisco.
a model auditorium will be equipped
in the Mississippi building in San
Francisco, and each day during the
nine and one-half months of the TX
position the entire film will be run,
supplemented with slides and lectures
on Mississippi.
1t is planned to make the education
al feature as presented by motion
pictures so entertaining and attractive
that the Mississippi lecture auditorium
will be n of the popular attractions
Of the exposition. It's location in the
Mississippi building will attract many
who would otherwise perhaps fail to
give special attention to the Missis-
sippi exhibit.
The commission will, with the as.
sistance of expert representatives of
the film company, at once proceed to
closing contracts with various indi.
viduals and interests of the state for
moving picture footage to be used in
this official film. These contracts will
provide that at a reasonable eXposi-
tion commission the film will be run
as a part of the Mississippi exhibit
daily during the three-quarters of a
year duration of the exposition.
The, film will become the property
of the commission and will at the
close Of the exposition, together with
the general exhibit, be returned to the
state and placed in charge of the de-
partment OF agriculture and commerce.
