Montsomery. November 2i.-X.
M Quinn of Franklin county. who
WINS chosen at the general election
November ms a democratic cleo
tor from Alabama, was indicted
today by the Franklin county
grand jury on charge of em-
bexxling about $45.OOO from a bank
at Russellville. in which he was
employed. Quinn was said to
have made good all but about $14.-
600 Of the alleged shortage.
state officials pointed out today
that should Quinn be convicted
before January Fl. when the cleo
tors OF the state are to meet to
cast their vote for President Will

! feature of the law Judge Allen was
! very dramatic in his denunciation of
'monarchial form of government
| that sought to mobilize its entire force
to punish one man"
JUDGE ALLEN ASSAILS LAW
Here is a case" said Judge AL
len, ''of a man charged with vio-
lation of the law of the state. Other
men have been charged with like Sc
rious crimes. Unfortunately too many
men have been justly accused of crime
and yet 1 daresay there never has
been trial in the state of Alabama
when there was such an array of
counsel against one defendant as APP
pears before this court today. Why?
because the lawmakers of Alabama in
1915 seem to have become dissatisfied
with the then present conditions in
the state and they undertook. it seems
to me, not to make a government of
the people and by the people, but a
centralized government by which GER
tain officers designated by the legis-
iature could, at 1eir will, without
cause, take charge of the business of
any county in this state and direct
the prosecution of any man in this
state in violation of the precedent that
mas been established by long years of
law and order in Alabama. Really, is
this the state of Alabama or a mon
archy? Are not all the forces of the
law enforcing machinery of the state
modified against this defendant? III
certainly is not a fair law that en-
ahles one man to be prosecuted with
greater vigor than another; as the
law, as | understand it, means that
all men stand equal before It,
Here we have the attorney gen
eral and two circuit solicitors all an

MARTIN REPLIES BRIEFLY

70 this severe arraignment Attor-
Iley General Martin replied briefly tina :
Judge Miller was presiding at the re-
quest of Circuit Judge Robert C.
Brlckell. and that he and Solicitors j.
FRITZ Thompson and Joseph r. Tate
We're present at the request of County
Solicitor FAC Drake.
In fact" said Mr.. Martin, "AIr. Tate
was here before this crime was com
mitted conducting Investigations at
the request of Mr.. Drake"
Following this exchange of prelim-
mary remarks Judge Allen filed a mo-
ten to quash the entire jury venire
on the grounds that Overton had
never been arraigued and also that
the jurors had been drawn contrary
to law. Judge Miller overruled the mo-
ton. Judge Miller also ruled that the
same jury that pass on the pleas In
abatement would hear the remainder
of the trial. Judge Allen then orally
objected to going into trial He was
overruled.

STARTS ONCE MORE
ON RETURN VOYAGE
This Time Submarine Merchantmen Lifts Anchor
and Leaves New London Pier in Broad Daylight
and Glides Down Sound Without Hesitation
or Evidence of Fear

Watch Hill, r. L. November 21.-The
German commercial submarine
Deutschland, which started again from
New London, Conn, for Bremen this
afternoon. passed here tonight, NOV
ing eastward through Block Island
sound. She was without convoy 10
miles off shore.
AS the Deutschland passed this point
at sunset it was thought she prob
ably would not be sighted again be-
fore daybreak. BY that time it was
estimated she should be in the vi
cinity of Nantucket South Shoals light
ship. Coast guard stations along the
coast were under orders from Wash
ington, the officers said, to reveal nc
observations of the submarine which
they might make.
ON REVERSE COURSE
Passing Watch Hill, eastbound. the
Deutschland was on a course exact
" the reverse of that which she fol-
lowed on reaching New London on
November 1. She was headed past
the north shore of Block Island and
going toward Point Judith.

his westbound course as marked by

the coast of Martha's Vineyard. Co
