Detective Tells of Long
 Search for David OvertOn

Huntsville, September 27.-(Special.)- )-B. A. Hodgins, one of the detectives who has been engaged in the search for David D. Overton. has given an interview to the press here telling something of the chase and proving that Overton was as
 elusive as fox.
 "We first jumped Overton in the Fisk
 neighborhood in the northern. part of Madison county" he said He was visit
 ing among friends and relatives in that section, eating supper at one place and
 sleeping probably six or seven miles
 away. He remained in that country about two weeks. dropping decoy letters
 here and there. About this time his wife
 and children got In touch with him. The four then got in an automobile and made circuitous trip through Alabama and Mississippi and into Louisiana a few days ago. On September 2 Mrs. Overton reg istered under the name of Mrs. Naomi Brown at the Istruma hotel, at Baton Rouge, and lodged on the second floor. Overton was registered there as J. D. Scott and occupied room on the fourth floor, He would drop down occasionally and visit his family. While registered under the name of Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Overton drew on the Henderson bank at Huntsville for $3600. The draft created suspicion and Overton made dash for the brush and escaped. stopping next with farmer named McAdams 10 miles out of Baton Rouge. On the day follow ing Overton got McAdams to drive to Corbin, La, running then over to Ham, mond and taking the Illinois Central train north.
 "The next trail of Overton followed him

moderate expense accounts. Overton was in control of the election machinery and on the night before the election many Of tho official ballots that were stored in the courthouse disappeared Judge Law Ter thought this was an attempt to stuff the ballot boxes and had new ballots printed in different color. If there was a scheme to stuff the boxes 1t was de- feated this way.
 Judge Lawler charged Overton with be- claimed to have evidence that one Chat tanooga shipping house had supplied Overton with $90000 worth of liquor from January l, 1916, to the first part of May of the same year. The liquor is said to have been shipped by boat down the Ten nessee river to some convenient point where it would be transferred to taxi- cabs and brought to Huntsville. No tangible connection between Overton and the bootleggers of Madison county and Huntsville was ever established, however. It is the supposition that Overton was guilty of being the head of the bootleg gers that leads the prohibitionists to say that the murder of Judge Lawler was brought about by the lawless liquor ele- ment.
 Personally Lawler and Overton were re- garded highly as moral men and good citizens.
 It is the general opinion that rotten politics is at the bottom of the whole trouble The day for cleaning house has come in Madison county, and 1t is not likely that there will be another dis honest election in this county soon.
