FIVE NEGROES LYNCHFD
FOLLOWING MURDER OF.
A WHITE MAN BY NEGRO
BALLOT BOXES ROBBED
BY CATS TO PREVENT
RECOUNT, SAYS KNOTT

Mr.. Knott has issued the following
statement:
On July Bird I fled contest pro-
ceeding in Baker county to throw out
the entire vote of Sanderson and Glen
st. Mary precincts for the reason
that so many irregularities had been
reported to me in the holding of the
election at those precincts, that I be-
lieved that the integrity of the cleo
ton held in said precincts had been
entirely destroyed, and that the whole
vote in those precincts should be
thrown out altogether. After the de-
cision of the supreme court that man
damus was the proper proceeding to
pursue, had my attorneys present a
petition for mandamus to Judge
Wills to have Sanderson, MacClenny,
Glen St. Mary and Taylor precincts
recounted, so as to ascertain if pos
sible what the electors actually
marked upon their ballots. The vote
as first returned by the inspectors of
those precincts gave large maiorities
in favor of Mr.. Cats.
Judge Wills issued the writ and the
inspectors from the several precincts
met in MacClenny yesterday, August
18th, for the purpose of recounting
the ballots pursuant to the writ of
mandamus issued by Judge Wills on
my petition. The supervisor of reg
istration and the county Judge deliv-
cred the ballot box of Glen St. Mary
to the inspectors for the purpose of
recounting the ballots. When the in
spectors opened the ballot box it was
found that the box had been robbed
and not a single ballot was in the
box.
From this it would appear thai
some of the Cats supporters have
been driven to desperation, in order
to prevent d fair and accurate count
of theeballots as actually marked b.
the electors in the late primary. Fol
two months, through his counsel, Mr.
Cats has fought me in the courts
with every technicality which his law
yers could devise. TIE sum total O
his technicalities presented by his at
3 torneys to the supreme court wa
sixty-seven in number. The suprem
) court by their decision made it yer,
clear that all those technicalitie
: were without merit and none of then
was sufficient to prevent a fair, &C
curate and honest count of the ballot
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-08-20

as actually marked by the electors
Mr.. Cats then, through his attorneys,
interposed an answer, again attempt
ing to defeat an accurate and correct
count, even though the original tally
sheet returned by the inspectors from
the precinct then in question, showed
on its face that the second choice
votes had not been intelligently tai
lied. The supreme court again, by
its opinion rendered August 18th,
made it very clear that such an an
swer was wholly insufficient as an ex-
cuse for not making an accurate
count, tally and return of the vote
as cast and ordered that a peremp-
tory writ issue to the inspectors of
that precinct. The opinion of the
court in that matter also indicated
that if the answer had been sufficient
in its allegations that such an answer
could not prevent the court upon trial
of the issue, from examining the bal
lot box and its contents. Having LOST
out in the courts on all technical OBJ
Jections to prevent an accurate and
correct count, the only thing left for
the Cats supporters to do was to rob
the ballot box so that there would be
no vote to be recounted.
The robbing of the ballot box OF
Glen st. Mary precinct showed thai
the ballot boxes in Baker county had
not been properly safeguarded anc
it was useless to proceed further with
the opening of other ballot boxes il
that county. I have, Of course, re
quested my attorneys to dismiss my
! petition to have the ballots in tina
county recounted. | do not know
whether the ballots in the other boxe
have been stolen or not, but. since tn
boxes have not been properly safe
| guarded, there is no way Of knowin
that the ballots, If in the boxes, ar
the same or bear the same mark
that We're put thereon by the elector;
What has happened in Baker count
is entirely in accord with what MI

/ speeches. In that speech he is quote
as saying that he would retain hi

ELECTION FIGHT OF
CENTURY AGO WAS
CLOSER THAN OURS

That there is nothing new under
the sun-not even an election dis
uute-is shown by records on file in
the Office of the circuit clerk. Par
ties who were recently looking over
files Of almost a century ago "dis-
covered" case which has many SIM
liar points to the great contest be-
tween Knott and Cats, before the
supreme court.
The action Is titled "Charles VIII
SON VS.. Peter Alba, Mayor Reprs.,"
in which the plaintiff alleges that the
defendant4was elected in a fraudulent
manner, and asks the court to set
the election aside. The date was
May ID, 1888.
The usual legal procedure was en-
tered into, and briefs were filed
which claimed that a tie vote was
cast between the two candidates,
each receiving n votes. The can
wasting board was at loss to know
what to do in the case, and for want
of better action, adjourned. When
the case was brought up the next
day, Wilson's brief alleges, that a
vote was taken from an alderman,
and added to his opponent, making
the result II to 72.
He further stated that three men
voted in the election who were not
qualified electors, and asked the
court to decide on this point also.
The case went to a jury, and it
was decided that Joseph G. Cosart
and F. A. Washington were not quail
fled electors, while Antoine Navar-
70, the other challenged elector, was
declared eligible.
The ruling of the court was that
the election should be held again to
determine who was the choice of the
people, but who the successful can
didate was history doth not recite.
