Trial at Augusta

While testifying Tuesday in
Augusta. in the preliminary
trial of J. B. Conner, alleged
confederate, White was charged
with prejury and will be brought
back to Augusta from Little Rock
to face that charge as soon as
the courts there release him.
The Rev. w. H. Afford, negro of
SCOTS, arrested as a confederate
Of Whites. was released on
1000. bond Tuesday. He told
officers that he had been con-
nected with the system operated
by White since 1914. He said he
had kept a careful record of all
cases in a book and offered to
turn the book over to the officers
who are working on the case.
Conner was held to the grand
jury according to Sheriff Alex
McGregor and officers are puz-
zled that none of the negroes,
illegally separated by White, has
appeared to seek advice for fu-
ture procedure on present mari
tai status.

One Victim at McCrory

There are probably several
negroes at or near McCrory who
have been swindled by White or
Conner in the above line and we
have just learned of one victim
who lives here. Cashier II. w.
Jernigan informed us Wednes-
day that Mary Brown, who cook
ed in his home had secured one
of the said divorces and had
since married a negro by the
name of Ed johnson. If there
are any others we would advise
them as we are now going to do
Mary and Ed ''See Mr.. Hutchins
at once about getting a real gen.
uine divorce"
The Home news. (McCrory, Ark.) 1915-1922, 1917-01-26

It was then evident that all of
the work was fraudulent.
Fifteen different negroes in
one negro settlement then ad-
vised me through various routes
that they too had secured one Of
these Little Rock divorces. On
examining these negroes, | learn
ed that a local negro, John B.
Conner, was the e gro from
whom they bad secured their
divorces and that w. H. White
was the lawyer working with
Conner. | filed information a
gainst Conner and he verified
the statements made by other
negroes and I filed information
against White and our sheriff
came after him, after having
wired officers in Little Rock to
hold him.
Many Have Married Again
Negroes in our section very
naturally have taken the forged
DEGREES given them as being gen.
uine and almost in every case
have remarked. The scope of
this scheme is we'll spoken in the
words of a negro in Augusta,
who said, I know some of the
niggers who have been doing
this kind of business, and they
have just sense enough to know
that they could get the nigger's
money, give him a paper looking
like a court paper with a red
seal over some blue ribbon and
he would be satisfied. They have
sense enough to work all over
the niger country, you can de-
pend on that.
John B. Conner is notary
public, a school teacher of Is
years experience, and is smart
negro"

W. H. White, is Taken to Au-
gusta as Witness Against
His Alleged Agent.
{ From Arkansas Gazette, Mon
day, January, 22.)

After confessing to having is
sued about 40 fraudulent divorce
DEGREES, according to officers, w.
H. White, a negro stenographer,
9O5 West Ninth street, who was
arrested Saturday, was taken to
Augusta yesterday afternoon by
Deputy Prosecutor R. NJ. Hut
cbins and Sheriff McGregor of
Woodruff county, where he will
appear today as a witness against
}. B. Conner, a negro, believed
to be one of Whites many ac-
completes. The arrest of White
followed an investigation of Con-
ner's activities and his arrest by
Woodruff county officials.
In an examination yesterday
by Prosecutor M. E. Dunaway
and Deputy Sheriff James Drake
White confessed to many alleged
false divorce DEGREES he had is
sued, the officers say. The con-
IeSslon was more or less "piece
meal. " White is said to have
made admissions on specific ques-
lions, but volunteered no infor-
nation. From correspondence
taken from his office, it is be-
lleved that his activities cover
many counties, and may have
oeen carried on for several years.

crees were legal.
Operated Since 1914

Upon completion of Whites
testimony against Conner at Au-
gusta today he will be brought
back to Little Rock to be prose
cuted on the charges of fraud,
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and other offenses.
White said that he had been
a stenographer in Little Rock for
IA years and had never before
had any trouble. 1t is believed
by the officers that his activities
e e n d as far back as 1914.
None of the evidence shows that
he made an attempt to initiate
the handwriting of the chancel-
lor in whose district a client re-
sided, but signed them all on the
typewriter. His seal, bearing
the words, Seal of the Chan
Gerry Court" applies equally to
all chancery districts, in that no
especial district is indicated.
Knew of Spurious Divorces
Deputy Prosecutor Hutchins
of Woodruff county, said that eff
forts have been made for some
time to unearth the f fraud of
which White is said to be the
head.
Lawyers in Eastern Arkan-
sas," said Mr.. Hutchins. have
known of these spurious divorce
DEGREES for some time, and all of
us have been trying to locate the
exact source and to get positive
information that would incrimi-
nate h e guilty parties. Some
time ago, possibly six months, |
wrote Judge Martineau that there
seemed to be so many negroes
who said that they had obtained
divorces in Little Rock that it
seemed to me that there was
possibility that some unscrupu-
lous lawyer was imposing a false
proof on his court. The Judge
seems to have exhausted every
resource trying to locate ny
lawyer who presumed to do that
character of business.
