/ I JURORS Try
MAYORS CASE: [:
HE: II: TO-DAY
CITY Clerk Van Way on the
Witness Stand Tells De
tails Of Purchases by the
City ut the W atkins Hard
ware Store.
-N .s.N.

The case OF Mayor HatKlhS, VINO Ie
charged by Frank Richmond with sell
;nr to the City of FL Centre $34.O5
worth Of hardware from his story
while a member Of the Board OF
Trustees, began this morning before
Justice Mayficld, with only seven
Jurors. A venire summoned was cX-
hausted with only seven qualified and
to e,:rcditc the case attorneys stipu-
lated that the trial proceed.
The only witness called this morn
ing was City Clerk Van Way, placed
on he stand by Assistant District
Attorney F. r. Simon. His exam
ination was brief, because Attorney
Chidcrs, for the defense, promptly
stipulated as to the main facts of his
testimony, admitting that Mayor Wat
kins was a member of the board OF
trustees, and that he sold to the city,
while d member Of the board, bill
Of hardware amounting to $34.O5. In
his cross examination Of Van Way,
however, Attorney Childers brought
out a number of facts expected to
weigh favorabIy for the mayor with
the jury.
Under cross-examination Mr.. Van
Way estimated that he goods pur-
chased from Mr.. Watkins did not
amount to more than 10 per cent OF
the small shelf hardware bought To-
cally. On these sales, he said, the
mayor allowed 10 per cent discount,
as if cash were paid, although the
city did not pay he bills until a Ger.
tain date the following month.
Mr.. Van Way said that Mayor Wat
kins never offered to sell goods to
the city and would never make the
sale unless an emplOye Of the city
came for the articles. At times, said
Mr.. Van Way, he sought to talk about
pricese with Mr.. Watkins, and the
mayor told him to come to the store.
The 10 per cent discount to the city
was never allowed by other hardware
stores, Mr.. Van Way said, until he
went to them and told them that Mr..
Watkins allowed it. The SAVING TO
the city as a result Of this special
price, he estimated, amounted to about
500 4 year.
The trial adjourned at noon until
1870. 1t is said there are number
of witnesses to be called by both sides.
The endcavor of the defense will be
to show clearly to the jury that May
or Watkins acted in good faith and
that in doing 50 he committed no
crime.
The seven men hearing the case
are Garland McLain, W. B. Patter-
son, W. II. Pruitt, /. Maupin, G. f..
