JOHN ALTMAN SPEAKS

Mir Altman was the last speaker. Four lawyers for the defendant have spoken to you,' he said, and it is the most se- rious thing in this case. Have they shown you one single thing to justify them for calling George Huddleston q bolshevik?
 "And that is libel. my friends, as bitter as vttrol We showed you what the bolsheviks are-boody- nurderers. And this is what they call George Hud- dleston. What was in their minds vten they published this horrible charge against Huddleston: Hadn't the bolshe- viks deserted France and England and basely betrayed their friends? That's -what a boshevik is. That's what they called him.
 And yet not d single time did they mention the word in their arguments, They tell jokes--jokes when a man E reputation is at stake. They ask why this suit was brought to Blount county It was brought here so George Hud- dIeston could get justice It was brought here because 1t is impossible to get justice in Jefferson county Why when our case came up down there they brought us in a list of juror to select from that looked like a board of directors of the Steel corporation After we got the jury we found one l of them who had said George Huddles- | ton was traitor to his country, and I we proved it on them and the court l declared a mistrial.
 JURlES IN JEFFERSON
 '"The juries that come beore us ir l Jefferson look like some of these mer | that come up here from Birmingham

tice in Jefferson county And so we have come up here to~you.
 Hugh Morrow is one of the most persuasive speakers in Alabama, but did you see how he put the knife into Huddleston? He said he liked him, that he was patriotic. and then charged him with having more regard for muzzie-loading shotgun than for our boys in France. Don't you know that is not sincereT'
 The speaker took up House Bill No. 5712 and explained 1t in detail, claim ing it was plain as day, and had nothing to do with protecting the Knights of Columbus and Catholics
 "Yes, the political fight down there is happily over" he said. but the ef- feet of the cartoons is not over These cartoons will be preserved forever, for The Age-Herald's files repose in the great Congressional Library at Wash ington and in, the archives of our state at Montgomery, where they can be seen by all future generations.
 There is only one way to offset these Hbels You can put a reputation on
 that libel that will last as long as Alabama lasts Let Huddleston's chill dren in future years know that an Ala
 hama jury resented this series of
 slanderous and libelous cartoons"
 EXTRACTS FROM AGE-HERALD Taking up the question of malice the speaker cited extracts from news ar l ticles and editorials in Age-Herald 1 files. He also placed Age-Herald files on chairs and exhibited to the jurymen !, the cartoons complained of.
 "No one thought Champ Clark any less patriotic because he opposed con- scription," he said. There were about ] 169 men who voted along with George | on this measure.
 1 "Out of 116 or 11S so-called wal
 measures George only voted against i three, but he also voted agains' President Wilson's bill to muzzle tho press. but they said nothing about that
 George said in Congress that the 1 press of the United States was being
 subsidized to the extent of $96,ooo, oo( a year, but you never hear them say l anything about that.
 i Now as for damages look over | these cartoons and see the lies, hatred and venomous slander What are you
 going to do? There is but one way tC l furnish protection. They would laugh at verdict of three or four or five l thousand dollars. Former friends oi l Huddleston now pass him on the streets l of Birmingham and won't speak to him You do not know he1things that are 1 being said right here in your owr
 town now about Huddleston. l leave the case in your hands" Mir. Altman | finished at 3:45.
 l In beginning his charge to the jury Judge steele instructed the jury tha' | all statements by counsel with refer l ence to jury conditions in Jefferson county were excluded.
