FORMER CLIENT
ACCUSES JUDGE
AND ATTORNEY
Charges $500 Was Illegally
Obtained in Auto Theft
Investigation.

With the filing of an affidavit charg-
ing Charles W. Robinson, an attorney,
with taking money under false pre-
lenses from Harry Parsons, alleged au-
tOmObile thief. two serious charges IN
volving officials of the city and criminal
court have come to light.
Parsons charges that Robinson took
his money and informed him that he
had paid it over to Judge Walter
Pritchard and Deputy Prosecutor Ralph
Spann of the city court in order to
keep the city court from binding Par
sons to the grand jury.
Robinson declares that with the per
mission Of Prosecutor Claris Adams he
conducted a defense of his clients iE
the grand jury room" and succeeded in
getting one OF the clients free and faulty
Indictment returned against the other.
He declares Parsons charges against
him are 4 "frsme-up'' and Insists that
the money paid to him was not an
exorbitant fee for the services he rem
dered
PAID $500 EACH
AS ATTORNEY FEES.
In a statement on the case be said:
Harry Parsons and his brother, Ben
ton Parsons, were arrested. charged with
receiving stolen goods in connection with
the alleged operations of Z gang of aa-
tomobile thieves.
They paid me $1,000 as my fee for
defending them.
That is. they paid me 500 each, for
acting as their attorney.
Il got Benton Parsons out Of his trou-
de by going into the grand jury room
and conducting mis- trial in there.
Benton Parsons Was never indicted
by the grand jury.
Il was unable to keep the grand jury
from indicting Harry Parsons for re-
ceiving stolen goods, but they returned
a faulty indictment against him.
Later another indictment was re
turned against Harry Parsons.
DEPUTY PROSECUTOR
IN JURY ROOM.
Ralph Jones the deputy prosecutor
was in the grand jury room at the time
questioned the witnesses" said Rollin-
son.
Il tried the case OF Benton Parsons
in the grand jury room and got him free.

Parsons had no kick on the amount paid.

This statement Is being repeatedly

This is Warren r. McCrays home dis

the Marion county candidate.
The nght is being conducted on the

public sentiment for the candidate.

can control the convention win be sue

THE GREER ELECTION.

Perhaps to those outside rather than those in Greece does the action of the Greeks in the repudiation of the Venize- lbs policies come as surprise From the results of the election It would ap- pear that there was quite as much of a demand for getting rid of Venizelos as it was expected from those who had been viewing the situation from distance be- lieved that there would be an insistence upon retaining hfs leadership and in fluence But in Greece as 'in other countries the war conditions and the methods that have been employed in connection herewith have apparently in- creased the demands for change, and even though the change must come through the elimination Of the man who has done so much for Greece it has nevertheless been shown by the results.
 That Venizelos has failed to get an en- dorsement for his course is evident. Those who have opposed him have found sufficient ground upon which to direct the attacks against him, and their appeals have borne fruit as the election figures plainly show. If Greece is going .o abide 8 the outcome, and that is the basis upon which it is to be expected it will act, it means the end of Venizelos influence for the time being. That he should immediately sever his connection with the government is to be expected
 But the repudiation of Venizelos should not necessarily mean the return of Constantine. That is a possibility and one upon which the former king seems to be placing much dependence but it would indicate a policy which the new Greek government could hardly want to endorse ill view of the known attitude of the other European countries toward Constantine. Such it is believed would arouse much moro resentment among the packers of Venizelos than ha. i been caused by his defeat, and the feel i ing is such that peace in Greece is some thing to which there cannot be complet( indifference. The elimination of Venize
 los appears to be a'big enough step back
 ward without making it worse by per
 hitting the return of Constantine.

ABE BOTH TO BLAMEe

The controversy between the Western Union and the department of state loesn't appear to be getting any nearer a reconciliation the longer it continues. It has now gotten to the point where it is being tried before the public without in all probability giving the public all the facts upon which to base it's judg- ment l. is rather a surprising order to the effect that the cable business of the state department will not be handled un- less it is paid for in advance. It is un- 1su2l for a government to be treated in my such manner and while each side may be throwing out smoke screens to influence opinion one way or the other without getting too close to the actual facts ,1e idea of holding up government business unless there is absolutely a good reason for it will hardly appeal to the public.
 Whether such an order is due to the fact that the government has not paid it's bills for a period of many months, or whether it is a move made because the . 'nartment of state refused. to permit i1e landing of the South American ca ole .n Florida it would appear that each vas a separate matter and certainly il t'e government was paying it's bills as ii s-ould there would be no chance for the Western Union to fall back on such ar -cuse for refusing government business in fact the real reason is the cable dispute. It is well known how promp ne government expects corporations tc os in paying their bills and taxes. It 1giht apply similar reasoning when i ;'mes to paying government indebted ness.
 But should the Western Union be try h.g to embarrass the department of stat, because there are good and sufficien r,asons why it has prevented the hand Ing of the British cable the trouble as tumes an entirely different aspect On ihould have nothing to do with the oth CT and if, as is entirely possible ther may be a little blame on each side tn, luicker an understanding is reached tn better it will be for all concerned. I doesn't sound well to have it said tha Uncle Sam's agents are not paying hi bills, any more than it does that a cor poration should undertake to penalize tn government because a decision didn' please it.
