During the Inquiry Witness
Testities Peonage Victims
on Williams Plantation
We're Thrown Into River
Some Killed With AK
Clyde Williams Responds
to Death Roll for Eleven:
Appeals for Mercy Vain

COViNGTON, Ca, April 6.-Clyde
Manning, negro farmer boss, told the
story OF the wholesale slaughter on the
alleged "peonage plantation" Of John
5. Williams in Jasper County before a
Newton County jury here to-day. In
response to the roll call of eleven ne
groes whose bodies have been found
either buried or in the rivers in this
section, chained and weighted down
the negro responded to each name
"Hc's dead"
Manning's story remained unshaken
during the first days session of the
Superior Court. Lawyers for the de-
Fense attacked it in vain, and Judge
John &. Hutcheson refused to rule out
the testimony Of two agents of the
department of Justice who investigated
peonage conditions. The court also re-
fused to exclude testimony of the nine
Jasper County deaths, in addition to
the three deaths revealed by the find
ing of bodies in Newton County.
The testimony indicated that the
motive for the wholesale slaughter was
TO cover up peonage law violations, and
*hat Williams started putting the boys
out of the way" Immediately after the
investigation of peonage affairs was
started.
State Scores First Day
Throughout the day the points
scored were all for the state, but the
defense as yet has not revealed any
part OF its testimony.
Manning's wife and other negroes
from the alleged peonage farm will
take the stand tomorrow morning and
by noon the position of the defense will
be known.
The negro Manning was the only
witness to-day. He was on the stand
from 10 o'clock this morning until 4:3O
o'clock this afternoon. He was in
is under indictment and will not be
compelled to answer any question tend
ing to incriminate himself unless he
desires. He gave his age as twenty
seven, but didn't know where he was
born. He said he had been on the Will
liams plantation for thirteen years, and
was arrested two weeks ago. His wife
is the cook for Williams, he said.
Manning told the jury that Will
liams obtained many of the negroes
who were on his farm from the stock
adc in Atlanta, the Jail in Macon or
from the Jail at Monticello. Williams,
he said, went on their bond or paid
them out"
Former Congressman w. W. Howard,
counsel for the prosecution of VIII

valid Lost Faith and ANY
Aversion to Ending Life

Twenty-four hours after Mrs. Will
liam Birch Rankine vanished on the
East Side last Friday she was seen in
the lobby Of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel by
woman who has known her for sew
eral years. This development has con-
vinced searchers that the wealthy
widow is alive, probably in hiding.
The woman who gave this informa-
ton asked j. M. Nye, an investigator
of the Guaranty Trust Company, not to
reveal her name, but she established d
to his satisfaction that she was sufi-
ciently we'll acquainted with Mrs. RAN
kline to have recognized her.
This woman lived in New Canaan
at the time Mrs. Rankine had a home
there" Nye said. "She has cncoun-
tered her from time to time since thew
both moved to New York. She told me
that she passed within two or three
feet of Mrs. Rankine in the lobby of
the Ritz at $3.50 last Saturday. She
spoke to her, but Mrs. Rankine passed
on without acknowledging the greet
ing. l am confident it was Mrs. Ran
kline and l feel that she is alive now"
Search Extends to Hotels
The clerks at the Ritz were posi-
tive that no one family resembling
Mrs. Rankine had been near the desk
of the hotel, and were equally posi-
tive that she had not registered there
under her own name or any other.
From now ON the search for the miss
ing widow will be extended to other
hotels in the city.
During the day harbor policemen
dragged the East River unsuccessfully
near ne the shore at the Greensboro
Bridge. Other efforts were made to
find the wealthy woman. All told, there
were four persons who informed Nye
they had seen Mrs. Rankine. Nye said
he was positive, however. that three Of
them had been mistaken.
plausible reason for Mrs. Rankine's
search for pawnshop before she van
ished on the East Side last Friday was
supplied last night by her dearest
friend, Mrs. Louise Closer Hale,
writer and actress. The wealthy widow
was bent on suicide, according to Mrs.
Hale, and was trying to buy pistol.

Vesuvius in Eruption Again.;
Most Violent i'm Is Years

NAPLES. April (By The Associated
s).-Mount Vesuvius is in active
eruption. The eruption is the most
violent that has occurred in fifteen
years. It is being accompanied by i'm
pressive internal rumblings.
Dense clouds of smoke mixed with
flames form a majestic but alarming
picture.
Many American tourists have been
attracted by the spectacle, but are pre-
vented from approaching the crater by
the showers of hot ashes and cinders
and the movement of molten lava.
Vesuvius has punctuated the CEN
turies since the early Christian era
with numerous eruptions, one of the
more important Of them being in 1905,
when considerable loss was inflicted in
lives and property and part of the
crater was blown off.
The first historic record of Vesu-
vius's activity was in IS A. D., when

Mayor Hylan will run for Mayor

This was accepted by politicians gen.

seemed bit shy when asked his plans
for the coming campaign.
Hylan's availability was informally

There is an understanding between

that Tammany shall have the dispo-

same as usual, and that the spoils
shall be divided as they have been dur
ing the last three years.

At least thirty counties will be
represented in the Boys and Girls
Livestock Judging Contest to be

ed by the Louisville Live Stock Ex-
change. More counties are likely to
enter within the next few weeks &C.
cording to M. L. Hall, asst. state
club leader, information to the ef-
feet having been sent by Mr.. Hall
to w. s. Bell. president Of the Elk
change, yesterday.
Interest in the contest has been
steadily increasing, according to Mr..
Hall, who has been following. the
elimination contest now underway
in many of the counties for the Sc
lection of the contestants for the
State Fair event. Great importance
is attached to this even at the State

Exchange and the winner OF the
State Fair contest will represent the
state in the Junior Judging contests
to be held at the International Live
stock Exhibition each year.

voting considerable space to the
preparations for the State Fair event
because of the educational value to
the future farmers of this form of
competition.

New Albany Mother Is Victor,
Almost by z TO ! Vote for
MayoraIty Race

New Albany, Ind. July 27.-For
the first time in their histories. one
Of the Falls Cities will have q wo-
man candidate for Mayor.
Democratic voters of New Albany
yesterday granted their suffrage to
Mrs. Lille M. Kurfess, widow, moth
er Of two grown sons and daugh-
ter. in preference to two men COM
uetitors. Mrs. Kurfess led her near
est opponent, Claude A. Sittason,
with nearly twice the number Of
votes cast for him.
Her Republican opponent for the
chief executive office of New Albany
will be Robert NJ. Morris. incumbent,
who defeated Thomas e. Fogle by
1,242 votes. The primary was held
yesterday instead Of May 8 because
of the fact that the vote to consider
the city manager plan in April had
caused a postponement. The pri-
maries failed to rouse the usual en-
thusiasm, and only sixty per cent Of
the voters cast ballots.
Lead Is Nearly 2 to
Mrs. Kurfess' score was 1883
votes. Mr.. Sittason polled S62, and
Earl e. Dreamer, the third candidate,
eighty-fve. The closest contests on
the respective tickets developed in
the races of the four councilmen-at-
large.
Mrs. Kurfess' election is due, II is
said, to her quiet and thorough can
vass among the Democratic elector-
ate. When she announced her can
didacy in March, she said that she
did so because she wanted to be
Mayor of New Albany and not be-
cause of the novelty of the thing"
The results of the primary yester-
, day bore out her statement at that
time that she had a thorough organi-
cation and that she would make a
vigorous campaign.
