George Gordon Battle TestifieS
in Favor of Prosecutor in
Bigamy Dispute.

George Gordon Battle, vino was at
torney for Napoleon A. Bourasse, broker,
when the latter was defendant in
sivil action and a criminal charge of
bigamy in November. 1919, was the
principal witness for the defence yes
terday in the Supreme Court in the
trial of Assistant District Attorney Ed
win p Kilroe and Louis e. Swarts.
la wyer who represented Mrs Helen
Montrose St. Marie Bourasse, plaintiff
in the two actions, on an Indictment
charging failure to prosecute the GRIM
nal charge.
Mr.. Battle told of stopping in Mr..
Kilroe's office one day and telling him
IL at negotiations had been commenced
for settlement of the civil action. IL
was settled later for $4,000 lie asked
If the authorities would object to such
a settlement while the criminal action
was still pending. Mr.. Kilroe replied he
said. that there would be no objection,
but a civil settlement would have no
effect upon the criminal case. Mr..
Battle further aided the ISlroe case by
recalling the District Attorneys ques-
oning about an early marriage OF Mr..
BouTasse III Canada, OF WAloh Mr. Bdtlie
had not heard.
]. J. Lilly, an associate of MIR. Battle,
amplified this evidence OF Mr.. Kiiroes
INQUIRIES about the Canadian wife by
recalling that Mr.. Kilsoe asked Bourasse
himself about the wife and two children
supposed to be in Canada, to which the
broker replied by saying he would like
10 see them" II was the knowledge Of
this early marriage-earlier than the
one to Mrs Mary Coyue that was to
form the basis for bigamy-that justi-
fled the dropping of the criminal prose-
cution, the defence contends.
William Rand, prosecutor. closed the
peoples CAGE soon after the trial was
resumed In the morning whereupon
William NJ. Il. Olcott Of counsel for Mr.
Kilroe moved for dismissal on the
ground that there was no proof of con-
spiracy to defeat tho ends OF justice by
falling to continue the bigamy prosecu-
ton Justice Barlow $. Weeks denied
the motion after listening to arguments
OF counsel. holding that there was evil
dence sufficient to leave questions Of
fact for the jury to pass upon. He told
the jury, however. that his denial rs In
no sense to be taken as any n,imation
that the court believes the d. .endants
guilty"
The trial will be resumed Monday.

NO ACTION IN
WALSTONBURG CASE,

While there are parties under sur
veillance, and circumstantial evil
dence points strongly to those sus-
pected of shooting Willie Whitley at
his tobacco barn, no arrests have so
far been made. The coroner's jury
which adjourned after a brief session
has not yet assembled, neither have
warrants been issued. The report is
that Whitley was hot with pistol
which belonged in his home, and this
pistol was thrown in the well at his
house, that the hounds on the morn
ing of the murder tracked to his
home, and that domestic troubles
were the cause of the shooting. A
man alleged to have known some
thing of the matter, and to have
been connected with it, has proven
an alibi. The coroners jury is ex-
pected to bring in a verdict today
but so far nothing has been done.

JAX WANTS A QUART
OF REAL CHAMPAGNE

Jacksonville, April 26.-The Duvai
county board of commissioners is
searching for a quart of genuine Am
erican champage and Chairman Clark
has gone so far as to announce that
the board will not make public the
name of the donor. The sparkling
liquid is desired for the purpose of
christening the new bridge across the
St. Johns river here. which will be
opened about June /. and realizing its
scarcity the commissioners have de-
cided upon an early start in their
search for it.
Chairman Clark opposes the use of
imported champagne for the christen-
ing. "The bridge was built in Amer
lea by Americans for Americans"
said the commissioner. "Let us not
go back on the memory of our noble
forefathers and smash upon this far
reaching bridge the fruit of vineyards
OF a foreign cline. Champagne of
fiowery Florida is needed. One quart
will do, but he will not turn down a
hogshead of it if offered"
