WILLIAM B. GREEN
To GIVE TESTIMONY
At FA|RBURN TRIAL
Marked Change Noted in
Appearance of Former
Banker as He Enters Court
as Witness
BY WARD GREENE

(The Journals STAFF correspondent
FAIRBURN, Ga. Feb. 11-Wil-
liam B. Green. a mere shadow of the
man who was once mayor of Fair
burn, walked into the Campbell coun-
ty courthouse today as the star wit
ness of the bank for the embezzle
ment of which he is now serving five
years in the state prison at Milledge-
Vile.
Green was called to testify on
behalf of the Fairburn Banking COM
pany against his own brothers,
George and Albert Green, in a civil
suit they have brought against the
bank to recover $3.50 worth of Lib
erty bonds left by their father, the
late Mr.. F.. w. Green.
Green, brought by deputy from
the state prison farm Wednesday
night, spent last night at his moth
er's home in charge of an officer ana
he was still under guard when he
was brought to the courthouse this
morning. AS he walked through the
court room to the witness room'
many eyes followed him, noting the
sunken checks and stopped shoulders
of the man. He was obviously IN
very bad health and appeared TO nave
lost many pounds since his trial last
spring.
When Green was called, however,
he proved as good a witness Tor
his brothers as he did for the bank.
He testified that his fathers bonds
were locked up in the safe during
the robbery and fire and were not
among the bonds on shelf in the
vault that the robbers" got. In tes-
tifying he did not swerve from his
original story that the bank was
looted by three hold-up men.
Green took the stand at IL o'clock
and was still testifying when court
adjourned at 1880 until 1870. He
will continue his testimony this aft
ernoon.
He was calm and composed. He
answered questions quickly and
quietly, but every now and then a
cough would shake him and. he kept
a handkerchief in his hand, applying
it frequently to his lips. He was
nervous, but it was physical more
than a mental nervousness, betray-
ing itself in a slight twitch of his
left arm.
His testimony for the most part
consisted of minor details regarding
the management of the bank.
When the trial of the Green broth
ers' suit began this morning before
Judge John B. Hutchinson an odd sit
uation was esented-namely at
torneys for the bank presenting to
the jury evidences of Green's high
character when he was vice presi-
dent of the bank, exactly the oppo-
site of their denunciation of him at
his trial. BY this evidence they in
tended to show that the bank had Of
ficiaIs it believed to be trustworthy
and thus was not liable for the loss
of the bonds, which the Green broth
ers are making the basis of their

BIG FORCE OF
SINN FEINERS

6. DUBLIN, Feb, AI.-Fighting in the
open as regularly organized troops,
Sim Fein soldiers have invaded
Skibbereen, a small town southwest
of Cork.
The Sim Feiners raided the own.
captured three prisoners and with
drew before the police and soldiers
had been drawn up to meet the at
tack.
Haunting notices were left that
the town will be raided again. The
notices were taken seriously, since
warning had been given of the fist
impending raid.
The personality of Michael Col
Inns, alleged commander of the Irish
republican army, began to take on a
legendary quality with these raids.
Previously reported killed, he was
credited with having led the SIKH
bereen foray personally, dashing into
the city on horseback at the head of
several hundred armed men who fired
volleys down the open streets, com
polling citizens to halt with hands
in the air.

it was said.
The mystery surrounding the ex-
plosion which preceded the fire and
which shook the rover part of the
city has not been cleared up to the
satisfaction of officials. Authorities
at the Augusta arsenal believe that
flares which were being loaded for
shipment to the Charleston navy yard
could not have caused an explosion
of such force, but railroad officials
said no other explosives were known
to be in the building. The second ex-
plosion, which occurred after the
structure was in flames, was the
lieved to have been due to the fire
reaching the flares.

Sir Hamar Greenwood
Tells Commons 1888
Rounds of Ammunition
We're Seized at Dublin

LONDON, May 26 (By The .Asso-
ciated Press American ammunition
totaling 16,988 rounds has been can
tured in the Dublin district since
March 26 last, Sir Hamar Greenwood
Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated in
the House of Commons to-day.
The Chief Secretary made this state
ment in reply to Colonel Martin
Archer-Shee Unionist member for
Finsbury, who asked him whether am
munition of American manufacture had
recently been captured in raids on Sim
Rein premises in Dublin, and, if so,
what was the amount and the nature
of the captures
Colonel Archer-Shee, in a supplement
tary question, asked whether, in view
of the fact that large sums of money
had been raised in the United States
for the support of the campaign of
assassination and anarchy in Ireland,''
strong representations would be made
to the United States government with
reference to this fact and the finding
of this ammunition.
Another member wanted to know
how it was that this large amount
could come to Ireland and whether
Sir Hamar would ask the United States
to assist in preventing its repetition
The Chief Secretary said he noted the
Importance of these supplementary
questions and would confer with the
Foreign Secretary regarding them.

Surety COmpany Risk

ATLANTIC CITY, May 26.-Frederic
N. Withey, representative of the Ma
tional Surety Company, told the
Kiwanis Club at its weekly session here
to-day that the ideal risk was fat
man who was married and given to
cussing.
Each of those qualifications, ne said,
made for honesty, and when they were
combined in an individual, the risk,
from the point of view of surety
company, was negligible. A married
man was six times as honest as a
bachelor, said Mr.. Withey. A fat man
occupied his spare time with thought
of the next meal when he was hungry
and with nothing at all when he was
full. A man who swore when things
went wrong generally took no other
measures to get even with the scheme
of things.
showed that women were more honest
than men. Among the races, the
Chinese had the highest reputation for
honesty, possibly. Mr.. Withey sug-
gested, because theft was a capital
offense in recent times in China.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 26.-Captain

rowly escaped death. AS a result he
may be unable to continue his flight to

Captain Rickenbacker left here at $3.50

would take him to Washington, D. C..
by tomorrow night. 1t was his second
attempt to get away to-day, the first
having been stopped by fog.
Rickenbacker circled the field few
times before winging off in a north
easterly direction. The fog had cleared
and air conditions seemed ideal for
the start.
In the first attempt he went as far
as Martinez, thirty-five miles north
east Of here. The fog became thicker
as he progressed, and was so heavy
over the Sacramento River crossing at
Martinez that ali visibility was lost
He picked his way back to the field

Before leaving the second time Rick
enbacker expressed a doubt that he
would reach Washington tomorrow

He expected to bomb" the cities over

commander of the American Legion.
The real purpose of the flight was to
enable him to attend a banqeut given
by the Metropolitan Club in Washing

LONDON, May 26.-The Sim Feiners
carried their incendiary warfare to
Cork to-day, setting fire to the resi-
dences of several prominent Unionists
and destroying several other houses on
the outskirts of the city and the golf
clubhouse. The attack was in retalia-
tion for the destruction by Crown
forces of four houses in Blackrock,
County Cork, early this week. after the
troops had been fired on from those
structures.

smoldering ruins to-day, the prison

Alarm Given by Ruse
When the Sim Feiners invaded the
building and held up the employees
one official was talking on the tele-
phone. He guessed what~was happen
ing, and, dropping the thread of his
conversation, he leaned close to the
mouthpiece and whispered, "Come at
once or you'll be too late" As he
spoke he was ordered to cut off the
conversation and he hung up the re-
ceiver. 1t was this alarm which
brought the, first lorry load of troops
to the scene
There were other disorders in Ire
land. The railway line between Cork
and Youghal was blocked, completely
severing communications between those
cities, as the highways were already
obstructed. In Belfast last night there
was rioting, in which one person was
killed.
