FRIENDS SEEK TO
AID DR.. BACLEY
Delegation MAY Make
Appeal To Judge
Evans

A movement for intercession with
Judge Evans. of the South Georgia
federal court, in behalf of DR.. H. A.
c. Bagley, of Sumter county, sem
fenced this week to serve nine months
in the federal penitentiary on a
Flea of guilty of violating the anti
narcotic act, has been started here,
and it is said to be likely that a dele
cation of his neighbors in the Twen-
ty-eighth district may go to Macon
to present to Judge Evans a plea
for modification of the sentence inn
posed.
One of the chief reasons for the
contemplated action is that DR.. Bag
ley is 70 years of age, and many of
them feel that the humiliation Of
serving a prison term in the twilight
of his life, after many years of use
fulness. would crush him and proba-
bly, result in him never leaving prison
alive, Another is that they feel he
was the victim of trap set for him
by the federal investigator making
the case, falling unwittingly into it.
They also feel that he acted unwise-
ly in not employing an able attorney
to represent him in the case, and
that the result might have been much
different had he been ably advised and
had his own advocate appearing for
him, instead of merely employing a
Macon attorney to enter his plea of
guilty, formally and making brief
statement to the court to save him
the personal embarrassment of doing
it. The sentence of anything more
than fine came as a distinct surprise
to him and his friends.
DR. Bagley is the son of a New
England man who imm,grated to Sum
ter county many years ago. He was
born and reared on the scene of his
present home and his practiced medi-
cine as country physician since a
young man in his native locality He
is held in high esteem by all who
know him and, as one of his friends
put, "has done good all of his life,
instead of harm" He has many
family connections who are among
the most prominent people of the
community.
DR.. Bagley's friends feel that a
personal appeal by them to Judge
Evans may result in suspension or.
modification of the sentence that will
prevent him having to. seyve the sent
tence imposed
DIR. BaGley is at home here having
been given stay of sentence.

LIFE SENTENCE
FOR MRS. KABER
Husband SLAYER Found
Guilty With Recon-
mendation

CLEVELAND, July 16.-Mrs Eva
Catherine Kaber today was found
guilty of first degree murder, with a
recommendation of mercy by the
Jury which tried her on the charge
of plotting to kill her husband, Dan
iel F. Kaber.
Under the verdict, Mrs. Kaber must
serve the remainder of her life in
prison.
Though the jury had not reported
officially to the court, Judge Bernon
announced the decision to Attorney
Francis Poulson, the woman's per-
sonal counsel, so he might inform her
in the hope she would revive suffic-
iently from her stupor to appear in
court and hear the official announce
ment. w@H
Mrs. Kaber was carried into court
at 1890. The jury was brought in
a few minutes later and made its of
fetal report. Mrs. Kaber, who was
lying limp in the arms of a deputy
sheriff, when asked if she had any
thing to say, shook her head mega
lively Judge Bernon then pronounc
ed sentence, and she was taken back
to her cell.
Under the Ohio law there is no
hope for pardon under such YER
dict. William Corrigan, her counsel,
said he was well satisfied with the
verdict. The same expression was
made by County Prosecutor Stanton.
Attorney Poulson said he would
not appeal Mrs. Kaber's case.
Marian McArdle, who was with
her mother when told of the verdict,
said she was well pleased with the
according to Poulson.

REAL MENACE

The war which has been going on
for months between the Kemalist
Turks and the Greeks is an affair
Of much greater magnitude than the
peoule of this country realize. If
there were not so many other great
events occurring throughout the
world, this Turko-Greek war would
he considered news of the first i'm
portauce.
The great European powers are
becoming alarmed lest the Turks
under Kemal follow up the advan-
tage they have already gained by
making Constantinople and the Dar-
danelles untenable for Allied troops
and ships and thus upset the whole
settlement Of the near-East question.
There seems little doubt that the
situation has developed into one of
great seriousness.
One Of the incidents of the war
which is rather amazing to us Ameri-
cans is that 100000 Greeks are al
ready numbered among the victims.
1t is estimated that the total loss
of life directly due to the war was
at least Million up to July |. And
the end is not in sight.

HARDON THIRSTY
Source Of Grog Inter.
fered With BY
Officers

Two sources of some of the best
grade of moonshine liquor that has
been coming into Americus for many
months coming in fine class cop
per stills, were destroyed, at least
for the present, Friday by two raids
cunducted jointly by Sheriff Harvey,
of Sumter county, and Sheriff Chris
tian, Of Webster county, assisted
by Deupty Sheriff Summers and City
Marshal Pouncey, of Americus, Mar
shal j. C. Arlington, of Plains. One
of the stills was taken in Webster
county not far across the Sumter
line, and the other near Americus.
Both were brought here, but the
Webster contrivance was taken to
Preston later by Sheriff Christian to
be held as evidence for the grand
jury and courts.
The Sumter officers met Sheriff
Christian Friday morning at Parker's
mill, near the Webster line. They
started westward, drove into Webster
past one of the old Reid places, turn
ed to the left and followed blind
trail that led through a large wood.
Following this road, they finally
came upon wagon tracks which were
followed to a swamp. There the stil
location was found, with four barrels
Of beer. A search of the vicinity
revealed long copper worm and
condenser hidden in the weeds, evil
IDENTIFY against theft, but the boiler
was not found. Nobody was seen
and no arrests made.
I'VE have all necessary informa-
ton, however, as to the owner of the
STILL" said Sheriff Harvey Saturday,
land it is the intention to wait un-
Til the Webster grand jury meets,
when all the facts will be laid before
it. The case also will be reported to
the federal authorities"
The second raid was made at the
home of Wade Frazier, well known
offender of times gone by, who now
lives on the farm of A. r. Chunn 3
miles out on the Friendship road.
A quarter of mile from the Frazier
home in q pasture, and fenced IN to
protect it from the cattle, was located
a fine copper still of large capacity.
1t was located on creek, and could
be seen distance of $50 yards. 1t
was not in operation and no one was
found near it. The outfit was con-
fiscated and brought to the city Fri
day afternoon along with the Web
ster still, and later Frazier was ar
rested on Forsyth street in Ameri-
Gus. Afterward he made bond of
5000.
Frazier, who not long ago served
a Jail term under a federal sentence
for making liquor, moved his family
the first of this year from Webster
county not far across the line to the
present home. Sheriff Harvey states
he was notified about three months
ago that Frazier was then moving
a still from his former home to his
new location, but he waited until it
was reassembled and had been put
into operation again before raiding
it.
Both stills, it is said, have been
furnishing plentiful quantities of
liquor in Americus. The Webster
still is said to have been a source Of
supply of young man who was
caught in making deliveries from a
Balesman's auto in Americus a few
weeks ago, several quarts of liquor
