COURT
TO INVESTIGATE
PEONAGE CASES
Five Negroes Taken Into Custody
in Connection With the Probe
Just Started

Atlanta, March Federal activ-
ity in the investigation of alleged
peonage conditions on the farm OF
John $. Williams in Jasper county,
which, according to Il declaration by
Clyde Manning, negro farm boss. led
TO the murder of eleven negroes, was
renewed today with the questioning
by department of Justice agents Of
five negroes taken into custody late
Yesterday as material witnesses.
The fact that Williams and Man
ming already have been indicted in
the state courts on charges of the
murder of three negroes and that in
dictments have been asked by Gov
ernor Dorsey against the pair and al
so against Williams three younger
sons in connection with the other
eight deaths will not deter inquiry
into peonage charges, according to
United States District Attorney Alex
ander. Ten negroes in all were sought
by federal agents, who went secretly
70 the plantation, but they said later
five of them left ard Indicated The
search would De continued
Many negroes have fled to Atlanta
and other places since the revelations
attributed to Manning, Mr. Alexan-
der said
The peonage charges are to be
placed before the next federal grand
jury and meanwhile Williams is due
to go on trial at Covington next Tues
day on murder charges.
Gov. Dorsey has suggested that he
be tried separately on each indict-
ment, the trials continuing while ex-
pected appeals are being fought out
in higher courts. The possibility of
lenient treatment in the case of Mann
ing was indicated by Solicitor General
Brand. at Covington, who pointed out
that under Georgia law person
forced by fear of death to commit an
offense is not held guilty.

Black Eye for Monarchy

Vienna, March 31.-Republicans in
this city exultantly declare that the
visit of former Emperor Charles to
Budapest and the fiasco surrounding
his attempt to regain power has
dashed whatever chance that has ex-
listed for the restoration of the mon
archy, either in Hungary or Austria,
Monarchists reluctantly admit that
restoration seems impossible. This
is not only due to the disappointment
which naturally follows failure, but
as the details leak out there is a touch
of the absurd attaching to the whole
adventure which has reacted sharply
against the former emperor. 1t has
also depressed the legitimists, who,
while not desiring Charles to return,
hoped for the future restoration of
the Hapsburgs in the person of his
son. The dramatic declaration of
Charles to his friends Ahere Friday
that he would never leave Hungary
alive, was repeated in Budapest when
Admiral Horthy. the regent of Hun
gary, demonstrated against his pres
ence in that country, yet Premier Tel
eky found him few hours later fee
ing toward the border and taking
refuge in the palace of Bishop Mikes
in Steinamanger, later praying that
he be given shelter.
