SPEECH
At BLUE SPRINGS
AROUsES SENATOR
Nix Declares Governor IS
Common Liar" = Hard
wick Says He Is ''Sorry if
the Cap Fits"

Governor Hardwick was bitterly
assailed in the senate Thursday for
his speech at Blue Springs We'd
nesday in which he was quoted as
attacking the intelligence and char
acter of persons proposing to repeal
the tax equalization law without Of
fering some adequate measure to
supplant it.
Senator Nix, rising to a point of
personal privilege, declared he in
terpreted the governors remarks
as direct slap at his integrity.
From the newspapers of Wednesday
he read the following quoted state
ment from the governors speech:
"Demagogues and destructive
statesmen might stand for such a
program of repeal, but no person of
character and intelligence could pos
sibly do so.''
Senator Nix arraigned the COVER
nor as a common liar" and con-
cluded his denunciation with the
prediction that the people Of Geor-
gia would snow him under in the
Forthcoming primary.
Governors Reply
Senators Johns and Bond also
scored the governor speech and
predicted his defeat at the polls
this fall. Senator John H. Jones,
an opponent of the repeal bill,
which was lost in the senate a week
ago, declared the construction
placed by Senator Nix and his
colleagues on the governors speech
was incorrect. Senator Jones, said
the governor, was dealing with the
tax question as a general PROPOSE.
ton, and expressed the belief that
there was no intention to attack
the character of any member of the
senate.
Governor Hardwick, in a brief
statement issued shortly before tie
senate adjourned, declared he was
not aiming at members of the
legislature, but Eat bigger fish, in
his Blue Springs speech. He add.
ed. however, that if "the can fits
any of the members of the sen.
ate, they can wear it."
Senator Snow, during the debate
rose to declare the inference that
ne accepted dictation from the gov
ernor in the recent fight for repeal
was erroneous. Senator Holmes
took similar view.
Senator Golucke, who voted for
repeal of the equalization law, de-
clared he did not construe the gov.
ernor's speech as slap at his char-
acter
Senator Thomas told the senate he
did not believe the governor had
been quoted correctly in the news.
papers. He said he did not believe
any press report on any subject for
the reason that he had no conf.
dence in newspapers or newspaper
reporters.
Defends Newspapers
Senator Jones then produced a

| him from Quitman Wednesday
night, which he declared was a copy
of the governors speech, prepared

15-YEAR-OLD GIRL
SAYS SHE SLEW MAN

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July I'll
Indications today were that Mildred
Brewer, fifteen-year-old girl, alleged
self-confessed slayer of Alexander
Ports McKeithen, thirty-six and
married, in a lonely grove on the
Haynesville road, seven miles from
here yesterday afternoon, would be
tried in Juvenile court.
The body Of McKeithen was found
after the girl had been brought back
to the city from the grove, where
she said she met the man, with a
single bullet wound in his head. A
pistol was found near the body.
claimed to be the property Of Nc
Keithen, with one cartridge dis
charged.
The girl, when she appeared at po-
lice headquarters, where she was ac'
companied by an officer who had
started to the scene Of the shoot
ing and met her on the way to the
city to give herself up, turned in a
pistol of large caliber. said to be
her own.
Police officials declare the girl adj
mitted killing McKeithen after he
had been driven to the lonely thick
ct by the roadside by a negro en-
ployed by him. McKeithen was en-
gagged at the union station here as
a bagga gemaster.
The motive of the alleged killing
by the girl has not been established.
A firm Of lawyers was employed this
morning to fight for the life of the
girl, and it was the claim OF her
counsel that the court established
by state law for the protection OF
child life would have final jurisdic-
ton in the premises. No date has
been set for an examination or the
girl by Judge Lee Holloway, OF the
juvenile court.
Mildred Brewer" is theFname the
young prisoner gave the police here
when she surrendered herself after
the killing. Her father. however,
was Ware Brown. authorities an
nounced, and her mother is now
married to Frank Richardson, after
being divorced from Brown. The
mother resides about two miles from
the scene of the killing. The girl
is a cousin Of tn dead mans Wlfe,
and had spent much of her life In
their home, police learned. She is
a granddaughter of the late Colonel
Willis Brewer, noted in Alabama
politics and literary works, and
family long prominent in affairs OF
the state.
The girls mother, Mrs. Miriam
Brewer Brown Richardson, studied
law and was admitted to the bar
some years ago, and is prominent
in club and civic work in her home
city.
Coroner Diffly is working on the
theory that letters Miss Brewer
turned over to Miss Mcmillan, pro-
baton officer, had some bearing on
the killing. The letters. said to have
been written by McKeithan to the
girl, who is his, wife's cousin, were
described as eoo horrible for
young girl to read"
Henry Payne, negro chauffeur for
McKeithan, told the police he drove
the baggage agent to the lonely spot
where his body was found about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. He
"arked the car to wait for Nc

him and they strolled off towards
clump of woods. The negro said
he went to sleep and soon after

that a short time later she came to
