Frank Prince and Claude Shill,
paying tellers of the First National
bank and the American Trust and
Savings bank, testified to George
Moore's having cashed checks made
out to Easley and claimed that he
was the payee.
M. Eisman of the n. L. Pierce
Detective agency, told of Shadow
ing" Easley three mornings and one
afternoon during the hours he was
supposed to have worked and said he
had not seen him at work. He de-
clared that he merely walked around
in alleys and that he went so fast
that it was necessary almost to run
in order to follow him.
He declared that he once called
the Florence hotel and told Easley' =
wife that he wanted to speak to him.
He said he mumbled the name
George" to Easley, and that Easley
told him he was being watched, but
was being kept posted, and asked
what he should do. Eisman said
he told him to go out" and Easley
then said. according to Eisman. that
he would "go out at $3.50 in the
morning, as usual
II. L. Cage of the Florence Hotel

a person named Harry Moore was
employed by him during a portion
of October, at the time that Easley
was supposed to have been working
for the city. He said he paid him
more than $50 and that ne dismissed
him on October 2s.
George C. Moore was then ques-
toned. He maintained that Eas-
ley was legitimately employed by
him, but added that the man had
msrepresented his name and his ad-
dress. He said he thought he lived
In East Lake, instead of the Flor
ence hotel.
Four members of the street de-
partment were Questioned. and they
all said that they had been told that
a man was to be employed for the
purpose for which Easley was said
to have been put on the force None
him working. Upon pressing ques-
tioning by President McLendon they
each admitted that almost every tile
they had seen Easley in the alleys
he was dressed up" wearing a
checked suit and tan Shoes"
c. G. McMullen said he had seen
Easiey in the alleys on his morning
milk rounds and understood he was
working for the city. He said he
knew him under the name of Harry
Moore, and had met him at the Flor

F in WHILE HERE

They are having mighty jolly
times at the jefferson theatre this
week where John Golden is present
ing The First Year" an exceeding
'ly clever comedy of married life writ
ten by Frank Craven and which had
run OF two years and came nearly
lingering for another in New York,
where 1t was received by the press
and public as one of the best laugh
plays seen in many years In fact,
several OF the leading critics pro-
claimed it as the best comedy ever
written by an American author. One
has only to hear the incessant laugh
ter during the performance of 1.-THE
First Year in order to be convinced
that it hits the right spot to set the
merriment in whirl of excitement.
1t surely is a great laughing sue
cess and incidentally reveals a plot
that is entirely human and absolutely
absorbing.

Before we start l would like to
make a remark or two he said
when these so-called irregularities

to Mr.. McLendon that if, George

farose. There was silence throughout
fthe room as Commissioner Harrison,
sin measured words, narrowed the
Tissue down to whether the city gov
@ernment would sanction or disap-
Nprove certain Irregularities in George
SAI6ore's pay rolls that were admitted
@by the defense. He declared that he
would have preferred the matter to
Shave been settled differently, but
Ethat since the president of the COM
Emission had put the issue straight
s1rom the shoulder by presenting the
sTesolution for Moore's dismissal it
mas the duty of the commission to
face and weigh the charges and act
upon them without delay.
Harrison's Vote Decisive
Commissioner Harrison, whose vote
was the deciding factor. since it was
understood that Commissioner Cloe
7 would stand with McLendon. declared
that while, as Commissioner Dickson
Z claimed. there was not conclusive evi :.
dence of criminal intent on the part
of George Moore, there was ample
evidence and even admission of ir
Irregularities which the commission
could not afford to condone. He said
<he did not see how he could do other
than vote for the presidents resolu-
ton.
Mrs. Mary Echols had spoken just
before Commis sioner Harrison, and
declared that she would vote against
the resolution. She said that there
were evidences of indiscretions on tho
part of George Moore, Commissioner
Dickson and the entire commission,
but that there did not appear to be
evidence of dishonesty on the part of
Moore.
ID. Fourteen witnesses were examined
by the commission in the afternoon,
eight presented by the prosecution
and six by the defense Moore was
also placed on TIE stand and interro-
gated. President McLendon and Com
missioner Dickson conducted most Of
the investigation, although other
commissioners interposed occasional
Inquiries. Commissioner Harrison,
who had been absent during the COM
mission conferences on the charges,
questioned almost all the witnesses
on few points.

THE WOMANPOWER OF AMERICA

is well illustrated by the thousands
of women who are entering every
profession. almost every line of bust
ness and politics as we'll. They are
bound to make good, and there is no
question but what health is their
greatest asset. Many women, how
ever, develop weak nervous condi-
lions and cannot stand the strain of a
professional or business life. Such
women should remember when beset
with headaches, backache. nervous
ness, irritability or any ailmenr pecu-
liar to their sex that the greatest of
all remedies for such conditions is
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. For nearly fifty years this
old fashioned root and herb medicine
has been restoring the women of
America to health and strength. 1t
holds the remarkable record of help

try it.-(Adv.)
