doctor called. When the girl was
taken to the hospital she told exam

PROHIBITION AGENT
EXONERAT TED; CHIEF
WITNESS IS HELD

After a hearing Thursday after
sioner Joe Abbott, a warrant charg-
ing acceptance Of a bride, issueu
against c. c. Coyle, a federal pro
hbition agent and former secretary
of the state Republican central com
mittee, was dismissed and q war
rant charging perjury was sworn out
against John Henry Hardin, the prin-
cipal witness and a picturesque resi-
dent of Cherokee county, who is gen
orally Known to prohibition agents
as "the king of the moOnshiners."
Hardin was placed under arrest as
he left the courtroom and later was
released on $1,000 bond. He will be
given a hearing before Commissioner
Abbott on November Is.
Charges against Agent Coyle were
dismissed after Hardin, the only wit
ness to take the stand, testified that
he had given the prohibition agent
money, but had done so in an eff
fort to spur Agent Coyle to greater
activity in cleaning up illicit stills in
Cherokee county.
Il told Coyle," HARDIN said, that
! L wanted to see illicit stilling wiped
out in my county, and 1 told him
L would pay him premium on every
still he destroyed
At this stage, District Attorney
| Clint w. Hager told the court he was
unable to set at the facts in the case,
and asked the commissioner for au-
thority to cross-examine the witness
by asking leading questions. The
commissioner granted the request,
and the district attorney asked sew
eral leading questions.
The attorney then asserted: II be-
lieve the witness is lying, your hon
or" and followed that statement
with a motion that the warrant
against Agent Coyle be dismissed.
Commissioner Abbott, in dismiss
| ing the warrant, agreed with the
district attorney, stating: II think
| you are right, Mr.. Hager. [ think
| the witness is lying, and see no rea-
son why action should not be taken
against him."
! The hearing had been held in the
circuit court room, and Immediately
| deputy marshals took Hardin in Gus
| today and escorted him to the COM
! missioner's office, where George K.
Golding, special intelligence agent
! of the treasury, sWort out the war
rant charging perjury. Mr.. Golding
| several days ago SWore out the war
rant against Agent Coyle, who was
arrested at Marietta, his headquar-
| ters, shortly after he was alleged to
have accepted $40 from Hardin.
The warrant against Hardin speci-
fled that the testimony whica he
gave at the hearing did not tally with

In 1896 precincts, the Brunswick
bonds amendment got 1884 for ana
1880 against. The same precincts
gave the manufacturers tax exemp-
ton measure $500 votes for and
20,255 against. The tax collector re-
ceiIer consolidation amendment reg
istered $500 favorable ballots to
22,942.
