on authority. l only ask you to con- slider the reasons for my conclusions. I think that is the spirit in which we all should meet"
 Reaction Is Feared
 Bryan's sudden act in entering a. plea for McAdoo was obviously a surprise to supporters of the Californian and there were some expressions of concern aft erward as to whether the hostile at- mosphere created might not react un- favorably to- McAdoo's candidacy.
 Declaring the democratic party had an available presidential candidate in every state, Bryan said he wished to enumerate several whom he considered acceptable.
 We have a man in Florida" Bryan began. (BOOes and cries of, We want Smith," His name is A. A. Mur- phree." -
 From the gallery:
 Never heard of him. We want Smith,"
 Bryan resumed If there are those in the hall who. have not familiarized themselves with the great men of our country they should at least be silent until they are informed" Cheers and hisses).
 This man, Murphree, lives way down in Florida and if any of you think Florida is too small to have a president I want you to know it is bigger than Vermont and is better known than Vermont He would fill the office with credit to himself and to the nation.
 Daniels Is Mentioned :"

 My third is another southern man, Joseph Robinson of Arkansas. He is leader of the minority in the Senate a splendid leader, and measures up to every requirement of the presidency There are three men in the south.

CLOE'S PROTEST
 BRINGS RESPONSE
Kilby Officials Deny Re- sponsibility For Leh-.
 mans Freedom

Police Commissioner w. B. Cloe's protest against the unrestricted free dom" given William l.. Lehman, for mer city hall clerk, while he was in this city last week to testify before the grand jury in connection with the re- cent city shortage, brought reply Wednesday from John s. Harris, war den at Kilby prison.
 Prison authorities are not responsi- ble for the freedom accorded Lehman" the warden wrote Cloe. He was trans ferred in regular order from Kilby prison by State Transfer Agent D.. o. Austin, and by him delivered into cus- tody of the Jefferson county authorities as is provided by law in such cases.
 What latitude the authorities of Jefferson county accorded Lehman while in Birmingham does not concern me in the least.
 "FOr your further information, wish to state that Lehman returned to Kilby prison voluntarily after being dismissed as witness. We were not notified of his release until he appeared to resume his sentence" F.
 T. J. Shirley, sheriff of Jefferson county, said he saw ''very little to. talk about, inasmuch as Lehman did not escape" He pointed out that his ad- ministration had been responsible for Lehman while in Birmingham and that the youth now is back in prison serving his sentence. ~
 Commissioner Cloe has announced his intention of protesting formally to Gov. ernor w. w. Brandon as soon as the latter returns from New York. He says Lehman was given the run of the city, allowed to ride around in a car and spend his nights at home, and that all this tended to set a bad precedent and lower respect for law enforcement.

Paul Woods, all white ma
killing, according to HollidaN
premeditated and not due ton
Ku Klux activities, none Of the ~
killed OF wounded being members On
that order, or masked at the time.
Holiday says that during Tues
day, afternoon Oscar Clark, Jr., an
employe of his lumber company,
neglected his work and caused the
breaking of a valuable piece Of ma
chinery. He resented being repri-
manded for this neglect, and when
Holiday went to his home at che
end Of the days work he was ac4
costed by Oscar Clark, Sr., who
threatened his life. Only the fact
that he drove away from the Clark
home prevented his being killed.
Holiday said last night.
Later in the night, he said, in
company with 4 number Of others,
he went to Clark's home with the
intention of arresting the negro and
bringing him to jail in Americas. As
soon as the white men, riding in
two automobiles reached Clark
house a negro woman left the place.
This woman, Holiday says, was TAX
en- by one of the white men and re-
CURED to return to the house. Bar
Der, DR.. Williams and Russell then
went to the back of the house and
entered the kitchen through VIM
dow and waited.
A demand at the front door by
Holiday that Oscar Clark come out
resulted in the negro breaking
through the front door with an axe,
one of Holidays companions there
narrowly escaping being struck BY
the blow. A few minutes after
wards negro girl inside the room
where Clark was opened the door
and the negro pushed his gun bar
rel throug narrow opening, firing
five shots in rapid succession.
These shots, wounding several Of
the white men resulted in some dis
order, and while the wounded were
being put into cars, another shot
was head. This shot, Holiday be-
lieves, was the shot that ended Bar
bers' life, it being his belief that
Barber was first shot down in the
house and later killed outright
when the negro left by the back
door. Barber was not missed from
among his companions until the last
shot was heard.
The body of Barber was found
Wednesday lying prone upon the
floor Of the deserted negro cabin
at a point some distance from the
window where he had entered, with
almost the entire top of his head
blown off. Oscar Clark and his son
both disappeared following the
shooting and had not been arrested
up to early tonight, though posses
I Of Crisp county officers are search

occurred in an effort to locate the
