wish you had stayed out Of this
mess. 1t reminds me of what the
Irishman said when he saw the bull
run headon into the train. II admire
your spunk but doubt your judg-
ment". You have run headon into
this Court. When called up you pro-
ceeded to give the Court a curt
lecture to his duties"
The Defendant states that she is
prejudiced by the consideration by
the Court of "a curt lecture as to
his duties" when no charge was
made in the information and such
charge was not before the Court.
The Defendant respectfully re-
quests that this Honorable Court
will sign the Bill of Exceptions so
that the entire record may be COM
plete.
Respectfully submitted,

1t is interesting to compare the
sale of whiskey and payments OF
black market tax in the various
counties.
In Yazoo county, where Judge
Gillespie scored lawlessness
there was 09,578.44 whiskey Tin
voiced at wholesale prices) to Yazoo
county ~bootleggers in the entire year
of 1916 with $13, 737. go black market
tax paid, according to the records
of Hon. Carl N. Craig's office in the
Capitol.
The records Of the Stute Tax Col
lector reveal thut a total. of
S4l0.s05.52 whiskeY Nv holssale
prices) wos invoicsd to Holmes
county deulers during the Yer ls4s
with $3s.s7l.2s block murket tax
octuoliY pdid.
For the first eight months of this
year, 1915, in Yazoo county, there
has been $8l ,058.27 Wholesale
prices) whiskey shipped in to Yazoo
bootleggers with $6,116.54 black
market tax paid.
In Holmes county for the first
eight months Of 1916 there has been
shipped In to our bootleggcrs
ulre1dy $l42.74s.ss with s42.2ss.s7
block murket tux being poid; oil Of
these totals show that more whiskey
hos been shipped into Holmes county
for the first eight months Of ls4s
and more block muket tax poid
than for the entire Yem Of ls45.
On the basis of the figures given
the bootlegging business in Holmes
county at retail levels runs around
three million dollars. For every case
which the bootlegger pays tax on
he probably gets two that he escapes
paying taxes on altogether.
At any rote bootlegging hos been
for some time. and remains the
biggest business in Holmes county.

Holmes County Editor Adjudged Guilty OF
Court Contempt By Judge s. F. Davis

ut reminds me of what the Irish
man said when he saw the bull run
headon into a train; I admire your
spunk but doubt your judgement"
"You have u headon into this
court. When called up you proceeded
to give the court a curt lecture as to
his duties"
Sympathetic. But
Stating it to be the opinion OF the
court that Miss Brannon was guilty
as charged, Judge Davis told her
that he sympathized with her.
But" he added, you brought it on
yourself"
Mr.. Watkins in presenting his
clients answer to the contempt
citation, enterad an apology for "any
action the court feels was con-
tempt"
In support of the statement, he
recalled Miss Brannon's three year
crusade for law enforcement to show
she had respect for the court and
law enforcement"
Basis of the contempt citation was
a statement made to Judge Davis by
w. H. Majors, Holmes County depu-
ty sheriff, that Miss Brannon was in
terrogating the witness despite hi9
caution that she (the witness) was
under the rule and instructed by
the court not to talk with anyone
about the case.
District Prosecuting Atty. How
ard Dyer Jr.., of Greenville handled
the case for the court. He did not
cross-examine Miss Brannon when
she was called to the witness stand
by her attorneys.
Deputy Sheriff Majors said he
was returning the witness to the
witness room and had stopped mo-
mentarily. He said next thing he
knew, Miss Brannon was talking
to her. That occurred out of the
courtroom and downstairs near the
sheriff's office which was used for
state witnesses, he said.
Didn't Know Situation
MI. Majors said he told the witt
ness to 60 into the sheriff's office
and that Miss Brannon asked why
she could not talk to her. He said
he informed her of the rule, and that
the editor countered that "she is not
under arrest, is a free woman, and
you, the sheriff or no one else can
keep me from talking to her."
Miss Brannon explained she was
not present when the trial opened.
and therefore not appraised Of the
witness being put under the rule.
She said she came in while the
woman was on the stand and left
shortly after she completed her
testimony to telephone her story
to The Commercial Appeal at Mem.
phis.
"She was alone as I walked down.
stairs, and / presumed she was on
her way home," Miss Brannon Said.
Il told the witness ! had to quote
her in the newspapers, and wanted
to check one or two statements"
I'VE had been talking one or two
minutes when Deputy Sheriff Ma.
bors passed by. / didn't know he
was acting in his official capacity
when he told the witness to get in
the sheriff's office. He never addres.
sed me, directly or indirectly, that
the court had ordered the witness
not to talk with anyone. I had no
knowledge of the rule"
In his argument, Mr.. Watkins
said, had the deputy sheriff not
turned his back on his sworn duty.
Miss Brannon could not have TALK
ed to the witness"
His duty was to escort the wom~
an to the witness room and he
wouldn't have walked away in the
face of a defiance of this court il
there had been a Defiance" Mr..
Watkins said.

HAZEL
EYES
by Haxsi Bronnon

~ Ak0%DA &&&AAA&98
should like to take this space
to express humbly my sincere APP
preciation for the many expressions
Of friendship, support and loyalty
which have come my way in the
past ten days.
The countless expressions made
personally, by telephone and by
letter have been overwhelming and
indeed gratifying. | want each Of you
to know that l shall forever be
grateful for your kindness and shall
strive to live up to the wonderful
expression of your confidence.
Judge Hugh b. Gillespie, Circuit
Judge of the district WHICH Includes
Yazoo county, made a strong charge
to the Yazoo County Grand Jury,
according to an account which APP
pears in the Yazoo City Herald last
week.
Judge Gillespie hit bootlegging
and gambling in Yazoo county and
told Grand Jurors he had been re-
ceiving many letters Of complaints
from citizens stating that bootleg
ging and gambling in the county
were rife and some letters even
broadly intimated that officers
sworn to uphold the law are being
paid off, to permit such things to
happen.
The distinguished jurist told the
Grand Jurors that while he could
not force them to bring in indict-
ments that there was nothing to pre-
vent him from holding the Grand
Jury in session until it had had
plenty Of time to make a thorough
investigation of conditions.
He warned them not to come in
Tuesday with their final report as he
would refuse to accept it until such
time as the members Of the grand
jury could make a certificate that
they had thoroughly investigated
vice conditions in Yazoo County and
had found no evidence which would
support indictments.
It was quite evident from Judge
Gillespie's manner that he meant
business in his charge concerning
gambling and violations of the
Liquor laws, as well as sworn off
icers of the law accepting money
to ignore such practices. He said
elected officers who were chosen by
the people to enforce the law and
who had taken oath to do so are ten
times worse than the gamblers and
b~ootleggers from whom they accept
money to fail to perform thair
sworn duty.
We heartily commend and applaud
Judge Gillespie for his manly stand
in the performance Of his duties and
responsibilities as Circuit Judge.
The influence Of a man in his posi-
ton Is tremendous. He can stand
for law and order, s~tricter enforce
ment of the laws, and his court will
be feared by law v~iolators and they
will watch their step in his district.
Exerting an influence thus the en-
tire section under his jurisdiction
benefits.
His court will be feared and re-
spected and law-enforcement in the
county and district will be en-
couraged.
We do not see how a man in his
position could be otherwise.

Judge Expresses FutiIity
Of Cleaning Up
Holmes County"
BY Kenneth Toler
Staff Correspondent Commercial
Appeal

Staff Correspondent Commercial
Appeal
Brushing aside an apology and ex-
pressing futility of cleaning up
Holmes County," Circuit Judge S.
F. Davis Monday held Miss Hazel
Brannon, attractive law enforcement
~crusading editor, guilty of contempt
of court for checking testimony
with a witness still under his juris-
diction.
He fined her $50. and sentenced
her to is days in Jail after splitting
the maximum sentence" but
suspended both for two years, pend
ing good behavior, SO if you run in
with the court again we won't have
to try you next time"
Questioned Negro Witness
Miss Brannon offered Judge Davis
a full and sincere apology" and
assurance she had no intention of
violating rules of his court or en-
~barassing it in the performance of
its duties. But the 72-year-old Jurist
waved it aside in ordering the case
tried on its merits.
The 32-year-old editor and publ
sher of two weekly newspapers in
Holmes County, through which she
had been ~crusading for three years
for stricter enforcement of the pro-
hibition and antigambling laws, was
cited by Judge Davis after she had
interrogated a negro woman wit
ness following her appearance in
court. Miss Brannon explained
she did not know the witness
was not supposed to talk with
anyone; that no one told her so, and
that she was merely checking some
of the testimony uttered in open
court for accuracy before reporting
it to the Commercial Appeal, for
which she is special correspondent.
She was covering the Leon McAtee
flogging case at the time.
In rejecting Miss Brannon's apol-
ogy and ordering the ease tried,
Judge Davis said she had shown
disrespect for the court "by cussing
it out" That charge, however, did
not appear in the contempt citation.
An appeal to the Supreme Court
was taken by Miss Brannon,s coun-
sci, Vaughan Watkins, jackson
attorney and president of the Miss
issippi Publishing Co., and Ben
Wilkes of Greenville.
Judges Remmk Scored
They also filed a bill of except
ions to the remarks made by Judge
Davis on passing sentence on Miss
Brannon .
Judge Davis told Miss Brannon he
realized she was putting on a great
campaign for law and order" but
reminded her that IF you read his
tory you will see that the only per-
feet being didn't make much of a
hit with His reforms"
He reformed a few and left this
advice: Before you clean up some
one else, clean up yourself" Judge
Davis said, adding, 80 few of us
pure are left"
Explaining he had been circuit
Judge for ~ years, Judge Davis said:
I've been around here a long time
and know the job it is to clean up
Holmes County. ! don't believe you
can do it. ! am of the opinion that
when Gabriel blows his horn and
rolls back the scroll of Heaven, he
will find the world like it is today.
am sorry that is the situation"
Informing Miss Brannon that he
derived no pleasure out of sentenc-
ing her, the judge expressed the
wish that you had stayed out Of
