Colonel Rucker cross examined the wit. ness. "Didn't the mule tll down with you at Carters quarter No sir. "Didn't you tell Dr. Stafford that you were injured at Carters quarter No sir.

Colonel Rucker asked the defendant If his property In Murray county was not eDld to pay his taxes for carrying on th liquur business. The defendant replied that he had never been in the liquor business lint it true that you left the state for retailing liquor' That was eight or ten years ago. insisted Colonel Glenn and is not pertinent to this Issue. The sustained the point made by Colonel Glenn. The defendant was then requested to come down.

He arrested John Quarles. Sr. last November. He was not at home on his first trip but he arrested his son. Corning back his wife stated that he was not at home.

The deputy. however heard him talking In the house and made the arrest. The statement of his wife was excluded from the testimony. MORMSG SESSIO Colonel Glenn Make a Strong At tack on the Fee System. Marshal Dunlap was to the stand by Colonel Glenn for the purpose of completing the examination.

The marshal testified that all his deputies were appointed by himself. He gave them commissions subject to revocation. He would not care to hold the office of marshal without this privilege. The tees of the marshal were regulated by law. but the fees of the deputy marshals were fixed by agreement.

The district attorney objected to questions of this character. Colonel Glenn In misted that a deputy marshal wag not. In the sense of the statute an officer of the United States he was appointed by the marshal and for' that reason he was the marshals employe arid not an officer of the United States who was charged with the reception of Information concerning the violation of the revenue statutes. Colonel Glenn made the point that Deputy Marshal W. J.

Duncan was not an officer of the government. who could receive information and for this reason the federal court had no jurisdiction UI prosecute the men who conspired against Worley for giving Information to Duncan. I contend. may It please your honor. that it the defendants on trial are guilty they must be convicted according to law.

Colonel Glenn. said Judge Newman. it you mean to Inter that these defendants are not likely to receive their legal rights In this cue you make a serious charge. I shell tee to It that none of their legal rights are denied I beg your honors pardon said Colonel Glenn promptly. I did trot mean to say that the court would not give these defendants their full legal rights.

I merely wish to bring to your honors attention every legal right to which my clients are entitled. Merely a- Fungus Growth. Judge Newman differed with Colonel Glenn on the proposition that a. deputy marshal was not an officer of the United States and cited him to the statute pro- riding for the continuation of the deputy marshal In office la the event of the marshal's death. On that point may It please the court I wish to be heard.

I shall read from the decisions of the supreme court and these decisions I hold are as good as the statutes. I doubt that. Colonel Glenn but I am willing to hear from you. 1 contend. your hozr that the appointment of these deputy marshals la a tongue growth resulting front an outrageous fee system.

These men are employed as spies to search private homes and drag persons to justice an for the purpose or Increasing the. fees of the marshal end not tar the purposeof magnifying the revenues of the government. Had Worley a constitutional right go usurpiur officer and had no tight to appoint jnen vaL The officers appointed by themar aha ore subject to removal only by th Judge of the district or circuit courts their terms of office and compensation should be fixed and certain. In this sense and by virtue of complying with this pro vision of the law a deputy marshal might be considered an officer of the United States. Deputy Marshal Duncan however.

whose commission had been revoked by the marshal himself and whose' appoint. merit had never been' sanctioned by the court was not legally an officer of the United States and Ills commission could not be ut in. evidence as competent testi- mony. Listen to This Your Honor. At this point Colonel Glenn suspected that.

the court was not giving hint good attention. May it please your honor. said Colonel Glenn- this Is a critical point just here apd I should like to have your undivided attention. Colonel Glenn said the court smiling I have patiently listened to every word you have said and It you care to have me do so I can repeat It to you. Thereupon Judge Newman repeated at length the exact language of the counsel.

I see. ytour honor Is right. said Colonel Glenn. that Is exactly what I said. Merely a Contractor.

Colonel Glenn resumed his argument. This man Duncan said he is merely a contractor. He is not a deputy marshal and has never been In the legal sense of the word. In order to qualify as a. deputy marshal he must take the oath required by law before the district Judge and the district judge must certify to the appointment.

The only exception to. this procedure is the case where the newly appointed officer resides more than twenty miles from the presiding Judge. What Is your honor going to do In such a case as this The United States hat no dealings with such contractors as Deputy Marshal Duncan. On this ground I move that Duncan's commission. be excluded.

Judge Newa' Decision. Judge Newman In response to the argument of Colonel Glenn ruled that the deputy marshal in a broad interpretation of the statute was an officer of the Unlteu States. Duncan at the time he received the Information of stills reported by Worley was an acting deputy United States marshal and for that reason an officer of the United States. In regard to admitting the deputy marshals commission without the proper certification. Judge Newman held that in going before Commissioner Hamilton and taking the oath Deputy Marshal Duncan had substantially complied with the law and his subsequent acts in pursuance of his appointment were legal and nlfirlal.

Tufirc wman ruled that ex- Deputy Marshal Duncan's commission was good evidence and it was therefore admitted. Questioned by the district attorney Marshal Dunlap who was still on the witness stand replied that Duncan at the time of his appointment was a hundred miles from the city and it was necessary for hints to take the oath before Commissioner Hamilton. Den iemphitl Gets Mixed 1 1 Old mart Bert Hemphlll a witness for the prosecution arid the law of Butler was recalled by Colonel Glenn. who wished to lay the foundation fur impeaching nun. He asked the old man if his testimony on the witness stand the day before was the truth.

lie replied that it was. Tom Ramsey and several others were present at the time of his conversation with his law. Butler stated In that con- versatwn that he was not on hand at the time the rope was tied. having let be- cause the men in the crowd were. drunk.

The witness added a little bit to the conversation on the stand the day before thinking it might benefit his taw. The witness had discussed the matter with Dr. Stafford and Dr. Stafford had given hini to understand that if he failed to tell th truth it would go hard with him. Colonel Glenn wanted ro know if he had not testified on the preceding day that Butler was at the hanging.

He replisl that he lid. but at the time the guns were fire he was a half mile way. The Table. Turned. Colonel James read from-a paper a state- ment that Mr.

Hernphill had made to him In the district attorneys office and askeii him if it was not true. He replied that it was not altogether true. Colonel James then asked him to state again exactly what Butler had said to him in the conversation This the witness did. The testimony differed from the statement and the district attorney asked him if he had sworn to the contents of the statement before the grand jury. He did.

The district attorney then wanted to know what part of the statement was false. The witness replied that it was false where it stated that Butler was at the hanging. The witness turned out to tie a bad one for the prosecution having altered his testimony to make it appear that his son-in- law was riot at the hanging. Colonel James on the Stead. Colonel James took the stand.

He explained that It was a hard matter to set witnesses to tell anything. Redd and Morrison had given him a list of whitecaps and from it he had read to Mr. Hemphlll. The witness's name the list. The witness declared that he was a member of an organization headed by Dr.

Stafford to put down the kuklux and not a member of the kuklux itself. No threat was made against Mr. Hernphill and the statement he made was voluntary. The same statement was subsequently made before the grand jury. and he had no Intimation that the witness was going to change his mind until last Monday.

At that time the wit- ness stated that he had seen his son-in-law and hrs son-in-law had convinced him that his statement was not. correct. Row Long He You Practiced Colonel Ol nn wanted to know how long the district attorney had practiced law. Since 1875. Did any cursing take place In the officer' asked Colonel Glenn.

anybody cursed said Colonel James It was Mr. Hernphilt" Did you not try to Intimidate the witness Into testifying for the government" I did not and I will give you to understand Colonel Glenn that I do nothing In the discharge of my duty as district attorney that is not legitimate and just" I did not want to Imply that you did Colonel James but want to get at the truth. Colonel Glenn argued that Mr. Heusphill was under the fear of Dr. Stafford and the surroundings of the district attorneys office were calculated to produce a falsehood.

Mr. Bell Introduced. Mr. George I. Bell was put on the stand and corroborated the statement of the die.

trict attorney. James made no effort to Intimidate the witness. Colonel Tinny Backer' Version Colonel Rucker was next sworn. He sail that Mr. James and Mr.

Hesriphill. were differing In regard to the tatters state. risent and he suggested that Mr. Hemphlll state In his own language what he pected to swear. This he did ant It was substantially what he had Sworn on the witness stand for tT prosecution.

This ended the little episode. Now go on for the defendant gentle. men said Judge Newman. Defense Outlined. In outlining the plan of the defense Colo nel Glenn stated to the Jury that thftjegal guilt of.

the defendants did not consist in their being members of the kukluz -organization nor in The tact that- they carried Worley' irto the' ene the hanging. but whether or fcol they. conspired to hang for the reasons specified ftTtheJdecla the vjctlmot a sys. government of ts.

lie died therefore. the victim of his own system. He' commended the polsoived chalice to his own lips He was no martyr to-the law or to a righteous mans sense of duty. Further the counsel for the defendants stated that expected to show that Won. ley was a.

brute a man his own wife and mother had turned against. It was merely to fan the flames that It was charged against Win that he was reporting stills. This however. was not the chief cause of the conspiracy. The defense expected to show that neither Quarles nor Butler was at the hanging also that old man Hemphlll never had a.

conversation with his son-in-law at. his house and that ho was Intimidated into testifying by Dr. E. O. Stafford.

The teen. before the jury was solely as to the defendants on trial. Knox Ramsey's Son. Thomas Ramsey was the first witness In troduced for the. defense.

He remembered the fact of Henry Worleys hanging. The witness went over to Butlers house on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Hemphlll Quarles and several others were at the house. Witness heard no conversation between Mr.

Hemphill and Mr. Butler. Nothing was said about the hanging of Henry Worley. The witness never heard or the hanging until Monday at o'clock. The witness heard everything that was said' There were only two rooms in the house and the men were all in the same room.

The- witness knew Worley. It wal rumored that he. was brutal to Ills wife and boy. Kin to One of the Gang. examined by the district attorney the witness declared that he was not at the hanging.

Thewitness was a brother of Jim Ramsey. Jim had fled the country. The witness was a son of Knox Kamsey. He had not been active In getting up the defense. His cousin Jim.

had been Indicted for the hanging of Worley. The witness was not related to Quarles or Butler. He and Hemphlll went to. Butlers about I o'clock In the afternoon. Nothing was said about the hanging of Worley.

Colonel William Arthu paymaster of the United States army with headquarters hi Atlanta yesterday e. a promotion 4n' the service carrying with- It an Increase of honors. It was a fondness for Atlanta the peo- pie he has met since coming ere and the prospects the city offers for a Items for him that Induced the colonel to decline the promotion Iri the service he has given the best and most active years of his life. Colonel Arthur la a.

brotherof thelate President Chester A Arthur who. camo into the chair by the death of President Garfield and like the president is one of the most magnetic pleasant and affable gentlemen la the army. Every one who comes in. contact with him Is Impressed with his pleasant sociable ways wq-w th- COLONEL WILLIAM ARTHUR. out any exception every.

stranger quickly becomes' attached to him. Two months ago Colonel Arthur came to Atlanta from St. Paul where he had been In the paymaster's department for a long- time. He came here to succeed Colonel Ecnols who had been in that department of the service for years so many years in fact that he was retired by the government with nothing to do hereafter except to draw his pay. Colonel Arthur has an interesting military history.

He had an honorable Connection with the volunteer service beginning as second lieutenant Fourth New York in January 20 1862. He became cap- tun January I. 1363 major lecmber 23 lv 3 battalion lieutenant roiond March 13 1265. He began his career as second lieu- tenant Third artillery on February 26 t6 first lieutenant Third artillery July 2 1866 major and paymaster July 26 llF5 until the present. The new paymaster Colonel Heholss suc cessor is not a noiice In military service neither is he one of the rod taps' officers who secure preferment through name sail influence.

He was a soldier during hiss late war and one cf the best that the north emit out. It so happens that thcvery department he commanded during war A- the ltourth New lorn xrubery end at- wards Third artillery. the detachment of troops that left Atlanta only a few months ago. The war-scarred veterans of that artillery crowd are devoted to the colonel. As an evidence of his worth as a soldier and as an evidence that.

the' confederate veteran who meets him will ad. mire tm is an ugly scar on his fact made by a southern soldiers bullet a gear which shows that he not only knew hia duty but that he was ready to do It anti never afraid of the consequences. Colonel Arthur is well advanced In years but yet one of the most active men in the service anti would march to the field quickly tomorrow It the drums should beat for the call of troops. The new pay. master general of the United States army Stanton was an old comrade of Colonel Arthur during the war and when he was made paymaster general he picked out one of the plums which he offered Colonel Arthur.

But the two months the colonel has spent In Atlanta has Induced him' to think that the Gate City Of the South U. one of the best towns In the country and that the south is one of the best sec tions or the union. This with the pleas- ant associations he has formed since coming to Atlanta has Induced him to decline the flattering' offer which. has been made him by the government he has served so long and faithfully. Mrs.

Arthur Is one or the most charming ladies at Fort McPherson and has rapidly became popular since going there. She Is of a famous family. and Is the niece of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Every one In Atlanta Is delighted that Colonel Arthur de dined the offer of promotion. Not one In twenty are free from some little ailment caused by Inaction of the liver.
