C. C. C. Monday, February 25, 1935. TWELVE THE DECATUR REVIEW Morrison Wins Ballot Suit In Fayette County Defeats Brown By 13 Votes; 402 Illegal Ballots Cast Out in 20-Day Hearing.

Ey Staff Correspondent. VANDALIA- Morrison, Republican. was declared elected sheriff of Fayette county by a majority of 13 votes over R. W. Brown, Democrat.

by Judge Thomas M. Jett at the conclusion of the hearing of Brown's election contest in court Saturday. Morrison's original majority in the Nov. 6 election was 18. Many irregularities in the conduct of the election in various precincts were revealed during the hearing.

Judge Jett declared that the 402 illegal votes in the county was a ridiculous state of affairs. He charged that the improper conduct of the election was clearly the result of selection of incompetent supervisors who in turn selected incompetent persons to serve as election judges. "Gentlemen this has been a job and I tell you right now that you'll never get me in a place like this again if I can get out of it." the judge said. Took 20 Days. The hearing of the case has consumed 20 regular days of court and five night sessions.

At several times the court evidenced impatience with the slow procedure of the disposition of alleged illegal voters which were argued one at a time. In addition to the consideration of illegal voting, numerous other irregularities in connection with the election had to be ironed out. A total of 11.795 votes were cast for sheriff in the Nov. 6 election. The original count gave Brown 888 and Morrison 5,906.

The recount gave Brown 5,727 and Morrison 740. Of the 11.795 votes. 500 were alleged to be illegal because of persons voting in one precinct and living in anothor. The contestant charged 235 illegal Republican votes had been cast and the respordent claimed there were 265 illegal Democrat votes. 402 Votes Illegal.

The court ruled that 402 votes out of the 500 were illegal and 98 were legal. He declared 143 were illegal Democratic votes and 132 illegal Republican votes and that the proof of political affiliation had not been proved on 127. The 127 were deducted from the candidates in proportion to the number of votes received by each in the different precincts. Due to the carelessness of judges in 12 precincts in failing to initial the ballots 74 were thrown into the discard. Of this number 44 were for Brown and 30 for Morrison.

Had these ballots been initialed the count would have Brown a majority of one vote. the vote given, standing Brown 5,771 and Morrison 5.770. 240 Witnesses Testify. During the hearing 240 witnesses were examined, 176 by attorneys for the respondent and 64 by attorneys for the contestant. In Vandalia third precinct one-eighth of the votes cast Nov.

6 in the precinct were declared illegal. Attorneys for the respondent alleged that the contestant's vote and that of his wife were illegal. They charged that they voted Kaskaskia township and lived Vandalia in north. The court. however, held that their votes were legal because of Mr.

Brown's official position as 2. deputy sheriff which he has held continuously since 1921. The vote of C. J. Metzger, challenged by the Democrats as illegal was held legal.

Metzger, Republican precinct committeeman of Kaskaskia township. lives in Vandalia. The vote of John Luster. precinct committeeman from Vandalia third was held illegal. Luster is a resident of Otego township.

The vote of Kenneth was elected county superintendent of schools on the Democrat ticket declared illegal. Greer voted was, Shafter township lives in Bear Grove township.

TAYLORVILLE- -True co-operation and brotherly love is being demonstrated by Taylorville's public safety departments this week. Last Wednesday deputy sheriffs arrested a fire in the courthouse, so Saturday night Chief Troy Grant and the fire department put out a fight. Mrs.

MATTOON Granville Decker and Earl Redman of Mattoon were arrested Saturday morning for questioning in connection with a series of robberies last week. A third man wanted as a suspect is said to have left town when he learned he was wanted for questioning. Conflicting stories told by Decker and his wife as to Decker's movements on Tuesday night when two filling stations, a tavern and a bulk gasoline plant here were robbed, led police to believe Decker may have been implicated in the robberies.

Decker recently was released from prison where he had been serving a term for burglary and larceny. He is formerly of Charleston. Both Decker and Redman denied any knowledge of the robberies and at noon Saturday it appeared they. would be released unless further evidence is secured. Churches A.
