NOT GUILTY, VERDICT
IN ELECTION CASES
(Continued From Page Five)
Chadwick and of i the arrangement
made to distribute the cards.
Mr. Hartsfleld Crarudall knew nothing
about any money having been paid
anybody. He had received nothing, he
said, but declared he "had been promis
ed something by Mr. King, which he
never received. j
The State rested and the defense)
moved for a non-suit on the ground
that no case had been made out. Judge j
Peebles granted the motion. Solicitor
Lyon stated that he would take a nol
pros; in the cases against Mayor Moore,
alleged in the ball of ' particulars to
have given $25 to- Rev. Isaac King and
I. J. King; Councilman L.? M. Bunting,
alleged to have given Rev. Isaac King
$10, and Councilman W. J. Bradshaw,
alleged to have given Rev. Isaac King
$3. The Solicitor stated that he would
ask for' a trial in" the case against
Councilman Jones "and in the other
case against MrSr Cradwick, as they
were of a different nature. Court took
a recess at noon until 2:30 o'clock. ;
Failure to Report Alleged.
The first case called in the afternoon
was that against Councilman W. F.
Jones, who was alleged to have unlaw
fully and "wilfully paid Rev. Isaac
King $10 which amount he failed to
report according to law.
"I received- $10 from Mr. Jones to
distribute his cards in the Fifth ward,"
Mr. King- testified. The State then
submitted Mr. Jones sworn statement
of his expenses in the election which
did not include the $10 alleged to have
been paid Mr. King. Capt. Thos. D.
Meares, city clerk and treasurer, was
put on the stand to identify the docu
ment. The State rested and the defense
moved for a non-suit -on the ground
that the indictment alleged that the
money had been spent unlawfully and
wilfully while the evidence by the
State did not show that there had been
anything unlawful about it. Judge
Peebles overruled the motion, stating
that the question at issue was that of
failure to have made report of the ex
pense, as required by law. "
Councilman Jones then took the
stand in his own- behalf and stated that
In making out his expense account he
followed his check book and that in
this way he overlooked the item of $10.
According to his recollection he had
paid $10 in money to Mr. King's son
for the use of his horse and buggy.
He had paid out no' other money. The
law allowed him to spend $200 andUun
der the city charter he could have
spent $300 for election expenses and
he could not have had any ulterior mo
live, he declared, in not making a re
port of $10 as his report of expenses
showed $15.50.
Acquitted by Jury.
In charging the jury, Judge Peebles
pointed out that the law is very spe
cific in making it a misdemeanor not
to make a report of election expenses
and that failure to, do so in the case of
legitimate expenses was just as much a
violation as in the other instance.
However, if the ' jury was convinced
from the testimony that Mr. Jones had
simply overlooked making a report of
the item "and that he had not done so
with any idea of concealing it, it would
be proper for them to return a verdict
of not guilty. -
After hearing the allegation in the
second case against former Council
man D. N. Chadwick which alleged
that the defendant did- unlawfully and
wilfully offer money or other things
of value to one James M. Hall, a can
didate for councilman in the city of
Wilmington, for the purpose of influ
encing the said James M. Hall to with
draw as a candidate. Judge Peebles
directed - that a verdict of not guilty
be entered as there was nothing in
violation of the law alleged, he said.
The jury was out but a short time
in the case against councilman Jones
Mr. C W. Polvogt as foreman stated
that their verdict was not guuty.
