Mayor Ri-fnses to Hold Men For
. Contempt For Refusing to Answer
v Qucntians- T!ie Republican County
- Convention 'Taxable Property In
creases in Value.
(Siie.iial to The, Times)
Durham, Sept." 4 The mayor's in
vestigation, wherein four of the city's
best-known men - were ' hauled up
three weeks a?o to give testimony as
to their source of whiskey supply, if
any : they had. came to a. head last
night wae:i thrae of the number,
Capt. J. C. Michie, A. E. Lloyd, and
W. B. Guthrie were examined again
by Mayor Graham and answered all
questions so candidly that they were
immediately dismissed.
Three weeks ago they were simi
larly situated and Mayor Graham
opened with a question something
like this: ''What do you know touch
ing the existence, establishment, and
whereabouts of places where intoxi
cating liquors are Bold contrary to
law in the city of Durham, and the
names and personal description of the
keepers thereof?" .
When that question was propound
ed, Mr.- V. S. Bryant, representing the
respondents, objected, and the matter
was taken up to the higher court for
Monday of this week. It was de
ferred until last night, when it was
removed from Judge Jones by the
agreement of counsel to answer the
first question, to' which objection had
been made earlier. On the examina
tion last night, Mr. Griswold being
absent, all three men were propound
ed the same question, but they an
swered in the negative. Two other
questions almost identical, were put
up and answered the same. The
fourth, "What do you know concern
ing the Illegal sale of intoxicating
liquors in the city of Durham during
the last two years?" To this there
was objection, and Attorneys Win
ston and Bryant argued it to a stand
still. They contended that the stat
ute does not contemplate a harking
back, that it gives no power to ques
tion men as to what may have ex
isted, but has reference entirely to
the present; that if there had been
ever so many illicit places in fprmer
existence, they would not necessarily
be a matter for the mayor now.
Judge Winston argued the case with
lntenseness. He declared that upon
the matter of inquisitions, the world
had gone daft, and that its' legiti
mate conclusion would be the per
emptory jerking up of men for all
offenses known, against the law, and
Now
that this would open a field for un
bounded strife and discord, He de
clared that there wag no right given
the mayor to cite men to examination
about matters in which there Is al
leged to be no accusation,. -the three
elements that enter into a complaint.
It made every man a grand juror, he
declared, and vowed his belief that
the mayor had no right to require
answers. Mayor Graham-took the
ground that his right was so much a
matter of doubt, that he felt it Im
proper to hold the men for contempt
for not answering. This was feared
a long time. ... There appeared some
likelihood of a sensational incident
when the respondents refused to an
swer, and the trial officers might im
pose a fine for contempt, but Mr.
Graham declared that the matter was
over, so far as he was concerned.
The republicans last night In ex
ecutive meeting of their committee,
set September 12 for their conven
tion and will then nominate a full
ticket. The county convention held
several weeks ago was for the pur
pose of sending delegates to the state
convention. The primaries were
held to elect delegates to the county
convention. ,
The tax-listers of this county have
almost completed their estimates of
the county's wealth and find, con
trary to a story printed two month's
ago, that the taxable property in this
year of the panic, has increased
three-quarters of a million. In ex
act figures, the amount is $21,849,814
and the increase is $770,364. The
advance estimates were based upon
the depreciation of property listad by
the American Tobacco Company,
which amounted to about a quarter
of a million.
The great bulk of property is
owned in the city, about one nilllion j trust.
and a half being outside Durham. Of
the total amount, the blacks own
nearly $600,000, and the entire
amounts show an interesting state
of affairs here.. It makes Durham
next to Charlotte In point of actual
wealth, and the county one of the
richest In the state. The tobacco
company seems to have suffered alone
and the depression extended no fur
ther than the great octopus. .
