PRICE ONE CENT. fJEHISSOPEI All of the Witnesses Not Yet Called BURDENS IDE HEAVIER The'Grand'Jury'iBrings Bills Against Supervisors DEAD CONVICTS WERE CAUSE There Was No Trouble at Camp Un- til Gallagher and Crawford r Were Brought Out Other Raleigh- News. Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 12 The trial of J. M. Nipper and Jim J. Johnson Wake county, road guards chargec with assaulting convicts, will not bf concluded until Monday night or Tue: day, court adjoining tonight with a number of witnesses yet to be call ed and all the speeches of attorneys to be made. There were no unusua sensations in the case today the chie' f point the state bringing out bein? . that Radfrey Jeffrey, a Hebrew, wa: whipped on one occasion because hf would not" eatog meat He wa made to swallow six rations and aft er he got the taste , of swine vowec" he loved it, former Supervisor Nippej said. As If the burdens of the road au thorities were not heavy enough, thf grand jury today brought in true bill' against W. L. Wiggs", general road supervisor, and"S. L. Lee, a dis charged camp supervisor, charging them jointly with not providing prop er quarters for prisoners at camp No 3 and against Lee separately for cru elty to animals. This indictment was the result or a special report by a visiting committee' Of the grand Jury to the camp earlier in the week. Sentiment is about equally divider1 here between the road authorities anr the convicts. It is recognized that !' the guards have no power to correct prisoners, road work with convictf will be a failure and that the prison ers had as well be turned loose for al1 the good they will do. On the othei hand, many of the persons following the trial express indignation at thf stories the convicts glibly relate. The grand jury today also enquirer about the pay allowed convicts work ing out costs. The county allows 2? cents a day, claiming that the upkeep of the camps, the food for the pris oners and the expense of extra guard' make the county pay twice as mucr convict labor as it would have tc for free labor. The commission ers, however, said they would investi gate this matter. Judge C. M. Cooke who is presiding over the court, dis missed the grand jury until the Oc tober term with "God be with you til' we meet again." In his testimony today R. Nipper who recently was elected superin tendent of roads in Greene county stated that there had been no troublf at the camp until Dan Gallagher and Henry Crawford, two white men, har" been brought out. With their coming ensued a lot of trouble, including V conspiracy to seize Guard Holloway'F gun, shoot Guard Johnson and cause la general delivery. Mr. Nipper told (the same story as related by Mr tklphnson Friday as to the number of V'lows and prisoners struck, and the .V.,f nf ha tocHmnnv nnineirlprt with that of the other guard. He stated positively that the whipping given Han Gallagher on the morning of August 20. 1912. was in no wise re sponsible for his death late that aft ernoon. He said five or six blow? were administered on the rump and not on the back and that there were no scratches or bruises on the flanks On cross-examination Solicitor Norris asked if it were not a fact tha the guards frequently dip the leath er strop in water, lay it flat on the sandy floor and straighten it out by pulling it under their shoes in order to make the blows sting the more? Xfe denied part of this, admitting, wnvever. that the strop was some times dipped in water and placed un der foot for the purpose of straight ening it out. That was not done on the morning in question, he insisted The solicitor also questioned him about Radfrey Jeffrey, a Hebrew, who did not want to eat hog meat be cause of religious scruples. Mr. Nip per did not know that the prisonei had any religion and said he was told that Jeffrey was an Irishman. He fuspected that Jeffrey was a Hebrew, ieorey refused to eat for three days and the supervisor gave him a mod!- cntion of the London police treat- "ttit in the case of suffragettes and ,fiie prisoner, after eating six rations of pork, swore he loved it T. H. Walls, constable at Apex, told the court that he was a frequent visitor to thecamp and was aware of thel insubordination. He stayed at the carta p one night. Mr. Mpper advised i with him on the situation. Dozens of character witnesses, were put on by th.e defense and gave Messrs. Nipper and Johnson good characters. Henry Bledsoe, a guard who was used as a 3tate's witness, was also given a ?ood character. J. J. Holland, the Seaboard Aii Line section foreman, was allowed several days to get his business in shape before beginning his sentence of four months ' for shooting Van Stewart, a negro. A charter was issued today to the W. S. Terrell . Sons company, of Woodrow, the object being to deal in real estate. The authorized capi tal is $100,000 with $1,500 paid in by 8. W. Terrell and others. CROWDS INCREASING. Hotels in Mountain Section Still Fill ed With Guests. Asheville, N. C, Sept. 13.

He told uf he had been authorized by Governo Sulzer to see us about abandoning the impeachment. He said Gover nor Sulzer is willing to resign if you will let the impeachment proceedings drop. He is tired of it all. "When I told him it was beyond om power to drop the proceedings now he suggested that a man like Altor B. Parker be selected by both side? to compromise the matter. I inform ed him we had evidence against Gov ernor Sulzer which would warrant his removal and the matter would have to take its course. "To make sure of the authority op the emissary I asked if he had con sulted the governor and he replied. 'Yes, I have talked with the gover nor and it is from him that I have come to you.'". When Mr. Herrick at Albany heart! of this statement he telegraphed Mr Levy: "I ask you what the name of that nrominent lawyer is, Either you are stating a falsehood or you have beer imposed upon.
