(irii'rith Offers to Kesien if Council-j rm n DiiPre, Kiee and Asbill Will I)o the ^inie. I Xews and Courier. Columbia, Oct. 7.?After testifying on the stand this afternoon under oath that his reason for going to t:ie rest! icted district "on the night of September IS was to make an inspection . I and to see for himsell wnetner or not i intoxicants were sold there, and denying that he struck Grace McRay or that there was any disorder in the house of Lily Moore while he and his J party were present, Mayor L. A. Griffith offered to resign if Councilmen E. M. DuPre, M. M. Rice and C. M. Asbill would do the same. "Let us resign | and take this matter before the people | in another election," offered the mayor, j 'i.,e counciimen declined this propo-j sition, Lr. Rice saying he had a hard enough time getting elected and proposed holding his office. Messrs. Du Me anu asoui were wnimg iu j the recall if the citizens thought they j . . _ ..l. liiCll (Iu j O wt not say anything about resigning. mr The proposition made by the mayor to resign if the three members of council named would do so brought forth applause and cheers from some of the citizens who crowded the council chamber. When the taking of testimony was concluded Representative Alan Johnson, Jr., of counsel for Mayor Griffith. asked what action was going to be taken. Mr. D. W. Robinson of the citizens' committee, said any report would be made to the mass meeting ?t citizens, which appointed them .-wvtorney Johnstone asked if the com I mittee and council met to formulate a report that Mayor Griffith be given full and ample authority to go before them, and this Mr. Robinson p ramie ed to do. No Resolution Fassed. City council at 3:15 adjourned. No resolution of any kind was pas-sed by ??tyi *jnr? -nn finriintre urinrm UilU UV vvkt It was 1:30 this afternoon when Mayor L. A. Griffith went on the stand in the city council chamber before the city council and the citizens' committee to answer to charges of remitting of fines and of alleged disorderly conduct on the night of the 18th of September, which were made against him 1 before a mass meeting of citizens and which resulted in the investigation. The mayor told how when he went *!nto the cffico he four.3 no custom of keeping records of reasons for remit:rg fines, but some time later hej adopted the custom of writing his reasc::s down on the order for the remission of fines, keeping a copy and sending the original to the city treasurer, J. Fiavie Cooper. He stated that the I reni^.'en of' fines for two years under the former administration, Wade "-Tanipton Gibbes, amounted to about ! $50 per month, as against about $100 .:cr month curing the seventeen months he has occupied the office. He iga>.e two reasons why he remitted I fnes. or* because the fines were higher under Recorder 'Elchison than was the ?a?e under the old recorder, and because of the stringency of the times, pttention to several cases in which he had remitted fines where the l ecple were poor and oftentimes the An p rnnvirteri f.oulri hardlv 2et enough *cr his wife end children. "I have never remitted any fines for which J i'.i ::cl have good reasons," he stated. He explained his reasons for remitting tines imposed against women of the segregated district for vagrancy j when they were summoned as wit| nesses and didn't think the plan of I placing vagrancy charges against them when summoned as witnesses as fair as long as the segregated district is allowed Instructions to Police. He told of instructing the police to enforce the laws and not allow loafer? around the segregated district. Explaining his remitting of fines against persons convicted of selling whiskey he thought the citizens' committee had brought forward all the cases in which he had acted and had not remitted any except these few. As to gambling cases he stated that he only remitted fines in cases which he thought worthy. He said that he was opposed to gambling, never gambled himself, and under his instructions the police had practically run all of the gamblers out j of the city and had suppressed gam blintr in rod rooms, mo tnougnt vo- lumbia practically free of gamblers' new. He explained that he had tried, to force all the clubs under the locker 1 system, but after the passage of the gallon-a-month law, under resolutions j of city council, liquor was taken from j all the clubs and they are now dry. The mayor said he did not believe the recorder's court should be run as ?- *- - | a revenue producing Drancn 01 me 1 |government, but only fines enough to' enforce obedience of law should be imposed. He stated that he thought fines ought to be imposed graduated on :h<> ability of the person to pay. thus a man making $2,000 should be fined it i ixian a man making only $500. "RcmrocpntafivA .Tohnstnnp had c.on ducted the questioning up to this point and. -Mr. W. S. Nelson conducted the remainder of the direct examination of the mayor. Ke asked the official to tell why he went to the restricted disnct 011 the night of September 18. Did Not Attend Meeting. I I he mayor first explained that he did not attend the citizens' meeting because he did not know the character of the charges against him, and he had not up to this time made any statement hAfansp rherp wptp so mflnv >-ague rumors flying around- that it as impossible to answer all of them. He said he knew his innocence of all the charges and he had insisted on trial before the recorder and was eager and willing to give his answer befors -..j.v properly constituted tribunal. i Taking up the testimony the mayor said it had been told him that prac-! ucally the only United States revenue licenses for selling liquor in Columbia were held by residents of the segregated districts, and as he had said in instructions to the chief of police that he did not believe they had any right j cw icii iiquor when lawful ciubs were i nrrvhihit^rt anri ha was ripterminfvri to: ^iv-.w.vvu ?- ?^ ? ^ find out for himself whether or not they were violating the law. "I thought I was doing nothing to lower the dignity of the office of mayor j to make such a trip of inspection," he! said, explaining that while he thought it was proper for the mayor to make such an investigation it was not his duty to docket cases if he found any violations. The mayor said he invited several friends to go on this inspection trip! with him both as witnesses and for his ' own protection. They visited, he said, several houses and bought intoxicants for the purpose of seeing whether the law was being violated. Among the houses visited, he stated, was that of; Lily Moore at 1002 Gates street. He j had never been to the house before i and did not know who ran it, he' stated. Two Women 'Come In. Arriving at the house they were let in and went back into a room. Shortly afterwards, he said, two women came in and one of them was looking "queer." This one, he said, came in j his direction and he did not want her j near him and put up his hands. Sihe fell backwards into one man's arms, he said, after she had screamed and | was placed on the bed. He asked what was the matter, and one said, "Grace is having a fit." He said none of them knew at the time whether he was a doctor or that he was the mayor and he asked if they needed a physician. They =aid "no, Grace is subject to fits." He said Policeman Hinnant came into the house and on one of the women saying there was no trouble went oa out. The mayor said he and his party j left in a few minutes and continued cheir tour of inspection, visiting several other houses. One member of the party went home in a machine, and he o * ' ? s\ 11 r\ < V\ Q .n + TOnt dliU clUULaei liiCilU V/OLUC u y i]>.i vv? in a hack about midnight and went directly home, stated the mayor. The mayor, under question from Mr. Nelson, said he did not strike Grace McRay, and in fact did not at that know v;1ic zlc was. That he had r.ever said anything to Lily Moore l oout getting rid of her. He said there was not the slightest disorder, and \ hile he and his friends had taken & 3w drinks before leaving up-town to I egin the inspection none of them were intoxicated. Ho ^aid he thought such an inspection trip entirely proper, and if the mayor of New York would take one ihe newspapers would feature it. He said ie believed in strict rcgula ilon of tho serregatp.d district, but not .1 extermination. ybthin:; M Hinder. "I have done nothing to binder this j LivectruticD," said the mayor, adding that he courted the fullest publicity . nd "I fie I.g~t pccsible turned on the whole matter. As to his conversation v.ith Jamec; H. Hammond., attorney for the woman, fie mayor said he hn ! thrt 'Yr. L'ammond had been approached by the oman about bringing some kind of a .'amage suit against him and he had sein i^ctcCiive rviuier to Mr. Hammona and the latter had come to his office. There they had talked over the situation, and the mayor said he asked Mr. Hammond if he didn't, Delieve in his innocence. "I told him he couldn't look me in the eye and say he thought there was anything in the case," said ? J 4-V? ?-? + "!\/T r T-T n m - tn'' raa..or, ciiiq siciit;u uim mi, o.j.u.ua mond had made an evasive reply and said lie had nor come to his office to be insulted. The mayor said he told hi:;i ne would say it 011 the street to hi fare what he had said there and Mr. Hammond said he wouldn't. The mayor said he told Mr. Hammond if he was ^suited he ^ould leave his office, which he did. He said that he "was nervous at the time under the vague v?->rw.. ^v? - + wrro floiT * ^ ?* ' 2 thai he "lost *iis head somewhat." On consulting with friends who were present he said he realized that he haa spoken hastily and then wrote Mr. Hammond tae note of apology already referred to in previous testimony. Voted For Hammond. The mayor said he liked -Mr. Hammond and had voted for him. and when ?..:e .uurr accepted Lis apology an:; everything was friendly he had talked about employing Mr. Hammond, but without any idea of stopping any statement. He said he had never mentioned the Grace McRay statement to Hammond after that time in his office. The mayor said he had discharged Charles Davis, one of those who made i<> svit read at tne mass meeting, some time ago, because he did not attend properly to the automobile wagon,. he drove for the police department. _ plaining the special badge given to Joe Hauck, the mayor said when he came into office he found a great many special officers, such as pri-vate detectives, railroad detectives, and watchmen, of whom there was no recc.a. He appointed some, among others Joe Hauck, but Hauck drew no pay, was simply a private detective. Afterwards, he stated, that all these private commissions were withdrawn and now records are kept of all commissions. The mayor said when he came intooffide Columbia was practically an open town and drinks were sold over the bar. Today all clubs are closed and no liquor is sold, except through the dispensaries. Gamblers have been driven out and the regulation of the restricted district is stringent, he said. Tue session this afternoon marked the close of the formal investigation. As to whether another citizens' massmeeting will take place has not yet been determined. It would be no surprise to see petitions asking for a recall election circulated. rrEUTOSS INVADE SEKY1A; BLLitAniA Vt AK T ante Vnr flninb T)A4?lKj*ntinn hr llliftS. .
