GRAFT OR WHAT?
Ktntucky Lawyer ObJ«cts¥ Call
ing Commissions Graft
STATE DISPENSARY
DttioiuM*d by Him, But He Confess'
es That His House Paid Commis-
slons to Hecure Business From It,
and to That Extent Helped to Make
' ft a Corrupt and Disgusting Insti
tution. *
' Attorney General Lyon has been
gin ii certain information as to
whrtn the commissions were paid,"
said Col. Anthony .1. Carroll of Louls-
Tltfe TueBday afternoon at the con
clusion of his statement to the die-
'v^pensary commission. The State says
he has showed the transactions
when "'appeared op the books altd
stared to the commission that the
* ’So *
^ ■ other informat
Lr ^
had been asked for
by the attorney general and had been
gtv^R 'tft him in conference with
Col Felder.* yN.
"Tiie attorney general has charge
of the ‘graft’ part of Jhe matter and
- j - we are probing into the manner of
the transact ions,” remarked Capt. C.
K. Henderson pleasantly. ,
This evoked a spirited rejoinder
fro: i Col. Carroll, the handsome son
of the Blue Grass State who has been
speaker of the house of .representa-
^JJyes over there and also mimaging
editor of Col.'Henry Watterson’s pa
per, the Louisville Courier-Journal.
“Not ‘graft,’ if you please, sir. The
Paul Jones company which I repre
sent will leave South Carolina with
a loss on every sale made here even
If yon should decide to pay my claim
with ail sorts of reductions. We will
quit net loser, even then, and your
proposition is that you refund the
commissions that we had to pay to
get this business. j-
“I repel with as good ‘grace as
possible the imputation that 'graft'
is a lit term to he applied to our
side of the' transactions with the
State dispensary. We have made
nothing out of the business, and the
‘graft' was on the part of the people
in South Carolina with whom we had
to deal. We pnld 'commlssioni,* but
no ‘graft.* This ‘graft’ in the dis
pensary was the inevitable resalt of
n system which I asure you we did
not wish to create, nor did we seek
to foster or to build It up.'’
The commission then went into ex
ecutive session. It wan not made
public what was the nature of the
Information which Col. Carroll tMid
given to Attorney General Lyon, ifGT
it must have been something worth
while, for Mr. Lyon came into the
meeting as Col. Carroll was conclud
Ing and made a statement to the
com mission In executive session.
THEY LYNCHED Mil
Mob Ovtrpowirt Militia and Di-
putlM and Hangs Negro.
This informaton was In
P? rt
in
V p™*
Col. Felder’s possession when Col
Carroll appeared before the com
mission recently, but Col. Felder
couTd not communicate even to the
commission what he knew at that
time and Col. Carroll had to return
to Louisville and get released from
certain obligations so that the com
mission could be put In possession of
information which could not go upon
the record aa it will be used in the
jproftcutions.
“■hen Col. Carroll was heye some
ago. Mr. Avery Patton objected
to paying the claim of Paul Jones
- Co.; on the ground" that the state*
meats died by Col. Carroll gave
transcript of their books no further
back than 1903.
“We paid no commissions for
South Carolina business before the
year 1903,’’ said Col. Carroll in
most matter of fact manner, and the
commission smiled for the implication
was strong that after 1903 it had
cost th^ Paul Jones concerm a little
something to get orders from South
Carolina.
When in the course of human
events it is found that the commis
sion is to pay the Paul Jones claim
the Louisville people will probably
bid a glad good-bye to,this State. As
a matter of bookkeeping, it was put
on record yesterday that there wefre
,400 cases pn the books at the dis
pensary which had been left off the
books of the liquor house entirely.
This was found by Col. Carroll,
Mr. Malvern Hill and Mr. J. G. L.
Thrope. When in checking up the
Invoices and bills of lading to find
a discrepancy which was evidenced in
the totals, they observed that there
was a shipment of 300 cases on the
17th of April, 1904,. and a shipment
of 200 cases on the 11th of Septem
ber, same year, which had not been
recorded on the books at Louisville
as a part of the dispensary business.
Mr. Cairoll made a brief supple
mental stat< ment on Paul Jones &
Co. His figures and those of the
State dispensary books tally to a
cent. There had been an apparent
discrepancy of 200 cases In Septem
ber, 1904, but he explained this to
tne entire satisfaction of the commis
sion. The two items had been put on
the cash books In Louisville, but not
carried over on the regular dispen
sary account as they had been remit
ted for promptly.
, JWIth the addition of these 400
cases , the net shipment _oiL Paul
Jones to the South Carolina dispen
sary was 2,737 cases. The gross sales
from 1902 to the close of the dispen
sary were 3,030 qases, but the dis
pensary at Us close of business re
turned 315 cases. The amount of
tile elaim is «21,149, but Col. Car-
roU Is willing to take off $5,000 for
the “overcharges.’’
Mr. Carroll stated that prior to
1003 there were no “Overcharges/’
that he had gone to the attor-
aad had made a complete
of the “♦wreharges"
PLACED ON TRIAL.
Morgan E. IloylcMton Facing a Petit
J Jury at Aiken.
The trial of Morgan E. Boyleston
for the murder of Chief of Police W.
H. Davis of Salley, was commenced
at Aiken last Tuesday. The defend
ant was arraigned the first thing af
ter court met Tuesday morning, and
after several hours hard work by, the
attorneys a full Jury was secured.
The defendant is represented by Croft
ft Croft assisted by tho •Hendersons,
of Aiken, and J. F. Fanning, of
Springfield. The prosecution is being
conducted by the solicitor, assisted
by J. B. Salley, of Aiken, and Attor
ney Townsend of Union. ’
The first witnesses to be examined
was Dr. Johnson, of Salley. He was
the first to reach the dead man on
the night of the shooting. He heard
the deceased state thfat he was shot
by Morgan E. Boyleston. Dr. Salley,
also of Salley, testified that he reach
ed the deeased a few minutes after
the shooting, and he also heard Dav
is state that he had been shot by
Boyleston.
A plat of the surroundings of the
assassinatlbn, prepared by Surveyor
Norris, of Aiken, was Introduced.
This plat showed thf course of .tracks
claimed to be those^qj"'the assassin,
which led around a long detour on
tne North of Salley, and led to a clay
read to within 6(T0 feet of Boyles-
ton’s house. The tracks are said to
have been traced .no further; As the
pursuers were satisfied that they
had been made by the accused."
It is probable that the trial will
consume several days. More than
150 witnesses have been summoned
by both sides, and practically every
body in Salley is in Aiken hearing
the trial. It is one of thO most irt-
teresting that has occurred ip Aiken
in some time. Each side is represent^
ed by able attorneys, and a hard
fight will be fought.
The accused is a well-to-do-farmer
and stands well with the people of

Ell Poglt, the negro who bruttalljr
and criminally assaulted Miss Wil
liams, a young white woman, near
Brookhaven, Miss., several “Veeks
ago, was taken from thO custody of
the Jackson military company and a
posse of deputies and hanged to a
telephone pole ^rit^n a hundred yards
oMhe Court House. He was to havs
been tried for his crime. The mili
tary and the police were overpowered
by a mob of more than one thous
and citizens. Several shots were
fired during the melee and two mem
bers of the mob were wounded.
Plgot reached Brookhaven from
Jackson Monday morning In custody
of Sheriff Frank Greer; sna
the armed escort of the Capital Light
Guards, ordered Into service by the
Governor to protect the negro during
the trial. When the soldiers and the
negro alighted from the train the
mob surged around them and a fierce
fight ensued, in which fists were free-
Jy used. - v
M’be soldiers chihhed tire TflembefB
of tlie mob with their guns. After
the flght"had lasted five minutes the
militia started with the prisoner to
the Court House. The mob, rein

occurred., By the time the train
from Jackson had artoved there were
over two thousand men in the mob
at the railroad station. Nd attempt
at concealment was made, not a man
in the mob wearing a mask.
The flrgt attempt to take the ne-
grp from tHe militia proved futile,
the soldiers beating the members of
the mob hack with the butts of their
rifles and taking up the march to
the Court House. Before the Court

lynching, hut was powerless to pre
vent it.
The two men shot down, in the
fight were Joseph Cole, of Brookhav

party at that time, and yet the par
ty suffered a more disastrous defeat
than it suffered in either of the cam
paigns in which 1 was a candidate.
' “Now, is it fair to charge up the
defeat of 1904 to my leadership when
the party allowed the World to select
the candidate that year, and give
him its boisterous advice each day
during the campaign? And if I was
leader in 19^4, in spite of the fact
that the World selected the candi
date, how can the World prevent
my being the leader this year, even
if it is allowed to select the candi
date again? How can I get out of
the responsibility of leadership If I
could not escape after I was boldly
repudiated, according to the World
in 1904? If the World wants to ha
fair, why does’nt it publish a map of
the country showing the party vote
in 1894, and thus inform the public
that the party fared better in 1896
and in 1900 than in either the Cob.

the national .campaign after I ran?

prefers the dishonest way. If it wants
to find a reason for the defeat of
Judge Parker w^y doesn't it say that
the world contributed to his defeat
why doesn’t U say that the World
received money from the Republican
committee for doing so? At least
I assume that the advertising space
that the world sold to the natlona
committee the Sunday before the
elections was paid for and was not
gratuitously given by the World to
the Rebnblican party as the World’s
contribution.”
“A great many people failed to
vote for Judge Parker, and I have
not had time to consult all of them
personally since election to see why;
hut I did what I could to secure votes
for him, and he not only appreciated
tny services during the campaign, but
he called upon me the first time I
came to New York after the cam
paign. I ^waa 'Opposed tp. his noml
nation for reasons which I gave, but
when he was nominated I did all
thai was within my power to secure
his ^eie^tjpp, and there was not
enough money in the Republjpan cam
paign committee to buy one inch of
space in the Commoner to use against
him, and I shall not allow my loy
alty In that campaign to be question
ed by a paper that will elaim to be
the discoverer of. a candidate and will
then, for g_pecuniary consideration
sell its pages for a cartoon that was
as abusive of the candidate as lan
guage could have been.”
“And now you may add a question
from me: The World telegraphed me
and asked me to name thq special
interests which it represented,
answered asking the World to state
editorially what financial interests,
if any, Mr. Pulitzer of the World
had in the stocks and bonds of rail
roads or in the corporations generally
known as trusts. This intormatipn
would enable me to answer its ques
tion more fully. The question had
not been answered when I left home.
When the World advises the Demo
cratic party, the party ought to be
in position to know just what pecun
iary interests the World or its own
er has in the questions which the
World discusses.”
