young woman I
quithusdand:
Last week Mrs. Edith Stevens, the 1
young woman who, it is charged, has x
been associated with Anthony Cassese,
tobacco merchant and fugitive
from justice in recent bootlegging op- 1
erations between New York and the
Bahama Islands, was acquitted in the <
United States District Courfc, Brooklyn.
Once more was instanced the i
difficulty of convicting a woman hefore
a New York jury. 1
She had undergone a severe cross- ;
examination by Assistant Federal At
torney Blue that kept her [for two i
hours on the verge of tears. After
more than two hours' deliberation the (
jury returned its verdict and heard :
from' Judge Clvatfield: "Of^ course, >
she deserves to he convicted." ;
For the first time the girl showed I
signs of the ordeal. She was so 1
apathetic during the trial that at I
times her answers could not be
uvaiUt k)iic OCCIIICU) nunvvgi ? IU ninu
to cling to her illusions of the recent
"wonders" of her past days with the
wealthy Cassese, and never so much t
as when the Prosecutor orally >
stripped of much of their splendor i
her stories of "beautiful" yachts <
"lovely" hotels and "gorgeous" ap,*\rt- (
ments. :
Weeps Over Accusation. g
With difficulty she held herself in >
check until Mr. Blue finally accused
her of telephoning to Mrs. Cassese j
and calling her a "big, fat slob." |
Then she broke into' tears and sob- j
bingly cried, "No, no, no!"
Her attorney, Wallace E. J. Col- j
lins in summing up read to the jury (
of young men a section of\the indict- ]
ment, in which it was stated that i
C.ussese, Bartolin and Mrs. Stevens |
did unlawfully, willingly and know- ^
ingly conspire with each other to
commit an offense against the United f
States of America?to violate an act F
commonly known as the Volstead act; to
import into this country a large .
quantity of liquor against the peace j
and dignity of the United States." i
"My God," he exclaimed, "why i
should the guns of the United States |
Government be turned against this g
girl, Edith? This is one of the most i
difficult cases it lias ever been my \
misfortune to present to a jury, for |
there is no dispute between the wit- c
. n i 1 / i i 1.1.
nesses lor me uovei nment ana inose j
for the defense." i
Alleges Perjury. <c
Mr. Collins then 7'ecited the evidence
that had indicated collusion he- j
tween Bartolin and Capt. Erickson,
two Government witnesses, and Cas- (
sese, and referred to them as those |
"whom the Government has so gra- ,
ciouslv permitted to withdraw from |
the case." In attacking- the credibili- l
ty of some of the witnesses he accused
the Assistant United States Attorney
of withholding testimony that,
if presented, would have greatly aid- ?
ed the defendant. ]
"He has deliberately permitted two
witnesses to commit perjury, and
without even an apology," he added.
Mr. Blue raked over the coals the ..
girl's life with Cassese, "who, she |
knew was a bootlegger, pure and
simple," and spoke of her connection
with a second boat, Edith, which had '
been owned by Cassese and captured <
by Government agents. j
"It is no pleasure for me to prose-1 u
cute this young girl?, he said, "for it a
is Cassese whom I hope soon to meet a
and prosecute. We knew of this t
woman's participation in the Edith d
case, but there the Government was
charitable, hoping that she had F
loamed a lesson and would not get d
mixed up in another such case. s
Judge Calls Her "Side Issue." c
"She knew of the indictment of v
Cassese in that case and now we find
her! again checking packages of liquor
abroad the Ripple. No, she, the married
woman who left her hard-working
young husband, took the easiest i<
way, and in return for Cassese's good T
times helped him in his bootlegging f:
operations. r

she loaded the Hippie with similar tl
packages and?thought it was cocoanuts
she was loading. She took the s<
second chance and got caught.. Gen- n
tlemen, why should she not pay the k
penalty?" \v
Judge Chatfield charging briefly, it
rehearsed the case and showed the
jurymen what constituted a conspir- fi
acy. He- referred to Mrs. Stevens as oi
a "side issue." Sj
During the morning session the
girl told, with her old lack of emoGOODYE/

epeatedly shivered at the truth. <
Doesn't Love Him Now. i
"1 was very much in love with <
VIr. Cassese," said Mrs. Stevens. <
"Do yo ulove him now? ' the prose- 1
:utor asked. 1
"'No, no. 1 do not love him 1
iow!" she junswered vigorously* <
The Prosecutor brought out from
ler testimony that within a month <
ifter having met Cassese she was in- i

DRAWS MAYOR
INTO \ ROW
(Florence Times). ,
Inadvertently, Mayor Barringer
seems now to have been drawn into
the campaign fight in Johnsonvillealong
with the difficulties of his office
at home and his candidacy for congress.
Charles L. Prosper, who used
(ho mayor of Johnsonville roughly
when I hp latter tried to dissuade him
from a personal altercation with S.
W. Young, of Olanta, candidate for
the house of Representatives of the
state, has decided to appeal? and Inis
said to have made this decision
upon advice of tlie Florence Mayor.
Subsequent developments are sol
forth in a letter from C. C. Cannon,
of Johnsonville, attorney and prominent
citizen of that section, in a letter
to the Times as follows:
Dear Sir:
You will please allow space in your
columns to make correction in report
appearing- in the Times of August
7th in reference to trouble at th3
campaign meeting at Johnsonville on
August 5th inst.
The report conveys to the public
the impression that Mr. C. l. Prosser
of the Hanna section dominated the
Town Court refusing to obey its man,1
~ i
u cites.
After the trouble the council as- ,
sembled in special session to try Mr.
Prosser and upon hearing the evidence
sentenced him to pay a fine of $15.00
or serve so many days. Mr. Prosser
verbally served notice of intention to
appeal, giving as his reasons for not
paying the fine that Mayor W* I?.
Barringer of Florence advised him
that council had no right to interfere
with him. Mr. Prosser before leaving
my i office, in which he was tried by
council, was kind enough to deposit
with council a bond for $200.00 pending
his appeal.
Thanking you to give space for this
letter, I remain,
Yours very truly,
C. C. Cannon.

MARION I'OHCK
GETSTUOUTiTl-:
The strike of railroad shopmen over
the country has never come any closer
to riorry County than the shops
?>f the Seaboard Airline at Flovdale,
in Marion County. According to the
effect that in compliance with the ?ev^est
of the S/i board Air Line railway,
the Marion Iron Works sent
some of its men to Floydale to repair
a locomotive. While at work on the
locomotive several automobiles containing
strikers or strike sympathizers,
arrived upon the scene and warn
ed the men to cease work ami return
to Marion, which they did. They reported
the incident to Mr. McDufl'io,
proprietor of the Iron Works, who
promptly reported it to the railroad
officials, stating tlvit his men could
not resume work on the locomotive
without protection. The Seaboard
thereupon sent armed guards to
r'loydale, and Mr. iMcDulVie's men returned
to work under their protection.

Caldcr,
The art of beiiu* a Senator like
('aider is the art of never saying "no."
Ilo is worth mentioning because ho
has the hare essentials of Senatorship,
the habit of answering :i 11 lei tors
that come to him, the practice of
introducing by request all bills that
anyone asks to have introduced, inbMry
in seeking all jobs and favors
that anyone comes to him desiring.
He votes enthusiastically for everything'that
everybody is for. lie is
unhappy when he has to take sides t>n
sharply debated issues. Moralitv is
a (|iicstiou of majorities. Ho finds
. ifel y i! 1 numbers.
Nature was not kind to Calder; it
left him with no power to throw a
bluff. Me is plainly what he is. lie
has neither words nor manner, lib;
colleagues look down on him a little.
Hut most of them are after only Calder
plus, and plus, generally speaking,
not so very much. He is the Senator
reduced to the lowest terms..

COOPER WAS

<
i
The Herald is reminded that there |
was an error in a news item appear- '
ing in the issue of last week concern- (
ing tlu* cutting of Walter Guyton by *
Frank Cooper. The news item stated <
i
that a warrant had been issued for ;
Frank Cooper and he was out on hail. 1
The Herald is informed that no war- ^
(
rant was taken out. for Cooper ana (
he was not placed under any bond. It
appears that .after the affra> Cooper (
brought Guyton to Conway and at- ,
tended to the obtaining of a doctor to
di ( ss his wounds and that Cooper is
not blamed by Guvton in the matter \
for some reason or other not explain- j
< <1. It appears that no w,arrant was (
taken out or request ?d by Guyton and
that none will be taken out l?v him. .
Conversation with Cooper concerning
the matter brought out a state- |
ment to the effect that he was obliged .
to do this cutting in self defense, or
words to that effect. i
