Agent, Augusta, Ga. ^ylitt-Aws Ii (('onttt V\ed/ from P SAJ BIUN KENNE* Page Eight.) Nichols denied he had done "much pardon business." as alleged by Heed, and when asked to explain the fees that the attorneys would receive for securing pardons, he brought forth laughter from the crowd when he said to Commltteeman Cary: Price of Pardons Varies. "If a man of your standing were to comvit murder, we'd charge more to get a pardon for you than for a| poor man who had no money." Mr. Nichols said W. T. Jones, of Union, had offered him money to se cure a pardon, and that a friend of Allen Emmerson, of Anderson, had told him that Mr. deer, of Charles ton, would pay a big fee for Emmer son's pardon. He had been told he could get $5,000 for the first pardon,! but both of these, as well as others, he had refused to consider. Influence Over Blease. Nichols said he believed he had great Influence over the governor, and j that his (Nichols') influence would' have some weight with the governor. "In your opinion, do you believe that the governor's lawyer and other j friends have Imposed on him through fi le;, '.ship In securing the large num ber of pardons since he had been gov- j ernor of South Calrollna?" asked Commltteeman Carey. Not Imposed Upon. "I am not familiar with the ele ments of the other cases, but In the few I was connected with he was not j imposed upon, and If the others wore as meritorious as mine, in none has he been imposed upon," replied Nich ols. Asked as to the statement reported in the dictagraph record that If Blease were elected to the I'nlted States senate, he (Nichols) would In two years be elected governor. the witness laughed and said: "That shows I was drunk, for if I should he elected governor in two years, I could not qualify for 1 am too young." There was considerable laughter. Mr. Nichols said "he knew little of the DeFord case, except what he got from Heed, the detective. He said that, on investigation, he had found that C. P. Sims did not represent DeFord, the prisoner rep resenting himself, net being able to pay for an attorney. It, K. Carson a Witness. R. K. Carson, an attorney of Spar enburg, was the next witness. He testified of the trial and physical con dition of DeKord and said, from his knowledge, and if his condition now Is as it was when he last had a report on it, he thought lie needed a pardon, and he said under the circumstances he thought there was nothing unpro fessional in laying a petition for De Ford's pardon before the governor. Several witnesses testified that De Ford was suffering from tubedculosls and had other infirmities. Magistrate H. .1. Qantt was the next witness. He testified that on the day of the interview Mr. Nichols was "lighting drunk." He gave as his opin ion that there was nothing unprofes sional in laying the pardon petitlo before the governor. Affidavits from Chas. P. Calvert and H. B. Pasley were introduced to show that Nichols was drunk on the trip to Baltimore. Why Be Wanted Heed. Mr. Nichols testitled that he want ed Heed, the detective, here today to appear that he might contradict him in case the detective said Nichols was not drunk during the testimony re corded in the dictagraph, and he al so wanted to contradict his stsate ment, as reported in an Atlanta pa per, that a telegram had been sent to Chicago by Nichols telling Reed to come to Spnrtanburg and close the "deal." Judge Xleliols on Stand. Judge Goo. W. Nichols, father of the first witness, was (he second wit ness. He testified that on the day of the interview in the Hotel Finch had taken place? he saw his son more drunk than ever before. Shu- a Witness. C. P. Sims, of Spnrtnnburg, was the third witness. He told of circulating the petition for the pardon of DeFord, and said he thought the prisoner in such a had physical condition that he should be, pardoned. He offered to get. an affidavit to show DeFord had been wrongfully convicted. Sims testified of Sam .1. Nichols' drunken condition on the day of the interview, and of having been suspi cious as to the doings of Porter." He spoke of his high esteem of Governor Blease and said lie knew of no wrong ful acts on the part of the governor. He sal dhe doubted that "Porter" was honest, but he y/as willing to "risk" the job for a good fee. DOW TO REMOVE FRECKLES Wilson's Freckle Cream Is Pos itively Guaranteed to Do the Work.
