JVRY CHOSEN AM) TWO WIT M:ssi:s HEARD DURING DAY OF TRIAL. Male Works on an I'phill Case Ow lug to Influences Which Tend to Lighten Offences of Grafters. Chester, Nov. 7.?-The "graft" cases which have been pending in the courts ot this state for two years were called to trial here today. Af? ter the grotesque verdict of a Rich land Jury In the Farn urn ease a year ago When the defendant was acquit? ted ana later pleaded guilty to almost the Identical charge, the attorney general decided to go to trial in some Other county with the remaining cases. Cluster COUnty was selected because the principal in the conspir? acy charge, Joe It. \Vyl!e, is said to have gotten the graft money in Chester as an outcome ol his part of the alleged conspiracy. Had the cases been tried here a year ago pub? lic sentiment doutbless would have forced a verdict, but there are said to have been at work here agencies whose presence can be sensed rather than explained, and the State, with all of its mass of evidence and con? fessions, may have an up-hill tight. The defendants are John Black, Jodie If, Uawlinson and H. Lee Solo? mons. The original indictment named also Morton A. Goodman, Jno. T. Earley, Joe R Wylio ami James S. Farnum. These four will not be tried at this term. After the attorney general, Mr. Lyon, had read the indictments this morning, A. L. Gaston of the Chester bar endeavored to get Mr. Lyon to tell why these four were not under trial. Mr. Lyon said that was a mat? ter belonging to him. and in this he was sustained by the court. The indictment charges the defend? ants with having conspired to defraud the BtatS of South Carolina and with having taken $13.1.000. which be? longed to the State of South Carolina. The presiding judge is Ernest Moore, of Lancaster, representing Judge Klugh, who is ill. , The attorney general, Mr. Lyon, is assisted in the prosecution by W. F. Stevenson and Ii. L. Abney. Solicitor Henry is ill and is represented by J. C. MeClure of Chester. The attorneys for the defendants are as follows. For Uawlinson, Wes ton & Aycoek and R. H. Welch, of Columbia; for John Black, John M. Wise of Chester and M. P. Howell of Walterboro and Nelson. Nelson & Gettys of Columbia; for H. Lee Solo-| mons, A. L. Gaston of Chester, a for- j mer State dispensary leader in the legislature and a member of the in? vestigating committee. The hearing of the case promises to last a w? ek. There were no dilatory motions today, no questioning the venue, no plea for former jeopardy for Black, 'but the rase was entered upon at once. However, th? defense has contested every inch ol ground in admitting into evidence extracts from the bid book, purchase vook. minute book, invoice book and el k book of the dispensary board unuer which this particular graft is alleg? ed. Judge Moore polled the jury and the attorneys >n both sides and se? emed unanimous consent to go on with the trial Tuesday, which Is gen? eral election day and a holiday. of the defendants, Jodie M. Uaw? linson is a farmer of Uiehland county, John Black is a native of Col leton count, was shipping clerk at the dispensary, later represented a whiskey house and after that was elected on the board. This board in February. 1907, was removed from Office by Gov. Ansel on motion of Mr. Lyon, and the supreme court of the State sustained the attorney general, j Lee Solomons is now a business man I of Estlll, Hampton county. He rep? resented in 190?) the Big Springs Dis? tilling company of Savannah. Strauss, ' Prttz & Co., of Cincinnati. Among the witnesses here to tes tirfy are Jno. T. Earley. who then ( represented Fleischmann & Co.; W. | D. Roy, head of the Belroy Distilling Company and secretary of the whis? key trust, and Col. C. W. Dudley of the United states Distilling company. Twenty-six jurors were called. The prosecution challenged Wade Hafner and u. A. Smith. The defense ex? cused R. R. GUI, J. A. Barron, R. EL Bdwards, w. T. Kllgore, Hugh Cas key, R. T, Morris. YY. C. Nunnery. W. A. Gladden, J. P. Hollls, B. B. Clowney, J. Lecke and Clarence Wiskert. The following Jurors were sworn: Foreman, IV. i?.

Murray, chairman of the windlng-up commission, was the first put on the stand, lie put in evidence the record! of the old dispensary board (hiring the Incumbency of the defendants. Dr. Murray is now cus? todian <?f the records The next Witness was Jas. Ii. ' IVylle, who has not got started on his testimony; f<>r, when he endeavored to read from the minutes of the State board of directors, of which he was a mem her, there was an hour's de I ate as to whether or not he could do so. The hour for recess came be? fore Judge Moore finally determled What to do. Jno. B. Wylie testified that before he and Jno. Black were elected directors of the State dispen? sary hoard, and While both wa re can? didates, Black came to him and de? clared that they "could make a pot of money" out of the jobs. Mr. Lyon was preparing to show how this pre electlon foretaste became a full meal in reality when the argument arose. *"I am pleased to recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as the best thing I know of and safest reme? dy for coughs, colds and bronchial trouble." writes Mrs. L.
