HERRIN DEFENSE CHARGES STATE . TRIED BRIBERY Witness Denies Accusation Declaring Statement of Counsel Untrue. B.u United P resit MARION, 111., Jan. 10. —Counsel for the defense in the first Herrin massacre trial attempted today to show that testimony of State’s witnesses had been given in hope of receiving a reward of SI,OOO for evidence helping to convict the five men accused of murdering Howard Hoffman. William Goodman, one of the State's star witnesses, was called to the stand oday for further cross examination by the defense. "Did you not testify you saw Otis Clark in the mob on the June 22 because vou houed to get a reward of $1,000?” counsel for the defense asked. Denies Charge "No siree, that isn’t true, not a word of it. I didn’t intend to get a penny.” the witness said in a voice which carried from wall to wall of the courtroom. Goodman's testimony for the State had been marked with extreme reluctance. He cried “like a baby” before taking the stand, according to C. W. Middlekauff. leader of the attorneys for the prosecution. George Nelson, another State witness, followed Goodman on the stand for cross-examination. "Did you not ride from your home to Marion with Torn Cox shortly after the riots at the Lester mine?" Nelson was asked. "I did.” "When was that?” "Well. sir. I don’t just remember. It must have been several weeks.” Discussed Riots “Did you discuss the riots on that occasion?” "I did.” "Did you not tell Cox that you saw the mob escorting the prisoners and that you did not recognize a single man in all that crowd?” "No sir. 1 never did," Nelson an swered firmly. In his testimony for the State. Nelson told of seeing Otis Clark In the mob and of seeing Clark and Oscar Howard leading C. K. McDowell the mine superintendent, away from the procession where the superintendent’s bullet-ridden body was later picked up by a sheriff’s posse.

She was trying to push him back out of the door.” Dr. McKoin. sitting in the gallery of the courtroom, leaned forward in his seat. His face was expressionless as he stared steadily at the girl. “After they were In the house did your mother cry?” “Yes, she begged them to let me stay with her." ‘ What did they tell you at the de pot?” “They said that if T didn’t leave, on that train they would tar and feather me. They told my mother that if T didn’t go they’d tar and feather her too.” “Had you received any warnings before?” “No." “At the time this happened how old were you?” "Sixteen.” Fhe said she had $7 of her own money with her and 50 cents change f rom the $7 given her by the hooded men. "When did you leave Little Rock and come back?" “On the lost of May. 1 got a letter from mother to come home. I went back, but all the time 1 was scared to death.” “What kinds of hoods did they wear?” "They wore black hoods and long black robes.” "I asked them how they expected me to live in Little Rock without my parents, and Dr. McKoin said: ‘They can go too if they want to.’ Mr. Kirkpatrick gave me his flashlight when they left me at the depot.” The "sup°r government” In Morehouse parish is crumbling. State of fieials probing the murders of Watt Daniel and Thomas Richards, declared. Daniel and Richards, victims of a l black masked mob, started a "rebelt lion” In the parish when they refused to obey warnings Os the alleged i "snper government,” Attorney General Coco said. The black hood of terror and death worn by the mob which tortured and murdered Watt Daniel and Thomas Richards, was stripped off late yesterday by the State and held , up to the Nation as "the mask of the | Ku-Kltix Klan in action.” In testimony presented In open hearing, the State's legal forces, backed by Its military ’and the Department of Justice, has publicly directed Its fire for the first time straight at the Invisible empire, and the klan’s foes have hailed the re port of Its guns as a first note sound ing the approaching doom of a masked domain admittedly powerless to control the excesses of Its outposts. James T. Norworthy, planter and former official of the klan, swore that j the black hoods of the men who kidnaped Daniel and Richards and tor- ' tured them to death, as if by ritual, wore klan regalia—"the terror mask of the klan, worn when they went on the warpath,”—his testimony removed all doubt that Attorney General Coco and his staff intend to name klansmen in Morehouse parish as fiendish torturers and murderers. Quotes Klan Cyclops Norworthy attributed the following statement to Capt. J. J. Skipwith, exalted cyclops of the klan in Morehouse parish: “There have been six objectionable people in Mer Rouge. We have got two of them and we'll have to get the other four.” The other four whom Skipwith thus condemned, Norworthy said, were Hugo Davenport, A. C. Whipple, Walter Campbell and Thomas Miller. All are known as enemies of the Klan. Norworthy said he had saved his own brother from “Klan punishment” by Intervening with Skipwith. The witness Identified a black hood

submitted by Attorney General Coco ! as the sort which he had said was part of the klan regalia. The features of Dr. B. M. McKoin, former reform mayor of Mer Rouge, and Capt. J. J. Skipwith, exalted cyclops of the klan, emerged from the hoods as the most important witness thus far produced told of the parish’s long reign of terror. The astounding conditions which sent Governor John M. Parker to Washington to confer with President Harding about the klan activities were indicated when Norworthy declared in answer to Coco's questions that nine members of the Parish grand jury, four out of five jury commissioners, Sheriff Fred Carpenter and District Attorney David Garrett were klansmen. Place Responsible With such protection, Norworthy declared. the Klan alone was responsible for the reign of terror in Morehouse parish which Daniel declared must end. Skipwith, the cyclops. had ordered him to kidnap, flog and forcibly expel citizens from the State before be resigned from the order, the witness declared. He identified McKoin, now technically charged with murder, its a member of the Klan. who, with “Pink" Kirkpatrick and Tommy Higgins. had taken 17-year-old Adie May Hamilton from the home of iter parents at Mer Rouge and sent iter alone | to IJttle Rock. Ark. The kidnaping of Daniel and Rich- i ards just prior to their cruel deaths was also described in vivid detail. Scores of automobiles were held up by the hooded mob, while they searched for their victims and fright oned women and children into liys terics. • The. vigilance committee went around the parish and found things and reported to the cyclops and if he saw fit lie ordered action,” Norworthy said. Norworthy went on the witness •land after J. L. Daniel, father of one of the victims, bad testified his son had told him of an earlier meeting with a masked mob. In which he recognized McKoin and Skipwith. "Ml- Norworthy.” asked Attorney General Coco, "are you a klansman?” The witness hesitated a moment. "I joined them about a year ago last October, about the time they organized went to two meetings and then resigned." lie replied. "Why did you resign? Are not their principles and ideals right? W hat made you quit?" Didn't Like Klan “1 did not like it from the first meeting. I joined to sec what it was like, and when 1 found out the way they were handling things I quit ” "But you liked the principles as ex plained by the kieagle. didn’t you. and then later you wanted to get out?” "I didn’t want to belong to It at all.” “Is the hlaek hood a part of the regalia?” "Yes.” "Is it used for purposes oth n r th in when the white hood is warn?' "Yes." “They wear it at night, don't they and isn’t It called the terror mask or the wrecking or raiding mask?" . "Yes. they wear the black hoods when they are on th* war path." "But In meeting or when they are lawful and peaceful, they wear the white hoods, don’t they?” "Yes.” I Didn’t Like It “And you know positively that when they are out marauding they wear black?” "Yes. and I didn't like it.” "How about tlds committee I hear referred to, the vigilance committee?” “That committee goes over the country, looks out for misdeeds and reports to the Cyclops." “Whatever is in his mind, to order, he orders?" “Yes.” “And a good .ten! of terrorism and regulation and punishment of com munities and persons has been done, supposedly by the Klan, hasn't it?"

PHYSICIANS ADVISE A Rea! First-Aid Method To Relieve and Break Up Colds. HOT MEDICINAL TEA To Stimulate the Circulation, Heat Up the Chilled Blood and Flush the Waste poisons From the Intestines and Bowels. It is a recognized fact that hot medicinal herb tea is one of the very best home remedies to use to assist in breaking up colds which when neglected often develop into influenza, pneumonia or other serious sickness. It is old-fashioned of course, but nevertheless Its effectiveness Is readily admitted everywhere today. Many physicians now advise their patients to always have on hand a supply of medicinal tea for emergency purposes. Harsh, drastic, habit forming drugs should be avoided. The risk to one's general health is too great, because certain drugs have a tendency to depress the heart action and disturb th nervous system. Millions of people all over the world are todfty using Bulgarian Herb Tea as a reliable first-aid to help break up colds, and also to keep the Intestines and bowels cleansed and free of the waste poisons that so often cause sickness and ill health. Bulgarian Herb Tea is prescribed by many physicians, and druggists everywhere honestly recommend this pure healthful laxative tea tonic, to their customers. Why not see your druggist at once and get a small package, for emergency purposes? You or some other member of your family may need it to help fight a cold this winter.—Advertisement.

Marvelous Invention Causes Movie Folk to Step Right Off the Screen

By JAMES W. DEAN Nr EVV YORK. Jan. 10.—A remarkable thing has just happened. ' While I was watching a movie one of the characters left the screen and came right up to where I was sitting in the fifth row and shook liis fist in my face. If I hadn’t, ducked as the saying is, he would hava hit me on the nose. Now if 1 had been the only one who experienced this phenomenon i might have doubted my senses. But even persons in the balcony screamed. The fellow had shaken his fist in the faces of every one in the audience. The effect was gained by the Teleview, anew process for the prejection of motion pictures invented by Laurens Hammond. It is a stereoscopic process that projects pictures in "three dimensions. The effect is. that of looking at objects whose movements are in no way confined by the limits of the screen. Except for coloring. an exact simulation of life is achieved. The pictures are photographed with a camera equipped with two lenses which are set the same distance apart as the two eyes, the pictures being photographed on two films simultaneously. Both films, synchronized, are projected upon the screen. The result with the naked eye is that of objects with double outline. Tho Teleview Is an instrument through which the spectator looks. A revolving shutter, making ninety six revolutions a minute, corrects the displacement of tlie two images, making them appear as one. The shutter traveling at that speed does not obstruct the vision. It allows one eye, then the othor, to see for tho thousandth part of a second. : This seems to completely eliminate ; the flicker common to ordinary films. The possibilities of the Teleview seem unlimited. Surgeons and physicians now’ study anatomy and path--1 ology by means of motion pictures. 1 The body is presented to them In two j dimensions only. This new threei dimensional process, it seems to me, would give far greater scope to their research. • • • Tiie Teleview process also makes possible the projection of three dimensional shadowgraph". The shadowed figures Instead of remaining flat ob .lefts on the screen move forward and backward as well as sideward There seemed to be a real threat wh"n th shadowed figures shook sticks at the audience at the premier showing of the Teleview at the Selwyn • • • Cost of producing three dimensional pictures may prevent them from be lug generally used in the Immediate future. However, this process would destroy many of the present traditions of the photoplay. There would no longer be such a thing as a "camem face “ Many beautiful actresses do not appear beautiful In the pres ens. method of fiat projection and thus can find no place on the screen. This : new method would give them their real face value On tho other hand, it might result In some of the present screen beauties appearing to dis id ’ vantage. The manner of screen acting may also be affected, Thuso given to portraying emotion by the hearing bosom will no longer have to turn for a side view. They may face the camera and heava to their heart's content. •I- I- + On 1/oca.l Stage and Screen Today and Several Other Days The following attractions are on view- today: A1 Jolson in "Bombo” at the Murat, Bessie Barrlscale In “Picking Peaches" at Keith’s.

J.D.EDRRESTTB RETIRE BY JULY 1 Trustees of Gas Company Reelect Directors. J. D. Forrest, secretary and general manager, will retire from all official relation with the Citizens Gas Company not later than July 1, the board of trustees announced today. The trustees, holding the voting power, re-elected the board of directors as follow-s: James W. Dunbar, G. A. Efroymson, J. D. Forrest, Harvey Hooper, H. H. Hornbrook, A. F. Potts, James Steep, John R. Welch and Franklin Vonnegut. In announcing Forrest’s formal notification he would retire “from the directorate and all official relation with the company not later than July 1, 1923,” the trustees said: “Mr. Forrest had long desired to be relieved from the heavy burden of active duties which he had carried ever since the organization of the company. Last year Mr. James W. Dunbar of New Albany had been elected to the board, and as vice president of the company, with the expectation that he would rapidly familiarize himself with the duties being discharged by Mr. Forrest and permit the latter’s retirement at the beginning of 1923, quite in accordance with Mr. Forrest’s own wishes. “However, a series of physical misfortunes had compelled Mr. Dunbar to spi-iid the last three months of the year in St. Vincent’s Hospital, and he was now just beginning to recuperate from his operations, and it would re quire from two to four months to bring him to entire recovery. However, his complete recovery was now assured and justified the announcement by Mr. Forrest of a definite date for his retirement from official and active relationship with the company."
