Found Guilty of Criminal Libel In
Charging Judge Adams With Cor-ruption—
A Notable Case.
The Adams-Butler lit el suit, which
was taken up in Superior court last
Wednesday morning, came to a close
yesterday afternoon, when the Jury
brought in a verdict finding ex-Sena-tor
Marion Butler, of Washington,
and his brother, Lester F. Butler,
of Raleigh, guilty of the charge of
criminal libel preferred by ex-Judge
Spencer B. Adams. Judge Long fined
ex-Senator Butler $500 and half the
costs and his brother $250 and half
the costs. Notice of an appeal to
the Supreme court was given and
the defendants were allowed to re-new
their bonds of $1,000 each.
The trial was one of the most not-able
held in this county in a long
while and attracted wide attention.
The prominence of the men involved,
the serious nature of the charge and
the intensely bitter feeling displayed
served to attract and hold the atten-tion
of the people. Every inch of
ground was hotly contested and splen-did
legal talent was displayed on
both sidea in the conduct of the case.
Solicitor Fuller was assisted in the
prosecution by Stedman & Cooke and
G. S. Bradshaw, of this city, and Mr.
Jacob A. Long, of Graham. Jastice
& Bioadhurst, of this city, and ex-
Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson, ofGolds-boro,
represented the defendants.
A mass of testimony was intro-duced,
much of it being in the na-ture
of depositions. The taking of
testimony was not concluded until
Monday at 12.30 o'clock. The argu-ment
of counsel began upon the re-assembling
of court for the afternoon
session, Mr. Long leading off for the
state. He was followed by Mr. Jus-tice
for the defense and Maj. Sted-man
for the state. Yesterday morn-ing
Juddge Robinson spoke'for the
defense and Solicitor Fuller closed
for the state.
The case grew out of the publica-tion
of articles in the Raleigh Cau-casian,
a newspaper controlled by ex-
Senator Butler and managed by his
brother, charging that, while chief
justice of the Choctaw and Chlcka-saw
Citizenship court, in Indian Ter-ritory.
Judge Adams had been guilty
of corruption in accepting a bribe.
This charge was based on the award-ing
by the court of a fee of $750,000
to the law firm of Mansfield. McMur-ray
& Cornish, who appeared before
the court as counsel for the Choc-taw
and Chickasaw tribes. It ap-peared
that the fee was to have been
fixed by the court and paid out of
fund? recovered from the government
for the Indian citizens.-. A large num-ber
of claimants were denied the
right to participate in this distribu-tion
by the court on the ground that
they had got on the citizenship roll
fraudulently, and it was from these
claimants and their attorneys that
the charge of bribery"appears to have
originated, or rather it was upon this
class that the Butlers relied for evi-dence.
One of the first witnesses placed
on the stand by the state was Mr. W.
H. Murray, one of the leading and
most influential citizens of Oklaho-ma,
who swore to the good character
of Jud/e Aonms :n-<I th.- 01 her mem-bers
of the virr.. ^ar n,r the rouit
had tho respect of the better element
of Oklaho.na people Mr M^'»ay is
a citizen of the Chickasaw nation by
virtue of having intermarried with
an Indian, his wife, being a niece of
the governor of the nation, lie was
familiar with the litigation before the
[-court aud knew all the circumstances
df the contract made with the law
firm engaged to represent the two
nations before the court. He explain-ed
that, under the terms of the orig-inal
contract, by which the lawyers
were to receive 9 per cent, of the
amount recovered, the firm would
have been paid $1,800,000. It appear-ed
that Judge Foote, one member of
the court, was willing that the entire
amount be allowed, while Judge Weav-er
thought $1,000,000 a reasonable
fee and Judge Adams was in favor
of paying only $500,000. The amount
agreed upon was in the nature of a
compromise.
Judge Walten L. Weaver, of Spring-field,
O., was another important wit-ness
for the state, as his position as
a member of the court put him in
possession of all the facts.. He ex-plained
In detail the work of the
court and told how the amount of the
fee was arrived at.
Judge Adams was on the stand for
six hours Saturday afternoon and
night and made a splendid witness
for the state. He wont into all the
matters that had been brought out
and explained in detail the work of
the court, the duty and power of the
judges, etc. Under cross examination
he was asked many searching ques-tions
as to the value of his property,
the amount of money he has been
making, etc., the effort being to show
that he grew suddenly rich soon af-ter
his return from Indian Territory.
Judge Adams explained all these mat-ters,
even to the extend of the bank
accounts he has been keeping.
The defense proved by ex-Judge
W. P. Bynum, Jr., that Judge Adams
had told him soon after his return
from Indian Territory that he was
worth $50,000. At a later time Judge
Adams had told Judge Bynum of
making a trip to Birmingham and
selling an interest he held in a coal
mine for $25,000.
Congressman J. H. Stephens, of
Texas, testified as to a speech he
had made In the house of representa-tives
attacking the court and reciting
the charges of corruption. He add-ed
that a great many people in Okla-homa
believed these charges and said
the court was not generally respect-ed.
WUksBboro, testified to the good char-acter
of R. H. McNeill, whose depo-sition
was used by the defense, and
said that, from the discussion he had
heard,- he believed Judge Adams' char-acter^)
be bad. J. W. Howell and
Webster Bellinger, of Washington;
w. B; Johnson, Joe Johnson, A. C.
Cruse and others from Oklahoma
made depositions that the character
of Judge Adams is bad.
In rebuttal of this, the state intro-duced-
over 20 witnesses who gave
Ju°fe Adams a good character.
There are three other indictments
for criminal libel, as well as a civil
action for $50,000 damages, pending
against the Butlers, but it is under-stood
that no effort will be made to
try any of them until the appeal case
is settled by the Supreme court.
NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE.
Cold-Blooded Murder Near the Coun-ty
Home Yesterday Morning.
A brutal crime was committed on
the public road a short distance east
of the county home and about three
miles from this city yesterday morn-ing;
when Ben Hazel shot and killed
bis wife. The negro used a double-barrel
shotgun and shot the woman
five times, twice after she had fallen
to the ground. After committing the
crime, he left his gun leaning; against
a tree and calmly walked on down
the road.
Sheriff Jones and several deputies
were on the scene in a short while
and began making a thorough search
of the eastern part of the county, be-ing
under the impression that Hazel
has gone to the home of some of his
relatives who reside near Gibsonville.
There is- no doubt that the crime
was premeditated. Just before the
shooting Mr. Will Alexander, on
whose farm the negro lived, saw
Hazel hiding behind a tree near the
public road and apparently watching
hla wife and a female companion who
were coming down the road. As the
women were passing. Hazel stepped
from behind the tree Into the road
and addressed his wife, who ran be-hind
Mr. Alexander's horse and beg-ged
for protection. Mr. Alexander
commanded Hazel not to shoot, but
before he could protect the woman
his horse, a wild animal, became ex-cited
and jumped, leaving the woman
standing In the road in plain view
of her infuriated husband. The frist
load fired from the gun struck the
woman, but she did not fall to the
ground until the second shot had
been fired.
Coroner Wood viewed the body, but
il'd not deem an inquest necessary.
r. .•!>•, Garrett, who was with the
dead woman, was struck by a portion
of one of the loads from the gun, but
was not seriously Injured.
Hazel and his wife had not lived
together for some time. Recently the
woman 6ued her husband for non-sup-port
and Monday came to Greensboro,
and had a warrant sworn out for his
arrest.
MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Meeting of Merchants' Association.
A well attended meeting of the Re-tall
Merchants' Association of Greens-boro
was held at the Guilford hotel
Friday night. Mr. R. C. Hood spoke
on "Who is Worthy of Credit," and
his wide business experience enabled
him to throw much light on the sub-ject.
The discussion was participat-ed
in by Messrs, C. C. McLean, W.
E. Allen, F. P. Elmore. J. M. Hen-drlx
and others.

bewteen Greensboro and San-ford,

and Greensboro in the afternoon.
Mr. R. C. Hood read a communica-tion
from Mr. W. H. Swift regarding
the establishment of a waiting room
for the benefit of the wives of farm-ers
who come to town. The associa-tion
decided to appoint a committee
of three to look into the suggestion
and report at a later meeting.
