WANTS "NO NOL PROSSiG." Mr. Evans Demands That a Jury Pass on His Case-Tells Why He Gave Up "T. B." Letters. Columbia, March 23.-"Hub" Evans declared today that Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney, had held up his own trial as a "lash," and that he is demanding trial. "I will take no nol prossing of my case," added Evans. "I want to be tried and convicted or vindicated, as the case may be," fur ther declared the Newberry ex-chair man of the dispensary board. Evans declared also that he did not ask for any immunity from anyone. It was stated a few days ago by Gov srnor Blease that Evans had not sought immunity from him, nor had he promised any immunity for the letter signed "T. B." As to the other letter, Evans said: "Well, if a mutual friend of ours found it and carried it to Cole, it's all right with me. I looked everywhere for the letter and could not find it." "Why didn't you give up these let ters before?" Evans was asked. Why He Gave Up Letters. "Well, I had turned over alt my let-, ters to my attorney, and the f!r. t let ter published was one of them. i let the investigation go on. I told them at the very jump that I would., put nothing in their way. If they could find anything against me I wand them to do it. When I lean ed that Welder was holding my trial as a iash I determined to gire up the l?t.r<. Evans was standing in the outer of See of the governor when he made these remarks to several nsteners. He talked freely of the dispensary situa Ion and reiterated much that he had said in previous statements. He reiterated especially his remarks quoted a few days ago, that if the dis pensary houses were guilty of wrong doing in State dispensary diays they are now guilty of the same, as the iounty dispensaries are still buying from many of the same houses. "A perusal of the published lists will show this," added Evans. Evans said: "The county dispen saries are now buying the same liquor the State dispensary did, paying the same prices, and higher. You talk shout a firm turning over $30,000 the ether day. Well, then the county dis pensaries pay back $100,000 for that." At the time also Evans said: While in Atlanta. "Felder did send for me to come to Atlanta. When we were in the room together I said to him: 'Open that door, -- you, and let the attorney general hear everything I have got to say.' This was in reference to a meeting Governor Blease referred to in asking for an investigation in his message to the general assembly. "Hub" Evans came in today from Newberry and went direct to the gov ernor's office, after running up to a local hotel and putting his suit case up. He was in a jovial mood. In a few minutes Jonn Bell Towill *ntered the office. Governor Blease was engaged at the time and the visi tors chatted in the outer office. It so happened that Mose H. Mobley, -now dispensary auditc,r, wno was chief bookkeeper in State dispensary days, 'was in the office at the time. Evans wants to be tried, he said. He will not permit the case to be dropped. "If you were indicted for a crime wouldn't you like to be tried, so that, if innocent, you could be vindi cated?" said Evans to those around him. SMALL FOETUNE FROM1 MAIL.
