was a witness for the defense.
[ In inspecting the bridge where the
tragedy occurred, Bodeker said he had
found the bloody print of a hand on
the inside of the bridge rail, as if
some one had been holding the rail and
standing on the outside. There was ;
a foot print on the iron shelving out- !
side the rail. Witness was not allow- |

said had known Judge Lawler 20
years.
During his Incumbency as circuit
clerk he said his relations with Judge
Lawler were friendly. Judge Lawler
was re-elected in the last primary

Counselor Allen asked if there was
anything unusual in this campaign or!
whether it was like others that are
usually held In the counties of Ala
bama .
“About as usual” answered the wit
ness.
Overton and Lawler had no person
al difficulty he testified. He said he
made no contest of the election, and
did not especially encourage any one
else to do so. He heard of a contest
and discussed it freely, but had no
active part in the proceedings.
After the election, in reply to ques
tion whether he tried to meet Judge
Lawler, Overton stated that he said
it would only take a few minutes for
him to recover from the campaign
and told Mr. Spragins that If he
(Overton) could have a friendly con
ference with Lawler, old scores could
be settled.
tncrxalatcd Brother.
Witness said about May 10 he con

Mr. Spraglns to arrange a meeting
with Judge Lawler. Witness and Law

other party present. They met once
at Decatur and went to the river, and
and then to a hotel. He told Senator
Spraglns of this meeting.
"Spraglns said Dave. Tom says you
all have been discussing this cam
paign privately."
”1 did not have Judge Lawler’s
permission to tell you," satd Overton,
but we have."
I told Mr. Spraglns we were ar
ranging things between us and he
expressed pleasure. I also assured Mr.
Spraglns that If he could bring about
a meeting I would ^jnake the neces
sary concessions and we could certain
ly get together. This was Lefore the
election.

He did not atop nor look at me but
epoke privately.
" I stopped and penciled oft a abort
note in my own hand writing; it aaid
"Come down in the basement in the
vault.” I then went to the basement
and Judge Lawler came immediately.
He said I got your message from
Air. Spragins, referring to it later as
my suggestion to a meeting in
Spragins presence. He said there bad
been no substantial reason for us to
meet before, but now it was different;]
that the grandjury was trying to des- i
troy him by impeaching him, and was i
now about to g<\ after me. He said!
the grand Jury was seeking informa
tion of him to destroy me. He said
now was the time for us to get to
gether.
"I told him I would be glad to meet
«« an? in the presence of
Mr. Spragins, whom I considered a
valued friend. He said we would meet
at Mr. Spragins' office at 8 o'clock
that evening. 1 agreed to that and then
we parted. About 8 o'clock I came up
town in my buggy, hitched on Hustle
street in front of Elks Building and
walked up to the corner. I saw a light
burning In the court house. I then
walked over to the Flrat National
Hank to fill my engagement with
Lawler.
"No one was there, but Judge Lawler
came in a few minutes and told me
Mr. Spragins had gone to Chautauqua
and could not meet with us. He said
ho had tried to arrange to meet with
Mr. Fletcher, but he had not yet
turned up. We walked off down Com
mercial Row and he asked me where
my buggy was. He walked off and
came back Joining me at my buggy.
He said ‘lets drive some.' We both
got in the buggy and as we turned
the Episcopal corner, a colored man.
who works on my place, stopped us
and asked me for some money.
“We drove on down through 'the
south end of town. When we struck
Madison street he said, ‘Lets drive on
down the pike." Whltesburg Is about
ten miles distance on Oood Roads.'
Talked Of Graad Joey
"We talked of the action of the
grand Jury and he told me what he
had found out about the action of that
body and that If we would work to
gether we could make the work of the
solicitor fruitless.
"He said he was anxious to nave a
successful administration, It being his
last, and that he would cooperate and
help me In anything I wanted In the
future. We drove on at an ordinary
gait, passing several people. When we
got to Whltesburg bridge 1 suggested
we had gone far enough. He sugested
we stop and discuss the plans for con
trolling the grand Jury. I suggested
there was a fish camp further down
and If we would go on we might find
somebody. He got out and walked
around toward the old ferry. I remain
ed in the buggy, crossed the bridge
coming back, then we met on the
bridge, where we began talk about the
grand Jury.
"He said two of the grand Jury vot
ed for Drake, three for Lawler and
twelve for Overton, and If we would
etand together we would not be hurt.
He said the grand Jury had already
found several Indictments against him.
"He suggested that we wait until
the town was quiet and then get the
grand Jury to meet us, and effect a
delay. He said we could see the grand
Jurymen that remained in town and
the rest of those who had retired In
the morning."
He began to point out the members
[ should see and make suggestions to
my friends on the Jury. I told him I
Bid not want to get them out at that
time of night and try to get them to
reverse hemselves as grand Jurymen.
"He said that If the grand Jury In
jured him he would hold me respon
sible. He showed some feeling and
appeared nervous and angry. I re
sponded that we would go to town
and If he felt that way we would
not discuss It any further. Up to this
time he had been pleasant.
Telia of Fatal Fight.
When I turned to go back to town
he grabbed me and began cutting me.
It was a surprise to me and tried to
treat. When he caught me and cut
me. I tripped and fell. He cut me
through the hand and I tried to stay
his hand, but he was over me."
“In the last two years I have re
duced In weight 90 pounds, 40 pounds
In the last year, have been under
care of physicians practically, the

aiabetes. When I tried to get up he
would cut me again. I was cut six
or eight times, three times In the
hand, head, neck, right and left
Lreast and left leg. I resisted him all
I could and finally got hold of the
bridge rail.
I was in a bad plight from a loss

pocket. It Is a heavy weapon, having
a Colts grip, though It Is a Smith and

"The sheriff came In and I told him
what had transpired. He was very
much alarmed and excited. I told him
to carry me to the jail and get a
doctor at once then look after Law
ler. Sheriff Phillips said It was very
unfortunate and would cause great ex
citement. He told me to go to Percy
Brooks who was a deputy sheriff, and
go with him to Whltesburg."
Witness wasNasked by his counsel
If the clothing ofTered as evidence was
his and witness Identified them.
Kesumlng his narrative, witness said
the sheriff told him to stay out In
the country all day and eom»back at
night and report to him. Overton went
out and got In his buggy, and when
he started off the horse switched one
of the reins out of his hands and he
could not recover It.
He went to Circuit Clerk Nalls' home
and when Nalls asked what was the
matter witness would not tell and
never did tell until he had employed
counsel. He told Nalls and Brooks
he had had a very dose call. The first
Intimation Overton said he had that
the body had been concealed wae when
Sheriff Phillips told him the body
would not be brought In.
When he went to Whlteeburg with
Brooks and Nalls, wltnass said he did
not go near the bridge: he did not
know who painted the spots on the
bridge.
He was at Brooks' houss about two
and one-half hours. .Coming hark, he
got out with bloody clothing and going
into the mountains tried to burn them
up. The cotton clothing burned read

“Finally I gave It up," he said, "and
lay down to await Brooks. Later In
the day Brooks came back and I met
him and told him I would like to go
back to town In the evening. He put
me off at Church ntreet. I offered to
pay him, but aald he wae only too glad
to be of service. He asked me to tell
him what happened. 1 told him he
knew about what had happened, that
I did not want-to tell anything until

Returning to tho city Overton said
"• yas that Mr. Spraglns had call
ed him and told hla wife to tell him
to come to see him (Spraglns) on Sat
urday morning. Overton said he heard
°,‘ a Rfeat deal of excitement In the
city.
When arrested, witness was weak and
In a rundown condition. He wait ar
rested at SmlthvtUe. He did not ob
ject to being brought back to the
State. He came votuntarlly- He did
not resist going to Montgomery, but
said he preferred coming to Hunts
ville.
Counselor Allen asked witness If
Sheriff Phillips was living or dead.
"Dead," replied thib witness.
Short* Not Implicated.
Aiiked if Sheriff Phillips had any
thing to do with the death of Judge
Lawler, witness replied that he did
not.
Cro^-examlned by Solicitor Thomp
son, Overton said he came back to Ala
bama without resistance, but that he
had gone Into three states besides Ala
bama.
Attempts of counsel to tell of details
of his flight were blocked in part, but
he was required to tell that he was
trying to avoid arrest until taken at
Smlthvllis. He did not call on any
doctor In Huntsville to dress his in
juries.
The meeting with Judge Lawler In
Decatur was early In the campaign,
about the latter part of last year, be
fore any candidates had announced,
probably in the fall.
Overton did not remember what
time he left, but It wais early In the
evening. He met Judge Lawler on
the street crossing the railroad toward
the river. Judge Lawler came from the
restaurant. The engagement was made
the day before. They agreed to meet
near the Bismarck hotel. After meet
ing they walked toward the river.
They occupied a room at the Bismarck,
Overton going to bed; neither register
ed.
Lawler was gone when Overton
awakened. Counsel for the State at
tempted to show that the meeting was
in 'September, when Lawler and Over
ton were returning from Montgomery,
but wltneaj denied this.
Witness did not deny that he wanted
Brooks to got him out of town Thurs
day morning, but denied telling
Brooks to go out and look at the
bridge.
He did not recall anything about red
paint being mentioned by Brooks.
As Overton described what he said
occurred on the bridge, all eyes In a
crowded court room were fixed upon
him. A clearing of the throat or a
cough here and there was the only
sound bealdes the voice of the wit
ness that broke the stillness.
Mrs. Lawler, witness of the dead
Jurist, was seen to weep when Over
ton described the blown he adminis
tered upon her husband’s head. Judge
Miller, with his hands locked In front
of him, leaned far over his desk, a
picture of profound Interest.
It is expected that the State will
conduct an examination In rebuttal
early tomorrow, and that Overton’s
fate will be in the hands of the jury
before noon. _

LONDON, Nov. «—£>lr Hiram Maxim,
lnvantor of the automatic ayatem of
Are arma, died at hta home here early
this morning.
Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, American
born, was one of the most famous In
ventors, civil, mechanical and electrical
engineers of Great Britain. He was
most widely known as the Inventor of
the Maxim machine gun, which makes
the recoil of the weapon serve as the
power for reloading, and which Is the
weapon largely used In the European
war today.
Bora la Maine.
He was born in S&ngervlUe, Maine,
February 6, 1810. the son of Isaac

For many years Sir Hiram was a di
rector In the Arm of Vickers Sons and
Maxim, but resigned that post In 1911. I
For more than thirty years he -ex
perlmented in aeronautics and Invent
ed dying machines. In the light of the
present war, with Its numerous German
airship raids on. England, it Is remark
ably Interesting • to recall that eight
years ago Sir Hiram took the British
nation to task for its small interest In
aeronautics, and pointed then, at a
time when aeroplanes were In their
infancy, that England was in grave
danger of bombardment by airships.
"Does any one doubt for a moment,"
said he, “that In case we And ourselves
at war with a continental power, air
ships will be used for bombarding
English towns, both on the coast and'i
inland? The city of London within a
year’s time can be attacked without
our enemy needing to fear the boasted
British Aeet.”

Following the success of the Wright |
biplane. Sir Hiram renewed his long
continued Interest in aviation and in
1910 perfected a machine which hs de
clared had certain advantages over
the Wright’s. It was he who. with oth
ers, Interested the British government
In beginning its organization of an
aerial navy, and though he was then
<0 years old he lived So see the great
war bring air Aghting to pass in even
greater measure, probably, than he
himself had dreamed.
In addition to his gun and aeroplane
he patented many electrical inventions,
including incandescent lamps, self
regulating current machines, several
pieces of ordnance, and a smokeless
powder. I
