drawing Charges Against
Patrolman Ross
FINAL SESSION TO
BE HtELD TONIGHT
I Number of Witnesses Testify as to
Quick Work of Officer* in Recover
ing Stolen Property—Wallace
Questioned as to His Conduct
Bessemer, October 12.— (Special.)
Tlie first hearing of the defense of the
accused police oficers before the police
probe committee of citizens of Besse
mer this evening was enlivened by a
tilt between Chief of Police T. B. Wal
lace and Dr. George D. Waller, one of
the most prominent at# highly respect
c*rl citizens of Bessemer. The occasion
was one of intense interest because
of the prominence of the men con
cerned. it was occasioned when A.
Reese Murray, for tho defense, called
Ghief Wallace to the stand and asked
him whether or not he told the com
mittee last night that he had not with
drawn the charges prefered by him to
T)r. J. S. Winters, chairman of the po
lice committee, relative to Ceph Ross,
a patrolman. Mr. Wallace replied that
he did tell the committee that he had
not withdrawn the charges as stated
by Dr. Winters.
Mr. Murray then aske<V,permission to
, tell Dr. George D. Waller, as he was
a professional man and bad only a
limited time to spend at the meeting.
The, permission being granted. Dr. Wal
ler took the stand and in reply to the
question by Mr. Murray, stated that the
affair took place in Dr. Winters' offioe
and that he was present and that the
three men (Dr. Winters, Mr. Wallace
and himself) had discussed the. matter
at length. *
“I am familiar with tfie matter ol
♦ he charges being withdrawn and
Chief Wallace’s words were to the ef
fect that lie had considered the mat
ter and had decided to hold up or with
draw the charges as to Ross, for
Ross was oife of the best officers he
had.”
Mr. Wallace was recalled to the
stand as Dr. Waller left it and as Dr.
Waller was leaving the room. Mr. Wal-i
lace called to him and asked that he
remain in the room as he (Wallace)
was going to deny the statement by Dr.
Waller.
“It makes absolutely no difference
to me what you say in the matter,” re
plied Dr. Waller and continued, “as far
as I am concerned, the matter is
closed.”
Unable to Resent Statement
Dr. Weller then addressed the chair
and stated that he wished to make a
statement to the committee.
"I rise to make a point of personal
privilege,” lie said. "All must admit that
I am not interested In this matter per
sonally and am not affected in any way,
and no matter what Mr. Wallace might
say, he Is an officer of the law and I
could not resent it. I thought at first
to ask a fav&r. ,qf Ah.g .committee and let
them swear me so that in case it was
denied 1 could go oi* record as having
iield up my right hand and sworn that
what I said was true. 1 reconsidered this,
however, but am willing to be sworn
now.”
| Mr. Perry stated that be would believe
Dr. Wallev whether he was sworn or not,
and Dr. Waller left the room.
The'first man called before the commit
ter in defense of the officers was G. F.

Blossom and Herbert
Have Scored Many Hits
HENRY BLOSSOM
Iftnfy Blossom, who, with Victor Her
bert, wrote “The Only Girl,” at the Jef
ferson tonight, has as many successes to
his credit as any dramatic author before
the public today. The combination be
tween Blossom and Herbert has been
unusually productive of hits. Blossom
began life as an Insurance solicitor In hie i
father’s office in Missouri and Ills first
appearance as a librettist was made In
1904 when. In conjunction with Alfred G.
Robyn, “The Yankee Consul” was writ
ten. Then began the famous •combination
between himself and ‘ Victor Herbert,
from which resulted “The Red Mill,”
written for Montgomery and Stone, and
“Mile. Modiste” and “The Prima Donna,”
for Frits! Scheff. After separating from
Victor Herbert, Mr. Blossom wrote “The
Slim Princess” for Elsie Jan is. for which
Leslie Btuart, composer of "FI or adorn, “
supplied the music. This was followed
by “All for the Ladles,” In which 8ain
Bernard starred, with music by Alfred G.
Robyn, his first collaborator. Then was
brought about the renewal of association
between Blossom and Herbert and its
resultant, “The Only Girl.” These two
authors are also at work upon a new
musical piece which they are writing for
Joe Weber.
Maddox and that in less than half an
hour Maddox was on the scene with a
man, and they stayed with him until
just before day. They left then and re
turned shortly after daylight and in less
than two hours had captured one negro
man and two negro women and recov
ered between $160 and $176 worfh of the
stolen goods. There was much other tes
timony by this man, w'ho regarded the
officers as being thoroughly competent .
men and to the length of his residence
In the city.
*On cross-examination Mr. Davidson
stated that he knew nothing of the spe
cific charges brought against the officers <
by the Jefferson <*ttunty grand jury. <
Denies Use of Spotter
Chief Wallace then took the stand and
denied that any corporation “spotters”
had been getting up information for the
prosecution. Mr. Perry took occasion here i
to state to Mr. Murray that if anyone had
told him that corporation “spotters” were t
getting up Information for Perry the in
formant was mistaken.
There were numerous questions asked j
Mr. Wallace about the number of arrests ,
he had made, and whether or not he ever
slept any In his office and court and .
whether or not he had failed to report ,
complattits made to him about favorites ,
on the force. • All of which Mr. Wallace
either answered or denied. He said that
it was his impression that the negroes of ’
this community were a bad lot. He re- .
called that there are now hanging in. the J
council chamber of the city hall a num- |

tarted to read a commuiieation from
krthur Jacobs, bearing on the character
J the man when Chairman Lacey stopped
dm with the remark that the committee
vas Sutlsflcd that the gentlemen who had
estifled up to this time were truthful and
hat he need not go further.
The next witness was Dr. M. C. Rags
ale, Jr., city physician, who testified that
e had never been called to the jail to
Ive medical assistance to men who had
een beaten np by the officers In an at
einpt to get a confession. He said ha

he hogs. Said at tho trial the negroes
pstifled that they had stolen the hogs
rid one of the negroes said that he had
hot them both. He also said that the
ion plead guilty to the charge.
Mr. Murray then called the names of
