Brandon of Alabama Wednesday was saved from going on trial on a charge of violating the prohibition law when it was announced that Henry Hudson, Negro, would plead fUilty to a charge of possession of thirteen quarts of whiskey found in a raid on a fishing cabin where the governor was staying yesterday. The governor and eight compan ions were arrested in the rain Mon day and Solicitor Herbert C. Hall when advised Wednesday that some one would plead guilty, announced that all charges against other mem bers of the party were dropped. It Was Terrible Surprise. To the remark of the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina there may now be added in the annals of Americans what the governor of Alabama said to his Negro cook. For Hudson was the cook of the fishing party. The thirteen quarts of liquor, con fiscated when three deputies walked in upon a poker game in a fishing cabin where the governor and his friends were enjoying an outing. probably will not be returned to Henry. The white folks in the party said they were certainly surprised when the deputies discovered the whiskey in the cabin. In fact, you could have knocked the governor over with a feathei when he was confronted with the fact that several partly full and more unopened whiskey bottles were right there at his elbow, and he hadn't noticed them, being engrossed in the poker game. Elected by Church Vote. It then developed that the trem bling, abashed Henry, whose mas ter was elected governor by the church vote on an extremely dry platform, owned the liquor. The three deputies sniffed, with a suggestion of incredulity. In fact they arresfed Brandon and his friends and the fishing trip was a complete flop. Now, however, the authorities realize that of course Brandon and his companions couldn't have owned the whiskey, and that, no doubt, the Negro cook was quite right when he claimed it as his property.
