Wood Removed From
Janitorial Payroll
LINCOLN, Nebr. July 15 — (Re
printed Prom The Lincoln Star)—
William Wood, veteran colored care
taker at the state executive mansion,
who has served continuously in that
capacity under all governors sines
1907, is tho latest victim of the per
sonal feud between Governor Bryan
and Land Commissioner Conklin,
growing out of the recent unsuccess
ful prosecution and ouster suit
brought against the latter.
Wood’s name was taken off the
regular janitor payroll for the capi
tol. by action of B. M. Johnson,
assistant custodian under Conklin,
and will no longer be paid $40 a
month salary in that capacity. This
leaves him still drawing $50 a month
out of the executive mansion main
tenance fund, which is under the
governor’s control. If he is to receive
the same pay as heretofore, Pryan
will have to make up the difference.
During Conklin’s recent trial, he
testified that Governor Bryan told
him Wood was a “pensioner” who had
become a fixture at the executive
mansion through many years of ser
vice, and it was that understanding
that Conklin continued to carry him
on the capitol payroll, although he
was not regularly employed there.
Wood was not called as a witness
in the Conklin case.

ALABAMA TO PROHIBIT
OUT OF STATE LAWYER
FROM PRACTICING
1 N STATE
BIRMINGHAM. Ala (CNS)—Aim
ed directly at the attorneys in the
“Scottsboro cases,” a bill to prohibit
attorneys not members of the Ala
bama bar from conducting cases in
the State courts, will soon be introduc
ed in the State Legislature.
Eugene Conner recently nominated
in the Democratic primary as repre
sentative from J.ffersson County has
announced his intention of sponsor
ing the legislation.
Conner who is seeking to gain roles
in the coming election on the strength
of the prejudices of a large element
of the State against the I. L. D. and
its attorn ys says:
The bill to prohibit attorneys not
members of the Alabama ga - from
conducting cases in the State courts
was aimed directly at the attorneys
in the “Scottsboro cases.” He point
ed out that none of the counsel re
tained by the International Labor
Defense is a member of the Alabama
bar.
The bill will be modeled after a
similiar statue now jn operation in
Ohio, under wtoch out of state attor
neys may sit at the counsel table, but
ar • not permited to conduct the act
ual proceedings, or to say anything
tc th« court.
A stay of execution has been grant
£d Ileywood Patterson and Clarence
Morris, two of the nine defendents
under sentences of death by the Ala
bama Supreme Court on receipt of
an application for rehearing for the
condemned men.
The court, in confirming the
sentnces on June 28, has fixed Aug
ust 31 as the date of execution, but
on receipt of the aplication for rehear
ing the sentences were stayed as the
court is in recess. Unless a special
session of the court is called, the mat
ter cannot be taken up until October
