Alabama state and federal officials announce shipment of certified and accredited bees to East and Northern markets for the first time, with beekeepers preparing their apiaries to meet queen and related requirements in March.
Seth P. Storrs grants apiary division authority to issue certificates to beekeepers meeting rules and regulations. Certificates state that the apiaries of John Doe are inspected and free of contagious disease, bees and queens are pure as advertised, and all requirements for accreditation are complied with by the Department of Agriculture and Industries.
Thomas L. Hutchings of Sumter testifies about manipulating seed loan funds and receipts creating payments never made. He describes meetings with Hag Witherington and Charlis Co. McArthur, detailing written receipts for loans to McArthur, his son Willis McArthur, W. W. Woford, tenant W. F. Rolling, and others during 1931.
Witness Hutchings testified about misappropriated funds tied to cotton deliveries and loans. He identified Mullins as a tax collector involved, described selling 38 bales to cover loans, and claimed C C McArthur and Witherington helped him obtain cash to cover Alabama, Georgia, and Florida loans while destroying Columbia seed loan office records.
Hutchings testified about a prior conversation with Richard Ramsey of Dothan as Sollie sought access to Columbia records. The government kept objections on irrelevancy. Under Mulkey’s cross examination Hutchings admitted telling Lewis that the “whole trouble” lay in the Columbia office and that a Tuesday claim was untrue.
