The Marion Circuit Court declines to vacate the bench amid allegations that Judge Thurman biased against local option enforcement. The affidavit accuses officials of arresting opponents to intimidate voters, but the judge is said to have acted within oath and law, with no direct proof of prejudice or misconduct.
Jeff Henry testifies at Taylor Circuit Court about a trial of the Adams Express Company for furnishing whisky to a minor. He details agents Mrs Murray and her husband, merchant witnesses, and the judge’s refusal to grant a peremptory instruction of guilty. the jury found the defendant guilty and no appeal was sought.
Affiant notes that since Judge Thurman presided in the Taylor Circuit Court only one case against Adams Express Company and Murray or G V Murray went to jury. He states the 1905 case No. 712 involved liquor law provisions and not local option, with the judge denying a peremptory instruction and the jury returning a guilty verdict. Further affidavits by R L Durham and others corroborate proceedings and said judge’s stance in that trial.
