That District Attorney Godwin of Baker county is endeavoring to summon Col. B. K. Lawson warden of the state penitentiary, before the grand jury in order that Attorney Nichols, Godwin's former law partner, may serve him with papers in civil suits brought by Nichols against the governor and Lawson, was the charge made today by Governor "West in a telegram to the foreman of the grand jury. , Several months ago the executive for warded to Circuit Judge Andorson, of Baker, obscene pictures, alleged to ha'e been found in a Copperfield saloon by Col LawM.n when he put Copperfield under martial law. Godwin summoned Lawson as a witness, and when he failed to appear telegraphed the execu tive yesterday for an explanation. The governor replied that Frank Snodgrass, a member f the military squad which raided the saloons would appear and testify. This brought back a wire from Bird Spaulding, foreman of the grnud jury, reading: "Grand jury docs not want Snodgiass. If Lawson cannot ap pear we will give your matter the con sideration it deserves," Warn Telegram Sent Today the governor sent a telegram charging that Godwin was cooperatiii! with his tenner law partner in an at tempt to obtain the service of civil pap era on Lawxm, and demanding to know why the evidence of Snodgrass would not be acceptable. The message was a follows: "Why doesn't grand jury want hear testimony Snodgrass 1 He is witness through whom this office expects to prove exhibition obscene pictures, by Copperfield saloons also fact that houses or prostitution were allowed to run widt open in Baker and that Godwin and Rand had full knowlodge of fact, hi line with his past conduct the using his office to aid Nichols attorney for pimps, j gambler and booze leddlers he wishes to have Lawson subpoenaed and brought to Baker at the expense of the tax pet ers of your county in order that Nichols may serve him with papers in civil act ion."

These suits were brought in Baker county, and according to the governor, if personal service cannot be obtained en Lawson in that county, the oases will have to be tried here. This, lie contents, the saloon men's lawyer is seeking to avoid, as his chances for obtaining a judgment before a Baker jury would be better than one in Mar ion coutty.
