He came to Louisville about forty years ago and became interested in the Turner-Day Ax Handle Company, as a member of the firm. Later he was connected with the Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company, in the credit department. About six years ago failing health forced him to retire. He and his wife had been living at the home of Mrs. Annie Durff, 1924 Bardstown road.

Mr. Wells was a member of the Warren Memorial church, having served as a deacon for -a number of years. Although he never held any public office he took a keen interest in civic affairs and was a lifelong Democrat. Despite his illness he had been following closely all the affairs of President Wilson's Administration. His illness is attributed to a general breakdown.

He went to Madison August 1 in search of a cooler climate, believing that this would benefit him. Besides his wife, "'ho was Miss- Elizabeth Leech, oniy sister of James A.

Betty Dean Beauty Book, $5.00. PFLANZ IS AIR Judge Instructs Attorneys To Furnish Briefs. Will Hand Down Decision Few Days. In Foster, In Answer, Denies All Allegations.

MAKES COUNTER CHARGES Arguments were heard on a motion to strike from the contestant's petition all allegations that were, not specific and on a demurrer to the petition in the case of John R. Fflanz, contesting the nomination of Charles C. Foster for Jailer on the Democratic ticket In the primary election, August 2, by Judge Gordon yesterday, and the case was taken under advisement. Judge Gordon Instructed the attorneys to furnish him with briefs by this morning, and said he would give a decision within a few days. At the same time Attorneys Edward P.

Humphrey and W. Crawford, for Foster, without waiving their rights as to the motion to strike and demur, filed an answer to Pfianz's petition, in which a general denial of Pfianz's allegations of fraud are made, and counter-charges of a similar nature arc preferred against the plaintiff. The answer charges that frauds were committed in several of the county precincts in the interest of Pfianz's candidacy. Motion To Quash Overruled. The courtroom was crowded with spectators.

As soon as court convened Mr. Humphrey, in behalf of Mr. Foster, moved that the court quash the service of the notice on 'the defendant, Foster, on the ground that it was not properly made, as directed by statute. Mr. Humphrey argued that the notice of contest, as given by Pfianz to Foster, was served by II.

Mussell-man, a deputy constable, when it should have been served by the Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff or Coroner, as a is an officer -of an inferior court. Judge Gordon held that the notice was legally served, and he overruled the motion to quash. On lotion To Strike. W. Crawford made an argument at length on the motion to strike and on the demurrer to the petition which was filed.

He argued that under the law allegations in cases of this character must be specific and that the plaintiff must designate the persons in each instance where fraud is alleged either in votiner wrone-fiillv nr in n.nv instance of irregularity on the part of election officers. Mr. Crawford argued that, according to the figures of the piamtirr, aDout votes' of the plain tiff were invalidated, which he said would not change the status of the result. He quoted numerous decisions in election contest cases decided by the Court of Appeals, and contended that the petition of Pfianz was insufficient. Gigantic Under raking.

Burwell K- Marshall, in behalf of the contestant, said that the contesting of an election was a gigantic undertaking and that the contestant was bound to be general in his allegations. He said fraud was charged, and it would be necessary to open the ballot boxes to unearth it- The statute provides that the contestant should merely give a Laiement oi tne grounds or nts con test, he said. Mr. Marshall declared the contestee naa no rigni under the Jaw to file an answer, but could only controvert. He said the attorneys for the defendant naa no authority to make a motion to strike or file a demurrer, but could only move that the plaintiff make his petition more specific.

One could not tell how many' fraudulent votes were cast until the ballot boxes were opened, he said, adding that in all fairness there was nothing to be done but to order the ballot boxes opened so that the ballots might be examined. Xo Change In Result. The argument was bv Mr. Humphrey, who declared that Mr. Marshall apparently was anxious to get a peep into the ballot boxes.

He said Mr, Marshall knew he had no case so far. He declared that no one could allege fraud in general terms, and that the court could hold the petition insufficient. Mr. Humphrey quoted from Judge Smith's opinion, in the case of w. l.

Weller contesting the nomination of J. Muenninghoff for nomination. Judge Smith held, said the attorney, that a petition was insufficient unless names were specified. Mr. Humphrey said in the answer to Pfianz's petition specific instances of alleged fraud were cited.

He argued that according to the figures of the plaintiff only 210 votes were illegal and this, he said, would not affect the result. Mr. Foster's Answer. In his answer Mr. Foster makes a sweeping denial of all charges of fraud as alleged by Mr.

Fflanz. He asserts he has no knowledge of any person fraudulently voting for him. Mr. Foster charges tftat Mr, Pfianz has been benefited in the election through fraud perpetrated In his behalf. He asks that he be adjudged the nominee for jailer and that he be credited with votes which he should 'have received, but which were not counted for him.

He asks that all votes fraudulently AMUSEMENTS. Week Commencing Sunday Matinee Aug 4 THE CALL OF THE HEART SEAT SALE OPENS TO-IAV PRICES Suoday Matinee JOc. 25c, 35c. 50c. Popular Trice Matinees Tuesday.

In a statement issued last night following the filing by Charles C. Foster of his answer to John R. Pfianz's contest over the primary nomination for Jailer, Jailer Pfianz said he believed it the duty of the Mayor and the Board of Public Safetv, as well as other city officials, to see that persons guilty of fraud in city primaries are ferreted out and punished. His statement follows: "Mr. Foster's charges in his petition filed to-day are ridiculous In the extreme, as everyone knows that the election officers, or a majority of these officers, were selected and instructed by the Democratic City and County Executive Committee and the powers, and, therefore, could not have been for me after these instructions, as every member of the committee was opposed to me.

"Mr. Foster alleges and charges in his petition fraud in numerous precincts throughout the city and county the very things that I contended against in my petition filed several days since. An examination of his counter-charges will show that the allegations made by Mr. Foster are almost Identical with those which were made in myv contesting petition last week. is to be understood by the allegations he makes that fraud docs did exist, take place and occur In the late primary on August 2.
