"Voodoo" mayor impeached
Alabama official called too lenient
ANDALUSIA, Ala. — A jury yesterday浸andaled Florida MAYor H.T. Matthi on charges of neglect of duty and incompetence, removing him from an office he to publicize in a drunken suit to pardon scores of drunken drivers
The Associated Press
announced its verdict. His attorney, James Presswood, said he would seek a new trial for the mayor, who testified that he pardoned dozens of convicted offenders because he is "soft hearted."
The 85-year-old mayor ran out of the Covington County courtroom after the circuit court jury
After one hour of deliberation this morning, the jury ruled that Mathis should be removed from office for incompetence and negligence.
Prosecutive witnesses have depicted Mathis as a man who undermined the law by abusing his pardon power during the last four years. He is accused of pardoning more than 100 traffic offenders, including 27
drunken drivers.
But Mathis, taking the stand Tuesday to defend his performance in office, said that people came to him because of them. But that he was just trying to help them.
Florida is a town of about 5,000 on the Florida border 20 miles south of Anadama. Mathis drew national attention to the "National Voodoo Week" and his earlier purported attempt to scare the police chief by sprinkling so-called "voODOo powder" around his homes, where officers and down corridors to the jail.
Cross memorial must be removed, judge rules
WASHINGTON — A huge Christian cross is an inappropriate government war memorial at a Marine base in Hawaii, according to a federal judge who says a nonreligious monument would be more suitable.
The judge said the cross amounted to an unconstitutional endorsement of religion by the government. The cross was challenged by the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A.
U. S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan ruled Tuesday that the 65-foot wooden cross, which is lit each night at Camp H.M. Smith in the Honolulu suburbs on Oahu, must be removed or replaced by a secular symbol.
"The needless use of means that are inherently religious messes a mission entitlement likely if not unacceptable"
The Jewish veterans' group argued that the cross cannot be considered a secular object, because it is the "symbol of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."

The government argued during a hearing in May that the burden of purely a secular purpose of honoring Margaret Thatcher was too great.
The Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. contended in its lawsuit that the wood cross, located on a prominent point at the Marine base, violated the Constitution's ban on governmental endorsement of a particular religion.
