Talmadge “Muffed” Contest,
Officials Believe
“Former 'Governor Eugene Tal-
mdige muffed his primary contest by
failure to name specific ‘in detail’
violation of election law.”
This was the opinion of a number
of members of the Atlanta Bar As
sociation and political figures seen
Monday in Atlanta after they had
been shown a copy of one of the Tal-
madige contests.
It was the unanimous opinion the
contest as filed does not come within
the requirements of the statute cov
ering contests nor under the rules.
The former 'Governor’s charges all
were general. While not all contests
are as yet on record, it was apparent
the same contest was filed in all, or
most counties. Many of them were
canbon copies.
The statute and the rules require
specific instances of rule and' legal
violations.

Editor Butler Herald:
I want to express to you and thru
you to the people of your community
and the entire state my gratitude
and thanks for their support in the
recent Democratic Primary.
I would like to write a personal
letter to each of my friends through
out Georgia, but this is impractical
and I trust that you and each of them
will consider this a personal message.
I will never .be able to repay the debt
of gratitude that I owe the people
of Georgia. I have not considered
myself worthy of the great response
and support given our cause, but the
cause itself brought it forth and
justifies it. I am profoundly grateful.
Won’t you kindly publish this
short letter in the colunms of your
newspaper as my expression of
gratitude to my loyal friends
throughout the State?
Sincerely,
WALTER F. GEORGE.

for Dougherty county officers.
Sheriff O. F. Tarver of Dougherty
county said the two victims had
been identified as Walter Moree, 33,
Worth county farmer, and Mrs. Ern
est Aultman, wife of a Doughe.tjr
county farmer.
The sheriff said a youth known to
him only by the name of Hewitt dis
covered the bodies in a clump of
trees near a little-used country road
about two miles west of Albany. Ho
said the woman had been shot or.ee
in the back of the head with a pistol
and the man had been struck by four
pistol bullets and a shotgun, blast.
Sheriff Tarver reported the bodies
were found about 10:30 a, m. and
that the couple appeared to have beea
killed a short time previously.
Several hours later, the officer said
tonight, the husband of the dead
woman was arrested and placed in
the Dougherty county jail on a
warrant charging murder.
The officer declared the husband
was arrested after a report that he
had been looking for hto wife, in
Albany Saturday night,. AuUir.an
maintained his innocence and denied
nny -knowledge of the slaying, Sher
iff Tarver said.
Mrs. Aultman’s body was sprawled
across the back seat of an automo
bile identified as Moree’s, the sheriff
stated. She was face down and was
short distance from tho car.
The officer said Moree had fallen
partly under the car. Oqq pjBtol bul
let had entered over the' left eye
and the shotgun charge, apparently
fired from close range,' had entbred
the chest. Both apparently hud died
instantly.
No weapons were found at the
scene, the officer declared. He re
ported the woman’s body was clad
only in underwear and that the was
was fully clothed.
Investigators reported no sign of
a struggle at the scene, but a purse
which the woman was reported to
have been carrying was* not found
and pockets in the maic'a clothing
were turned out.
Papers on which appeared the name
of the woman’s husband, as well as
two shotgun shells from which load*
had been fired were found at the
scene, Sheriff Tarver said.
Mrs. Aultman to survived by hej
husband and two small doughters;
Moree, by his wife and a seven-year
old son.
Shocked Mate Freed in Dougherty
Murder Inquest
Albany, Sept. 19.r—The grief shcc’.c-
ed and sobbing husband of Mr*.
Billie Aultman, whose slip-clad- bullet
punctured 'body was found on a lone
ly road near that of Walton Moree,
neighbor, yesterday, was re leaked
by Dougherty County Sheriff 0. T.
Tarver late Monday after Aultman
established a near iron-clad alibi at
an inquest Monday afternoon.
Testimony at the coroner’s inquest
which lasted nearly all afternoon in
dicated that robbers rather than an
outraged husband accounted for the
double slaying.
Ernest Aultman, Dougherty county
farmer and the woman victim’s hus
band, through witnesses accounted
for every minute of hia time from
early Saturday evening until he went
home after an unsuccessful search
for his wife. He proved that he had
no way of getting back to town.
Visibly shaken by the death of hi*
wife, Aultman sobbed audibly
throughout the hearing and had to
be taken away in an ambulance at
its conclusion.
