CONVICTED; SENTENCE IS pmsojm LIFE Convicted Woman Emotionless When Sentenced-Her Young Daughter Sobs Aloud and Clings to Mother BY HAROLD W. BOSS, Journal Staff Correspondent. MILLEN, Ga., Sept. 13.—Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee was found guilty at 0:10 o’clock this morning of murdering Mrs. Florence Godbee, the wife of her divorced husband, Judge Walter S. God bee, whom she also shot and killed in the postoffice here on August 18. Mrs. Godbee was sentenced within two minutes after the verdict was ren dered. With remarkable composure she stood up while Judge Hammond pro nounced the words committing her to the state prison “for the rest of her natural life.” Mrs. Godbee exhibited no emotion when Foreman Samuel Palmer read the decision of the twelve men. She was the same stoic woman who has viewed impassively the legal battle over her life and freedom for the last two days. Her daughter, Sarah, was the only ane in the entire court room to brearf down. When the verdict was announced she broke into audible sobs. Her slen der form shook. She placed her head on her mother’s shoulders and gave way to her emotion. WILL MOVE NEW TRIAL. Attorney Saffold announced after the verdict that he would immediately file a motion for a new trial. Mrs. Godbee was returned to the coun ty jail at 9:30 o’clock. She went in an automobile with two of her sisters and her daughter. The latter asked permis sion of the sheriff to remain in the local jail with her mother until she is taken to the pentientiary. It was granted. Rumors that a verdict had been reach ed during the night brought more than a thousand persons to the court room Friday morning. Every seat was taken. The Jury was given the case at 8:18 o’clock Friday night and deliberated over the woman slayer’s fight in their rooms until 10 o’clock. The talsmen continued the debate in the hotel where they were quartered until after mid night. Early this morning the debate was renewed and it is said the jury stood eleven to one for conviction with a recommendation for mercy, when the remaining juror was won over after half an hour’s argument in the court house. DROP SECOND INDICTMENT? Mrs. Godbee probably will never bo tried on the second indictment against her, charging the murder of Judge Wal ter S. Godbee. She shot him down at same time she killed the woman for whose death she was convicted of mur der. The double tragedy occurerd in the Millen postoffice August 18. Friday afternoon was given over to arguments of Solicitor General Robert Lee Moore and Attorney Saffold of the defense. These were concluded at 6:15 o’clock and a recss for supper was or dered by the judge. When court re- convened Judge Hammond read his charge and committed Mrs. Godbee’s fate to the.keeping o? tTTe jury. Attorney Saffold announced at noon that he will file a. skeleton motion for a new trial Friday afternoon. He did not know the specific grounds he would name. “1 have not yet seen the judge’s charge, he said. Attorney Saffold was not present when Judge Hammond charged the jury Thursday night. Ex hausted m a.fter his long argument he re tired immediately after supper. “WOMAN OF GREAT NERVE.” The defense lawyer said, however, that he thought there was sufficient grounds for a new trial. “Mrs. God bee is hopeful, as am I,” he remarked. •'She is a woman of great nerve.” Solicitor General Robert Lee Moore said: “The jury did its righteous duty. 1 have no doubt the jury did not like their task. I did not like mine. I tried to. I gave her the benefit of every doubt. She has had a fair and impartial trial. “It Is such juries as this that pre serve the peace. The United States needs more like it. Mrs. Godbee killed with malice and premeditation. To set her free would have been to encour age crime. Her conviction will have a powerful influence for good.” Solicitor Moore said that the second indictment against Mrs. Godbee accus ing her of the murder of Judge Godbee Will oe dropped if the decision in this case stands. He will oppose every ef fort of the defense to gain a new trial or a reversal. He Is confident that the higher courts will find no flaw in the procedure in this trial, however. Jealous of Younger Woman, Says Solicitor in Closing Mrs. Edna P. Godbee should be adjudg ed guilty of the murder of her divorced husband’s bride, Mrs. Florence Godbee, as an example to the coming genera tion, Robert Lee Moore, solicitor gen eral, told the jury in his summing up of the argument yesterday afternoon. “The law makes no distinction be tween a man and a woman,” he said. “It is your duty to convict her be cause she killed Judge Godbee and Ills wife with malice aforethought. She was jealous of the younger woman. This crime was planned the coolest of any I have ever seen. It was carried out with deliberation. “You’ve got to stand an example for the youth of the land. You’ve got to let your children know that that com mandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill,' means something—'that tne government, the law and the church stand for some thing. You have to convict for the “It’ll Come Out All Right,” Says Mrs. Godbee as She Soothes Sobbing Daughter “I Care Nothing for My Own Life and Freedom,” She; Cries—“I Wanted Acquittal i for My Children’s Sake,” Convicted Woman Least Af fected Person in Court BY HAROLD W. BOSS. Journal Staff Correspond e nt. MILLEN, Ga., Sept. 15.—Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee was the most impassive woman in the court room when she heard the verdict of the jury finding her guilty of murder and a minute later stood before Judge H. C. Hammond and heard him sentence her to the state pen itentiary for the rest of her natural life. Of the thousand present she seem ed the least affected. Her face was a mask. If she she felt any pang of re gret, any remorse or resentment,‘it was not mirrored there. Her daughter, Sarah, a school girl, broke into sobs which echoed through the breathless room; her’sisters and cousins and other relatives sighed— tears came to the eyes of some. But Mrs. Godbee never flinched. When the jury of hard-fisted farm ers filed into* the jury box she turned her gaze on them. She did not re move her eyes until Foreman Samuel Palmer handed the sealed verdict to Sheriff M. G. Johnson. Then she gazed stoically on him while he read, “We, the jury, find the defend ant guilty with a recommendation for a life sentence.” Not a word was spoken for perhaps half a minute. Judge Hammond broke the silence. “Stand up, Mrs. Godbee,” he said. When the woman coolly arose to her feet he continued: “The jury has found you guilty, Mrs. Godbee. They recom mend a life sentence. It is now my duty to 'pass sentence upon you. I hereby sentence you to prison for the remainder of your natural life.” IT’LL BE ALL RIGHT, SHE SAYS. Mrs. Godbee bowed her head. It was a nod of assent. She sat down. Her daughter, from her seat beside the con victed woman, threw her arms around her mother’s neck and broke into audible sobs. The pretty girl’s head was press ed to Mrs. Godbee’s breast. Her slen der form shook convulsively. Calmly the mother stroked the girl’s blond hair. She patted her face. •“It will come out all right in the end, Sarah,” she said, softly. Other women clustered about the woman slayer. TJiey spoke words of sympathy and encouragement. The court machinery was stilled mo mentarily. The court and jury became restless. They appeared embarrassed. After a minute Judge Hammond turned to the jury. “Gentlemen, you may now be dismiss ed.” he said, “the state of Georgia thanks you for your faithful service.” To sheriff he said: “Take charge of the prisoner.” GREETS HER FRIENDS. Mrs. Godbee was taken to the jail in an automobile. In the tonneau with her were Sarah Godbee and two of Mrs. Godbee’s sisters. Half a hundred wom en followed in automobiles, buggies and afoot. In the dining room of the coun ty prison, Mrs. Godbee remained to re ceive her friends. All morning and into the afternoon friends came and went. There was never less than twenty with her. Mrs. Godbee was taken to the court room before the verdict at 8:30 o’clock. In the half hour that Intervened be tween then and the time cf the verdict Solictior General Moore was busy mak ing motions in other cases pending be fore the court. Surrounded by her friends and at torneys, Mrs. Godbee spoke little and evidenced no interest in the proceedings. She was dressed entirely in white, and wore a Panama hat with a blue ribbon. Her daughter, too, was in white. “NOTHING FOR PUBLIC.” After the verdict Mrs. Godbee denied herself to reporters. “I have nothing to say to the public.” She said to one of her sisters: “My life and freedom mean nothing to me personally. For twenty years I have been unhappy. As long as I live it will be that way. Only for my children did I live in the past, and it was only for them I wanted an acquittal.” “Thank God!” Cries Dead Woman’s Mother When She Hears Mrs. Godbee’s Fate IMUTED BODY OF SIG TIM SULLIH FOIMDJN MORGUE Congressman Who Disappear ed Mysteriously From His Brother’s Home Met Death at Pelham Parkway Mrs, M, G, Boyer, Mother of Mrs, Florence Godbee, One of Mrs, Edna Godbee’s Vic tims, Hears News of Verdict While in Bed, Suffering From Nervous Breakdown . by HAROLD W. ROSS, Journal Staff Correspondent. MILLEN, Ga., Sept. 15.—On the verge of a nervous breakdown, Mrs. M. G. Boyer, mother of Mrs. Florence God bee, who came from Williamsport, Pa., Whiskey Costs Only 12c a Gallon t Kansas City Man Has Published a Book, Giving the Formula by Which the Whiskey Trust Makes Thetr $5 Per Gallon Whiskey Por Only 12c Per Gallon. Fights the Whiskey Trust By Mailing His Bo^k Containing Formula Free To Every One. Mr. Marcel, located at 652 Broadway, Kansas, City, Mo., has published a book entitled “Se crets of the Whiskey Trust Exposed’’ and “Why Is Marcel a Socialist;” in which he shows how the whiskey trust takes a bushel ©f corn, a pinch of barley malt, a penny’s worth of yeast, and makes five gallons of whis key at a total cost of less than 50c: and then sells it at from four to five dollars a-gallon. He explains how the whiskey barons make their millions and shows who pays for their mansions and automobiles. The book is a fascinating etory of a great crime against the consumers ©f whiskey. Mr. Marcel is mailing out thousands of these books exposing the secrets of the whiskey trust on account of the Trust’s fight against him. Aoy one interested should write for the book, as it will be sent free. moral good it will do In preventing other crimes. That is the purpose of all human punishment.” Solicitor Moore called the courts of the United States “too lax.” The only country to compare with it, he said, is Italy, the home of the hot-headed Ital ian. “In this country, we have 115 homi cides to every million inhabitants an nually. In Germany there are -3; in France 19; in Great Britain 27. We have got to go to the hot-headed Ital ians to find a parallel. There are 105 murders every year for every million inhabitants.” Crytng out that Mrs. Godbee must be punshed, Solicitor Moore finished his argument for the state. LAWYERS TAKEN TO TASK While dwelling upon every one of the details in the statement of Mrs. Godbee and the testimony of other wit nesses Attorney Saffold made an elo quent appeal for the life and freedom of his client. He overlooked nothing that would throw a favorable light on her. Two interruptions occurred in his speech. Twice defense's attorney retort ed to remarks he made. On the second occasoin Judge Hammond reprimanded the speaker and Attorneys Moore and Anderson for their conduct. The first occurred when Saffold made the assertion that Judge Godbee must have been on the left of his wife when Mrs. Edna Godbee began firing on the day of the tragedy. “There is nothing in the evidence to substantiate that,” said Davis. “I’m going to prove it by physical facts,” retorted the speaker. “I beg your pardon then,” said Davis. “You’re always begging my pardon,” cried the defense’s lawyer. “I’ll par don you this time, but the next time it occurs I'm going to ask the judge to put you in jail.” The second interruption occurred when Attorney Saffold attacked the mo tives of the state’s representatives. “Moore talks about the state of Geor gia, his duty and justice,” he said. “I wonder where he would be if there wasn’t a few in it. I wonder why An derson here and Davis over there ar* doing their duty to the state of Georgia so strenuously? “I’m here because I got a good fat fee,” spoke up the former. Davis remarked: “I am here for the same reason you are.” “I though tso,” replied Saffold, “for the money that’s in it.” There was repartee which was inter rupted by Judge Hammond. He took 1 the attorneys to task for their actions. DEFENSE CLOSES. Addressing the members of the jury .ndividually, occasionally calling two of them by name, Attorney Saffold asked for an aacquittal. “I ask no mercy,” he cried. “All I want is justice. I repre sent a woman who has always cherished her children and made sacrifices for them, and a woman who died defending her life.” During the attorney’s final appeal Mrs. Godbee and her daughter, Sarah, broke into tears. It was the first time either had succumbed to emotion/ Turning to the girl at her mother’s side just before he concluded, Attorney Saffold said: “Sarah, you have stayed night after night with your mother. If there is a miscarriage of justice here follow what she has taught you to your grave, let her be your model. Then you will go to heaven, where fathers with automobiles and money do not attempt to alienate daughters from their mothers.” Attorney Saffold completed his speech at 6:15 o’clock. The back of his alpaca coat was wet with perspiration. Judge Hammond immediately an nounced a recess till 7:30 o’clock. to hear the trial of her daughter’s slay er, was unable to be in court when the verdict of guilty was rendered. She was confined to her room in the Estelle hotel. Her son, G. W. Boyer, who was at the court house when the decision was returned, ran two blocks to her room with the news. “Thank God!” she cried, and broke into tears. It was not until afternoon that her son would consent for her to be interviewed and he allowed report ers only five minutes with her then. Mrs. Boyer was in bed. She said that her illness was only temporary and trivial. “I have had so little sleep lately that I am just worn, that is all. The trial was a severe ordeal to me.” She was satisfied with the verdict. “It was a terible thing, this woman killing my daughter. I had seen Flor ence go away happy wtih Mr. Godbee. It was the desire of my life to see her well married and happy before I died. She wrote, telling me of her home here and how contented she was. She loved Judge Godbee. “And then she was killed. I could hardly believe the news when I heard it. To think that my little girl—she was always my little girl to me—was dead, was awful. It was the horror of my life. I think the jury did right in giving Mrs. Godbee a life sentence. She should be taken out of the world. I did not want to see her hung.” Throughout the trial Mrs. Boyer and her son have set beside the prosecu tion attorneys. They have said little. Mrs. Boyer’s sickness is not regarded as serious. She expects to be able to return to her home in Pennsylvania on Sunday. BUTTER WAITING FOR TARIFF TO BE PASSED (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept 15.—Butter from Siberia and Australia is here in bond waiting to make its debut into the American market along with Argentina beef, which is soon expected. A full thousand firkins of the Sibe rian product—firkins weighing about 144 pounds each—are stored in warehouses waiting the passage of the new tariff bill, which would reduce the present 6- cent tariff on buter to 2 1-2 cents. Delivered into the refrigerators the Siberian butter has cost 20 5-8 cents a pound and adding the tax under the proposed tariff it would come to the dealer at 23* 1-8 cents, said to be about 5 cents under the prevailing prices for butter "of similar grade from domestic dairies. Some of the experts declare that the Siberian product is as good as the best domestic butter. A smaller quantity of Australian butter and also a little from Canada also is here in bond awaiting tne opening of the gate into the Amer ican market. The Joy Of A.

NEW YORK, Sept 15.—“Big Tim” Sullivan, the New York politician, who rose from newsboy to congressman, is dead. His mangled body was identified to day bj r his step-brother, Larry Mulligan, after it had laid for thirteen days In a local morgue. Sulliavn, who was ill, eluded his nurses in the early morning of August 31, and a few hours after was struck and killed by a train at Pelham Park way. THE IDENTIFICATION. With no identifying marks on the clothing or articles in the pockets the body lay in Fordham morgue for thir teen days awaiting identification. This morning it was sent to Bellevue morgue. There was stationed Peter Purfield, a policeman who had known “Big Tim’ Sullivan and liked him before his mind became clouded Something about the expression of the features stirred Pur- field’s memory. By and by, after he had pondered an hour or so Purfield remark ed to a reporter: “That looks a little bit like ‘Big Tim.’ ” Peering long at the mutilated and discolored face, the reporter thought so, too. The telephone brought “Bi Tim’s” east side friends in groups to the morgue, but none recognized in the chan jed features the man they had known in his prime Larry Mulligan, Sullivan’s step-brother, was summon ed. He looked at the face once and turned away. “It’s ‘Big Tim,’ ” he said. “Big Tim” met his death two hours or less after he had wandered out into the night from the home of his broth er, Patrick, at Williams bridge. The neighborhood is sparsely settled there, and Sullivan had but a dollar in his pocket. He struck out across the fields for the railroad, apparently with the thought in mind that he would take a train for New York and revisit his former cronies on the east side. Pelham Parkway station lay not far away. It is possible that Sullivan saw its lights and made it his immediate destination. In any event, his body was found at 4 o’clock in the morning near the tracks by a policeman. It was taken to the Fordham morgue. HIS MIND CLOUDED. For many months “Big Tim’s” mind had been under a cloud. Elected to con gress last fall he had never taken his seat because of this trouble. A com mission was appointed to administer the affairs of his large estate and to look after his person. Last May “Big Tim” was taken to Europe, in the hope that the ocean voyage and a trip on the continent would restore him to health. When he came back, however, his friends saw little improvement in his condition. He was taken to the Williams bridge home of his brother and three male nurses were employed to guard him. Once he eluded them and went back to^the east side. He remained there but a few hours until his nurses were notified and he was again under surveil lance. On the night he last disappeared, Sul livan sat up till 2 o’clock playing pinochle. Two of the nurses went to bed at midnight, leaving the third to continue the game. The third nurse be came drowsy; “Big Tim” did not. When the nurse finally slumbered “Big Tim” crept noiselessly out of the house and went to his death.

Mr. McAneny was quick to decline the designation as head of the old Gaynor ticket.

A child in the coun try, a few miles from town, was out in the yard playing when it was heard crying as if in pain. The mother went to see what was the matter, when she found the little fellow witn an old hub iron jDand, nearly two inches broad and more than an eighth of an inch thick, around the child’s neck, and try as she could it could not be removed. The child had evidently been playing with the band and put it on its head and pulled it down around the neck. The little one was brought to a doc tor who placed the band, child and all, in a vice. He pressed the band into an oblong shape and it was easily lifted off. The child was not hurt, except the little soreness caused by pressure try ing to remove the band. Two Killed, Six Hurt.

The club will undertake to ad vertise the truck crops and have buy ers here at the marketing season, or arrange for the handling of the truck. The voluntary action of the Farmers' union in encouraging this project is very gratifying and assures the success of the movement in a big way. At the regular meeting at which this movement was officially sanctioned, the; union also passed a resolution calling for a course in our public schools teach-j ing the fundamentals of agriculture. 1 Another important plan was discussed,: that of developing the woman’s depart ment of the union looking to the or ganizing of the farm women for the improvement of their homes and in creasing their opportunities.
