RELATI\ E OF CORONER Paul T. Donehoo is twenty years old For a long time he worked at the South- , era shops, but according to his family he had been out of work for the last three weeks and was doing odd jobs at the office of Coroner Paul Donehoo. of whom he is a distant relative. Mrs. Don- ■ ehoo, whom he married last October 21, was Miss Sarah McClellan, of Marietta. They had been living on Whitehall street unti la-week* ago, when they moved to Ridgeway avenue, near the home of Mrs Doneaoo s sister, Mrs. W. F. Qjieen. Goroon* Yeakey is a plumber. Ha is twenty-one years old and lives at 79 Mc- Afee street. His sister. Miss Lily V *sfrev is now at the Grady hospital. Che is said to have known both Paul T. Donehoo and his wife for nearly two years. Mrs Donehoo's story of the shooting and the events which led up to it, as ♦ old to Roy Donehoo. the undertaker., Tuesday night, is as follows: “I introduced Paul to Lily Yeakey. ’ Th-tt was tn the summer of 1915. when lily an <j 1 were working for the John I tv. Moore Optical company. 1 was go- Lne with Paul then and Lily said she ■ranted to meet that good looking fel ■ow of mine ' 1 told her all right, that FwojM introduce her to Paul. . ■ “After that Paul u«ed to tell me that ■ .ily was all the time calling him up Kt his work and wanting him to come ■«. see her. He thought It was a great K>ke. but he said he wished she wouldn’t ■other him. Lily told me once that she Kas 'kind of crazy about* Paul, but I K>ok it as a joke. too. “Last summer Paul told me one day Bnrr-L'iv had called him over the tele phone and proposed to him. He said Fhe had told her jokingly that he would ' marry hes if she ‘got his father's con sent' Bet she took him at his word and called up Paul's father and asked him for his son. Paul's father told her not to -be * foolish and hung up. But Lily kept on telephoning Paul and one •lav she told me it wouldn't be long before she and Paul were married. Then • (•told her she had the wrong idea, that I was going to marry Paui myself. “I married him in October. The next day Lily called Paul up and she has kept on calling him up ever since. A few weeks ago her brother began to bother. Paul, threatening to have a war rant taken out aeainst him for break ing his 'promise' to his sister. Pau! didn't pay any attention to him until Monday night, when he came out to the house and wanted to talk to him. They talked outside for a few minutes and when Paul came back I saw that he was worried. I ' said. "What's the matter. honeyT and he told me. ‘O. nothing, just those people b'vher'nc me again.* 'Tuesday afternoon Pau! and I went up town. We-came home about 6 o'clock. Gordon Yeakey was on the car. so I told Paul we'd get off a block'be fore we got to the house and witch Yeakey and see what he did. We stoo ped at Paul’s sister's, a block this side of our house, while Yeakey went on “We stayed at Mrs* Queens’ a few minutes Paul asked her to come on home with us. but she wouldn't. We went to our house and found the door open, although I had shut everything up when we left early in the afternoon We went back to Mrs. Queens' and asked her if anybody had been the»4 that aft ernoon. She said, 'yes.' but she thought it was vs. She went back with us to our house. “A little while later, about 7 o’clock, there was a knock at the door. Mrs. Queens answered it and said Yeakey was there asking to see Mr. Donehoo. Paul went to the front door. “♦Good evening.' said Paul. 'Goon evening.' said Yeakey They looked like they didn’t want to talk before us Yea key said. 'I want to see you.' and Paul said. 'Well, suppose you see me down town tomorrow. I'll meet you.’ 'No? said Yeakey. You can pay me that now.' like it wa« a money matter he had come to see Paul about. I think he wanted to make me and Mrs. Queens think that way. Pnul kept on telling him that he would see him downtown, but Yeakey wouldn't have ft that way. THE SHOOTING. “Finally Yeakey said. 'l'm going to r close this right now.' He s’epped off the porch into the yard and said. 'Paul, come, on out here.' 'No.' said Paul.

The county police were notified of the shooting. They began a search for Yeakey and arrested him later in the evening on the Howell Mill road. He was taken to the Tower. There Wednesday morning he reiter ated to newspaper men the statement he made Tuesday night, that he shot Don ehoo because he had wronged his sis ter. Mrs. Donehoo was seen Wednesday morning at the Wesley Memorial hos pital and confirmed to a Journal re porter her statement to Roy Donehoo. She was pacing up and down the corri dor outside her husband’s room, but she was cool and collected. , “They won't let me talk to him,” she said, “but I can go in and look at him and he can look at me. I don't believe Paul did that girl any wrong and I am going to stick by him. It's a wife’s duty and besides. I love him.” Miss Lily Yeakey, at Grady hospital, told a Journal reporter Wednesday morn ing that she had been engaged to marry Paul Donehoo since last July, that the wedding was set for October 25. and that the Friday night before Donehoo's mar. riage to the McClellan girl, he came to see her and broke the news. “I didn't make a scene when he told me he was under obligations to marry the other girl, though I was deeply hurt.” said Miss Yeakey. She was but slightly agitated as she talked. “I was living then with Mrs. Abe Massar. of 238 West Fourteenth street, where I had been staying for about two years. She knew my condition and when I became worse last Sunday, she told my sister, Eva, about it. Eva-told Gor don. Sunday night Gordon cam,e to see me, and I told him all about me and Paul. “He had a long pistol with him. He said he didn’t know Paul Donehoo, but he was going out to find him. I begged him not to, for I didn’t want to see Paul hurt, whether he deserved it or not. That night Gordon took me to the hospital. “My mother, Mrs. A. L. Yeakey, came to see me Tuesday afternoon and told me then that Gordon was looking for Paul, but I didn't see Gordon any more after Sunday night, when I pleaded with him to let Paul alone, and I didn't know anything about the shooting until this morning. I wish you would tell me about Gordon. Was he hurt? Was there a fight? Is he in jail?" Mrs. A. R. Yeakey. mother of Gordon and Lily, was seen at her home "on Mc- Afee street by a Journal reporter and confirmed her daughter’s story of her .engagement to Paul Donehoo. “Paul never came to our house.” said Mrs. Yeakey. "He used to go to see Lily at Mrs. Masser’s home near the steel works. I told Lily it looked kind ; of funny that the man she was going to marry didn’t come around to meet his mother-in-law. but she always smoothed it over. We were all expecting the mar riage to take place in October. had even given a linen shower and made the wedding dress It’s at home now. If I had j known what the truth was. I would have killed him myself instead of letting my I son do It."

CHAMBERS BROS., Druggists Nov. 28th. 1916. Hickory Valley, Tenn. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1017. MBS. HOWELL GLIMS SHE SAW WADE KILLED Witness Declares Dr, C. K. Chapman Fired Two Shots That Ended Life AMERICUS, Ga., Jan. 10.—Mrs. Year tie Howell, leading witness for the state in the prosecution of Dr. C. K. Chap man, charged with the murder of Walter Wade, went on the stand for a few min utes after court convened this morning and swore that she saw Dr. Chapman fire two shots which killed Wade. She testified that W. I. Johnson, John Eth ridge, C. K. Chapman, Jr-, besides Dr. Chapman and herself, were in the cai and that a few seconds after the Wade car pulled to the side of the road a sec ond came up, in which she recognized Walter Johnson and another person she could not identify. She stated that she was dressed-this morning as she was on the night of the alleged crime except for a broad brim med white hat. She was attired in a black skirt, a white shirtwaist and a coiored striped coat, which fell below her waist. Her answers to Judge Hixon, for the state, came in clear and plain tones, while the court room heard her attentively. Juiors leaned over to catch every word of Mrs. Howell. She was with the state's attorney on the stand for an hour, when W. P. Wallis took up the cross-examina tion for the defense. One hour on the stand under cross examination by W. P. Wallis, for the defense, did not change the testimony of Mrs. Howell, given on direct ques tions. She admitted that she was a mother before she was married, and said* she understood her second husband was suing her for divorce. The climax of the trial came just be fore noon as the state prepared to rest its case, when Andrew Jackson, white night watchman, identified Mrs. Yeartie Howell as the woman whom he saw in the automobile with Dr. Chapman and another man on the night of August 17, when, he said, he was greeted by Dr. Chapman as “Uncle Andy.” Hollis Fort, for the defense, outlined their case, which alleged an alibi for each one of the indicated men. Fort said that W. I. Johnson wr.s not in Americus and outlined his alibi plea- He alleged that John Ethridge was at Damascus, about 80 miles from here. Fort said that Walter Johnson's where abouts would be shown and that Dr. Chapman and his son were at home on the night of the alleged crime. Fort’s statements attacked Mrs. Howell’s character and also made reference to a possibility that the crime was com mitted at another place.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children s In Use For Over 30 Years • Always bears Signamreof LEGISLATURE TIDES FIGHT FOR ABSOLUTE I® AGAINST LIQUOR Prohibitionists Expected to In sist on Statute So Stringent Mere Possession of Liquor Will Be Illegal in Georgia That the prohibitionists in the next general assembly will pat forth a strong est oi l to amend the state prohibition laws so as to absolutely stop importa tions of liquor of all kinds ami in any quantity whatsoever into Georgia is tak en for granted at the state capitof. Sev eral prohibition leaders in the legisla ture have gone on record as declaring 'hat *ii the event the constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon law was upheld by the United States supreme court they would advocate a law which would not only forbid the shipment of liquor into Georgia, but would make it a misde meanor for a persons to have liquor in iiis possession. In other words, so far as Georgia is concerned, these leaders will exert them selves to make the state absolutely dry In. view of a statement issued by Gov ernor Harris Tuesday morning it is taken for granted that in his message to the legislature next summer he will recom mend further stringent legis atlon. in his staten>ent expressing gratification over tiie decision of the United States su preme court .Monday when that tribunal sustained the constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon law, the goternor said. •'ll is t<> be hoped at the next session of the legislature the provision allowing these individual shipments wilt be either entiiely repealed or the amount materially reduced." Seaborn Wright, of Rome, noted pro hibition leader, who headed the forces that passed the original prohibition law in 1908, who was in Atlanta Tuesday, is one of the repreaentati\es-elect from Floyd county and will undoubtedly be one of the prohibition leaders in the next house. He hails the supreme court decision on the Webb-Kenyon law as “meaning a revolution as regards liquor laws —as meaning absolute prohibition in every dry state.” The governor’s written statement, handed to the newspaper men in the executive offices Monday, follows: "Governor Harris today expressed great satisfaction at the decision of su preme court sustaining the Webb-Keu yon ac- touching the interstate ship ment of liquor. In the message which he sent to the last legislature (page €•>) he called attention to the broad pro vision allowed shipments to individuals and suggested to the legislature that they restrict these shipments and cut down the amount. “Some of the senators and representa tives in conference with him declared that they were afraid to do so because such action on the part of the legisla ture might be declared unconstitutional as infringing public liberty. The gov ernor then called attention to the fact that the restriction was only on the eamage affecting interstate commerce and not the private rights of the indi vidual "The very point that the governor sug gested to the legislature has been sus tained by the supreme court. The legis lation 1» West Virginia has been de clared valid, although it excluded all shipments of eveay kind. “Our own legislature consulted thei? fears and wouje not act on the gover nor’s tiuggtstion, although it then ap peared ihat nearly 80 per cent of the shipments were to colored consignees, thus presenting an aggravated menace to our people. It is hoped that at the next session of the legislature the pro vision allowing these shipments wii’ be either entirely repealed or the amount materially reduced. “The prohibition cause seems to be strengthening its steps in every direc tion It is now a world-wide one and has become a great economic question affecting the very life of the state, so that the government is taking steps to save the people.” National Prohibition Is Foreseen by Wright "If the ruling ot the United States cupreine court Monday, sustaining the act of congress in • passing want is known as the ‘Webb-Kenyon’ biil is to be taken as the acknowledgement that ury states may forbid liquor being brought into their borders by any inter late agency, then it simply means a 1 evolution as regards 1 liquor laws—ab solute prohibition in every dry state," declared the Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Home, Ga., who was in Atlanta Tuesday morning. • Mr. Wright, who was the author of the first state prohibition law of Geor gia, and who will return to the state legislature when it hext convenes, was enthusiastic over the action of the tri -1 unal at Washington. “It’s rather hazy, the accounts of the action." said he, “and I can’t feel sure just how to interpret the dispatches from Washington; thej are not clear enough. But if it really means that the inter state commerce laws will no longer nul lify those of a state, in regard to liquer shipments, then every ‘dry’ state in the union will probably follow the decision by legislation absolutely forbidding the bringing within their borders of any kind of intoxicating liquors.” GEORGIA SITUATION. Mr. Wright hesitated a minute be fore answering the question put tc him as to whether the next legislature in Georgia would “follow up this deci sion.” “1 don’t know what the complexion of the next legislature will be,” he said fi nally, "but if it resembles that of 1916, 1 believe that Georgia will amend her prohibition law making it impossible to secure intoxicating liquors. “But 1 can’t understand this aispatch,' he said half humorously, “perhaps its because I think its almost too good to lie true. This thing will mean a revolution. It’s the real step towards national prohi bition. The people in Georgia want alf: solute prohibition if they ever wanted any kind, and it looks as though they were going to get their desire. “I haven't .made one single investiga tion of the complexion of the next legis lature, and 1 can't forecast what’s going to be done. “The reason why the states once re pudiated their prohibition laws—all but Maine —was because tne interstate law nullified their own. But if that is cleared away, then nothing can stop na tional prohibition. "The great feature of this decision is the way that our courts are no longer : hanging over dead precedents, but they are keeping abreast of the great social and economic changes in our govern ment.” Mr. Wright stated that he was going to Washington Wednesday with the Georgia contingent who were working for the armor-plate plant at Rome, and that he was looking forward with inter est toward disctißsing the ruling of the court with Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League of America, who led the fight for the prohibition forces in the test case before the su preme court. HEAD OF CHICAGO POLICE IS FIRED ON GRAFT CHARGE Wealthy Hotel and Case Owner Held as Member of “Ring” Said to ‘-Have Collected Thousands of Dollars Yearly (By Associated Press.} , CHICAGO, Jan. 10.— Investigation of the ’alleged graft “ring” led to the tak ing into custody early today of Thomas Newbold, wealthy hotel and case owner. Maclay Hoyne, state’s attorney, said sev eral of the hotels controlled by Newbold have been the scene of police raids. ’ Mr. Hoyne announced that Thomas Costello, and Lieutenant Augustus M. White, both under arrest, had confessed directly connecting Charles C. Healey, chief of police, with the system whicti, he charged, levied tribute amounting to thousands of dollars annually on the underworld. Chief 'Healey was arrested Monday night charged with extortion, bribery and conspiracy. Mr. Hoyne promised to make public details of the two confessions. He as sertj that Lieutenant White, who re cently has commanded the Lake Street police precinct, implicated Costello, al leged to be the connecting link between the police and hundreds of vicious re sorts in the city, and that Costello in turn involved Healey. The state’s attorney charged that he had learned that for at least six months, Costello had visited Chief Healey's home on an average of three times weekly and that on one occasion he was accompn ied by Michel Heitler, a police charac ter known as “Mike De Pike,” now un der arrest. He charged also that Cos tello held daily telephone conversations with the police head and that Chief Hea ley had visited the alleged graft “pay off” office said to have been maintained by Costello. Mr. Hoyne announced that he had learned from persons he had questioned that the manipulations of the alleged corruption “ring” were wider than was at first indicated. In addition to num bers of policemen, ranging in rank from patrolmen to captains he charged several persons outside police circles are in volved. “I haven’t even scratched the surface of the graft ring," Mr. Hoyne said to day. ’“The inquiry is still in its Infancy. It will take several weeks to get to the bottom of the ring’s operations.” TomorroW will be Chief Healey’s last day as chief of police. Mayor Thompson having announced he would send his successor’s name to the city council. Princess Louise, Long Before Public’s Eye, Is Put Under Guardian (By Asrocixted Press.} AMSTERDAM, via London.
