Hat Dry Cleaned in
Athens Responsible
For Arrest of Two
GAINESVILLE, Ga. — ® —
Deputy Sheriff H. L. Lawson of
Hall county today said two men
have been arrested in connection
with the killing of Oren ‘Whitmire,
laxi operator who was the vietim
of a ride and rob holdup.
Lawson said that murder war
rants would be sworn out for the
two men booked as Arthur Thomas
and Clyde Gilmer.
The officer said the arrests were
made through discovery of a new
ly cleaned hat found 20 yards from
the place where Whitmire Wwas
mortally wounded ten miles north
of here last week. g
“We traced the hat to an Ath
ens dry cleaning establishment
where we found it had been left
in the name of Thomas,” Lawson
said.
“Following the arrest of Thomas
who lives in Chicopee, three miles
from here, he claimed he had given
the hat to Gilmer. Gilmer was
taken into custody at Porterdale.”
Lawson said:preliminary hearing
for the two men probably would
be held the latter part of this
week.
Whitmire was slugged, robbed
and shot and left for dead in a
wooded area near Dewberry church
last Tuesday. He crawled to the
roadside and attracted the atten
tion of a crew of convicts passing
by and was brought to a hospital
here where he died Thursday.

Chairman Harrison said he had

on senate leaders that they intend

They did that through a resolu

Board Must Meet Requirements
To Get Federal Funds For Road
Ultimatum by Wallace Is
Reported to Have Been
Sent to Wilburn
WASHINGTON — (#®) — A re
ported ultimatum by Secretary
Wallace that Georgia will receive
no further federal funds for roads
unless certain requirementg “are
met in the interest of efficiency to

The charge came from Chalrmani
Eugene Wilburn of he Georgia
highway board who contended the
differences with the federal gov

the result of the board's refusal to
build the controversial Ball's Ferry
bridge.
Representative Tarver, Democrat,

MRS. COO AWAITS
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Woman to Die Tomorrow
Night for Alleged “In
surance Murder”
OSSINING. N. Y. — (# — A
lonely, embittered woman sits
quietly in the death house today—
disturbed more by the “faithless
ness” of her friends than the pen
alty the state says she must pay
tomorrow night.
She is Mrs. Eva Coo, 43-year-old
convicted slayer of Harry Wright,
handyman at her Otsego county
road house. Nine months in a Sing
Sing cell a few steps from “the lit
tle green door’” have taken a tre
mendous mental and physical toll,
but she has regained part of her
once iron nerve and consoles her
self with the thought Governor
Herbert H. Lehman will save her
from the electric chair.
There is no consolation, however,
when she thinks of her former
friends.
“They took all my property, my
money and even my insurance
policy on my own life,” she said.
“] saw one woman who was
against me wearing my own blouse.
“Another woman who turned
against me was wearing all my
clothes except my shoes.
- wßEyerything 1 had is gone. 1
haven't a nickel to my name.”
¢I never killed Harry Wright and
I never hurt anybody. I have help
ed so many people, with money
and with gifts, for years, they all
forgot the good I did. They try to
speak only of evil.*
The bitter denunciation of her
former friends came after word
was received last night that Gov
ernor Lehman had gone to New
York City from Albany without
announcing any decision on her
plea for clemncy. No statement
will be issued unless he decides to
spare Mrs, Coo's life.

Rev. Mcßrayer’s Requests
For Public Trial Refused
Today by Bishop Ainsworth
Atlanta Pastor Will Be
Tried Tomorrow for
Fight for Repeal
JURY OF THIRTEEN
Defendant Has Right to
Challenge Only Five
Of Selections
ATLANTA —(#)— Repeated re
quests for a public trial have been
rejected finally by Bishop W. N.
Ainsworth, of the North Georgia
conference, and Dr. R. L. Russell,
presiding elder of the Atlanta dis
trict, Rev. H. E. Mcßrayer, sus
pended pastor of the Lakewood
Heights Methodist church, said to
day,
Secret hearing of charges lodged
against him as a result of his ac
tivity on bhehalf of repeal during
Georgia’s referendum on prohibi
tion will begin ay 10 o’clock tomor
row morning at the Wesley Memo
rial church.
Trial in Secret
“Usually church trials involve
matters which both parties desire
to keep secret,” Mecßrayer said.
“However, in this case, I have
nothing which I want to keep se
cret. And as 1 am the accused,
it seems that my views should bear
some weight.
“But I talked with Bishop
Ainsworth and Dr. Russell and
asked them if there were any pos
sibiilty of the hearing being open
ed to the public, They said there
wasn’t any chance, ag it always
had been the custom of the church
to have secret trials and they.saw
no reason for changing in this
case,”’
Pubiic Welcome
Mcßrayer added that go far as
he was concerned, all persons in
terested in the trial would be wel
come at the church, but that he
had no authority to grant them
admission to the chambers where
the church court will be held.
Rev. W. H. LaPrade, jr., will
preside as judge at the trial Thurs
day. Mcßoayer will conduct his
own defense. | :
Under church custom, a jury of
either nine or thirteen clergymen
will hear the case. It.is understood
that thirteen will serve on the jury
in this case, although that is op
tional with church authorities.
Can Challenge Five
Mcßrayer will have the right to
challenge five members of the jury
but will have no further voice in
the selection.
“Whether thirteen ministers can
be assembled who will render an
impartial verdict from an unbiased
point of view in this case remains
to be geen,” Mcßrayer said.
