Mrs. Hudson Smiles When Ac

Attorneys
SEEKS TO START OVER AND
LEAVE OLD LIFE BEHIND
Plans To Disappear In Moun
tains Os North Carolina And
Tread Narrow Path
ALBANY, Oct. 13.—With a purse ;
made up by sympathetic people to
help her start life anew, Mrs. Bennie
Hudson, acquitted late yesterday, af
ternoon cf the murder of her own
children, for which her husband is
under sentence to hang, today pre
pared to leave here where she is
known for another part of the coun
try where she is unknown.
Smiles have been foreign to Mrs.
Hudson’s face during the days of
her incarceration, last July 12. But
when the verdict of “not guilty” was
sounded the pinched and drawn face
look on a new light, a smile illumin
<d it and hid “many of its furrows,
seeming to tell of .a ponderous bur
den lifted at last, from shoulders
weary of their load.
Smiling, she shook the hand of
each juror, thanking each briefly for
his part in her freedom. Smiling,
she thanked her attorneys, and smil
ing, she walked from the courtroom,
apparently a bit conscious for the
first time that the eyes of every spec
tator in that room were riveted on
her in curiosity to see this woman
who had been charged with taking
the life of 'her own flesh and blood.
Seeks New Life.
In the sheriff’s office, a moment
later, she told reporters of her plans
to avoid forever the scarlet pathway
she had once followed. She seeks to
fc leave that life of shame and every
of it, she says. She wants
* io begin her life anew. She wants
a new environment. She wants to go
where she is unknown and where fear
of bodily harm will not obscess her.
She still expresses a fear of her hus
band's family, the husband who one
week age was convicted of the crime
of which she was acquitted and who
is sentenced to hang November 18.
To the iMountains of North Car
olina, far from the scenes of
jiast iniquities, this woman, a moth
er at 14 years of age and since then
a confessed peddler of her own body
and soul, will attempt to come back
to live the life, she says, she has al
ways wanted to live. She has been
straight as a die, she says, since that
day last fall when she and Glen Hud
son satisfied lftw and conscience by
marriage. And the same strict ten-,
ots by which she began to live on
that day, she continues, will guide her
from now on to her dying day.
She /is going to take the few'
pieces of clothing she has which once
belonged to Robert and Isaiah, she
declares, to remind her of the baby
prattle.
Can Never Forget.
“Hadn’t you better leave those i
things behind and forget all about {
this affair?” she was asked.
“For get it,” she replied. ”1 can
never forget those children of mine,
and I’m going to take along their i
little clothes to look at when 1;
get lonesome for them.
“I want to get away up in the
mountains somewhere, far away from
anybody that knows me and knows j
anything about me. I want to go 1
to work and make a living and live j
a straight and upright life. I’ve sin-,
tied enough in this old world, I guess, j
and I’m going to live as straight as I
the West of them from now on.”
Mr*. Hudson says she has rela-!
fives in North Carolina who will take j
her in and let her find work. She
will not name thetternw r n for which |
'he will start, declaring that s'he
wants nobody to know about it, espe
idaily the family of Hudson.
Immediately after her release j
spectators and officials began to l
make up a purse for her, so that
she can buy a few needed articles I
of clothing. “No money, no people,]
no children,, no nothing, is the way;
s he expresses her situation, but it j
"’as not at 'her instance the sub-;
scription was begun. . j

•Vs promise and the court’s verbal ]
i insmictions, lie is to be placed in juil
and held to the grand jury.
The !-es“. wtyrh was told of in ad
; vance in The Times-Reeorder Wed
! nesday afternoon, attracted a large
j gallery of spectators and lawyers,
j and was attended by a number of
j witnesses. Norris, who i? a member
j of the I.aGrange bar, he says, acted i
' as his own attorney, while Mrs. Fow?j
i ler was represented by \V. T. Lane.
Says She lls Victim.
Morris contended tiiat Mrs. Fowler
j was being'made the victim of a hand
I of HMoly Rollers, claiming that she
I was in the newer of Mr. and Mrs.
Bostick and Mrs. and Mrs. C. E. Ful
] ler, of Tanyard Hill, who, he said, are
..uumimia of this sect, and that
I thi .ugh their influence lit'. Fuller 1
! ’has traded'a house and lot in La
i Grange worth SB,OJO to the Fullers'
I for 100 acres of “sand” where they,
! all reside ju t beyond Tanyard Hili,
| and which Justice Griffin said was
j not worth S4OO, and that she, in turn,;
|has deeded this farm to Mrs. Bostick!
j for “$5 and love and! affection,”!
I leaving herself virtually a pauper. !
iHe claimed that he was entitled to
$l,lOO in the LaGrange property as!
accumulated fee: due from Mrs. Fow-1
ler, whom he had represented as at ■ j
tciney for four year?, and that itj
was to protect ‘lie widow and his own
interest that he was in Americas. He!
did he promised to stay here and j
tie it the Fullers and Bosticks for'
this property. He castigated Attorney \
lane for standing against a brother!
lawyer and defending a “cheat.”
j Norris was the center of the trial.;
He presented a certificate of good i
standing signed by the judges, law- 1
j yers and public officials of Troupe

l county, said be bad been admitted
i to practice in the state supreme court
j and district federal court, was a
j member of the First Baptist church!

i turn her property over to them, de- !
! nied her permission to interview himj
| or receive mail from him and assert-:
! rd that if he could hold a brief con
ference with her for even a few min
utes the whole matter would be ad- 1
luted.
BRINGS BIG SUITS
After the steelement of his case,:
Nervis dr cussed the afair at some 1
length with a reporter. He said the
fullers and Bosticks formerly lived’
. in LaGrange and were members of
i 'he Holv Holler sect there. O'hers in!
the sect there were Frank Longley j
j and Mrs. N. O. Sherrer, These two,j
■ he said, had kidnaped Mrs. Fowler
some time aeo and held her manner ‘
away from him, telling him first that !
j she had gene to Europe and l» f er i
that she was in a sanitarium at Ma-;
cen. A bent this said, nappes
in a hank vault there belonging to j
himself and Mrs. Fowler were taken j
by Longley, and the widow’s personal 1
property was taken by Mrs. Sberr»r.
