MISTRIAL fl JURORS
VOTED TO COKVICT
MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 6. — After
eighteen hours of deliberation, the
jury in the case of Mrs. Ruth Bul
lard, charged with assault with in
tent to murder her husband, D. D.
Bullard, Powder Springs farmer, had
been unable to reach a verdict, and
Judge D. W. Blair ordered a mistrial
today at 11:35 o’clock. The jury
Is said to have stood 8 to 4 for con
viction.
Sfnluforv charges are pending both
against Mrs. Bullard and Sim Ed
wards, a neighbor, who was con
victed Thursday of assault with in
tent to murder in connection with
the shooting of Bullard. These cases
will be tried later.
T*he case was given to the jury last
at 6:30 o’clock after brilliant
arguments by Counsel and a cleat
charge by Judge D. W. Blair. After
three hours deliberations, the
jury retired for the night, having
been unable to reach an agreement.
Argument of the case was follow
ed with interest by the crowd in the

and Gordon Gann, associated with the
solicitor in the prosecution, made the
opening speeches. They were fol

ae 7 in an able defense. Solicitor

from, copious notes which she her
self had made during the conduct

one of the best they had ever heard.

LLOYD GEORGE WILL TREAD
STONEWALL JACKSON’S PATH
THROUGH VIRGINIA VALLEYS
Will Dream Over Campaigns
of Confederate Leader He
Has Idolized All His Life
BY ROBERT T, SMALL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
NEW YORK, Oct. B.—When
David Lloyd George set sail for
America a week age he said he had
no mission. Today was in Canada
still without a mission. But when
he returns to the United States for
a longer stay next month he will
have a mission.
Believe it or not, Lloyd George
likes war. He declares now that
peace is the great problem of the
world. But like every man who has
lived so long in the atmosphere of
war, Lloyd George cannot divorce
himself completely form its spell.
Lloyd George was more a part of
the World war than any other head
of government. Even Clemenceau
could not drink in the military side
of the war as England’s prime min
ister did. Lloyd George got a tre
mendous kick out of visiting the bat
tle fro" «. He .’ent to all of them.
He talked with ail the commanding
generals and many of the lesser
lights of the allied armies. He talk
ed with them as one military man
to another and it often was said of
the prime minister at the British
front that he seemed to have all the
military knowledge of some of the
graduates of the staff college.
To Live Over Sixties
And so it happens that when
Lloyd George returns next month
his mission will be a military one.
He wants to go to Richmond and to
motor through the Shenandoah val
ley. He may extend his trip of ob
servation as far as Harper’s Ferry
and to Gettysburg. Lloyd George
wants to live over again the cam
paigns of Stonewall Jackson. He
wants to view the battles in the
retrospect from the Confederate
side. He knows* every detail of the
famous struggles and to him Stone-
Iwall Jackson is one of the great mili
tary heroes of history.
In this admiration of the dashing
Confederate leader, Lloyd George is
but expressing the view held by all
the professional soldiers of Great
Britain.
The battles of the American Civil
war long have been the subjects of
closest study in the military schools
, and the army staff college in Eng-
I land. The strategy and the tactics
employed in those conflicts of more
than half a century ago still furnish
the ground work for a military edu
cation (n Great Britain. And in the
World war the British staff found
itsself constantly guided by the his
tory of the Civil war. Os all the
generals engaged in the American
war, the British long ago settled
upon Stonewall Jackson as the most
brilliant and resourceful. Lloyd
George during the World war im
bibed this army admiration for Jack
son and it is one of the objects of
being largest chief of police in
world, retires to private life when
board commissioners fail to re
elect him. He weighs 340 pounds
and is 7 feet tall.

ed to be oldest Confederate veteran

HUNTSVILLE.—Cotton is being

terrain of Stonewall Jackson’s fights.
Warmly Welcomed
Although Lloyd George is making
his visit as a plain private citizen,
it is difficult to conceive how he could
have been more formally and cor
dially welcomed than during his
brief stay here.
Attentions also w r ere showered
upon his wife, Dame Lliyd George,
and the attractive young blond
daughter, Miss Megan Lloyd George.
All the Lloyd Georges were plung
ed right into the midst of American
jazz and “the glorification of the
American girl,’’ as they call the
more or less undressed New York
reviews these days. The former
premier said he wanted to see some
thing typically American at the the
ater. So they took him to the new
Music Box Review, where the music
was typically American, the jokes
extremely American, the girls typi
cally American and the costumes —
typically tropic, to say the least. But
the Lloyd Georges seemed to like it
all tremendously. There is a crash
and a “blam” to American reviews
that is missing in the quiet but
dainty and finished performances in
London. .But Lloyd George’s life in
New York had been attuned to crash
and “blam” even after two or three
hours on American soil, so the at
mosphere of the review was much
to his liking.
Daughter Is Clever
Miss Megan Lloyd George had an
experience entirely new to her. She
met a lot of unterrified American re
porters. They fired a barrage of
questions at her, wanted to know if
she smoked, if she intended to fol
low the footsteps of her illustrious
father and go into politics, whether
she was going to get married and
when, and what she thought of the
feminist movement.
Miss Lloyd George said she might
take up politics some day. “Why
not?"
She does not smoke, but she would
not criticize those who do. She is
“too young, oh, much too young ’
to discuss marriage. “There is so
much time for that sort of thing.”
Miss Megan has not met many
American girls but hopes to on her
return to this country. She quite
captivated the/reporters and proved
herself more skillful in parrying
questions than they were in pro
pounding them.

TURK ARMY HICK
IN CONSTANTINOPLE
AFTER FOUR YEARS
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 6.—(By
the Associated Press.)—Turkish
troops re-entered Constantinople
this afternoon after nearly four
years of banishment.
Through streets bright with flags
and treading on flowers thrown by
a populace almost frenzied in its
rejoicing, Shukri Naili Pasha’s iron
brigade—the unit selected for the
honor, marched from Stamboul to
Seraglia park, -where the formal
ceremonies occurred. The troops
were veterans of the World war
and the war with Greece.
At the park Turkish women,
veiled and unveiled, distributed bon
bons and flowers. Sheep were im
molated and a mufti offered prayer
while soldiers and populace stood
silent.
In the seas of red fezzes and black
kalmaks that lined the parade route
it wa£ difficult to find a single hat.
Those whose nationality such head
gears marks were either indoors or
had donned for the occasion the na
tional head dress, for despite official
assurances to the contrary, the non-
Turkish elements were unable to dis
pel the feeling that there would be
demonstrations against foreigners.
This fear, the Turks assert, had
beep sedulously fostered by the
propaganda of intriguing political
elements.

WOMAN WHO SLEW
PRIEST DECLARES
SHE HAD TO DO IT
CHICAGO, Oct. 8. —Mrs. Emma
Strutynzky, kneeling in the sacristy
of the little Greek Orthodox church
of St. Michael the Archangel, her
head bowed as if in prayer, shot and
killed the Rev. Basil Stetsuk, as he
knelt before her to receive, by a
special concession, a Sunday confes-
A . M
sion.
The first bullet struck the priest
full in the mouth just as he knelt
and said: “My daughter, what is
it?”
Two women seized Mrs. Stru
tynsky as she followed the reeling
priest from the vestry and fired
four more shots at him, two into the
back and two which merely passed
through his gown. She was saved
by police from an angry crow’d.
Half a dozen excuses dropped
from her nervous lips as she sought
to justify her act. She would de
clare in her native Ukrainian that
Father Stetsuk was squandering
church funds; of how her brother
had slain a Galician governor who
had oppressed her people; and dwin
dle off into whispered chattering of
a code of personal vengeance.
“My husband was sent away from
this church,” Mrs. Strutynsky told
the police. “My husband built the
great Church of St. Nicholas. He
gave his life to it. And then he
was dismist-J. The wonderful
Church of St. Nicholas was turned
j over to Father Stetsuk. He was
wasting the money of the parish. Fa
ther Stetsuk cheated my people. I
had to kill him.”
Authorities said they believe Mrs.
Strutynsky is mentally deranged.
She said she set out five weeks
I ago to kill, the priest, stopped at
I Pittsburg, Pa., and sent her daugh
j ter to Ramey, Pa., to “be with my
I husband when he should hear of
: this.”
The Rev. Strutynsky is under in
dictment charged with embezzlement
of $50,000 or more which is said
to have gone into the building of
the beautiful St. Nicholas church
here ,the--pastor of which also of
ficiated at St. Michaels.
Police are searching for a man
who had been heard to say “some
thing is going to happen in this
church.” \
His parishioners declared there
was no basis for Mrs. Strutynsky’s
allegations of financial discrepancies.-
