History of Case.
In 1867 E. M. Edwardy. the grand
father of the minor now bringing suit,
died, owning the property In dispute.
In addition to other children, he was
survived by William M. Edwardy
the father of the minor plaintiff In the
According to the history of the land
as set out in the petition. Mrs. Mary
Edwardy, the widow of E. M. Edwardy
and grandmother of the plaintiff, had
assigned to her on October 7, 1867, the
property In dlsputc*aa her dower. Prom
inent men are named as the commis
sioners who made this assignment of
dower and Include E. E. Rawson, J. R.
Wallace, William Watkins, F. M. Rich
ardson and R. P. Zimmerman.
Evidently there were some creditors
who did not get their money from the
estate of E. M. Edwardy, for, according
to the petition, the widow made a con
tract In 1872 where she agreed for her
dower land' to be sold to satisfy the
fl. fa. of one Julius Lowenthal for $177.
One-half the proceeds of the sale were
to go to the widow and the other half
to Lowenthal and the balance of the
creditors, the property to be sold at
auction by the sheriff. It Is alleged
the lots were bought by various pur
chasers who are named and the pro
ceeds were $1,448 for the entire prop
erty.
Mrs. Mary Edwardy died *In 1887.
Within seven years after her death her
son. William M. Edwardy. died In 1801,
leaving the minor child, Marie, who Is
still a minor and the plaintiff In the
case.
Left a Minor Child.
One of the points made by Attorneys
Rucker and Lovett Is that the son, Wil
liam M. Edwardy, died before he had a
chance to sleep over his rights for seven
years and left a minor child. The other
children of Mrs. Mary Edwardy took
mo steps within seven years after her
death and It Is claimed they are barred
from court for that reason.
With this true, it might be said that
death Intervened and prevented w U-
llam M. Edwardy from doing the same
thing.
An Interesting feature In connection
with the death of E. M. Edwardy, the
original owner. !• that he was banished
by General Sherman after the capture
of Atlanta In 1864, and that in return
ing some time afterward he was ship
wrecked off Cape Hatteras and
drowned. He did not make a will and
the commissioners were afterward ap
pointed by the court to set aside a
dower for the widow.
it is charged In the petition that the
l*vy made by the sheriff to satisfy
Lowenthal’s fl. fa. was excessive and
th»t the first lot sold for $160 was
•nough, except for $27. to satisfy this
Judgment. Dr. R. J. Massey is named
a* the administrator of the estate at the
time the sale X>f the dower land w as
made.
At the present time the property at

With the shades drawn and alone In
a little upstairs room in a cheap hotel
near the Terminal station, Mrs.
Frances White, principal In the sensa
tional Whlte-Anderson shooting affray,
lies In her bed Monday seriously 111.
Her nervous system Is In a state of col
lapse and with a fever raging at' 104
degrees, the result of the shock of her
exciting experiences and confinement
In Jail, Mrs. White, In addition, is suf

Mrs. White herself, moaning and
tossing on her bed Monday morning,
expressed the belief that she would
never get out of her bed.
Reporter Found Her.
When Mrs. White was released from
the Tower lost week on bond It was
announced that she would leave Imme
diately for the home of her mother In
Nashville and it was generally sup
posed she had gone. On Investigating
a report Monday morning, however.
The Georgian found her In the little
hotel. 111, living there under an as
sumed name. „.... .
It was for the purpose of hiding and
keeping her continued presence in At
lanta a secret that the young woman,
after having lived for several months
In the finest style In one of the lead
ing, hostelrles, sought this secluded
hotel. She informed a Georgian re
porter that she had been ill ever since
she left the Tower.
She said she went to the depot to go
to Nashville the day she left the Tow

"Oh, I've suffered so much,’ she said,

And then as tears came Into her eyes
and an expression of pain crossed her
face, she walled:
"If I could only see my mother! Oh,
I want to be with mother!” /
Mrs. White was greatly surprised on
discovering that she had been found,
and as the newspaper man entered her
room she greeted him with the ques-
tl ”’How did you know I was here? I
thought I wos securely hidden."
Mrs. White Is being looked after by
two friends, a man and his wife and
they are the only people who know
that this sick woman In the secluded
hotel room Is the same woman about
whom such a sensation was created
and on whose account Michael P. An

losing his life. These people have en

Papers Carrying Whisky "’Ads”
Cant Be Sold in Alabama State
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 16^—Local
news dealers and others are aroused
over the Fuller prohibition bill, which
passed the house of the Alabama leg
islature last Friday and which will
reach the senate'this week. The meas
ure has also attracted the attention of
newspaper makers all over, the coun
try. It Is aimed at the men who sell
papers with whisky advertisements,
and It Is pointed out that many maga
zines and newspapers would be barred
from Alabama. Inquiries have been
received here by various publishers as
to the general purport of the Fuller
bill, which may become a law at al
most any time.
In answer to the various queries. In
formation Is being seat out from Bir
mingham that If no amendments are
tacked on to the measure In the senate
the Fuller bill will prevent the sale In
Alabama of all newspapers and maga-
xlnes which carry whisky nnd beer ad
vertisements. The newspaper dealers
usually preface what they have to say
by declaring the law Is very drastic,
and Information Is given out that ar
rangements are being made to test the
law In the event the bill la passed.
Publishers outside of the state have
been Informed that no effort would be
made to stop them from sending any
nnd all magazines with whisky ad
vertisements, but that the news deal
ers themselves would be prevented
from selling such papers and maga-.
sines. The news dealers say the bill
will work a great hardship upon them.
It remains to bs seen what the publish
ers outside of the state will do.

As the result of unfriendly relations^
which, since Friday night, have threat-4
ened to culminate seriously, Edward BJ
Cowan, president of tho Atlanta DIsV
count Company, who lives at 466 North*
Boulevard, will be tried before Justictfl
of the Peace Ridley at 3 o'clock Monday!
afternoon on a peace warrant sworn*
out for him by his neighbor, Robert C.j
Howard, president of the Howard Safoj
and Vault Company, and who lives aw
462 North Boulevard.
The warrant for Cowan was sworn!
out by Howard earlv Sundav night andi
followed a series of incidents which thoj
latter considered as tending toward)
trouble for both parties. Cowan gavel
bond in the sum ->f $r,.O00 and was re-i
leased from the Tower early Monday;
morning. i
Cowan had retired when tho officers,
arrived at hla home with the peace
warrant Sunday night and ho was com-!
polled t" got up and dross and accom-i
pony them to the Tower. He offoro<i no!
resistance, and only asked that ho b*
allowed to leave his revolver at homo]
with Mrs. CcAvan. Tho request was
granted. j
Altho reports of the difference he-*
tween the two neighbors are conflicting,'
a sufficient number of tho important,
details coincide to cause it to appear
that the trouble originated about 12
o'clock lost Friday night, when Mr.
Howard Is said to have fired his pistol
several times at what he considered
was a burglar.
Mr. Cowan was disturbed by the fir
ing and calls for the police wero turned
in from both houses. When the officers
responded Mr. Howard explained that
he was shooting at a buglar, but Mr.
Cowan declared it was nothing of the
kind and that the shooting was the re
sult of a “drunken row.” Seeing their
services were no longer needed, tho of
ficers left and all was quiet until Sat
urday morning.
Howard's Statement.’
Mr. Howard’s version of what hap
pened from Friday night until tho peace
warrant-was sworn out, follows:
"My wlfo and I had a party of
friends out at the house Friday night,”
said he, “and when they started to leave
I walked to tho yard with them and
saw a man crouching In an alley next to
the house. I mode an excuse to get a
light and rushed in the houso for my
pistol. When I got back I fired several
times In the shadow, thinking if a bur
glar was there I would either hit him or
scare him out.
"Of course tho women and children
were scared nnd they screamed. The
police were called nnd when they ar
rived the man could not be found, but
he saw tracks where lie had climbed
the fence.
"While the police were there Cowan
came to hbi door. In a friendly way I
said; 'Cowan, you shouldn’t keep so
much money at home and maybe tho
burglars would not bother us.
•"Burglars nothing.' he said. 'It’s
nothing but a drunken row and I’ll tell
the proper authorities.'
“The next morning Cowan came to
me and said he owed me nn apology.
I told him I wanted no apology; that
he could apologize to the ladles for
what he had said about a drunken row.
He >ald he was not afraid of me and
would meet me any time and I told
him to come down then nnd meet me.
He went back In the house and I went
in mine. .
"Saturday afternoon between 5 mu! 6
o’clock I crossed the street Just as
Cowan got off the car. He hod a pis
tol and kept It pointed at me all tho
way across the street.
"Sunday afternoon I was on tho
porch and Mrs. Cowan called me. .She
said I made a mistake If I thought her
husband was a coward. While we were
talking he came up the steps with his
gun and I went Into the house. Th«-n
I went to Judge Ridley and swore out
a peace warrant.”
Cowan's Version.
Mr. Cowan was seen Monday morn
ing after his release from the Tower
and his version ot the affair was us
follows:
"Howard nnd I have been on friendly
terms until last Friday night. I was
awaken'd ab-.ui l'J «. , ’l<-'k that night
by pistol shots and I heard n woman
scream. Howard told us he had dono
the shooting nnd that he had shot at a
burglar. 1 1<>1<I him It wan nothing of
the sort and that It was the result of a
drunken row. Mr. Cowan called up
the police and when they came they
found no burglar.
"Howard not only shot out on the
porch, but he shot Inside the house. I
have never threatened to shoot him and
have had no gun until I bought one
Saturday to defend myself If It became
necessary. He called me a coward Sat
urday and told me to come down and
fight him when he was armed and
knew that I had no weapon.”
The differences between the two
