' JUDY TO PASS ON | SLAYER’S SANITY Clay Goes to Trial Wearing Lunatical Expression Which Experts Say Is Assumed. XX earing an expression that three At ||\ lanta alienists have declared Is hut an I**’ assumption of insanity. Robert L. Clay, who shot and killed his wife, Katie Clay, in the Lee street home of her sister. Mrs. \V \v. Hughes, two months ago. was put on trial for his life in criminal division of superior court to day. The prisoner came Into ,the coin" room wearing the same wild-eyed, haggard expression he has affected since the night he entered his sister in-law’s home and opened fire on his wife. He took a seat at the left of the court room with his lawyers and apparently paid little attention to the examination of the jurors. Drs, James Baird. J. M. Ellis and S. H. Green, named by Judge Roan to make an examination of the man as to his sanity, took the stand in the order named. Each testified that Clay had upon three different occasions been submitted to the insanity tests and in each instance the tests had proved he was merely shamming lunacy. Enter Special Insanity Plea. Shortly after the jury was drawn Clay's, law yers. XV. M. Smith and Spen cer McClelland, entered a special in sanity plea, and the case went to trial > . upon that phase. XVhen court adjourned at I:3d o'clock but four witnesses had been examined. Deputy Sheriff J. M. Suttles, who has been in charge of the prisoner since his incarceration in the Tower, assert ed that Clay had al different times dropped his hunted expression when he . thought that his jailers were not watching him. The action of Clay's lawyers in en tering an insanity plea will give Clay two trials. If the jury finds the man sane, he will be put on trial for the murder of his wjfe.

Little Miss Jennie Perkerson, xvho outclasses all women—and most of the men—swimmers in Atlanta, caught in txx-o bathing poses. Atlantans Can See Rare Exhi bition of Swimming and Diving at Piedmont. Atlantans who care for diving and swimming exhibitions needn't go to New York and see Annette Kellermann or even wait for her to come to Atlan ta. A trip to Piedmont park and a slant at little Miss Jennie Perkerson. 57 East Twelfth street, will keep busy’ the best pair of eyes in the city any old afternoon. Those who have seen the aquatic wonder of Piedmont say that when Miss Kellermann learns of her, Dick Croker will thing he caught a green lizard for a pet and not a diving girl. Miss Perkerson. who hovers some where between the mystic ages of eight and twelve, can do most anything a fish can. She can stand on a spring board and dive off in good old Queen Eliza beth fashion - or she can execute three loops while in the air and come up with her right foot in the palm of her hand. XVhen in the water she swims the over hand stroke, "dog fashion,” sailor stroke, on her back, on her side or on her head if necessary. She can stay under water for such a long time that people begin Io look for her, and site can outswim in long-distance races the strongest man who frequents the lake. Outclasses Them All. She has been pronounced the best young swimmer In the South by all Atlantans who know the specific gravi ty of water and w’ho understand and appreciate the difficulties in the path of an ordinary fish. Having all these good sw imtnological assets, Miss Per kerson says she will likely go on the stage If she ever receives an offer. XVhen Piedmont lake opened last summer the clerk smiled broadly at the little brown-skinned girl who came, up and wanted a dressing room. This year he takes off her hat and asks the little girl, who is none other than Miss Perkerson, what dressing room she would prefer. “XVho taught you how to swim?" some one asked her once. “I taught myself," was the prompt reply. She then explained her methods. First, she learned simply to keep afloat, then she learned the overhand stroke. After mastering these, she began on fancy stunts, keeping after each until she had a repertoire of stunts that would do credit to a trained seal. All this happened to her in one summer. "Keep Your Face to the Shore.” Having secured for herself the fine points of the game, she is well qualified to tell others what to do. One of het essential rules is: "Keep your face to the shore.” That, applies especially to those who don't know a stroke The* sight -of the shore, she said, always Inspires a swim mer with lonfldenee .ynd helps him to keep Ills head. Miss Perkerson refuses absolutely to stay roped off with the other children, ami the park officials have about quit asking that of her. Miss Perkerson has ope abiding su perstition. Her superstition is Lake wood. Hhe is afraid of Lakewood, In spite of the fact that the pond is very shallow all the way across. ■Tin afraid I might drown there," she said. A sprained ankle may aka rule he cured in from three to four days by applying f'hamherlain’s Liniment and observing the directions with each bot. tie.
