IS SILENT Mrs. Jones Refuses to Divulge Motive for Killing Young Nashville Widow. DEAD WOMAN’S BABY SON ONLY WITNESS TO TRAGEDY Jealousy, Caused by Neighbor hood Gossip as to Divorce Case, Theory of State. NASHVILLE, TENN., Aug. 16. While relatives and friends today be stirred themselves to obtain bail for Mrs. Leola Jones, the Nashville woman charged with killing her rival, Mrs. Alva Frances Cave, a comely young widow, counsel for the accused took '** their first steps in preparation for the prisoner’s defense. It Is believed that the commonwealth will have condiserable difficulty in con victing Mrs. Jones, because no one save the two-year-old son of the dead woman saw the shooting. Mrs. Jones today refused to make any statement. Garbed in spotless white, the pris oner sat in her cell today, showing neither fear nor excitement. Her only perturbation of mind arose over the grim-barred room which soiled her snowy garments. Jealousy caused by neighborhood gossip is the motive which the prosecu tion will try to establish. Charges made by Mrs. Jones in a suit for divorce last year, in which Mrs. Cave was named as i co-respondent, will be introduced to show the mental attitude of the prison er toward the victim. The shooting of Mrs. Cave may result in a double tragedy, owing to the pre carious state of health of Mrs Sophia Leinhous, mother of Mrs. Cave, who collapsed when told of the killing. She is at present under the constant care of physicians. Owing to the prominence of the fam ily of the slain woman, the case has aroused high Interest throughout the state. • Airs. Cave was the daughter-in law' of Dr. R. Lin Cave, pastor of the Woodland Street Christian church of , this city, chaplain general of the United Confederate Veterans and former pas tor of the West End Christian church in Atlanta. He has a brother in the ministry in St. Louis. For a number of years he was engaged in educational work In Lexington, Ky. Mrs. Cave was 30 years old. Pa thetic circumstances connected with the case are that the dead woman leaves two small children, a son aged , two and a daughter aged five.

Clay Frick, Snubbed by Taft and Society, Goes Into High ways for Guests. BOSTON. Aug. 16.—Henry Clay Frick, a Pittsburg steel magnate and Prides Crossing pride, is at odds with Northshore society over his billion-dol lar lawn fete planned for tonight. So ciety is not coming out the way it ought. Mr. Frick decided when the an swers to his invitations began to ar rive. Mr. Frick in this crisis, perhaps, turned to the Gospel for comfort. At any rate, his answer was to emulate a Gospel example and "go out into the highways and byw'ays" of Prides Cross ing and the surrounding towns for guests to fill the vacant places. And as a result, two Beverly barbers, the Magnolia baker and several others not acceptable to the Northshore elite will stroll about the beautiful Frick lawn tonight. Publicity, the failure of the invited guests to respond properly and a gentle snub from President Taft are held responsible for Frick's change of plans. Be that as it may, the blllion-dollar fete won't be nearly so pretentious as was at first planned. Frick has cut and slashed his own nrogram until the Northshore groans.

Not even in the halcyon days that , the patriarchs speak of w itli so much feeling has courtship been so striking and pleasant a feature of a camp meet > ing as is now the order at Mt. Gilead camp meeting, w hich is just closing. At least, that is what S. H. Wallace, of Ben Hill, Ga., says, and he should know, for he has been an attendant upon camp meetings for the last 77 years. Mr. Wallace was the oldest of the patriarchs at Mt. Gilead. "1 am glad to see that." he said, smil ingly. as couples went strolling by. “When a man’s with a woman, lie hasn't much chance to get into devil ment She’ll generally keep him pretty busy. “There's more of that going on now adays, too,” he continued, with a chuckle. "Baek w hen/I was a boy, we were a little bit afraid of 'em until they got us —and then we were still afraid of them. But now boys and girls get used to each other mighty quick.

In “ye olden days,” said Mr. .Wal lace, the camp meeting was more oi less of a marriage mart. Every tors male who couldn’t find himself a mate anywhere else wrould go to a meeting. Usually' he found her, and a marriage occurred forthwith, in the present day courtship is not considered so seriously. Swains and swainettes now consider it perfectly proper to bill and coo just for the sheer love of it. And at parting, if no agreement has been made, there I is no heartache for either, for both will be at it again before the close of an other day. Spoonoidt are considered matters of Course at the present day camp meet ing.

Generation upon genera tion of the same family were there— graybeards whose attendance at camp meetings in the past had gone beyond their calculation; young nten who were just beginning to shoulder the burdens of religious life; little children there for the first time, who as yet did not appreciate the significance of the meet ings.

ALSO LONGS TO STUDY THE BEAUTIES OF NATURE Viewing Atlanta and Meeting Judge Broyles Other Two Ambitions of Cashin. Out of the world’s myriad beauties, out of tlie thousands of things of grip ping interest that human eye can see. four views alone stand out in the am bition of John Cashin, blind Atlanta news seller, who believes his sight will be restored by having the eyes of a condemned slayer transplanted to his sightless sockets. The first object he would have un folded to his new-born sight is stateiv St. Johns Cathedral in Richmond. Va., the city where he worshiped as a boy. His second wish is to know the hum ming city in whose heart he has lived in total darkness for fourteen years The third desire is for the power to view nature’s glories, to be given the ability to distinguish the brilliancy of the sun’s rising from the amber beauty of its setting. And ins fourth wish is to gaze on the countenance of Judge Nash R. Broyles, redoubtable Atlanta police magistrate, with whom he has come in contact on rpore than one occasion. Then He Would Get ■ Acquainted With His City. If the operation is successful, Cashin Intends to board the first train for the ■Virginia capital, and when he reaches there he plans to hurry to the cathedral where he worshiped as a boy. All his life he lias been told of the beauty and impressiveness of this structure. It has counted much in his life and in the life of his friends. He wants to see how it looks. Then he wants to know \tlanta. For fourteerf years he has sat each day in the very heart of the city, and he knows no more of its nature than a Hottentot. He has heard of the rno:;- ster buildings. He wants to see them. He lias heard the tramp of thousands of feet as they pass him or pause thwt their owners might purcha-e papei- He. knows no Atlanta save. He waais to serf what the people witli whom Im has been associated so long look like. He wants to become an active membi r of the society of which he has been >i dependent so long. But more than all he wishes to un derstand nature'- beauties. He Iris never known the difference between th, glory of a sunrise and the passiv ■ grandeur of sunset. The budding o£ trees never told him that sp, ing had come. The coloring leaves never told him that autumn was at hand. He lias never seen a smile, but he does mu know a frown. In contemplation of nature he would wish to spend his first weeks of sight. Two Men He W~ants to Know. Then there are two men that lie wants to know. The first is himself. He has no idea whethei he is gargoyle or Adonis, one of his first acts would be to utilize a mirror. The other man that he most wants to know is none other tlian the redoubtable Judg“ Broyles. H * has come in contact with Atlanta's famous police magistrate on more than one occasion “I want to know what lie looks like* the old ras cal,” says the blind man. With the restoration of Ills sight, Cashin has no fears for the future. He has plenty of determination. He tells of working as a news butcher until railroad officials discovered they were employing a blind man, and discharged him. His ambition is to become a lawyer. He will first have to learn to read and write. "I can master this easily,” la says. There are friends in Virginia who, he says, would stand back of him in his work of obtaining an education and starting the practice of his pro fession. He thinks that his wide knowl edge of human nature that he has pick ed up on the streets while selling pa pers will stand him in good stead when he appears before the bar. He is determined to succeed, and lie believes that the time is not long before he has the opportunity. • Cashin Has Been Blind Since Birth. The blind man believes in his heart of hearts that if Claj goes to the gal lows and the slayer's eyes are used ti make him see. through the operation
