II SLAYING TRIAL
Sweetheart of Convict Now
Tells Story Repressed Be
fore by Threats.
GADSDEN, ALA., Sept. 20.-The de
fense will probably complete its testimony
to the Wiley Goforth case today.
The mostt’ sensational feature of the
trial was the testimony of Zelia Cohelia,
sweetheart of Joe Saulsberry. Goforth’s
alleged partner in crime, who was con
victed and sentenced to a life term. She
said that on the night of the murder
the two boys, Goforth and Saulsberry,
came to her house and that they sat in
a room and talked about the murder
She said Saulsberry stated that he struck
“Old Man” Shenizen, the German miner,
over the head with a bolt, and that when
he fell, Goforth rushed upon him and
almost cut off his head with a long dirk
She said Goforth showed her the dirk and
laid it on the table. It was covered with
blood. Goforth’s hands and arms were
bloody up to the elbows. Saulsberry
had only a little blood on his fingers.
Saulsberry robbed the man and got s!>s.
When asked why she had not told this
story to the jury in the trial of Sauls
berry, she said that relatives of the de
fendant told her that if she ever told It
she would be killed before she could get
out of the court room.

BURWELL IN LEAD
ERR SPEAKERSHIP
Fulton County Representatives
in Next Legislature to Sup
port Hancock Candidate.
Fulton county’s three members of the
next Georgia legislature held a quiet
and friendly conference yesterday, and
today announced that they will support
William H. Burwell, of Hancock, for
speaker.
They have informed Mr. Burwell of
their decision, and that gentleman was
greatly gratified.
The action of the Fulton delegation’,
coming close on the heels of similar
action upon the part of the Muscogee
delegation, has sent Burwell speaker
ship stock sky high and many political
observers today are predicting that the
member-elect from Hancock likely will
achieve his speakership ambition with
out opposition.
Mr. Burwell's friends are claiming
that he now has nearly 100 members
pledged to support him and it will re
quire, several less than 100 votes to
elect.
Burwell has been a member of the
legislature continuously since 1896,
serving all of that time in the house,
with the exception of two years, when
he represented his district in the sen
ate.

NEW WITNESS TELLS
OF DEATH BOTTLE IN
RESORT UNDER PROBE
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—A new witness
whose testimony will tend to support the
story of Frankie Ford, former Inmate of
the resort of Henry Foster, that John
Messmaker met his death from poisoning
from the "black bottle,” was summoned
to appear at the inquest in West Ham
mond this afternoon. The new witness
ig. Edward M. Fasting, a friend of the
Ford girl. Fasting says that the day
after Messmaker died he saw the Ford
girl and she told him of Messmdker's
sickness. According to Fasting the girl
admitted Messmaker had taken one small
injection of morphine, but that was all.
He had had a number* of drinks, however,
and complained that they had a peculiar
taste.
Henry Foss, manager of the resort,
Fasting said the girl told him, had warned
all the girls in the place to hurry across
the state line. The Ford girl also told
Fasting, he says, that Foss had told the
girls to leave the state after Esther Har
rison's death, but had finally arranged
matters by a‘ death certificate
stating death was due to natural causes.
The entire police force of West Ham
mond will attend the inquest to prevent
any disorders on the part of the friends
of the dive-keepers. One patrolman, told
that "the gang would get him,” resigned

MILLIONS IN COLD
IN I SUNKEN SHIP
Divers Have Tried for Fifty
Years to Recover Bullion
From Wrecked Frigate.
LONDON, Sept. 20.—One million pounds
in bullion, which has lain buried for more
than a century in the watery safe deposit
of the Zuyder Zee, may be recovered from
the deep within the next few days. Fine
weather alone is stated to be the factor
upon which this record salvage is de
pendent.
The British frigate Lutine sank at the
entrance of the Zuyder Zee in October,
1799. She had on board $6,085,000 in bul
lion and money. The Dutch government
claimed the wreck, and granted one-third
of the salvage in 1801 to bullion fishers.
After much discussion pnd occasional
recoveries, the king of the Netherlands
ceded half 'the wreck to Great Britain.
About 99.893 pounds was recovered at-va
rious times.
Diver Feels Bullion.
For two summers, Captain Gardiner, of
the National Salvage association, at the
head of a bapd of gold seekers, has
fought upon the salvage ship Lyons the
fierce currents that run between the is
lands of Vieland and Terschelling. One
diver who recently came up from the
wreck declared he had found the gold.
He said that on the-decks of the frigate
lie masses of cannon ball and shot, but
along her ribs are holes and rents show
ing the broken, jagged ends of planks
and timber. It was by investigating in
one of these crevices that Ke found the
bullion. He had crawled on hands and
knees along to the opening and tried
to get Inside bodily, but the ragged rents
threatened his life lines and air tubes.
While stretching as far as he colud
around the corners of gaping timber, his
hand touched something hard and square.
He had handled bars of bullion before,
and knew the "feel” of them.
There was, however, no moving the
precious metal, so after a vain attempt
the diver signaled to the men above, who
sent down a line, and with this he fas
tened a buoy to the hold in the side of
the Lutine.
The fall of the decks has Imprisoned
the treasure in the strongest chest im
aginable, and It will require a "pill” of
dynamite to take it from the grip of the
15-lnch thick beams.
