Slayer of Wife and Father
Confesses Crime as Hour of
Execution Nears.
i
The body of Samuel Hyde, taken'
from the i lectric death chair at Co- :
llumbia, S. ('., today, is on its way to.
] Atlanta. It is the property of three'
i medical students who knew Hyde be-'
] fore he committed the clime which was ■
■ xpiated today. The condemned man
I bequeathed his body to the young men.
that they might use it for anatomical;
\ -tudies. ,
The three students, J. N. Webb, J. C. !
• .'lilt >rd and C. C. Horton, are from An
] derson, S. ('., former home of Sam
Hyde, and all are attending the At
lanta College of Physicians and Sur
geons. They will meet the body at the
train, bear it to the dissecting rooms of
the college, and use it throughout the
remainder of the term, for studies in
anatomy. Perhaps the skull of San,
Hyde will in time adorn the college
museum and serve to prove or disprove
the theories of criminologists. Hi“
finger bones may btk-omc hlgWy prized
■ -ouvenirs among the students, for
■ medicos have grewsome ideas some
] limes.
| Hyde murdered his wife and her fa
ither early last year, and his case fur
] nished one of the most noted legal bat
pies in Carolina h .story. His trial was
I a dramatic one a id resulted in convic-
Ition. Later the officials of the state!
] penitentiary began to doubt Hyde’s
sanity and a commission of alienists
i was appointed to investigate. After a
'long examination the experts reported
I that Hy de was sane and should be ex
ecuted in expiation of his crime.
Wasn’t First to
1 Die in Chair.
Hyde was the first Carolinan sen
i fenced to death in the electric chair,
| which has just displaced the gallows.
] It was his own desire that he be given
this grewsome distinction. But the
I i xaminatibn into Ids sanity delayed
| matters; he was given a long respite,
and in this time fout other slayers
went to their deattf in the chair in the
state penitentiary at Columbia.
To several newspaper men in Co
lumbia Hyde confessed his guilt yes
]ter...iy afternoon and said he deserved
to die, and did not desire further res
pite. He said he hoped to meet his
wif.. in heaven, and had been praying
I that both his victims we e there. He
i -eel.led to have no doubt of his l>wn
; a'vati"n. He bad talked much with
• ministers recently, and said he knew
] ids sins had been wiped out by re-
• pentance.

cal students yvas drawn up in strict
legal form. Some time ago Hyde ex
prt'ssed a desire to leave his body to
'oui.- si ienlltic institution and the thre
Anderson students, learning of this,
made a formal request that they be
given the body.
• H< re is a copy of the contract signed
by Hyde and returned to t,‘»e young

VICE WAR BRINGS
| CRIME DECREASE
Court Records Show Greatly
I
Improved Condition Since
Closing of Tenderloin.
Offering the court records of the last
24 hours as an indication of improving
conditions, Chief of Police Beavers to
day predicted a big drop in criminal
cases in Atlanta as a result of his ex
termination of the tenderloin.
The records showed that from mid
night until 8:30 today there was not a
case made in police court, a very un
usual condition. For the eight hours
preceding that only four cases were
made—one of those by the sanitary of-
I Heer.
“The vice we have wiped out,” said
Chief Reavers today, "was the source
of much other crime in Atlanta. A re
markable reduction already is appar
ent and a greater slump is certain.”
The restricted district was dark
again last night. Few of its former
tenants remain. The police kept close
watch and there is little probability
that any attempt to violate the ban will
be made.
ACCUSED OF FORGERY,
FITZGERALD BROKER
ENDS LIFE WITH DRUG
FITZGERALD. GA.. Oct. I.—Within
an hour of the time set for him to ap
pear in court here to answer a charge
of forgery, M. Robinson, a broker, com
mitted suicide by drinwtng poison. He
had been in business here only the past
| summer. Relatives at Rowesville, S.
have been advised by telegraph of
his <’< nth. They will probably arrive
tomorrow to take charge of his body.
Robinson was accused of forging a
bill of lading and persuading a busi
ness man here to indorse it.
ROME COUNCIL SUCCEEDS
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
ROME. GA., Oct. I.—At a meeting
of city council last night the business
of the board of public works was
j taken over by city council.
The board of public works was abol-
( iahed by a legislative act. The aboli
tion of this body has been discussed
for two years or more. This year, when
city council had a resolution irttro
i duced in the general assembly to abol
r ish the board, the latter body promptly
, framed a resolution to put. city council
out of existence. but the bill never
reached the legislature.
Emphasizes Estrangement by
Omitting Future Emperor
From Family Photo.
RERUN, Oct. 1. The very latest pho
tograph of Emperor William in the midst
of his family still further emphasizes the
unhappy fact that the kaiser and Crown
Prince William are estranged and adds
graphic strength to the report that the
head of the Hohenzollerns is so “at outs”
with his eldest son and heir that he prac
tically ignores him. Here two strong wills
clash; the older man imperious but po
lite; the younger man democratic, less
guarded.
From the newest photograph of the
kaiser and those dearest to him. the crown
prince is absent. In the picture are two
sons of the crown prince, to whom the
emperor is devotedly attached, and Prince
Adelhert. the kaiser’s third son, Ger
many’s “Sailor Prince,” who while he was
sometimes angered the emperor by his
escapades, has never dared to combat
openly the desires of his father and sov
ereign. The crown prince is conspicuously
absent from the group.
The truth Is that the emperor has never
forgiven the crown prince since that ex
traordinary scene in the reichstag. which
surely will become historical, when the
kaiser’s heir openly opposed his father’s
foreign policy. A spark would then have
exploded a frightful war between Germany
and England, which might have Involved
most of Europe.
Chancellor Vonßethman-Holweg had ad
dressed the reichstag in defense of
Germany’s part In the settlement of the
Moroccan question. Then up rose Herr
VonHeydebrand, of the militant party,
and he declared, in a most bellicose
speech:
“The German people will give a German
answer to this English problem. When- 1
ever demanded, we are ready to make I
sacrifices, not only of treasure, but of
blood.”
Seated In the royal box, the crown prince
was plainly delighted by this challenge to
England. Smiling, he slapped his brother,
Prince August, on the back and ap
plauded.
This unheard of indiscretion, this open
indorsement of an open militant policy in
furiated the kaiser, who promptly packed
the crown prince off to Dantzfc, "pro
tnotng" him to command the crack
“Death's Head” Hussars stationed there.
Despite the prayers of the empress, de- ;
spite the emperor's affection for the
crown princess and her children, the'
crown prince remained In Dantzlc until I
the kaiser became convinced his son was
threatened with an affection of the throat
resembling that which was fatal to the
kaiser's father. Emperor Frederick.
I hen he was permitted to return to
Potsdam. For his father’s ire had been
excited by other phases of the crown
prince’s conduct than his behavior in the
reichstag Ills independent opinions, his I
open sympathy with the workingmen's |
unions, t-'s speech at his wedding fes
tival, his simplicity of manner and known
aversion to flattery all have leaned heav
ily on the balance toward the Liberal
party. Now. as these dispatches have
told, the kaiser deliberately snubs bls
first born, they never correspond when
apart and rarelj speak to each other.
The kaiser refused to review the crown
prince's regiment at the recent maneuv
ers; even absented himself the other day
1 from the birthday fete of the crown prin
cess, of whom he is very fond, democratic
us she is.

2 CENTS EVERYWHERE
Since t the counting of the strike
ballot was ended yesterday and
the result made known to General
Manager Scott by officials of the
union, efforts have been made to
bring about peace. A conference,
called yesterday, afternoon be
tween officials of the road and the
unions, ended at 1 o’clock this
morning without accomplishing
anything. After this conference
thb railroad officials issued this
statement:
It Is probable that the conductors,
flagmen, baggage masters and yard
trainmen may withdraw from our serv
ice.”
This is taken as an admission on the
part of the railroad officials that they
have little, if any, hope of averting a
walkout.
Vice President T. A. Gregg, of ths
Order of Railway Conductors, and Vice
President James Murdock, of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, are
handling the situation here for tlyir re
spective organizations.
Wife Sure Ousted
Husband Will Win
Mrs. John T. Paschal, of 84 East
avenue, wife of the Georgfa railroad
conductor whose discharge over a tech
nicality may cause a strike of 300 train
men, is more than confident that her
husband will be vindicated In the end.
In whatever action ensues she believes
her husband and his fellow trainmen
will be returned victors.
”1 don’t know ahout all the details ot
the trouble,” said Mrj. Paschal today,
“but I am sure Mr. Paschal will win.
He Is fighting for a principle and the
railroad officials know that he and the
men are right.
“My husband did not tell me about
his discharge until a month after he
had been turned off. because I was ill,
but he said before he left for Augusta
that he Intended to fight the thing out
to the end. He did not believe it was
right to be turned off as he was after
twenty years of service.
“Some of the men are saying that the
railroad company discharged Mr. Pas
chal because he had always been prom
inent in the affairs of the union and
not because he worked his train several
minutes over the time limit.
"T don’t know about that, but I do
know that Jack expects to win this
fight and I expect him to win it. too.”
Mrs. Paschal said that because of
her recent illness she would not be
able to go to Augusta, where the con
test between the men and the railroad
company will be waged If a strike is
called.
“But I will help him to win in every
way I can, because he is right in this
fight.” was her parting shot.
