WOOMII'S SUPPORTERS SAY MT ISMS I Declare They Have Sufficient Votes Already Pledged to Save Old Crematory. PERSONAL APPEALS TO INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS Dispute Likely To Be Thrown j Once More Into Council De spite Health Board. I Friends of James G. Woodward, may* j oralty nominee, declared today that ■ they had a good chance to win the crematory fight at the meeting of the aldermanlc board Thursday and pre vent the destruction of the old crema tory. There were three votes favorable to Mr. Woodward’s policy at the last ! meeting of the board when Aiderman i Van Dyke held up the matter until • Thursday by giving notice that he I would make a motion to reconsider the | action. There are ten members of the board, and if Mr. Woodward can gain three more, a majority, lie will be able to delay indefinitely the destruction of the old plant. The razing of the old plant, accord- ■ ing to Mr. Woodward, would confront the city with serious disease peril next ■ summer. To Throw Dispute Into Council Again. The members who voted fur Mr. ; Woodward’s plan were Aidermen Van- I Dyke. McClelland and Everett. It is i said that Aidermen Johnson. Warren ; and Maddox are now inclined to pre serve the old plant. Council has approved the resolution authorizing the destruction of the old plant. If the aldermanlc board con curs, it will be torn down immediately, for Acting Mayor Candler has let it be known that he will approve such ac- I tion. If the aldermanlc board does not concur, the whole matter would be thrown back in council. But a ma jority of both branches of council, vot ing separately, must approve tile con tract. Woodward Makes Personal Appeals. I Mr. Woodward is now confining his ■ fight to an effort to save the old cre fmatory. He has held a number of con j ferences with members of the alder- I manic board, and will ask permission to present his arguments in person at the meeting Thursday. The board of health expects to suc ceed in having the old plant torn down ito make room for the new 8276.000 plant. Excavation work around the old i plant is already in progress, so confl- I dent are the members of the board of j health that the aldermanlc board will i finally approve the contract to tear i down the old plant.

Kin of Girl Still Bitter Against Amboy Youth. Who Says He Welcomes Trail. ASHBURN, GA., Nov. 19.—Whether thy investigation of Minnie March man’s death proves she was poisoned or not, Tan Cleghorn, the young Amboy farmer, whom she accused on her death ■ bed, will be prosecuted as her slayer. W. J. Cochran, brother-in-law of the girl, today declared that poison or no poison. Cleghorn was responsible for her death, and he will not rest until a court has tried him for murder. in the meantime, Cleghorn, who yes terday appeared at Ashburn to protest his innocence, declares that he will wel come any investigation. He not only denies lie poisoned the girl, but assert* that he was not responsible for the condition that led to her death. Mies Marchman, he says, long before her death told him of her plight and ac cused another of her suitors. Cleghorn says that he never ires engaged to marry the girl; that the trip they made together to Ashburn when members of her family declare they were to be wedded, had no more import than any ordinary ride. Os his own accord he gave out a letter from Miss Marchman, which referred to the ride and which did not mention mar* riage. The letter read: Letter Calls Him “Kind Friend." October 31, 1911—Mr. Tan Cleg horn: Kind Friend —I will drop you a few lines to let you hear from me. Say, Tan, you don’t know how my heart is broken this morning to think how I have been treated. Say, T<k I have heard something of you and myself the day we went to . Vsliburn, so come down home to night If j-ou can. I know you would like to know what It is. Well. I will ring off tor this time, as I haven't the heart to write much, so hope to see you soon. From your friend, MINNIE. The young farmer declares that he h:’> never been in hiding and is willing to face any charge the relatives of the girl may bring against hltn He as .‘■•rt- he will stay in ,Vhburn until hi* name is cleared. But the girl's relatives are just as positive in their accusation of Cleghorn as lie is in his own defense. Cochran today said that he was only waiting for a definite finding on the examination of the girl’s stomach before he takes steps to have the man prosecuted. Calls Cleghorn Responsible. “Whether the girl was poisoned or not," said tha brother-in-law, "Cleg horn is responsible for her death, and the law ought to hold him for it, and I will not rest until he answers to the charge before a court.” Cochran still was undetermined as to what action he would take on the rec ommendation of Dr. Funke, the Atlanta chemist, who examined the girl’s stom ach for trace of poison. Dr. Funke re. ported that if poison had been intro duced it had been absorbed by this time and that no definite conclusion could be reached until the brain and the liver were examined. This would necessitate the exhuming of the body. He offered to come to Ashburn to make the tests, but so far tlie family has not decided whether to follow the poison theory further.
