Explanation First
Given by Slayer.
The lit.st explanation of hit* <»i.m
given I*s’ the bhiyer following hi'
arrest was the night of the muider.
Just ujTer he huu lam locked in th' 4
police station. When prisoners in the
same ward naked City why he killed
hi* wife, the slayer, till in a drunk
en condition, replied
*‘l loved my wifi, and who wouldn’t |
live with me. i couldn’t stand to be j
away from her, and 1 killed her."
Since that time ids lips hail been
sealed until today On his trial, and even
when the death sentence was pro
nounced, he never uttered one word in
defense of his act He successfully
defied every effort and every ruse used
to break Ids silence.
Boy, 3, Made an
Orphan by Execution.
The execution of Clay leaves a lit
tle orphan boy, less than three years
of age. This little fellow has been
cared for since the tragedy by rela
tives of the slain mother, ami will be
educated and reared by them. They
say they Intend to give him every ad
vantage possible, and to strive In every
way to keep this dark blot from stain
ing his future.
The feeling of relatives of the slain
roman was manifested in a dramatic
manner w hen a sister of Mrs. Clay call
ed at the Tower with the explanation
that she "merely wished to look at
Clay."
As she gazed through the bars, the
young woman is said to have ex
claimed :
"Bob. we’re going to break your neck
—you have but a short time to live."

drivt-n rtfdr arguments home and
leashed them tn good coin of the realm s
for the Coffers of Red Cross Christmas (
seal committee. (
The committee's plans for tomorrow s
•ire elaborate anti it is expected that
it will b" the bigg. »t seal day .in At
lanta's history. According to the young
women who have pj’ontiwti to moke the
remainder of Atlanta allotment of 500,-
O't" seals look slim, jt will .be a record
il.iy in more than one respe t.,
Recently came the news from Wash-
Ington that Miss Alys Meyer, daughter
of Secretary of the N«v) Meyer, es
tablish 1 an American record by sell
ing 3.60(1 seals In a single-day pn the
streets and In stores.-.f-
Young Atlanta women believe that
Miss Meyer's record can. be smashed,
..nd if thetr enthusiasm for their cause
be a criterion, tonwrrow night will see
a new mark established.
Miss Jenkins After Record.
Miss Annie Lou Jenkins, who has
been a "s'ltler” since the crusade took
bold in Atlanta, already has set a mark
of 1,800 seals in three hours, and Miss
Ruth Walraven is a close second, with
1.500 In the same time Miss Jenkins
is sure she can more than double her
sale in double the time, and Miss Wnl
raven asks for but a chance to demon
strate that Atlanta can equal Wash
ington and that Atlanta girls are sales
women In a class by themselves.
During the week Atlanta’s full quota
of stamps, 500,000 of the 1,500,000 al
loted to Georgia, has been placed and
the t'itrlstmas seal committee has sent
to headquarters for more. Suburban
drug store, corner groceries and all
manner of place- where the people may
b.' drawn have been supplied with the
i stamps. They are everywhere one turns
I in qux st of anything to buy. so there
i will be little or no excuse for the per
son who complains that lie didn't know
about tl"' seals.
Stations have been established In the
postoffiee and at Cole’s book store, and
otluws will be placed tomorrow at the
Terminal station and In the Kimball
And Piedmont hotels.
Cordon of Femininity.
Eom these stations th sak'swomen
will work the downtown section, anil It
will be an elusive individual who can
slip by the cotdon of the femininity
that will girdle Atlanta’s business sec
tion.
In the schools today will be a big :
day. The work hero has gone on all (
week with marked success, one school I
llone sold 10,000 seals and has asked
for more, for it is to the school ehll
’.ren, est . iii'.'v in the poorer sections,
that the 1.-son of the seal Is brought
home.
The Atlanta committee expects to
ust the money raised by th* sale of
seals as a nucleus of a fund for an

Is on foot aii over the state, wherever I

NEW York. Rec. 13.—A sweeping',
investigation of conditions in districts!
made famous by Mary Goode in her |
revelations In the graft exposure was[
begun today by Police Commissioner,
Waldo.
Tv. o police captains and four lieu
tenants have been suspended us a re
sult of her charges that millions of
dollars have been wrung from women
of the underworld, , and the Commis
sioner will give them short shrifts un
less they can prove their innocence of
grafting.
The two police captains are Patrick
Corcoran and John L. Zimmerman.
They were unable to explain satisfac
torily to Waldo the movement of the '
patrolman, Keller, to whom Mrs. Goode
said she had paid money. The sus
pended lieutenants are Alphonse Re
hune, Henry Boerner, Abraham Rotskv
and Albert F. Mason.
Mrs. Goode declares that “the sys
tem” receives for protection of vice
sums much larger than Its revenue from
gamblers In the days of Becker’s sway
and before the murder of Herman Ro
senthal. Many resorts, she says, have
paid as much as JI,OOO a month.
Mrs. Goode probably will be the first
witness called when the grand jury be

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
,-ecretary of State Phil Cook leaves
tomorrow for Lake Charles, La., where
.e goes t" testify as to the color of title
*.
to land claimed by
certain parties ’ll
M o n t g o m er y 1
county, Georgia
unde) '.n old so
called "head right”
issued by the state
court of land
grants back in
1794.
That land court
must have been a
famous and rum
old court. all
right!
If it wasn’t
c o m p o s e d of a
lot of first-class
grafters and
crooks, it went
through the tno-
in amazing good
order!
The specific case in xvhich Secretary
Cook will testify Is that of one James
Shorter—an enterprising person, who,
in 1794, undertook to annex an entire
Georgia county, In spite of a law which
limited him "head right” to 1,000 acres.
Brother Shorter had away of having
himself made out a grant for 1,000
acres, “bounded and abutted by the
said lands of the said Shorter." and
that was all the description there was
to it.
What sort of ’rake off" the honorable
land court got for Issuing these grants
by the basketful to Shorter nobody
nowadays knows, but it must have been
fine and dandy pickings, anyway!
After a while. Shorter accumulated
in Montgomery county grants to a pal
try 1,181,000 acres of land—and that
was going some, too. when one consid
ers that then- were only 1.400,000 acres
in the entire county.
How old Shorter managed to overlook
the remaining little cotton patch fur
nishes food for thought.
Uy and by, the legislature of the srtate
outlawed these old fake "head right”
grants, and few people in the last 50
years have undertaken to realize any
i thing on them.
| Every little bit, however, some swin
! tiler gets hold of a “grant,” trades It
for something or other —and then the
secretary of the state of Georgia has to
get busy explaining how the “grant"
isn’t worth the paper It is written on.
Executive Secretary Hardy Ulm has
been digging around in old state papers
of one sort and another of late, and
some of the things he has turned up
are more than ordinarily Interesting,
Among other things he ran across
recently is an old agreement between
J. Pierpont Morgan and Jeremiah Mill
bank, on the one hand, and the Macon
and Brunswick railroad on the other,
whereby Morgan and Millbank agree to
become trustees for the bonds of the
road to the extent of $150,000. The In
strument is dated September 1. 1869.
J. Pierpont Morgan’s signature to the
agreement was the thing that particu
larly attracted Ulm's eagle eye. He
got a blank bank check, filled it out for
a million or so, and carefully attached
Morgan's signature to the bottom
thereof.
He said he had no idea of attempting
to cash the near-check, but he wanted
to see how one like that would look.
On the state pension lists there are
now 32 new names that everybody will
approve of heartily.
They are 32 blind Confederate sol
diers who, under an act passed by the
last legislature, have had their pen
sions increased from S6O per annum to
SIOO.
About 800 new names «-ere added to
the pension roll this year, by reason of
the new law and otherwise—but these
32. somehow, will seem a little more
welcome to the state’s pittance than
any of them, of course.
Solicitor General Joseph E. Pottle’s
friends throughout Georgia will be
pleased to learn that he is rapidly con-

Solicitor Pottle is the brother of
Judge Robert N. Pottle, of the stat,

Joseph R. Wilson, the “kid brother"
of President-elect Woodroxv Wilson, is
a newspaper man of Nashville, and hat

He is a most likeable chap, and his

This “Friday, 13, hoodoo dinner" is
to be a "josh banquet”—whatever that
is. exactly—so the announcements say,
and it will be participated in by about
200 of young Wilson’s friends and ac

state.
All the ancient and honorable "Fri

upon for "the kid brother’s” benefit
and the president-elect himself is to
come in for a lot of good-natured
banter.
That Floyd county is in dead earnest
about enforcing the state prohibition
law is abundantly attested In the fact
that Judge Maddox has sent four well
known white men convicted of violating
the law to the county chaingang for
long terms this year, and that without
the alternative of a fine.
Two of these men—one of them at
one time quite a prominent political in
fluence in Floyd—went to the "gang”
without protest, but the other two car
ried their cases to the court of appeals.
In a batch of decisions handed down
recently, however, the appeals court af
firmed the lower court’s findings and
sentences, and now these defendants
must join the other two in the Floyd
county convict road camp.
Judge Maddox announced that he
would impose chaingang sentences In
the future, in the event defendants were
convicted by juries of violations of the
prohibition law, and he has more than
