GIRL'S SUYEH TO
HANG TOMORROW
I
j. Edward Brazell to Pay Death
Penalty in Richmond
County Jail.
AVGUSTA. GA.. Jan. t.-J. Edward '
Brazell tomorrow will pay the penalty
for the murder of Carrie Bell Duncan,
a \oung girl of the mill district in No- ‘
’ ember 1911. Brazell sits in his cell ,
and hears the sound of the hammer and .
ea w as the scaffold on which he will
ekpiat. his crime is being repaired.
There has been no legal execution in
Richmond county since Arthur Glover, i
».ayec of Maude Dean, in 1907, was
banged. . 1
Brazell has embraced the Roman
Catholic faith ami says he will welcome (
I end. He makes a unique request ,
that John Williamson, a friend, “pull
the trigger.” Williamson refuses to
entertain the suggestion.
Fondles Baby Boy.
One of the saddest features in con
nection with the hanging of Brazell is
the devotion which he has shown to his
baby boy, which he has been allowed to
fondle during his long confinement. The
hild was born soon after he killed the
Duncan girl. Mrs. Brazell frequently
takes the baby to the jail.
The death watch has been placed
over Brazell. He talks freely of his
Impending death and discusses with
his keepers the life in the world to .
come. He says that he has absolutely (
no fear of the future. He sings, prays ,
snd reads his Bible much of the time.
Efforts to Save Man.
IP ■ ry effort has been made to save
the life of Brazell without avail. He
was twice tried and twice convicted. '
The case was twice appealed to the su
preme court and twice affirmed. A
lunacy commission was named by Gov
ernor Brown to inquire into the man’s
► unity and the commission ruled that
he was sane. Pierce Bros., Brazell's at
torneys. appealed to the prison com
mission as a last resort and asked for
commutation of sentence to life im
prisonment, but this was refused.

Year Doctors Gave Pardoned Banker to Live Is Nearly Up
MORSE STILL DOOMED, SAY EXPERTS
Ice King Again Seeks Cure at;
German Watering Places.
Case Called Hopeless.
Charles W. Morse, ice king and bunk-I
er, pardoned by President Taft from'
the Federal prison on January 19, 1911. |
after serving two y jrs of :: li'.Yeen-year
sentence, tod; y has otny eighteen more
days to live, according to the predic
tions of physicians made at the time
they examined him as he lay in the
Fort McPherson hospital awaiting the
action of government authorities. Th■;
physicians declared then Moise could j
not live a year.
But today Morse Is at Weisbaden,
Germany, enjoying ;■ partial recovery,
after spending his firs; year of free
dom in strenuous endeavor, crossing
the ocean twice, visiting his interests
in Maine, and even opening an office in
Wall Street for a month, to begin* what
was termed a c.tmpMgn of reprisal on
his business enemies
However, Dr. A. L. Fowler, Atlanta I
physician, the constant attendant of|
Morse before the latter was. freed from |
the Federal prison a year ago. sees no I
reason today to alter his prediction i
that the pardoned banker is a doomed '
man.
Confident that no one with Morse’s <
complication of diseases can hope to I
live out man’s alloted days, Dr. Fowler
sticks to his original assertion that the i
banker is at ail times facing death.
“Merely Error of Time,” Says Doctor.
And he points significantly to the
fact that while Morse, buoyed by sud
den health, did resume business for one
short month, he again is a familiar fig
ure at Bad Neuhefm, Wcisbaden and
other European wat< r cures, s alting tit
health he can never hope to find.
"If I was in error when I said tha.
Morse could not. live out the year yvnen j
he lay next door to death in the For: •
McPherson hospital last January, it was I
merely an error of time. He is no
neater complete recovery today than he I
was then, or i t least ho wasn't whirl 1;
examined him in New York this fall," I
said Dr. Fowler today, maintaining that ;
he would cling to his original theory I
that Morse suffered from Brignts dis- ,
ease, arterio-sele.-osis and valvulai I
heart trouble.
“He might go at any time. And then j
again he may live for months if treat- ■
ed with the proper care. But to .say
that Morse will again be the Morse of
ohl conducting a strenuous business in
Wall Street is absurd. It is a physical
impossibility.”
Dr. Fowler said that the medical ex
planation of Morse's apparent recovery
was due to the peculiar control the
mental attitude exercised over forms
of kidney diseases.
“Will Power Helped Him.”
“I urn not sure,” he said, “that this
has any psychological basis, but it is a
clinical observation which most doc
tors will verify.
“This was apparent on the day, Jan
uary 19, when President Taft commut
ed Morse’s sentence. If you remem
ber, Morse freshened visibly with the
news, and in some two or three weeks
was able to be moved from the army
post hospital to the Piedmont hote*
“But it did not alter the fact that
he is a victim of one of the worst forms
of organic malady, to which he even
tually will succumb. His freedom only
buoyed him up, gave him a change of
atmosphere, and his rugged vitality has
kept him going longer than the doc- '
tors who examined him thought possi- '
ble.”
Dr. Fowler said that the army sur
geons sent from Washington to exam
ine Morse while he was still a. prisoner ;
and confined in the Fort McPherson
hospital, following his removal from ■
the Federal prison, all concurred that
Morse was suffering from a complica
tion of diseases brought on by a form
of Brights disease.
Makes Remarkable Rally.
Morse’s first year of freedom has beep,
a year of surprises to Atlantans who
followed his condition closely during his
incarceration in the local penitentiary
and the army hospital and watched his
recovery at the Piedmont hotel.
On leaving Atlanta, he went to Ger- '
many. '. here, at Bad Neuheim and '
other vatering places, he apparently
took a new lease on lite. So quick and
remarkable was his recovery that by
August he was buck in New York ready '
to go into business.
He opened offices in Wall Street and
began what was termed a campaign oil
reprisal on his business enemies, to I
whom he laid his conviction for viola
tion of the national banking laws and |
subsequent sentence to fifteen years in j
the Atlanta prison.
After a week or two in Wall Street. I
the former banker was taken ill and i
sent io bed by attending physicians. I

Dr. Fowler went to New York and ex- i
t uiincd hi erstwhile patient for the
first tiiiie since Morse left Atlanta In '

“I found his condition, organic ally,
much the rme,” said Dr. Fowle; to
day. “1 could see no reason for chang
ing my' original prediction that Morse
was t doomed man.”
Again Seeks Cure Abroad.
<in the advice of physicians, Morse ,
journeyed back to Germany again this
fall, and shier his arrival abroad has
made the rounds of the celebrated Ger- ,
man water cures, Bad Neuheim. Baden-
Baden. CaWsbad and Weisbaden. Dr.
Fowler said Morse now was at Weis

FATHER'S BLOOD SAVES
LIFE OF NEW-BORN CHILD
MALDEN. MASS., Jan. I.—Dr. Wal
ter W. Kingsbury, a leading physician
of tiiis city, gave up live ounces of his
blood at tin Maiden hospital that the
life of his new-born infant daughter
might be saved.
Tm child became suddenly ill five
days aftei its birth and it was decided
necessary to transfuse health) blood
into her ittle body. Dr. Kingsbury 1
,-adilv consented to make the sacritii" I
' i
that Morse ever would return to New
York to enter active business.
"I don’t think Morse will ever re
cover," said Mr. Felder. "He is a sick
man. and I think be is suffering ills
last illness. Os course. I am not a
doctor and I don't know anything about
his condition scientifically, but if you
want my candid opinion, I don’t believe
he ever will get well,"
According to 1 >r. Fowler. Morse is
spending his time at Welshadcn be
cause the waters there are famed fol
their power to soften the arteries, and
Morse’s most dangerous symptom is
said to l.e arterlo-sclerosis, a malady

Home of Uncle Remus Becomes Public Shrine
WREN’SNESTPURCHASED
This day marks the fruition of ef
forts. by those who love the name of
Uncle Remus. to honor the memory of
Joel ("handler Harris. The monument
to that love will be the Harris home
on Gordon street, West End. which to
day comes into the possession and care
of the Uncle Remus Association of At
lanta.
The wife of Joel Chandler Harris
leaves Wren’s Nest, the home which
was hers and her and her gifted hus
band's for years, confident that those
who succeed her in possession will hold
it as sacred as she did.
-1 know our home always be kept
as he left it and as he loved it," she
told the members of the association. "I
know that you will cherish every tree,
Hower and shrub that he spoke of and
loved, as I have cherished them. You
will let the wild things feel at home
here, as he did, and as 1 have done."
The association members promised.
To do just this is their mission, as
they see it.
To Keep Old Home as it Is.
The home'' will be kept as Uncle
Remus kept It. when he pottered about
Snap Bean farm, a spot wrere nature
was left to its own sweet will, and
which was very pleasant and lobable
because of that fact. A earetaken will
be placed in charge of the estate, and
an open house to visitors will be main
tained. oHwever, the opening, of the
home to visitors will not follow imme
diately; plans must be formed definite
ly before the place is opened as a public
institution.
As Unde Remus loved the children,
his home will be made as attractive to
wee visitors as possible. A library will
be installed, probably to occupy a suite
of two or three rooms. And the libra
ry will be tilled with books for chil
, dren—all of Uncle Remus’s productions,
|of course. There w ill be books for
I grown-ups, too, and the library most
likely will be operated as a brunch of
In Carnegie library of Atlanta. Nego
tiations are on now to obtain co-opera
tion between the Carnegie Library as
sociation and the Uncle Remus asso
ciation, in this enterprise.
The library will be installed as soon
as possible, sind probably when details
of its arrangement sire completed? the
home will In- opened.
Will Preserve Relics.
In several rooms of the home muse
ums will be established, full of relics
associated with the life and work of
Joel (’handler Harris, most of which
will bi given by Mrs, Harris.
The formal opening of th. home will
not occur until May, on som> date In
which month a celebration, or mdlca-
■ tion service, will be held. Notables of
t the literary world, from end to end of
t the United States and from abroad, will
be invited to be present. A program
w hich will make the occasion one of the
most significant of Atlanta’s history
will be mapped out, according to Mrs.
• A. McD. Wilson, president of the asso
ciation.
> The purchase of Snap Bean farm
i will not be a part of the transaction
consummated today. The Uncle Remus
association holds an option of two
I years on that interesting place. How
ever, the funds in hand make possible
the purchase of only the home proper.
■ The efforts on the part of the women
of the association to raise the needed
. amount have been heroic and $20,000
has been gathered. This was paid to
day to the Harris family.
$5,000 More Needed.
For this sum the home is transferred.
To purchase Snap Bean farm. $»,000
more is necessary, which the members
■if the association nope will he obtain
able before the terms of tin- option ex
pires.
The contributors to tile fund in the
largest amounts were Theodore Roose
velt and Andrew <’arnegle. Theodore
Roosevelt contributed only indirectly,
giving to the association the receipts
of his lecture delivered in Atlanta two
years ago. The receipts were almost
$.5,000. Andrew ("arnegle gave an
amount equal to that of the lecture
reelpts.
John D. Rockefeller gave SI,OOO. The
Bessie Tift college and the Randall Me
morial association were generous con
tributors. And, marked with a real love
and r.-verence, came a contribution
from the school children of Louisville.
Ky.. of SIOO. The children of the Con
federacy were patrons to the amount
of $lO. Many others have been sub
scribers, in amounts ranging between
less than one dollar, and SIOO. Much
■ of the money lias been raised by en
tertainments and attractions offered by
the women of the association.

11.948 TREATED
fITGHADYINYEAR
One Person of Every Sixteen in
Atlanta Receives Medical
Attention at Hospital.
The figures in the annual report of
Grady hospital, just, completed by Dr.
W. B. Summerall, superintendent,
shows that one person of every sixteen
In Atlatna receives treatment in the
institution.
The total number of patients treated
in tile hospital this year is 11,946. Os
this number 3,354 were bed patients,
while 8.592 were treated in tile outdoor
clinic. In 1911 a total of 10,270 patients
were treated in the hospital, 2,986 of
whom were bed patients and 7,284 of
whom received the benefits of the clinic.
Dr. Summerall stresses the fact that
the twelve private rooms. installed
when the new hospital was built this
year, are bringing in an average income
of SI,OOO per month, through which the
hospital will be enabled to ] i.v for it
self. The receipts for the year totaled
$7 508.15. of which amount only $1,440
was received the first six months. Tie
remainder came in during the last six
months, after the pay ward had been
established. The report also empha
sizes the point that his ward does not
interfere in any way with the charity
work of the hospital.
The total expenditures for the year
amounted to $85,584.03.
The death rate for 1912 is practically
the same as for 1911. which was 10.2
per cent.
Dr. Summerall reports that the am
bulance record for the year is unex
celled by any one hospital in the United
States.
The total number of ambulance trips
was 4r<>92. with a record of 13.240 miles
traversed.
Dr. Summerall makes no recommen
dation in his report for an appropria
tion for the proposed new home for
nurses, but says this will be taken u»
direct with the new finance committee
of council. Plans already have been
drawn and everything is in readiness to
begin work as soon as the appropria
tion is available.
“We are stalled not and must re
main at a standstill until we increase
our nurses' quarters so we can provide
additional nurses.” said Dr. Summerall.

GORE TO ASK SENATE
TO INVESTIGATE NEW
TUBERCULOSIS CURE
WASHINGTON. Jan. I.—Senator
Gore, Oklahoma, announced today that
as soon as congress reconvenes he will
introduce a resolution in the senate di
recting American Consul Generali
Thackera. at Berlin, to make an inves
tigation of the "cure for tuberculosis
; that Dr. Friedman, noted German sci
entist, is reported to have discovered.
It is claimed that the physician has
effected ovbr a thousand permanent
cures anil the discovery is accepted as
important by many prominent scien
tists of Europe.
Senator Gore believes that if Thack
era reports favorably the method should
be investigated by the United States.
The -enator is of the opinion that an
official report on the Friedman discov
ery may settle for all time its value so
far as this country is concerned. A
large number of copies of the report
will be printed and the details pub
lished broadcast.
