to l>af»range Monday and for me to
be sure and get bis mail, as there was
a letter from Kansas City, to open it
and read it. He said. ‘If my wife is
still sick in a hotel there, get a
money order for $10 and send it to
her. I told him. ‘Sure, I would.’
Monday I went to the postoffice,
got the mail ami came back to the
room. I felt so bad I didn’t look at
it. That afternoon I went to look
at some rooms on Buckie Street and
also Mi. Baker On Baker Street I
fainted and a lady gave me some
medicine.
• 1 don’t know what it was. 1 came
back by a drug store and took a big
dose of capudine. When I got. to the
hotel I was too sick to get the money
order. At 4 o’clock Dr. Kiebrnan came
and gave me some varlnol. He left
two 5-grain tablets for me to take
if I was not relieved. I met Mr. Ap
pelbaum that evening in the. room.
Gave Her Letters to Keep.
"I waited for him a long time in
the lobby, but I was so weak I had
to go upstairs and wait. When he
came in he was drinking and very
despondent. I gave him his mail anci
told him that I had not oi»ened any
of it. He said: ‘What’s the matter,
dearie. You are my little private
secretary.’
"1 said 1 understood, but there
are some letters that looked suspi
cious and 1 asked him to read them
to me. He said that he wouldn’t, as
they were old letters that the former
Mrs. Appelbaum used in getting her
divorce. He said they were bad let
ters and he didn’t want me to read
them. H»* said If 1 would promise not
to lie would let me keep them
"I told him I would put them in
my hat ajiU he said that was no place
for them. He then wrote a letter to
his firm and went out to mall it and
get the mail.
"When he came hack he demanded
money. I told him: 'Jerry, darling,
you know 1 haven’t got any money.
If I did I would give it to you.’ H
said If I would give him my earrings
he could get $500 on them. I told
him 1 had decided to save them until,
Claude finished school.

"He was so despondent then nnrt

lived until morning I would dispose
of the earrings and get rid of the’
cause of trouble, lie broke down and

kill himself. I tried to pacify him

have had the earrings to get money
on. It »vas after his death I learned
he was short and threats had been

everything in his power to make me
give up the earrings. He was un

Put Her Outside Door.
"Finally he put me outside of the
door with nothing but my nightgown

It was cold, but he made me stay out
a long time. I did not want to do
him an injury, so I did not report him
to the hotel. I just waited. Finally he
came to the door and let me in. He
said he hoped 1 had decided to quk
my stubbornness.
"I told him, ‘No, Jerry, I will keep
my promise and give the earrings to

"Then he got very mad and poured
a pitcher of ice water on me, and I,

my word of honor I don’t know an
other thing until I awakened in an
other room the next morning—the
housekeeper’s room—and a lady was
bathing my face in iced water. I
never had such pain in my life.
"Homo one asked me if I would not
make a statement and I told them
that I would not; that I was going to
protect Mr. Appelbaum.
“I Could Not Have Hurt Him.”
"Don’t you know,” she continued,
turning to the Jury, "I could not have
hurt him with a heart in my body
like that? I asked what the trouble
was, and they told me that he was
hurt; that he had a little scratch on
hi** arm.
"Then they took me to the room
and let me dress. I went downstairs,
for I thought that Mr. Appelbaum was
in the office. He wasn't there, and I
started for the street. A policeman
stopped me and told me not to go out,
for they would get my picture. I
asked him what they wanted that for,
and he said it was just a curious cus
tom they had in Atlanta.
“Finally the patroi wagon came and
I told them not to take me down
there, but they told me that it was
the only way to have my picture
taken.
"About those letters*, I never doubt
ed him about those letters, and I do
not believe that even under the influ
ence of drugs, loving Mr. Appelbaum
as much as I did, that T could have
committed an act of that kind and
forget It.
"1 am as innocent of doing him
harm as an angel in heaven."
Innocent if Drugged.
If the jury believes that Mrs. Ap
pelbaum killed her husband while un
der the Influence of hypnotic drug and
not In her normal state of mind, then
she must be declared Innocent of the
Charge Of murder. This will be the
one exception to a formal charge to be
rendered by Judge Roan when the
trial of Mrs. Appelbaum goes to the
jury this afternoon, according to a
statement by the court to-day.
The cas«* !.«•• expected to go to the
jury by 4 o’clock this afternoon. At
torney Moore, at the afternoon ses
sion. began making the last argument
for the defense. Solicitor Dorsey, for
the State, will conclude.
J Lawrence Jones, of Charlotte.
N. C., made the opening argument for
the defense. He spoke for ten min
utes and did not attempt to outline
the case.
Calls Her a Sainted Mother.
"1 believe Mrs. Appelbaum to be a
sainted mother." said he. "Appel-
jaum played the human roulette and
lovt. On one side tlie sorrows of his
wife, on the other the horrors of his
financial condition drove him to ruin.
And when he realized himself at the
edge of the precipice he shot himself
rather than go over.
L was undecided as to coming to
Atlanta to participate in this case,"
he concluded, “but my sister pleaded
with me to come, saying T might be of
some assistance to a good woman.”
Attorney Branch followed Jones,
speaking for twenty minutes, leaving
the principal argument to Attorney
Moore. Attorney Thomas B. Brown,
who has assisted Solicitor Dorsey,
opened the argument at 10:45 o’clock.
State Makes Rebuttal.
After the defense concluded Its tes
timony, the State Introduced a num
ber of witnesses in rebuttal. Eugene
Hazard, a negro bellboy at the Dakota
Hotel, told of accompanying Mr. and
Mrs. Appelbaum to their room one
night. 4
He said that Apeplbaum was laugh
ing and Mrs. Appelbaum sdid: “You
may think it is funny now, but just
wait until we get In the room."
The boy could not place the date,
though, beyond the fact that it was a
few nights before the day of the
shooting.
T. B. Hopkins, foreman of the
grand Jury which indicted Mrs. Ap
pelbaum, testified as to the evidence
of (1. Cohen before the grand jury.
He said Cohen testified that he had
heard a muffled sound after the first
two shots, but that he had covered
his head after the second, and was
not sure whether the third sound was
that of a shot or not.
Witness Under Attack.
Rev. J. E. Daniels, pustor of the
Bakewood Heights Church, who also
was a member of the grand Jury, cor
roborated Mr. Hopkins’ testimony.
Joe B. Jacobs, a pawnbroker, was
introduced as a character witness
and said Cohen’s character was bad.
John Black, city detective, was placed
on the stand and said he would not
believe Cohen under oath.
Newport Hanford, chief of City de

Mrs. Appelbaum the morning of the
shooting “She talked freely of the
case and said she did not know
whether she had done the shooting or
not. but that if she had. U was Cod’s

Representative Moore, Pennsyl
vania Republican, Answers the
Questions He Framed.
WASHINGTON, April —Con
gressman J. Hampton Moore, a Penn
sylvania Republican, found a new
way to deliver a tariff speech in the
House to-day. Mr. Moore conducted
a tariff "catechism” by having the
House clerk read questions tlie mem
ber bad prepared and tfhich Moore
answered from the floor.
The catechism began when the
clerk asked; "When was the first tar
iff act passed?’’ Questions and an

swers then took tariff legislation step
by step up to the Ur./erwood bill,
which was "roasted" by Ml Moore.
Moore called his speech a "tariff
primer," and the spectacle was with
out precedent in the House. Con
gressman Moore explained lie took
this unusual method of speechmaking
following the "Stop, Look. Listen."
example of President Wilson, who,
a few days ago, addressed the House
on the tariff issue-
Why the Payne Bill Passed.
"Why was the Payne bill passed?"
Moore was asked.
"Becaues the Democrats were con
tinuously misrepresenting the tariff
question," said "Pupil'’ Moore.
"Did the Payne bill revise the tariff
downward ?’’
"It did. and equalized many duties."
“If the people enjoyed such won
derful progress under the Payne lavO,
why did they complain?"
"They listened to ambitious politi
cians, agitators without consciences,
Journalistic organs with axes to grind,
magazines seeking pap, essayists who
found it more profitable to write fic
tion than to work, theoretical college
professors, non-pr6ducers and a few
sincere reformers usually misinformed
and frequently misled," answered
Moore.
The clerk then asked Moore what
was meant by the Wilson-Underwood
bill.
Takes Slap at President.
"The bill introduced by Chairman
Underwood, exponent in the House
of the theories of President Wilson;,’’
was Moore’s reply.
Congressman Moore also got' in a
shot at the “distressing consequences"
of Democratic power in the nineties,
which were followed by a return to
Republicanism and the enactment of
the Dingley law. The industries of
the country, he answered, thrived
both under the Dingley and Payne
laws, but many of them would be
wrecked under the Underwood bill.
Mr,. Moore declared that President
Wilson favored the breaking up "of
industrial establishments if they can
not operate on equal terms with these
abroad.
"In what respect has the gentleman
from Alabama indorsed the views uf
President Wilson?" he was asked. *

"The Underwood bill threatens the

$100,000,000 worth of revenue collected

HARDMAN PIANO USED EXCLUSIVELY
Despite the fact that she was or
dered held by Justice Ridley In bond
of $700 for bigamy, Mrs. Jack Mash
burn, the 17-year-old LaGrange girl
who openly scorned C. W. Smith, a
LaGrange farmer, Husband No. 1,
when they met in court, to-day de
clared that she i9 supremely happy.
Smilingly coyly, she said:
"Vou know, l‘m happy for two great
reasons. The first is that Jack, my
darling Jack, was turned loose and
didn't have to go to jail. The second
reason is that I know that true love
will triumph.
“My first marriage with that coun
tryman, Smith, doesn't count at all.
she continued, with a merry laugh.
"The trouble with him is that he was
trying to interfere with true love, and
he got bumped. He know s I don t love
him and never loved him, and why
doesn’t he let me alone in my joy?"
Swears Loyalty to Mashburn.
She insisted she would stick to
Mashburn, no matter what the out
come of her case.
"They may send me to the pent-
tentiary, but T would claim my love
when I got out," she said.
"If these judges and officers only
knew Just how my heart is bulging
out with'love for my .dear Jack they d
have human feeling and sympathy-
enough to-turn me loose.
“But then they've turned Jack loose,
anyway, and this makes me happy.
Oh, 1 wouldn't have him to suffer for
anything. They can do whatever
they may w-ith me, but I don’t want
thefn tp harm Jack.
“You know this is the way I reel
about it—16ve is the whole thing with
a girl, and I think she should have
full swing when it comes to love.
Every girl should marry the man {she
loves, no matter what obstacles are
placed in her path. She should let
no one persuade her to do otherwise.
I listened to persuasion and allowed
mvself to be forced into a loveless
marriage. You see the consequences.
It has brought down on me all of this
trouble.
Her Love Philosophy.
"If a girl wishes to be happy in
matrimony site should choose for her-
self—follow the dictates of her own
heart and conscience. There may be
certain traits in a man's character
that will cause a certain girl to fairly
adoro him,.while they might not at
tract the attention of other persons.
Hence, when a girl feels real, true
love, she should cherish it and put
it above the likes and dislikes and
whigis of others.
"By listening to others instead of
to the prnm'ptings of my own heart,
you see, I’m stamped as a bigamist
But 1 don't feel that I'm a bigamist,
because I don’t consider that I was
ever married to Charlie Smith.”
Mrs. Mashburn was put under $700
bond by Justice Ridley, when her
counsel, Colonel E. A. Jones, of La-
Grange, waived preliminary hearing.
Tlie case of Mashburn was dismissed,
as the prosecution had no evidence
to show that he had any knowledge
that the girl had another husband at
the time ho married her.
Sheriff O. H. Florence and Deputy
Sheriff Gus Reed, who came here to
take Mrs. Mashburn back to La-
Grange in the event she was not held
,.by the Atlanta court, have returned
to LaGrange.

Underwood Not to
Allow‘‘Gag Rule.”
WASHINGTON, April 25.—Demo
cratic Leader Underwood to-day was
ubjected to much pressure to hasten
the passage of the tariff revision bill
in tlie House. He refused, though, to
allow any gag rule to be brought in
until a reasonable amount of debate
has been allowed.
Representative Hardwick, of Geor
gia, is trying to adopt a special rule
whereby all debate under the flve-
minute rule, or the greater part of it,
would be eliminated and the bill
brought to the stage of final passage
next Tuesday. Minority Leader Mann
said there was no disposition, qq- ttje
part of the Republicans to filibuster.
He insisted that the bill should have
a fair amount of discussion.
Secretly, Republicans would wel
come the passing of a gag rule, as
they claim it would give them cam
paign matter.

Kirkland May Quit
As Vanderbilt Head
Chancellor John II. Kirkland, of Van
derbilt University, who is in Atlanta
to attend the Southern Sociological
Congress,/ may become president of the
University of Arkansas, at Fayetteville,
on or about June 1, according to a press
dispatch received in Atlanta to-day.
Chancellor Kirkland, when questioned
concerning this report declared that he
had made no arrangements to leave
Vanderbilt and had received no offer
from the trustees of the Arkansas insti
tution at this time. He added that a
year ago he was tendered the presi
dency of. the. University of Arkansas and
declined it. The office is still vacant.
It is probable, therefore, that the Ar
ansas college 'board contemplates re
opening last year’s negotiations.
