some medicine and we went back to
the room He told me he was going
to DafJrange Monday .and for me to
be sure and get his 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.’ 1 told him. ‘Sure, I would.'
“Monday I went to the postofflee,
got the mail and 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 on Baker. On Baker Street I
fainted and a lady gave me some
medicine.
“I don’t know' what It was. 1 came
hack by a drug store and took a big
dose of capudlne. When I got to the
hotel 1 was too sick to get the money
order. At 4 o’clock Dr. Licbman came
and gave me Homo varinol. He left
two 5-grain tablets for me to take
if I was not relieved. 1 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
i amo in he was drinking and very
despondent. I gave him his mail and
told him that I had not opened any
of it. He said: ‘What’s the matter,
dearie. You are my little private
secretary.’
“1 said I 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. Appelbaunl used in getting her
divorce. He said they were bad let
ters and be didn’t want me to read
them. He said if 1 would promise not
to he would let me keep them.
“I told him 1 would" put them in
my hat and 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 mall.
“When he came back he demanded
money. I told him: ‘Jerry, darling,
you know I haven’t got any money.
Tf I did I would give It to you.’ He
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 and
broken up that I told him that If I
lived until morning I would dispose
of the earrings and get rid of the

said If ho didn’t get money he would
kill himself. ] tried to pacify him

he was short and threats had been

“The night before his death he did

give up the earrings. He was un

a long time. 1 did not want to do

my word of honor I don’t know an
other thing until I awakened in an
other room the next morning—th* j
housekeeper’s room—and a lady was
bathing my face In iced water. I
never had such pain in my life.
“Some one asked me If I would not
make a statement and I told them
that 1 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 w'hat the trouble
was. and they told me that he was
hurt; that he had a little scratch on
hip arm.
“Then they took me to the room
and let mf 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 g*t my picture. I
asked him w r hat they wanted that for,
and he said It was just a curious cus
tom they had In Atlanta.
“Finally the patrol wagon came and
1 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, J 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 I could have
committed an act of that kind and
forget it.
“I 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 case is 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
tlie defense. He spoke for ten min
utes and did not attempt to outline
the case.
Calls Her a Sainted Mother.
“I believe Mrs. Appelbaum to be a
sainted mother." said he. “Appel
baum played the human roulette and
loHt. On one aide the sorrows of his
w ife, on the other the horrors of his
financial condition drove him to ruin.
And when he realized himself at the
« dge of the precipice he shot himself
gather than go over.
I was undecided as to coming to
Atlanta to participate In this case,’’
he concluded, “but my sister pleaded
with me to come, saying I might be of
some assistance to a good woman
Attorney Branch followed Jones,
speaking for twenty minutes, leaving
the principul argument to Attorney
Moore. Attorney Thomas B. Brown,
who has assisted Solicitor Dorsev,
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
Mr?. Appelbaum to their room one
night.
He said that Apeplbaum was laugh
ing and Mrs. Appelbaum said: "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 (}. 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, pastor of the
Lakewood 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 plac ed
on the stand and said he would not
believe Cohen under oath.
Newport Hanford, chief of City de
tectives. told of his conversation with
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. it was Clod’s
work and not hers." was his testi
mony.

WASHINGTON, April 26.—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 “caterhlsm” by having the
House clerk read questions the mem
ber had prepared and which 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 Underwood bill,
which was “roasted” by Mr. Moore.
Moore called his speech a "tariff
primer,” and the spectacle was with
out precedent in the House. Con
gressman Moore explained he 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.
WJiy 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 law,
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 fie -
tlon tharj to work, theoretical college
professors, non-producers 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
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 o
Industrial establishments if they can
not operate on equal terms w ith those
abroad.
"In what respect has the gentleman
from Alabama Indorsed the views of.
President Wilson?" he was asked.
Attacks Income Tax, Too.
"In shaping his tariff bill so as to
discourage American" enterprise and
indUHtry and encourage foreigh com
petition to the end that cheaper goods
shall be supplied, though their wages
be lowered and their employment
taken away.
"The Underwood bill threatens the
destruction of the sugar lnduetrv, me
naces the cotton and tvool industries,
and, while admittedly destroying
$100,000,000 worth of revenue collected
at the customs houses from Importers
of foreign commodities, attempts to
make up that deficiency by an income
tax levied directly upon some of the
people and only some of the people
whose offense ip that they have been
more Industrious and thrifty."
Despite the fact that she was or
dered held by Justice Ridley tn bond
of $700 for bigamy, Mrs. Jack Mash-
burn, the 17-year-old LaGrange girl
wfio openly scorned ■C, 'W. Pmith, a
l.aGrange farmer, Husband No. 1,
when they met in court, to-day de
clared that she i9 supremely happy.
Smilingly coyly, she said:
"You know', I'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 knows I don t lov?
him and never loved him. and w hy
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 peni-
tentiary, but I 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, I wouldn’t have him to suffer for
anything. They can do whatever
they may with me, but I don’t want
them to harm Jack.
"You know this is the way I .eel
about it—love 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
myself 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 she 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
adore 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
whltri* of others.
"By listening to others instead of
to the promptings of my own heart,
you see, I’m stamped as a bigamist
But I don't feel that I'm a bfgamist,
because I don’t consider that 1 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.
The 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 he married her.
Sheriff O. H. Florence and Deputy
Sheriff Gus Reed, who came here to
take Mrs. Mashburn back to I -a
Grange In the event she was not held
by the Atlanta court, have returned
to LaGrange.
RALEIGH, N. C„ April 25.—Bare,
black walls, with parts of machinery
protruding from the windows, to-day
mark the site where yesterday stood
the handsome building of The Raleigh
News and Observer, the newspaper
property of Secretary of the Navy Jo
sephus Daniels. The loss from last
night’s lire to-day is estimated. at
$60,000, the press and stereotyping
equipment not suffering as much as
was at first believed.
Secretary Daniels will arrive this
afternoon and to-night will make
plans for rehabilitating the plant. The
paper will be published for the pres
ent from the office of The Raleigh
Times.
Lack of water was largely respon
sible for the heavy loss.

Underwood Not to
Allow “Gag Rule.’’
WASHINGTON, April 25.—Demo
cratic Leader Underwood to-day was
subjected to much pressure to hasten
the passage of the tariff revision bill
In the 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 tinder the five-
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 on th.e
part of the Republicans to filibuster.
He insisted that the bill should have
a fair amount of discussion.'
Secretly, Republicans would wel

ates uric acid, and when uric acid
gets in the blood it poisons the
svstem. This Is termed Autotox

pation. indigestion, biliousness,
dyspepsia, sick headache, languid-
ii ass -and a weakened physical con
dition result. Eliminate Autotox

dreds or years old.

stomach and bowels, dissolves the
uric acid which has accumu
lated and expels it with the fer
menting waste.
