n JUSTICE
Dr. McNaughton's Attorney Is
Retained to Defend Divorced
Wife Who Killed Couple.
MILLEN. Aug. 23.—Following th«
funeral of her daughter, Mrs. Florence
Boyer Godbee, the second victim <*f
the shooting of last Monday, who was
buried Friday by the side of her late
husband, W. S. Godbee, In Waynes
boro, Mrs. G. W. Boyer, of Williams
port, Pa., made her first public state
ment concerning the dual tragelv
since her arrival from Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Godbee was the only daughter
and had been the Idol of the Penn
sylvania home. Nothing had been
spared to give her every advantage.
In speaking of the tragedy Mrs. Boy
er said:
"Florence so often wrote me that
she was aappy and contented. Aftv>r
her marriage I asked her if she real
ized how far away she would bo
from mother. She said she did, but
that she loved Judge Godbee and
would be cared for and protected. We
all loved him, and he was so careful
to assure me time and again that
Florence would be well provided for.
I did not want her to come so far
away, but when I thought over it I
decided not to Interpose where her
happiness was concerned.
"Now it's all over. My grief ‘s
more than I can bear and my daugh
ter's place in my heart will never be
filled.
Wants justice Done.
"As to the divorced wife, I hope
justice will be done. My daughter
had never done her any harm, and
how she will ever have any peace
again I can not c e.
"My daughter had never been
South before, but she often wrote mo
of things down here and said it was
a great place and the people were so
good and kind. She said she would
always want to livo in the South
And now that she is dead, I want h^r
to sleep forever among the people she
had learned to love so well and
among whom she was contented and
happy.”
Judge Godbee’s snfe has been
opened and his effects have been gone
over. All his private papers have
been left in charge of W. 3. Wallace,
at the request of all Interested par
ties. He and the Rev. E. E. Ron u
Judge Godbee’s pastor, read thepu
Practically all his real estate holding*
were in the name of his daughter,
Miss Maggie Godbee, who lives In I
Augusta. He had one policy of insu r -
ance for $1,000 payable to his slain
wife.
No Will Contest Likely.
It is not probable that there will
be litigation concer. ing the division
of his property. It Is well worth $30.-
000, and practically all goes to his
daughter Maggie. Hla will was made
in 1910, and as he married since then,
the Georgia laws make this will void
However, as all his holdings were in
the name of his daughter Maggie, by
direct deed, there is little over which
to contest the will. None of these
deeds were on record, and he heid
power of attorney from his daughter.
In the last few years several suits
had been started to force him to re
veal the legal status of his property,
but he either settled or defended them
successfully.
The deeds were placed on record
and the will probated In common
form before Judge F. G. Rabb, Or
dinary of Jenkins County.

to tho objection of Representative
Mann, of Illinois, a resolution grant
ing President Wilson the right to
accept and place In the White House
a bust of William Pitt, ns a gift
from an American woman now' in
England, the House failed to pass the
measure. President Wilson sent a
special message to Congress asking
that he be permitted to receive the

"It seems to me that we should re
member," said Representative Ken
nedy, of Pennsylvania, "that in the
King's closet at Windsor Castle, is a
portrait of Thomas Jefferson. If they
keep a picture of Jefferson in Wind
sor Castle, we could well have a bust
of William Pitt in the White House."
But he vvfig overruled by Represen.

OSHKOSH, WIS., Aug. 23.—Mrs,
B. C. Gudden, one of the leading
clubwomen of Wisconsin, In reply to
the antl-Huffrage speech of Senator
Tillman, says:
"The sooner men are disfranchised
the better for the State and family,
judging from Senator Tillman’s anti-
suffrage comparison of politics with
defiling pitch. He w'ould prefer de
graded, corrupt politics to degraded
and bad women, an Insinuation which
affronts more than a million earnest
women voters and indirectly millions
of good men.”

CLANTON. ALA.. Aug. 23— Path
finder E. L. Ferguson, of the Hearst’s
Sunday American coast-to-coast au
tomobile highway tour, struck Mid
dle Alabama with his gospel of good
roads to be taught a lesson himself.
Between Birmingham and Clanton
four different squads of men were
passed who were grading and improv
ing the highway. Matured corn and
cotton were being cut down to widen
the road. The people met the good
roads scout car w'lth open arms.
G. W. Wade, proprietor of the hotel
here, received the party as royal
guests. He said:
"I’d rather have good roads than
your money. You are my personal
guests.” N
v Clanton Is halfw'ay between Bir
mingham and Montgomery. It w'as
reached late Friday afternoon, a Jour
ney of 53 miles. In Shelby County the
work in progress was on a State aid
road. The other work was specifical
ly for the transcontinental highway.
At every town and village on the
route large welcoming delegations
were seen. Mr. Ferguson said he
found Friday one of the most encour
aging pathflnding tour days of the
week.

point of the tour is New Orleans. Mr.
Ferguson is thinking of c hanging the
route to go by Meridian.
Saturday morning the party was
speeding toward Montgomery.

SAN FRANCISCO, Apg. 23.—E
Drew Caminetti, son of a wealthy and
prominent family, whose father is
politically powerful, to-day admitted
that he was near a nervous break
down over the approach of his trial,
which begins Tuesday before Federal
Judge Van Fleet. Following the con
viction of Maury I. Diggs, former
State architect, on a charge of being a
white slaver, Caminetti must face the
same charge and hear the same evi
dence against him that convicted
Diggs.
In an interview to-day he said:
"I do not attempt to condone a breach
of Federal law, but I am not a white
slaver, and I will not plead guilty to
the charge against me.”
Caminetti will not deny the truth
of any statement that Lola Norris
makes on the witness stand.
"When Man’s Sin Comes Home.”
"God knows,” he said, "that it is
going to be hard for me and for
Diggs, but infinitely worse for the
two women in the case. I know from
my experience before the trial.
"That is where a man’s sin co^mes
home to him. It Is hard enough ^for
all of us, but doubly hard for Lola
Norris. As for Marsha Warrington,
I feel, perhaps, less sympathy, for
she used reprisal. Anything that
Lola may say on the witness stand
will have no denial from me.”
Not Reconciled With Wife.
Speaking of the rumor that he was
to plead guilty, Caminetti said:
"I am not guilty of any intent or
action under the white slave law.
I do not condone my offense, but
surely it is only natural to say that
this is an offei.se that is being com
mitted by thousands every day and
for which there is no impeachment
or even blame.
"I am not afraid to face trial. I
have sinned, but I have not sinned
as this Mann act would make it ap
pear. I can only hope that prejudice
will be stricken from the courtroom
when I am put on trial.”
There has been no reconciliation
between Caminetti and his wife.
