Dr. McNaughton's Attorney Is
Retained to Defend Divorced
Wife Who Killed Coupie.
XflLLEN, Au*. 23.—Following the
funeral of her daughter, Mrs. Florence
Boyer Go<1t>ee, the second victim of
the shooting of last Monday, who was
burled 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 tragetv
since her arrival from Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Godbee was t ie 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 t -xgedy Mrs. Boy
er said:
“Florence so often wrote me that
she was *appy and contented. After
her marriage I asked her if she real
ized how far away she would be
from mother. She said she did, hut
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.
‘*1* w 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 dona. My daughter
had never done her any harm, and
how she will ever have any peace
again I can not e.
“My daughter had never been
1 >uth before, but she often wrote mo
of things down here and said it was
a great place and the neople were
good and kind. Sh said she w-ould
always want to live |n 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 Oodbee’s safe has been
opened and his effects have been gone
over. All his private papers have
been left In charge of \ *. .. Wallace
at the request of all interested par
ties. He and the Rev. E, K. Roi •„
Judge Godbae’s pastor, read theru
Practically all his real estate holding!
were in the name of his daughter,
Miss Maggie God be#, who lives .n
Augusta. He hac 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 comer jig the division
of his property. It l r well worth $30.-
0(0, and practically all goes to his
daughter Maggie. His will was made
in 1910, and as he married since then,
the Georgia laws make this will void
How ever, as all his holdings were int
the name of his daughter Maggie, by
direct deed, there U little over which
to contest the will. None of these
deeds were on record, and he held
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.

SHERBROOKE, QVE., Aug. 23.—
Realizing that deportation awaits
their client, the lawyers represent
ing Harry K. Thaw at a conference
to-day decided to drop th* habeas
corpus proceedings if Thaw would
consent.
H. L. Frazer and W. K. McKeon,
two of Thaw's counselors, visited the
Jail and laid the proposition before
Thaw, who took the matter under
consideration.
The Government has decided to de
port Thaw either to Vermont or New
Hampshire, probably on Wednesday
or Thursday of next week.
A plan Is shaping to snatch Thaw
out of the hands of the law, smuggle
him aboard a private yacht to Buenos
Ayres and eventually to provide him
a permanent haven on a vast private
estate in the interior of Germany.
Oscar Von Hoffman, of Kulmbach,
Bavaria, whose father owns the es
tate In question, outlined this plan
here to-day. Von Hoffman is an old
friend of Thaw. His father Is a big
landed proprietor In the town of
Kulmbach, Bavaria, Germany.
"Suppose Thow Is hustled by his
friends to the nearest seaport on the
New Hampshire and Maine coast,"
said Von Hoffman. “Let him b e put
aboard a private yacht, a fast one. I
expect to be with Thaw through this.
My plan is to take him down to
Buenos Ayres to get a good rest, sev
eral months, If necessary. Later,
when Thaw wishes, we will charter a
yacht and steam across the Atlantic
to a German port.”
Thaw now has retained ten lawyers
and Is negotiating with attorneys In
New Hampshire and Vermont to open
a fight there for him if he is sent over
the line in one of those State*.
It was learned to-day triat Thaw,
had no railway ticket for Detroit,
Mich., when arrested on Canadian soil
and can not claim to be a tourist j
passing through this country.
Minister of Justice Doherty to-day i
branded as "nonsense" a report that
the Government had decided to allow
Thaw to leave this country on a pri
vate yacht.
The New York authorities have
ceased asking that Thaw be deported
to that State
Thaw tried to gete permission to
attend church to-morrow, but It was
refused him
This afternoon Roger Thompson
denied reports that he was about to
make a statement. The lawyers have
patched up a truce between Thomp
son and Thaw.
Under the Canadian law the Immi
gration officials will take charge of
Thaw ae soon as he gets out of the
custody of the Superior Court next
week. A court of Inquiry then will be
held and It then will be decided that
Thaw Is an unaesirame alien citizen.

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 with open arms.
G. W. \Vade, proprietor of the hotel
here, received the party as royai
guests. He said:
"I’d rather have good roads than
your money. You are my personal
guests.”
Clanton is halfway between Bir
mingham and Montgomery. It was
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
rdute large welcoming delegations
were seen. Mr. Ferguson said he
found Friday one of the most encour
aging pathflnding tour days of the
week.
After Montgomery the objective
point of the tour is New Orleans. Mr.
Ferguson is thinking of changing the
route to go by Meridian.
Saturday morning the party was
speeding toward Montgomery.
