THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
Slayer of Former Husband and
His Bride Gives Homelike
Touch to Prison.
MILLEN, GA., Aug. 27.—In a cell
transformed as if by magic into a
boudoir, as dainty and complete as
can be found in any home. Mrs. Sarah
Perkins Godbee, charged with the mur
der of her divorced husband and his
young bride, awaits her preliminary
hearing in the Jenkins County courts
Thursday as calmly and dispassion
ately as though she had already been
assured of her freedom.
The cell itself reflects the cheerful
ness and Hope that fill the accused
woman's mind. Despite the steel ceil
ing, the rough concrete floors and the
iron bars, her cell is attractive and
distinctly feminine. The roughness
of the floors is concealed by soft rugs,
the iron bars at the windows are hid
den behind little white curtains that
catch every flutter of the breeze; the
toilet accessories, washstand and
china are in blue and white, the color
in which her home is furnished.
All the Comforts There.
Two white beds with fresh linen,
two rockers and several straight
chairs, a little blue and white table
on which rests a vase constantly
filled with fresh flowers, a glass pitch
er of ice water, a glass stand filled
with fruit, a bottle of toilet water,
stacks of magazines and letters—all
combine to transform the cell into a
typical woman’s room.
Mrs. Godbee takes as much care and
pride in her personal appearance as
she does in the appearance of her cell.
She usually wears negligee—a dainty,
pale blue kimono'brocaded in pink
and yeljow butterflies and finished
with Valenciennes laces. She is rarely
alone at night. Her relatives or her
daughter, Miss Sarah Godbee, more
usually the latter, always spend the
night with her. The daylight hours
see streams of friends coming and
going, all with w'ords of encourage
ment and many with fresh dainties
and conveniences for her comfort.
Mrs. Godbee’s calmness and care
free attitude is the marvel of Jenkins
County officials. She talks and laughs
as she did before the double murder
of which she is accused; she chats
freely with her friends, and is always
glad and willing to see visitors. Gos
sip of the current topics of the day
falls from her lips as readily now as
before the crime, and she has become
an inveterate newspaper reader.
Keeps Silerrt on Killing.
Only on one subject does Mrs. God
bee preserve a close silence. Of the
killing of Judge Godbee and the
events leading up to it she will say
nothing. She will give no inkling of
the causes that led her to shoot her
former husbani and his bride, and si
lence is the only answer to inquiries
as to her line of defense.
When the killing is brought up,
Mrs. Godbee always smiles softly and
changes the subject of conversation,
prattling innocently of the latest hap
penings in Millen society or of the
great world events.
The excitement created in Millen
by th e killing has not subsided,
though it has been almost two weeks
since the crime was committed. Sen
timent appears to be divided, some
claiming that the accused woman has
suffered until she could suffer no
longer; while others express the opin
ion that Judge Godbee was not alto
gether to blame for the marital trou
bles that brought on his death.
Odd Light Designs

Unique designs in electric and gas
lighting are to feature the Atlanta

to members of the exhibit committee.

Girl in X-Ray Gown
Mystery at Navy Ball
NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug. 27.—All the
men in the naval set, women, too.
are eager to learn the name of the
young woman who went to the dance

lace in the skirt was of open and
generous design, allowing more than
casual ^impses of shapely, nether
limbs.
The woman is a pronoun^d bru

ing by the abandon and sKill with
which she executed it.

Congressman Looks to Women
Who Combat Extreme Styles
for Nation’s Strength.
WASHINGTON. Auk 27—Women
who shun the Immodesty and impro
priety of present-day fashions can be
relied upon for the future strength
and posterity of the nation, accord
ing to Congressman Thomas Heflin,
of Alabama. Heflin expressed his
opinion of diaphanous feminine drap
ery and the slit skirt craze as fol
lows:
"I w'ould paraphrase the Scripture,
‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’
and say, ‘By their dress or lack of
dress we shall know them.’ The evil
genius of lustful fashion through im
modest dress is playing havoc with a
certain class of women in this coun
try and setting a bad example for
others.
“Thank God. the good mothers have
begun a crusade against this evil.
“The woman who instills in her
daughter the principles of good sense
and modesty and trains her up in the
way that she should go has done more
for her day and generation than she
can ever hope to do by active partici
pation in politics.”
