MILLEN, Sept. 6.—As the time
draws near for the trial of Mrs. Edna ,
Perkins Godbee on the charge of kill
ing her divorced husband and his
young bride, her successor In his af
fections, there are indications a-
plenty that the story to be told wilt
be lifted out of the commonplace and
fordid setting of jealousy, out of the
flimsy plea of emotional insanity and
Will become the human document of
a woman wronged and neglected for
more than twenty years.
Many people In Southeast Georgia
believe that the woman on trial for
her life will have a story to tell that
will quicken pulses and grip hearts !
and excite sympathy, and the trial is |
anticipated with a breathless eager- |
ness.
The Grand Jury of Jenkins County
will assemble Monday to consider the
case of Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee.
who. less than a month ago, met her
former husband in the Millen post-
office, arm in arm with his laughing
young bride, and who shot them to
death with hardly a word of warning.
The trial of the case will proceed al
most immediately, it is expected, be
fore Judge Henry C Hammond.
Awaiting trial. Mrs. Godbee remains
in a comfortably appointed cell in the
Jenkins County jail She is a woman
of pleasant appearance, hardly look
ing the fact that she is a grandmother
and the mother of a daughter who is
known widely for her beauty. Mrs.
Godbee is undisturbed, it seems, almost
cheerful, and ready to talk on any
subject except that of herself and her
case.
Hard to Find Jurors.
Considerable difficulty, it is expect
ed, will be attached to the selection
of' a jury. Either Mrs. Godbee or
her slain husband is kin to every
third man, woman or child in Jenkins
County, and everybody know's, to the
degree of intimacy, the families of
both. Jury selection, then, will be
difficult, certainly, for it is expected
that the veniremen who are not re
lated by blood or marriage to one or
the other may have fixed opinions
Which will eliminate them. As it is,
the case is on the lips of every one,
common subject for speculation in ev
ery household.
Common speculation also hinges
about Mrs. Godbee’s probable motive
in killing Judge Godbee and his wife.
Although it has been stated she will
plead emotional insanity, there are
few who believe her defense will he
based altogether on that plea. Those
who know her declare that her actions
of a lifetime contradict the argument
of ,aek of balance. Her self-posses
sion before the crime and since the
crime has been remarkable, it is said.
The fact that she had the revolver
i„ her handbag the morning of the
tragedy leads to the certain conclusion
that the killing was premeditated. Xo
other motive would have influenced
her to go about armed, it ts generally
considered.
Fascinated by Shooting.
Hut the motive that prompted her
to fire a shot into the brain of the
youthful bride is shrouded with mys
tery Mrs. Godbee the first had no
grudge against Mrs. Godbee the sec
ond except the natural grievance that
comes With jealousy. It is considered
that in the excitement of the moment,
after she had begun to work the
trigger rapidly, fascinated by the
sound of shots and the thrill of shoot
ing. She almost involuntarily turned
the revolver on the woman.
The most common anticipation con
cerning the defense is that Mrs. Goa
tee will charge her former husband
With brutal treatment and neglect,
beginning even in the years of their
early married life, 25 years ago.
For many years she stood the ill-
treatment. it is expected she will tell
the jury, for the sake of her children,
until there came a day when she
could bear it no longer. The God-
bees separated several times, but were
reunited much against the advice of
the womans friends. Finally came
the separation that divorce made per
manent.
Mrs Godbee has claimed, time and
again that her husband had usurped
the fortune inherited by her from
her father, and that on the wealth
thus taken from her, he lived in af-

ANNISTON, Sept. 6.—Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, candidate
for United States Senator, was loudly
applauded here to-day when he ac
cused Governor Emmett O'Neal of
usurpation of power and the rights of
the people in making an appointment
of United States Senator to succeed
the late Senator Joseph F. Johnston,
stating that he was afraid to call spe
cial session of the Legislature. He
referred to the Governor in scathing
terms several times, and each ref
erence brought forth applause.
Hobson declined to recede from his
stand for a larger navy, which he
termed the cheapest insurance in the
world. He made his chief plea upon
a platform of service, stating that
to perfect a system that
would give every boy and girl in
America an equal opportunity' for
educational development is his chief
ambition.
Turning to the old veterans, Hob
son said many of them had done
more fighting before breakfast than
was done in all the Spanish war, and
that he did not pride himself on his
naval services.
Hobson denounced the ‘flying
squadron" that ts proposed to defeat
irrm and the political “bosses" of the
State and nation, whom he classed
under the old regime. He spoke in
praise of the personal character of
Senator Johnston.
Look to Underwood
To Defeat Hobson.
BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 6.—Con
gressman Oscar W. Underw’ood of the
Ninth Alabama District is the 'only
man who can defeat Congressman R.
P. Hobson for the Vnited States Sen-
atorship, is the statement of numer
ous citizens of this State.
Announcement has been made that
Congressman Underwood will be
home immediately after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and he will then
make known his candidacy for the
Senatorship, for the long term in
1915. There is no denying the fact
that Congressman Underw r ood is one
of the most popular men of Alabama.
As leader in the House he has made a
name for himself. It is stated by
close friends that he is said* to be in
favor of a promotion, and that being
a fact the time is considered ripe
now to go before the people.
Congressman Hobson is making a
strong fight for the position, and, as
seen by many politicians and others,
has the lead in the race.

NEWPORT, Sept. 6.—Before wax
ing his departure from the deck of

Grand Duke Alexander Michaelevlti h

country,” but he went farther and
declared the American girls more
beautiful than those any other na

Miss Tailer being the most beauti

Beach. He was particularly anxious
to obtain a photograph of Miss Tail

Veteran of Civil and Spanish-
American Wars Says National
Guard Could Not Be Depended
On in Strife With Great Power.
Citizen Soldiers, He Asserts, Are
Brave Enough, but It Requires
Time and Experience to Develop
Warriors to Fill the Bill To-day.
BOSTON. Sept. 6 That the United
States has not thoroughly digested the
lessons taught by wars of the past
and that its refusal to digest such
lessons is the cause of the present
state of unpreparedness for war is
the opinion of Brigadier General
Phillip A. Reade, l S. A., retired.
Seen at his apartment this veter
an of the Civil war, the Spanish-
American war and numerous cam
paigns against the Indians anil Moros
said:
"The test of an army is the charac
ter of its men. The good soldier
makes a good citizen, and the good
citizen can be trained to be a per
fect soldier. But soldiering is an art
—it can not be learned in a minute.
A man can not put on a uniform and
become a general, lie must begin at
the bottom and work up.
"The citizen soldier, upon whom
under present conditions we would
be forced to reply in case of war, is
not a trained soldier. I do not mean
that the militiamen, as we call them
in this State, are not brave men,
courageous men. But they are not
disciplined men. And in war bravery
without discipline avails nothing.
"It is true that in the Revolution
ary war a handful of citizen soldiers
achieved victory at Concord. But in
later engagements our untrained
troops did not show to such good ad
vantage. General Washington found
in several instances that the mili
tiamen ran away under fire.
"During the Civil war we had the
same experience with untrained
troops. They were willing enough to
fight, but they lacked what a soldier
should have—discipline. The aim of
the soldier should be to shoot and
hit the mark. He must be ready to
sacrifice himself in order to shoot and
hit the mark. If he shoots and misses
in order that he may run away, he
is of no use as a soldier. Indeed, he
is a great hindrance, for he is apt to
demoralize other untrained, undis
ciplined men.
History Would Repeat.
"Our militia, in my opinion, has im
proved greatly in the last ten years,
and it will doubtless go on improving.
But the militia belongs to the second
line to the reserve. Should necessity
force us to place the citizen soldier,
willing, but unschooled, in the first
line, history would repeat itself. Be-
v .ldered by the fire, unaccustomed to
obey as the trained soldier obeys, they
run.
"The best soldier is the good citi
zen—the man who loves his home.
That is one reason why I don’t be
lieve hi having aliens in the United
States Army. As a recruiting officer
1 got permission to accept no man
for service who could not read and
write^ the English language.
Short Enlistment Worthless.
"The short-term ^enlistment has
been tried out several times in the
history of this country and has
proven itself worthless Men enlist
ed for 100 days are Just learning th^
rudiments of soldiering when their
term of enlistment ends. The system
of enlisting troops for the term of a
war is much to be preferred.
"It must be remembered the ulti
mate deciding factor of any war,
properly so called, is tiie • haracter
of the troops parth li a ting B id irm i ■
ment, poor ammunition and lack of
proper commissary facilities are
things which dishearten, but which
an able commander may be able to
overcome. But poor, untrained, un
disciplined men present a problem
which no commander can solve.
"It Is th»* man. not the gun. that is
the strength of an army. The poor
soldier couldn’t win a battle with the
finest gun ever made. But give a
well-trained trooper a flintlock and he
knows how to put up some sort of a
fight.”
"Yes, 1 know that it is the genera’,
opinion that the United States could
‘lick’ anybody at any time. Witti
proper preparation, I think she could.
The answer is, ‘Preparedness, pre
paredness, preparedness’'

This has been expected by Washing
