ICISE
Months May Elapse Before Legal
Status of Matteawan Fugitive
in Dominion Is Fixed.
MILLEN, Sept. 5—As the time
iraws near for the trial of Mrs. Edna
Perkins Godbee on the charge of kill-
ng her divorced husband and his
roung bride, her successor in his af-
'ections, there are indications a-
>lenty that the story to he, told will
je lifted out of the commonplace and
sordid setting of jealousy, out of the
limsy plea of emotional insanity and
vill become the human document of
t woman wronged and neglected for
nore than twenty years.
Many people in Southeast Georgia
relieve that the woman on trial for
ter life will have a story to tell that
vill quicken pulses and grip hearts
ind excite sympathy, and the trial is
anticipated with a breathless eager-
less.
The Grand Jury of Jenkins County
vill assemble Monday to consider the
•ase of Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee.
vho, less than a month ago, met her
’ormer husband in the Milten post-
>ffice, arm in arm with his laughing
ioung bride, and who shot them to
leath with hardly a word of warning,
rite trial of the ease will proceed al-
nost immediately, it is expected, be-
'ore Judge Henry C. Hammond.
Awaiting trial, Mrs. Godbee remains
n a comfortably appointed cell in the
lenkins County jail She is a woman
if pleasant appearance, hardly look-
ng the fact that she is a grandmother
ind the mother of a daughter who is
mown widely for her beauty. Mrs.
Jodbee is undisturbed, it seems, almost
heerfui, and ready to talk on any
iUbjeet except that of herself and her
jase.
Hard to Find Jurors.
Considerable difficulty, it is expect
ed, will be attached to the selection
M a jury. Either Mrs. Godbee or
ter slain husband is kin to. every
;hird man, woman dr child in Jenkins
bounty, and everybody knows, 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-
ated by blood or marriage to one or
ttie other may have fixed opinions
which will eliminate them. As it is,
the case is on the lips of every one,
ommon 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 be
based altogether on that plea. Those
who know her declare that her actions
ot a lifetime contradict the argument
of lack 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
in her handbag the morning of the
tragedy leads to the certain conclusion
that the killing was premeditated. No
other motive would have influenced
her to go about armed, it is generally
considered.
Fascinated by Shooting.
But the motive that prompted her
to tire 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. God
bee 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 woman’s 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-

hickory shifts, turned out Thursday
and Friday all over Arkansas to work
roads, following a proclamation of
Governor George W. Hays, setting
September 3 and 4 as ‘ Good Roads”

Both Governors were clad in regu

Marshall Lays Sins

Vice President Says Mothers and

Tango and Slit Skirt.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Vice
President Marshall’s personal phil

to religion, was expr unded to a huge
audience at Great Falls. Va., to-day,
where he played the role of "preach
er” to a camp meeting. Here follow'
some of the comments of Mr. Mar
shall:
“You wonder why are the tango,
turkey trot and slit skirt; and I say
it is because the mothers of the coun
try are not interested in training
their children.
“If I > *re a higher critic there is
only one commandment I should
change, and for the sake of justice
I would reverse that to read, ‘The
sins of the children shall be visited

Fourth of July's
Death Total Only 32
Figures of American Medical Asso

crease in Number of Casualties.
CHICAGO. Sept. 6.—Thirtv-tw’o
persons died in Fourth of July cele
brations this year, fewer than in any
year since statisticians began record
ing the death toll of fireworks.
Figures gathered by the Journal of
the American Medical Association
compared this total to that of 466 in
1903, the first year the association
counted the victims.
Of this year's victims, thirteen,
most of them little girls, were burned
to death when their clothing caught
fire. Two of these accidents w r ere
caused by supposedly harmless
“snapper” matches. The non-fatal
injuries this year were 1,311, as
against 3,983 in 1903.
MOVE FOR BAIL NOW PLANNED
Attorneys for Stanford White’s
Slayer Believed to Have Played
Masterf'' 1 Legal Coup.
COATICOOK, QUEBEC, Sept. 6.—
One year's time may elapse before it
is legally determined whether Harry
K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat
teawan (N. Y.) Asylum for the Crim
inal Insane, is to be deported from
Canada or is to receive the protec
tion of its laws. Assurance to this
effect was given to Thaw* to-day by
his counsel.
Thaw' is certain that he has won a
long deluy and immediately after
breakf&fct began packing for the jour
ney to Montreal, where he rnuat be
produced in the Supreme Court on
September 15, when arguments will
be delivered on the writ of habeas
corpus secured by J. N. -Greenshields
and N. K. LaFlamme from Justices
Cross and Gervais in the Court of
Appeals.
Minister of Justice Doherty, who is
also acting Minister of the Interior,
is reported to have said to-day at
Ottawa that any appeal from the de
cision of the Immigration Board in
Coaticook ordering the deportation of
Harry K. Tnaw will not be acted on
until the proceedings instituted by
Thaw's lawyers yesterday are dis
posed of.
Jt was reported that Thaw would
be taken to Montreal to-day. His
lawyers will immediately file applica
tion for Thaw's liberation on ball.
Coup a Legal Masterpiece.
It had been supposed that Green-
shields and LaFlamme had withdrawn
from the case, seeing nothing but de
feat. but their retreat was only a
masterly piece of strategy by which
the doors may have been opened f6r
a test of the constitutionality of the
immigration law governing deporta
tion.
Complications have been added to
the general aspect of the Thaw' case
by t|ie events subsequent to the ar-
i rest of William Travers Jerome, ex-
District Attorney of New York, on a
charge of gambling. Mr. Jerome was
to have been arraigned before Mag
istrate McKee at 9:3u this morning,
but Hector Verrett, acting for the
New York law'yer, had the hearing
postponed for a week.
Meantime Mr. Jerome left Canada,
going to Nortons Mills. Vt. In a
sense, Mr. Jerome thus made of him
self a fugitive from justice, reversing
the position of Thaw, who is a fugi
tive In Canada.
Influence has been brought to bear
upon Crown Prosecutor A. C. Hanso n
to have the charge against Mr. Je
rome. who is at liberty on bond,
dropped.
The crown prosecutor refused to do
this.
Says Jerome Set Bad Example.
“I have received many complaints
about the open gambling of Mr. Je
rome and I consider it my duty :o
push this case against him,” said the
prosecutor. “He w*as setting a bad
example. Every one could see him
and his companions playijig.”
This is a sort of puritanical com
munity and gambling is looked upon
as a serious offense.
Hot Springs Starts
Work on Rebuilding
Fire-Swept Section
Conservative Estimate of Damage Is
Now $8,000,000, With $4,000,000
of Insurance.
HOT SPRINGS, Sept. 6.—Conserv
ative estimates to-day place the loss
from the great fire which swept Hot
Springs last night at $8,000,000, with
about $4,000,000 insurance. A mass
meeting t^as held to-day to consider
the advisability of appealing to the
State for military and financial aid.
and also to consider plans for re
habilitating the city.
The loss is twice as great as from
the disastrous blaze which swept
this city in 1905. The burned belt of
110 acres. embracing *0 blocks,
stretches from the southwestern por
tion of the city straight through to
the mountains on the north side. It
will be 90 days befo^ street car serv
ice can be resumed.
The fire originated in a negro
shanty near the Iron Mountain sta
tion, burning that station «nd all rail
way equipment in that section of the
city.
Little Rock sent fire fighting equip
ment on a special train. Governor
Hayes and Mayors of the principal
cities of the State, as well as busi
ness organizations, are offering aid,
and rebuilding plans will start at
once. The Park Hotel will not be
rebuilt.

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
Staten 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 unpreparedn^ss for war is
the opinion of Brigadier General
Phillip A. Reade, I 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 and Moros
said •
‘The test of an army is the charac
ter ofi 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 lerfrned in a minute.
A man can not put on a uniform and
become a general. He 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. 1 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 untfained. 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
wildered 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 in having aliens in the United
j States Army. As a recruiting officer
J 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 the
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 the character
of the troops participating. Bad arma
ment, poor ammunition and lack of
proper commissary facilities are
things which dishearten, but which
an -able commander may be able to

Washington Convinced That He Is
Using Typical Latin-American
Methods in Order to Hoodwink
President as to Real Position,
Gamboa Asserts He Has Received
No Word That Trouble Maker
Will Not Offer Himself as Can

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The
Mexican situation to-day focused on
the declaration of Senor Gamboa,
Mexican Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, that President Huerta has
given no definite pledge not to be a
candidate at the October election.
This haw been expected by Washing
ton officials ever since President
Wilson indicated he believed Huerta
had given such a pledge.
It makes clear to Washington of
ftclaIs that Huerta is playing Latin-
American characteristics with tli
United States, and they can not be
sure of the elimination of Huer i
from the situation while he has any
considerable following in Mexico.
The White House still maintain
silence regarding the coming of Senor
Zamacona to Washington art a confi
dential agent of President Huerta.
Gamboa Denies
Huerta’s Surrender.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 6.—Seii.p
Gamboa, Minister of Foreign Affairs
in a statement .last night, declared:
“I have never given an assurance-
that President Huerta will not be a
candidate for re-election.
Mexico’s position toward the
United States has been defined ab
solutely in the last note from this
Government In the negotiations be
gun by Mr. Lind. Nothing can be
added to that note, which was a fu-l
statement of Mexico’s attitude, and
this has not varied in the least since
it was written.”
Correspondents endeavored to ob
tain a statement from General Huer

of the Interior, but both refused to
discuss the matter.

MEXICO CITY. Sept. 6.—Impeach

Minister of Interior, and the fire
brand of the Huerta Cabinet. Dt
Urrutia, who was responsible for the
recent announcement that Huerta
had sent an ultimatum to Washing
ton giving the United States twelve
hours to recognize President Huerta,
is charged with causing the arrest of
Deputy Calero, whereas the Mexican
Constitution exempts members of
Congress from arrest. Senor Calero
was locked up on the charge that he
was plotting with the Zapatista reb
els, but later was released.
Foreign Minister Gambol has is

learned no steps have been taken to
