Millen Divorcee Who Killed For
mer Husband and Bride Bitterly
Attacked by Prosecutor.
MILLION, GA., Sept. 12.—The de
fense in the trial of Mrs. Edna God-
bee for killing the wife of her former
husband, took the position here to
day that the defendant must either
be convicted of murder or acquitted.
•‘There are no grades, ’ said Judge
Saif old, leading counsel for the de
fendant.
The defense contends tliar. the kill
ing of Judge God bee Mas justifiable
in that it was done in self-defense,
and that the killing of his wife Mas
an accident.
W. H. Davis, who made the second
address for the State, urged a con
viction saying that the good name
of Jenkins County is at stake; that
respect for the courthouses of Geor
gia is at stake; justice and truth are
at stake.
The defendant watched kcenl> the
efforts of the attorneys in her defense
and those for the State. However,
her expression did not vary.
The jury will get the case by tt p.
in. to-day, it was declared in court.
Defense Hopes for Acquittal.
The defense expects nothing worse
than a mistrial p.nd hopes strongly for
an acquittal, while the State’s attor
neys have contended that it will be
folly to try cases in the future if a
conviction is not secured. The State,
however, intimated that it would be
content with a verdict of guilty and
life imprisonment as the punishment
Colonel Anderson spoke for an hour
He was followed by Attorney Dixon,
for the defense, and the case was ex
pected to go to the Jury some time in
the afternoon.
Anderson declared that the State
contended that the act of the defend
ant was plain, unmitigated murder,
and he said that the case was so one
sided he hardly knew how to argue it.
The speaker said the defendant’s
statement did not s r -em to come from
her heart and that much of it was ir
relevant.
Anderson asserted that the defend
ant could well accuse Judge Godbee
with terrible deeds, for he is dead. He |
ridiculed the idea that Mrs. Godbee’s
life was in danger on the morning
when she killed Mrs. Godbee and her
husband. Mr. Anderson said there
w'as no evidence except the defend
ant's unsupported statement that
Godbee had threatened her; that Mrs.
Godbee could have got protection:
that she never told her sons, her
brothers, or the Sheriff
Attacks Insanity Pica.
The speaker declared the defend
ant's memory conveniently went
blank at the time of the shooting, but
she never missed a single shot.
“She fired five bullets into the bod
ies of Judge and Mrs. Godbee!”
shouted Anderson, “and, not satisfied,
she shot Mrs. Godbee again after she
had fallen."
Anderson said the defendant went
to the postoffice that morning and
took a commanding position. The
undisputed evidence of Miss Barnwell
was to the effect that the defendant
tired the first ^hot into Mr-. Florence
Godbee’s back.
“The evidence ot Mies Barnwell.”
waid Anderson, “was in direct contra-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Urg
ing the enactment of currency
legislation now, even if imper
fections be found in the Glass
bill, Representative Bulkely,
Democrat, of Ohio, and a mem
ber of the Banking and Currency
Committee, spoke in the House
to?day. Representative Hard
wick, of Georgia, attacked the
bill on the ground that it vio
lated the principles of the Dem
ocratic party and would create a
gigantic money trust.
MEMPHIS, TENN., Sept. 12.—
Federal authorities are searching
here for Mrs. James Soler, wife
of a New Orleans artist, and Miro
Tolentino, a Cuban journalist.
Mrs. Soler obtained a registered

the elopers.

Hospital.
COMO, ITALY, Sept. 12.—Phy
sical examination was made of
Porter Charlton, the young seif-
confessed uxorcide, to-day by Dr.
Sala, the jail physician. Dr. Sala
•aid it would be necessary for
him to make a further examina
tion before he could make a re
port on Charlton'* actual physi
cal and mental condition. To all
outward appearances Charlton is
normal, eating and sleeping well.
However, he was reported in the
United States to be a victim of
tuberculosis. On account of the
removal of Judge Regoni to an
other court, criminal litigation in
th s district may be held up so
that Charlton will not be tried
until next year.

List of Candidates Also Shows
Mayor Can’t Win Control.
Registration Light.
The closing of the entry ii3t*for the
city primary at noon Friday decided
three important political issues as
decisively as though it had been an
election.
It made it perfectly clear that there
will be no better chance of getting an
“open town” police policy under the
new Council than under the present
one.
It definitely decided that the new
body would give no more considera
tion to genuine charter reforms than
the Council that chucked the charter
of the “committee* of 25'' into the
waste basket.
It shov ed unmistakably that Mayor
James O. Woodward will have no
more control over the new Council
than lie has over the organization
that has overriden his veto some 35
times.
Majority StiI! is Assured.
All these thing* were made clear bv
the fact that if every candidate who
has even shown a deposition to be
opposed to those now ip authority is
elected, the old crowd would still
have a comfortable majority.
Rumors and political activities had
indicated strongly that there would
be a full opposition ticket out, a so-
called Woodward or “open town”
ticket. The general impression was
that Atlanta was to «*ee a real fight
against the supremacy of Police Chief
J. L. Beavers.
An analysis of the entrants for the
ten Councilmanic and five Aldorman-
ic seats shows all such hopes to be
vain. There w opposition to the pow
ers that be here arid there, but If alf
of them are elected they would stand
as a hopeless minority in Council.
Arid there is about as much chance
of all of them being elected as there
is for the next Governor of Georgia
to be a Republican.
Fight Centers on Aldermen,
The main fight is for tlie Alder-
manic Board. C. H. Kelley, who is
running for John E. McClelland's un
expired term from the Second Ward,
is the only candidate for Alderman
who has no opposition.
There was quite a surprise in the
late developments of the Third Ward
contest. J. C. Harrison, who had
stated that he would run, failed to
put up his 175 entrance fee. Backed
by Mayor Woodward. C. C. McDonald
entered at the last minute in oppo
sition to Alderman Jumcs E. Warren,
Mayor Fro Tom.
Amos Braselton and J. A. Curtis
both are looked upon as “open town"
candidates against Councilman Albert
D. Thomson for Alderman from the
Fourth Ward. Mr. Braselton’a en
trance was an eleventh-hour decision
He was urged to enter the race bv
persons close to Mayor Woodward.
Mayor Bre ke Up Plans.
The Seventh Ward contest has fur
nished the most interesting story of
Inside politics that has so far devel
oped. Dan B. Walraven and Jesse
Armistead both entered, but if certain
plans hadn’t miscarried both of them
would have been nulled down r(n 1
Marcellus Anderson would have been
a candidate without opposition.
It seems that Mavor Woodward had
more to do with breaking up this little
game than anyone else.
The details got out of the inner cir
cle in a report that Mr. Wal raven
! would withdraw and for his courtesy
be given the support of Mr. Anderson
and hie friends for Police Commission
, from the seventh Ward to succeed J.
: N. McEaohern. It was not clear just
| what the motive was for Mr. Arml-
stead to withdraw, but it was etaiei
I that Alderman F. J. Spratling had

Detectives Follow Clew to Place
in Carolina Where the Safe
Was Transferred,
Arrests are expected in the mys
terious $72,000 Southern Express
Company robbery at any moment, ac
cording to word received in Atlanta
from General Manager Hockaday,
who Friday sent Harrv Scott, of the
Pinkertons, and special agents off on
the first train that could get them as
far as Florence, S. C.
“We know the man who got the
money,” he said in Bavannah, “and
we arc going to get him. I have Just
had a report from Hpecial Agent
Thomas J. Watts that days he has Je
an absolute certainty placed his fin
gers on the guilty person.
“He assures me that there is ’:o
mistake, and be is only seeking some
more evidence against the mau before
he finally arrests him.'
Just where the lightning would
strike Hockaday would not state, but
lie admitted having men at every
point between this city and Jersev
City working on the case, and that
he was only using Savannah as a base
for operations. He added:
Expect Arrest in T velve Hours.
“The fact that the trunk's aegis were
unbroken and intact put llio detec
tives on the right trail. They knew
almost immediately where, when and
by whom the money was taken. Fol
lowing up this theory, they were re
warded with success.
“The investigation at this end >f
the lino is virtually comp’ete. This
morning the detectives were given
assignments and dispatched to th«
points they are to cover. We confi
dently expect to have the case wound
up before morning. Developments will
be made known here first.”
Scott earlier in the day announced
he had become convinced that the
money wae not taken while in transit
on the trains from New York to Sa
vannah.
“Th© robbery wa» committed either
at one end of tfie line or the other,
be declared. “The money either wat
stolen soon after it left the Cha»e Na
tional Bank in New York or else after
it had reached Savannah. It seems
most unlikely that the theft took
place in any other manner.
“This la not the work of an ama
teur. nor doe* it seem possible to me
for any of the messenger* to have got
into the safe arid the seals not be
broken. I know we are going to have
our hande; full before the mystery Is
solved.”
The report that the robbery of the
Southern Express Company between
Savannah and New York was not
committed at the southern end of the
line wae further substantiated Fri
day when Scott and other agents left
the city on a northbound train. Their
destination is understood to be Flor
ence, S C„ where Schindell, the mes
senger who brought the trunk out of
Jersey City, turned it over to the mes
senger who brought it into Savannah.
General Manager Hockaday, of the
express company, was the only offi
cer who remained In Savannah.
V*. L. Schindell, express messenger
on the Coast Line’s train No. 89, that
left New York late Monday night and
brought the trunk supposed to con
tain the money, did not leave the car
until It reached Florence, S. C., his
point of relief and home.
Messenger Called Into Probe.
He did not know there was money
In the trunk, he claims, and he had
no way bill for any. He merely had
a way bill for the .steel “through
trunk'* that is often brought down on
this train. He was brought to Sa
vannah from Florence by a telegram
from General Manager Hockaday and
Harry Scott and was closeted wjth
them the greater part of Thursday
evening. He was subjected to a rigid
third degree examination, but came
forth unecathed, according to Scott.
: F. V. L. Smith Learns Fifty-Year-
Old German Government
Ticket Drew Prize.
F. V. L. Smith, a memoer of the
Jury which convicted Leo M. Frank of
the murder of Mary Phagan. agalri
came into the limelight Friday when
a 60-year-old German Government
lottery ticket bought for $20 and held
by him was found to have won a prize
of $15,000 cash.
New’s of the windfall came from
A. J. Mueck, No. 38 Murray street,
New York, who has been investigat
ing the matter for Mr. Smith. Ac
cording to Mr. Mueck, a drawing on
the lottery was made on August 1 and
the ticket held by the former Frank
Juror was the winner.
The number of the ticket is “Braun-
sohweig—-20 Thaler lots—S-2490 No.
9 ” and is one of a series sold by the
German Government a half century
ago for the purpose of raising funds.
Bought by Grandmother.
The ticket was originally pur
chased by Mr. Smith’s grandmother.
Mrs. Sarah E. Wilson. At her death
the ticket passed into the hands of
Mr. Smith's mother, Mrs. Ada L.
Smith, and from her It finally fell Into
his hands.
“One of the most disagreeable tasks
that I had when a boy 30 years ago
and living with my parents In Brook
lyn,’’ said Mr. Smith Friday morning,
“was to chase over to New York
every dny to the office of The Staats
Zeltung the German newspaper, to
make inquiry for my folks as to
whetehr a drawing had been made on
the lottery. I used to wish that there
never was such a thing as a lottery.
Forgot About Ticket
"When the ticket finally came into
my possession, l forgot about it. Then
about five years ago attorneys in set
tling my mother’s estate found the
pasteboard among her paper* and
they advised me to have It look'd
up. Mr. Mueck cabled the authorities
in Germany and found that the lot
tery had not been drawn, and ho he
kept a close watch on It. Now tlie
good news comes that I am a wjfi
ner.”
Mr. Smith Friday sent a power of
attorney to the law firm of Coombs *
Wilson In New York, and prepara
tions to collect the $15,000 prize wit.
be made immediately.
Not Counting Chickens.
“I don’t anticipate any trouble n
drawdng the money,” said Mr. Smith
“especially as it is a Government lot
tery, still I am not going to count my
chickens before they hatch, and not
until I get the money in my hands
will T feel certain of having it.”
Mr. Smith is an agent for severa
electrical appliance concerns with of
fices at No. 1206 Empire Building.

messenger for the Garfield Park State
Savings Bank, and stole more than
