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- Continued on Page 2. Column 1. 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.

Brady Mayo, 15 years old, an employee at the National Pencil Factory, residing at No. 36 Ir win street, was injured Friday afternoon when his foot became caught between the elevator caoe and the first floor landing. The boy wae removed to the Grady 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. LAREDO.

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.

W. Collins, wife of a business man j here and a member of one of the most prominent families in Jones County, shot herself to death because ; of ill health 1 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.
