Woman Sentenced to Spend Rest
of Days in Prison Is Confident
of Final Victory—Reassures
Friends Who Crowd Her Cell.
Hearing of Argument for New
Trial Set for October 21 in Au
gusta—Daughter Is Pathetic
Figure in Sensational Case.
MILLEN, Sept. 13.—As calmly as
she heard herself sentenced to life
imprisonment, Mrs. Edna Perkins
Godbee sits in her cell in the Jenkins
County jail to-night, and hopefully
discusses with heF friends the pros
pects of obtaining a new trial. For
the public she has not a word, coolly
dismissing all would-be interviewers.
But to her friends she readily gives
audience.
Not for a moment has the woman
revealed a lack of composure. Wom
en who know her well have come
weeping to her in jail; there are many
men, also, to express sympathy. Some
of them she greets with a slight
smile, and none is as composed as
she.
‘Til be freed In the long run,” Is
her invariable response to all her
sympathizers. To some she even has
expressed the firm belief that her
petition for a new trial will be grant
ed.
Judge Frank Saffold, her attorney,
will file immediately the formal mo
tion for a new trial, supplementing it
with extensive grounds of appeal la
ter. probably the last of next week.
The hearing has been set for October
21 in Augusta
Many there are who believe Mrs.
Godbee's calmness is due not so much
to self-control and coolness of nerve
as to actual indifference. Her remark
is recalled, made to one of her sis
ters soon after Judgment was pro
nounced on her:
“My life and liberty mean nothing
to me personally. For twenty years
I have been unhappy. As long as I
live it will he that way. It Is only
for my children that I lived in the
past, and for them only did I desire
an acquittal.”
Daughter Is Overcome.
The children, particularly her beau
tiful daughter, Miss Sarah Godbee,
are overcome by the result of the
trial. They, surrounded by friends,
bearing nothing but encouraging as
surances that their mother would be
acquitted, were hopeful of a favor
able verdict. Miss Sarah Godbee
gave way to her grief as she heard
the Judgment of the Jury, and for
several tense, dramatic minutes her
sohs, sounding through the otherwise
still courtroom, thrilled the crowds
who heard her.
The girl had bravely held her place
at her mother's side since the day
when Mrs. Godbee shot her divorced
husband, Judge Walter Godbee, and
his young bride, Mrs. Florence Boyer
Godbee. Judge Godbee was the girl’s
own father, but unhesitatingly she
went to her mother's side and re
mained with her, cheerful through all
the ordeal, holding her mother’s
hand, and patting her mother’s arm
and shoulder throughout the time of
tho trial.
But when the jury came out, and
the girl, her fists clenched, her body
rigid, leaned forward and heard the
verdict, all her oourage went. She
gave a little cry, and her head fell
on her mother's breast. Then It was
that the mother became the com
forter, and the daughter the comfort
ed.
Finally Led to Home.
After a whlie the mother arose at
the Sheriff’s touch on her shoulder,
and followed him to the Jail, which is
near tho courthouse. The girl arose
also but, nearing the Jail gates, her
grief broke out afresh, and she

seemed hysterical. At the Jail she
stopped, and could go no farther,
making 1 no resistance to girl friends
who led her to her home.
Several persons there were, how
ever, who went with Mrs. Godbee Into
the jail, and hardly for a minute has
her cell been empty to-day. Later,
several hours after the jury verdict
came, the daughter came back, her
face haggard and set, and for the mo
ment the appearance of youth gone
She was calm until she entered the
cell, and then she succumbed again
to her emotion.
The verdict of life Imprisonment,
pronounced by Judge Hammond this
morning, came as a result of Mrs
Godbee's trial for killing the young
wife of Judge Godbee. Both the man
and the woman were shot at the same
time, and two charges of murder were
entered. It is likely that Mrs. Godbee
will not be tried on the charge of
killing her former husband, as her
commitment to jail on the life sen
tence will preclude the possibility of
further punishment, except that of
death. And it was never conceived
probable that Mrs. Godbee, being a
woman, would be sent to the gaWows.
The sentence to life imprisonment
was the most that w'as expected. Ex
cept Mrs. Godbee’s personal friends,
no one expected absolute acquittal
for her. but few, on the other hand,
expected the life sentence. Her con
viction of the charge of manslaughter
was considered the most likely out
come of either of the two trials. Con
sequently the town of Mlllen, and the
county of Jenkins, where Mrs. God
bee has lived since infancy, and
where she is known to every man,
woman and child, Is a bit awed by the
judgment
Trial Most Sensational.
The trial has been the most sensa
tional event in the history of the
county, except only the crime which
made the trial necessary. From every
part of the county and from neigh
boring counties, men and women have
come, on trains, by buggies, wagons,
even riding in automobiles, to watch
the course of the woman’s hearing
Through all the volleys of curious
gazes Mrs. Godbee has sat unmoved,
cool, apparently indifferent. And she
remains so to-night, with the pros
pect of a life In prison ahead, and
with little probability, according to
the public opinion, of obtaining a new
hearing.
Most Beautiful and Courted Girls of Period

EXPLORER NEARLY
Daughter of the Convicted
Woman Is Heartbroken
MILLKN, Sept. 13.—The least con-
temed person In the whole Godbee
[rama is the woman who was con-
ricted. She held a regular levee at
he jail this afternoon, where she was
mrrounded by her relatives and
riends. She is wholly indifferent as
o whether she gets a new trial and
ieems absolutely unmoved by the
>rospects of life servitude in the State
>enitentiary.
The one pathetic figure is the
laughter, Sarah Godbee, a striking-
y handsome blonde. Her grief is
Aitiful. From the time the sentence
vas pronounced until the time for
ier to retire to-night her arm was
lonstantly around her mother's waist
ir her golden head was snuggling
tgainst her mother’s breast. She had
Tied until her pretty blue eyes
vere red. The Sheriff consented for
ier to remain in the jail with her
nother during the night.
“Poor mother," she sobbed, "I am
10 afraid for you; I know you did per-
tectly right, and I know you didn’t
ntend to shoot that woman, but they
11 seemed so unkind and so anxious
o see you punished. 1 feel like my
leart will break."
“Don’t cry, my little pet," her
nother replied, "it will be all right,
ny sweetheart. I will get a new
rial and will come clear. We didn’t
ixpect to have to go to trial, and we
rill come out better the next time
vhen we are prepared.”
But to the other women she was
jot so hopeful. "It means nothing
n the world to me personally. 1 don’t
^re whether I stay here the rest of
ny natural life or go. Life for the
Mt ha* a®
much a burden and so unhappy that
nothing matters now. I often won
der why I didn't end it all long ago,
long before I let that man blight my
life and every hope.
"It was only for my children that
I hoped to go free. I wanted to live
on with them—all I have in the
world."
Millen, whose tragedies in the last
month have put it prominently oh the
map, to-night was quiet for the first
time since August 18, when Mrs. God
bee met her divorced husband and
his new bride Jn the postofflce and
shot them down. Since that time ex
citement has been at fever pitch.
Following closely on the Godbee
tragedy, Rufus Bryant, a former couft
bailiff, shot Mrs. Belle New’ton, a
pretty divorcee, and then turned the
revolver on himself and sent a bul
let through his brain.
The following night a negress was
murdered by strangulation. The next
day two white women were shot by a
negro boy.
Mrs. Brader Barker called the re
porter "honey” and told him to sit
by her side.
"Julia!" said Mrs. William Scott,
disapprovingly.
"Well, why shouldn’t I call him
‘honey?’" asked Mrs. Barker. "I’m
a grandmother. So are we all."
The reporter, who had been pilot
ed to the group of five by their
aereams of laughter, was surprised
that it should be so. He remarked
that he would never have guessed it.
"Oh, shucks,” said Mrs. Barker,
"you didn’t have to say that. We’ve
heard a lot of men talk like that.
They're all alike."
They had truly heard many com
pliments before the reporter's sincere
tribute. During the ’70’s they were
the belles of Atlanta, the five most
popular, most beautiful, most courted
of all the very gay set in Atlanta aft
er the war. They were girls together,
and were debutantes together, and
loved the same boys—they confessed
it—and were brides along about the
same time.
Hold a Reunion.
And Saturday afternoon they gath
ered at the home of Mrs. W. E. Aus
tin, at Fifteenth and Peachtree
streets, to talk over for the first
time in years and years the days
when they were belles in Georgia’s
capital.
The five were Mrs. W. E. Austin,
Mrs. William Scott, Mrs. Brader Bar
ker, Mrs. Arthur Caldwell and Mrs.
Lollie Belle Wylie, all living in At
lanta except Mrs. Scott. It was Mrs.
Scott’s trip from her home in Tampa,
Fla., to visit her sister, Mrs. Austin,
that was the occasion for the re
union and the reincarnation of the
days of panniers, and tarlatan dress
es and many petticoats.
The talk dealt most lovingly with
Professor Nichols’ dancing school
where the patricians of Atlanta in
the ’70’s gathered and danced to the
music of black Joe Dobbs’ old string
band.
"And, Mattie, do you remember
how we used to say ‘put your little
foot right there,’ when we danced and
pointed?" This to Mrs. Austin, who
was Mattie Jones in the other days.
"Yes, we had little feet, too.*
Something like a smile of pride.
"And how Fannie Rich waltzed?"
"Yes. and how the girl put her hair
up with sugar water, and got it so
stiff she couldn’t nut comb or rake
through it. Wasn’t she a fright?"
“Who was that?"
"Little ‘Slssle’ Moore.”
Danced Every Number.
The other four looked accusingly
at Mrs. Wylie.
"Was it really you, Lollie Belle?"
they asked.
. "Well," she said, "at least I danced
all the dances, and didn’t sit them
out like Mattie there did. But, then,
more of the boys loved her.”
Mrs. Austin demurred modestly.
"But they did,” protested the oth
ers. “But we were all in love with
Guy Townsend, I think, and Edward
McCandless. Weren't they tho hand
somest men in the world then?"
Silence for a sigh’s space. Then—
“Except my husband."
The five of them had spoken to
gether. Another silence.
Kisses Were Epochal.
"But we didn't love In those days of
old Atlanta as they do now, so tem
pestuously," said one. “About kiss
ing. The year after we were engaged
my husband kissed me only once. We
felt bound to ask our parents if it was
proper.
"I remember the night he kissed me.
He had on a chinchilla overcoat and
a beaver hat, and he was the hand
somest man in the world. And when
he kissed me his hat fell off and
rolled down the steps."
The reporter looked around to see
who it was making this astounding
confession. The five of the belles of
the seventies sat there, the same rapt
expression on every face. And he
never knew.
Then Mrs. Valdwell, Miss Blanche
Glenn she was In the seventies,
turned the subject.
"Ella," she asked Mrs. Scott, "ho#
many wiggle-tails did you drink out
of Professor Smith’s well, do you sup
pose ?"
Mrs. Rcott laughed, and then ex
plained to the reporter.
"You see, we all went to Profes
sor Rmith’s school—Hoke Smith’s fa
ther, he w’as. And we drank gallons
and gallons of water out of the well,
before we found it was full to tho
brim with wiggle-tails. It was a ter
rible period that followed the discov
ery."
A shock of memory came to Mrs.
Austin.
Schoolgirl Ordeals.
"And do you remember how he
made me sit with Winston Grubb?’
she cried. It seems that Professor
Smith’s particular mode of punish
ment was to make his girls sit with
the boys they liked. The ordeal, these
five ladles announced, was terrible.
"But when he made me sit with
Jim Shuttles I was ready to die," an.
nounced Mrs. Wylie.
“All those boys, oh, dear ”
"But we had a good time "
"Better than the girls have now,
even if they don’t wear so many
clothes "
"Oh, those clothes! The more pet
ticoats we had on, the better. And
we were always buttoned up to our
chins, and our skirts w’ere wide, and
nobody wore dresses you could see
through.”
"It was a better day for girls, then,
wasn’t It, Blanche? Even if there
was no turkey trot or tango?”
Mystery of the Petticoat.
"We were happy, sure enough. And
that night he took me to the Rex
ball r
"He? Who?*
"Why, my husband.”
"You always were in love with him,
weren’t you, even w'hen all those oth
ers thought they were first?”
“Yes; but wasn't Harry Hightower
a handsome man?”
"I thought so until the night he
danced with the girl with the red
flannel petticoat. Do you remem
ber?"
"That wa.s th*» night that "
"That what?"
"Oh, nothing." But a tender smile
came.
Simmons, Back From Labrador,
Tells Thrilling Stories of Ad
venture in Uncharted Regions.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 13.--After
penetrating to tne center of the vast
uncharted region of Labrador and
suffering hardships comparable with
those of Peary and Scott, Price A.
Simmons, a Northern explorer, for
mer famous halfback or Yale, re
turned to this city to-day and nar
rated his thrilling experiences.
In the early stages of the journey
he lost one of his guides, whose brains
were dashed out on the rocks when
a canoe upset.
His infftruments, which also were
in the canoe, were lost.
Simmons’ route was through the
unexplored section of Labrador with
Rigolet, on the Atlantic seaboard, as
his goal.
When the guide was killed In Rocky
River Simmons packed the body 60
miles to Shiel, an Indian settlement,
where It was buried.
Along the upper Fraser, Simmons
found the cairn of Hesklth Pritchard,
English novelist and explorer, erect
ed In 1906. On it was blazed: “Only
a w ilderness and dreary waste ahead."
Simmons scratched beneath It with
a stone: "You are damned right."
On the upper Fraser, Simmons’
camp was attacked by tw r o bears
while the party was hunting caribou
and moat of their provisions eaten.
Faced with starvation, they were
obliged to make a dash back to civ
ilization. On the way one of the
guides broke one of his legs and the
rest of the party had to pack him
in.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Identifica
tion of the dismembered body of the
girl victim of tho Cllffslde murder
mystery as that of Annette Day, of
Brooklyn, w^as rejected to-day by the
mother and second brother of Miss
Day. The police now confess them
selves baffled.
Clew after clew’ has been run down,
only to prove worthless. Little hope
is held out either for the identifica

the murderer unless the waters of the
bay or river should give up the miss

body for which diligent search Is being
made.
ROME, GA., Sept. 13.—Chattooga
County has been shaken by the arrest
of seven of its most prominent citi
zens for alleged contempt of court
by order of Judge Wright. They now
are lodged in Jail at Summerville.
They are: The Rev. W. M. Hill, a
Methodist minister; William Bagley,
a wealthy farmer, Baptist deacon and
Masonic officer; W. H. Dempsey,
Washington Reynolds, his son. Ben,
and William Hayes, all farmers, and
the latter’s wife, Ethel Bagley Hayes.
The other prisoner Is a young girl
who makes serious charges against
young Hayes. The alleged contempt
consists of an attempt to settle out
of court the ugly charges against
Hayes and Bagley.
The story began several months
ago when Hayes, a young farmer,
was accused by the daughter of
Washington Reynolds. When war
rants were issued for him he prom
ised to marry the girl, but it is said
that warrants never were served and
that instead of marrying Miss Rey
nolds he married Miss Ethel Bagley.
Soon after the ceremony, the old war
rant was served and Hayes was Jail
ed. Hayes’ father-in-law, Bagley, re
fused to go on his bond.
Accuses Father-in-law.
Angered at the refusal of her fath
er to go on her husband’s bond Mrs.
Bagley, the young wife, retaliated by
telling a sordid story which involved
the elder Bagley and a woman of his
own family. Bagley was indicted
and placed under a $10,000 bond. Thus
the matter stood when court con
vened last week.
The case was docketed to be tried
during the term, but the court soon
heard strange rumors of attempts to
compromise the case and of the
sending away of the witnesses. So
licitor Innis probed the matter and
asked for contempt proceedings. The
result was the jailing of the seven
without bond. The evidence showed
that Reynolds was to receive $150
for dropping the prosecution of
Young Hayes and that Mrs. Hayes
was to leave the country and not ap
pear as a witness in the charges
against her father. The Rev. Mr Hill
was said to be the moving spirit of
the compromise and ail the witnesses
and parties were to go before the
Justice of the Peace and make an
oath of agreement. According to the
testimony they went to the home of
Justice W. L. Hawkins, who doubted
the legality of the proceedings, but
was reassured by the preacher. Tho
next Saturday the seven w’ere put In
Jail by order of Judge Wright.
Minister Weeps at Hearing.
At the hearing the Rev. Mr. Hill
wept and declared his innocence of
any wrong motive, and said that he
believed he was carrying on God’s
work In getting the compromise; that
he was carrying out the divine man
date, "Blessed are the peacemakers.”
The Judge refused to discriminate
between the prisoners .and remanded
him to jail.
The affair has created a tremendous
sensation, owing to the wealth and
prominence of the prisoners. In his
charge Judge Wright declared the
case of contempt to be one of the
most flagrant he has ever had under
his Jurisdiction.
When arrested Hayes and hls wife
already had started for the Alabama
line. They previously had gone
arrrtss, but came back when the Sher
iff arrested them.

Thomas Bishop and Charles Hill lor
Fined In Clash at Judge

A bloodless battle between Attor

without regard to their whereabouts,
the two men exchanged several poor
ly directed blows.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—"Governor
Sulzer, through an emissary, offered
to resign if we would drop the im
peachment proceedings against him.
We declined to do so."
This statement was made to-night
by Aaron Levy, chairman of the As
sembly board of impeachment, after
he had been informed that D. Cady
Herrick, of counsel for the impeached
Governor, had denounced as false a
similar statement made earlier in the
day.
"A direct offer came to the im
peachment board,” added Mr. Levy,
"through a lawyer who spoke of h'm-
self as a lifelong friend of Governor
Sulzer. He Is well known as a for
mer Judge in this city. He told us
he had been authorized by Governor
Sulzer to see us about abandoning
the Impeachment. He said: ‘Governor
Sulzer Is willing to resign If you will
let the impeachment proceedings
drop. He is tired of it all.’
Suggest Compromise.
"When I told him that It was be
yond our power to drop the proceed
ings now, he suggested that a man
like Alton B. Parker be selected by
both sides to compromise the mat
ter.
"I informed him we have evidence
against Governor Sulzer which would
warrant his removal, and the matter
would have to take its course."
When Herrick, at Albany, heard of
this statement, he telegraphed Levy:
"I ask you what the name of the
prominent lawyer Is. Either you are
stating a falsehood or you have been
imposed upon. Governor Sulzer has
no intention of resigning."
Brewer's Teztimony Startling.
According to Mr. Levy, the board
of Impeachment now has evidence
that since the beginning of the im
peachment proceedings Governor Sul
zer has written to prospective wit
nesses urging them not to appear and
testify against him.
Charles Dersch, of the American
Malting Company, was a witness be
fore the board of impeachment to
day. He testified privately that he
had collected nearly $50,000 for Sul-
zer'fl campaign, which was not ac
counted for by the Governor in his
statement of campaign contributions.
The $50,000, It was said, had been
collected from the brewing and malt
ing interests.

MILLEN, Sept. 13.—Mrs. W. G.
Boyer, mother of the bride slain by
Mrs. Edna Godbee, retired early to
night and rested well for the first
time since her daughter was shot
down in the Millen postoffice.
”1 can rest now,” she said, “I feel
for the first time since my little girl
was shot like the guilty always will
be punished. I had grave misgivings
when everyone seemed so confident
she would be acquitted. I did not

think life imprisonment is what she
so justly deserved.
’’A woman like, she is is a menace

have followed. Our American laws
are too light on transgressors. Too
often red-handed murderers escaps

wrong. This woman’s life should be
