Inquisitorial Body Will In All
Probability Take Up Poison
Case This Week.
WIDOW SEEMS CONFIDENT
Sees Only Move in Will Contest
in Charge Brought by Rela
tives of Dead Husband.
Grand Jurors of Fulton County will
tills week In all probability begin
their Investigation of the death of
the late Josua B. Crawford, wealthy
Atlantan, whose widow has been
crtarged with poisoning him In order
to get hU riches barely a month aft
er their marriage In 1909.
In the meantime, Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford, the widow, is at her Peach
tree street home, serenely confident
that If the Grand Jury should indict
her she would be promptly acquitted
by a trial Jury. She declares the
bringing of the charge of poisoning
against her was done merely as a
new move of the heirs of the aged
real estate operator, who are fighting
for the >250,000 fortune that was left
to her.
Poison Pretence Admitted.
The report of Dr. H F. Harris that
traces of morphine poisoning were
found in the stomach of the deceas
ed Is not denied by Mrs. Crawford
or her counsel. They glmplv contend
that this drug was prescribed 'for
Crawford during his last Illness, and
declare that the attending physician
will take the stand and testify that
he administered the opiate to relieve
the aged man’s pain.
The Crawford heirs, however, take
an entirely different view of the mat
ter. They charge a deep-laid con
spiracy on the part of Mrs Craw
ford and Fred Dumb, a barber now
In New' York, and who is sought by
the heirs as an accomplice.
Their contention is that when J. B
Crawford, then in his seventies, went
to St. Augustine, Fla., in 1909 In
search of health and took board with
Mary Belle Bishop, the woman then
and there planned to wed the old man
and as soon as she could make him
will her his property, poison him, and
then wed Lumb.
The contesting heirs are nieces and
nephews of the man for whose wealth
they are fighting, and though the will
contest hajs been on practically since
the death of Crawford, it was not
until a few months ago that the
poison charge was made and the
body was exhumed for examination
"f the stomach.
Sheriff Issues Warrant.
A Coroner's Jury at Carrollton, the
old home of the Crawfords, returned
a verdict declaring that the deceased
had come to his death from poison
administered by his wife.
It was then that the Sheriff of
Carroll County mailed a warrant to
the Sheriff of Fulton for the arrest.
When officers went to serve It, Mrs.
Crawford was not at her Atlanta
home, but she afterward surrendered
to the Sheriff here and promptly rur-
nlshed the $6,000 bond required.
Ill addition to the poison charge
the nieces and nephews have alleged
that undue Influence whs exercised
by Mrs. Craw'ford to have herself
made the chief beneficiary In the will,
and witnesses have been introduced
at the will hearing to prove that at
the time he uttered the instrument,
Crawford was not only mentally un
balanced through senility, but was
constantly under the Influence of
alcohol.

Thomas Alra Edison, the "Wizard of
Menlo Park,” whoae life has been one
Invention after another, is back In
his wonderful laboratories here to
day plunged Into nineteen hour* of
work a day, after a fortnight’s va
cation In New England.
That Mr. Edison should take a va
cation at all Is regarded as unusual,
for the "human dynamo,” as he Is oft
en called. Is a tireless worker at tho
age of 66. Fully recovered from a
slight cold, Mr. Edison has been en

then at the summer home of his
wealthy friend, Richard Colgate, thi

Unusually Vigorous.
Those who failed to recognize ths
inventor saw In him sn unusually
vigorous man for his years.
If his hat was off, one noted in
stantly the wide, lofty brow, the brow
of a thinker. Aa General Lew Wal
lace said of Simonides, the steward In
•'Ben Hur,” It la apparent that a man
with such a head must have a tre
mendous brain from cubic capacity, If
nothing else.
Mr. Edison has bright eyes, rray-
blue eyes, that gaze ever so keenly
But they are not merely sharp eyes
They are kindly ones and humorous,
too; for “Wizard” Edison exemplifies
the old saying:
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men.”
Witness his Mttle Joke about “run
ning up to Colgate's to take a bath” —
a sly Illusion to the soap with w'hlch
his host is ever associated.
Brain Works Like Rash.
Dressed usually In a sack suit of
dark mixture, Mr. Edison Is neat in
appearance. -*.ny idea that an Inven
tor has to wear mussy clothes and
necktie askew does not apply to Mr.
Edison. Maybe he Is naturally natty,
maybe Mrs. Edison sees to it that her
distinguished husband always is pre
sentable. Anyhow, he 1 as well kept
as a man need be.
Speak to Mr. Edison and right away
you realize that you have started
something.
He replies quickly.
His brain seems to work like a
flash.
His answer comes on ,the instant,
and !s a full, complete one. Mr. Edi
son knows what he knows and when
he makes a reply he covers the
ground.
He uses few gestures, but he keeps
his right hand cupped up against his
right ear because he is hard of hear
ing in the left ear and he uses tho
right one. He has put his hand up to
that ear so many thousand times that
be has actually pushed the lobe of the
ear out a little.
Cordial and Democratic
He is as cordial as he Is alert .and
as simple and democratic as he 5s
cordial. «uch Is the best known liv- j
ing Inventor in appearance.
Mr Edison has pronounced ideas on .
about everv topic of current thought,
from “X-ray” gowns to mental stand-
arc’s and from eugenics to “Oasim
Johnny,” as he dubs Harry K. Thaw.
Spellers Stumped by

Chicago Club Members All Miss and
Judges Order Spelling Bee
Started Over. \
HERE ARE MR. EDISON’S VIEWS
ON SOME OF THE LIVE TOPICS
DANCES AND DRESS—The weird dances and freakish
dressing are not an indication of moral deterioration, but mere
ly the expression of peculiar mental flights/ They are here to
day and gone to-morrow.
EUGENICS—A splendid proposition. Affection will not
be subordinated. As physical and intellectual evolution takes
place affection will be deeper and more wholesome.
THAW—It is about time we lost “Casino Johnny.” The
country is better without him and too much publicity has been
given him.
AMERICA—America is the hope of the world. Here we
are constantly advancing, because the mental standard is con
stantly improving as the result of public school education.
TRUSTS—Trusts are good and bad. Government control
means the end of the trusts that conspire against the public
good. It is for the Government to regulate the trust business,
eliminating the bad and protecting the good.
ROOSEVELT—A solid man, an honest one, who has been
under fire for twenty years, without one shaft by the enemy
striking a vulnerable spot.
POLITICS—l am a Progressive. Advancement cannot be
attained without these changes. The Republican and Demo
cratic parties stand for the old order of tilings.
MEXICO—] matins and Anglo-Saxons do not mix and never
will. Mexico is incapable of self-government. It would not be
wise for us to interfere.
VACATIONS—It does seem great to have a day off. What
a wealth of material there is for the human mind to enjoy if
one only has one’s eyes open to it.
WORK —Sometimes, after nineteen or twenty hours’ work;
I hate to give it up, even for a few hours’ rest.
SLEEP—Sleep) is largely a matter of habit.
ELECTRICITY—We are in the infancy of electricity. It
is taking the place of steam the world over.
“CANNED” MUSIC—It has been the aim of all phono
graph manufacturers to eliminate the scratching noise of the
needle and the composition. Eventually we will produce music
minus all scratching sound.
back to St. Marys, Edwards returned
to the Island. He searched about the
place and found threp square holes
out of which the boxes had been lift
ed. In one of the sinks he found the
pistol.
Yesterday the negro came to Bruns
wick and showed the relic to Dr. Bur
roughs, who, being a collector of war
time guns, purchased It. It Is be
lieved the boxes the strangers carried
from the Island contained treasure
or were valuables buried there during
the Civil War by residents of St
Marys or Fernandina. The Island i?
not Inhabited, and it Is thought f he
meq had learned of the burial of the
boxes by some of their ancestors. No
other solution was offered, as none
of the party has ever been heard from
or seen since that time by the ne
gro.

ROME; Sept. IS.—From the beau
tiful Italian lakes to the sunburned
hills of Sicily the chief topic of con
versation Is the trial of the Ameri
cano, and a feeling of pity has been
aroused at the thought of the added
bitterness of the man fighting for his
life before a court In which he can
not understand the language spoken.
Porter Charlton himself, however,
has so far seemed undisturbed by
this consideration and haa already
made arrangements to take lesson*
in Italian—a desperate effort which,
of course, will have no appreciable
result In the few weeks at his dis
posal.
Lawyers are all agog over his
counsel’s Intention to Introduce into
Italy the hitherto unknown defense of
“brainstorm,” which is expected to
have a great vogue with certain
classes of criminal lawyers They
have decided that In Italy It will have
more effect If designated as "morbid
fury” and “Irresistible force.’*
Prisoner Is Tranquil.
Of this “Irresistible force” there is
at present very little Indication in
the prisoner. His conduct and words
are tranquil and deferential almost
to humbleness, while he neither ex
presses remorse nor seeks to justi
fy himself. Indeed, his attitude seems
to be that of a person taking a rest
cure.
Charlton has already exercised his
small amount of Italian upon his
Jailers, and is much puzzled at the
difference between the Como dialect
and that of the Genoese stewards on
board the Re d’ltalia.
The slovenliness which was a
marked characteristic of Charlton
during his sojourn with his wife at
Moltraslo has entirely dlsappea red.
Indeed, although alone In his cell anJ
unvisited by anyone, his dress Is kept
In an Immaculate state. On one point
he Is classed with the ‘‘crazy” Eng
lish, as he Insists upon having an ex
tra supply of water for his ablutions,
over which his Jailer grumbles, say
ing, “What la the use of washing
and then doing It all over again next
day?’’ But a few lire soon soothes his
ruffled feelings
Wilson’s Influence Talked.
Absurd rumors are flying about as
to what Is being done for Charlton in
the United States; as, for Instance,
that ex-President Taft Is using his
Influence with the Italian Govern
ment, and that, if things go badly for
the prisoner, President Wilson will
ask to have him pardoned—all of
which Is absolute nonsense, since
once he Is In the hands of Italian
justice and tried by a jury, even the
King himself can do nothing for
Charlton. "•
In fact, any extraneous Interfer
ence would probably prejudice hts
case. Of thl* the American Govern
ment Is well aware, as it ha* not
even communicated with the Embassy
at Rome or the Consulate at Milan.
TOPEKA. Sept. 13.—“Count the
flies!" Instead of "Swat the fly!'' will
be the slogan of the State Board of
Health for next year.
Without getting nearly the amount
of advertising from such a war cry, 1
the Health Board of Ohio has been
getting results that are entirely satis
factory by the application of a clever
idea which the Kansas board has de
termined to appropriate.
Next year the proprietor of the res
taurant or store who permits files to
buzz around where flies ought not to
be may expect to find In his dally mall
small cards bearing yome such met- !
.sage as this:
“Dear Sir: While In your place of
business yesterday I counted fourteen I
flies. Yours respectfully.
“JOHN DOE.”
That Is the Ohio Idea. The Kansas
Board of Health will have a lot of

en’s clubs over the State to distribute
them.

Joplin miner, lived with the Intention
of killing Emmett Dalton, the only
surviving member of the notorious
gang that terrorized Kansas twenty
years ago. but last night he was here
at the city Jail attempting to have
the former bandit released.
Dalton was fined $26 and coats In
Joplin Police Court a few days ago
w’hen he pleaded guilty to being drunk
for the fourth time wdthln a week.
Brown attempted to have his fine re
duced, and said If this wag done he
would pay It.
“I want to return good for evil,”
the miner explained to Chief of Po

raid Emmett Dalton killed my father.
"I nursed an oath to kill Dalton for
thirteen years. Then I saw the folly
of my way of thinking. A few' years

Gum chewing exercises the muscles
and the tissues of the mouth, at the
same time cleansing the surface of
the teeth, said Dr. Brown, who added
that the American people do not use
their molars enough.
“It is a fact to he deplored that the
uncivilized have better teeth than the
