Inquisitorial Body Will in Ail
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
charged with poisoning him in order
to get hLs 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 ©state operator, who are fighting
for the $250,000 fortune that was left
to her.
Poison Presence 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 simply contend
that this drug was prescribed for
Crawford during his last illness, and
declare that the attending ‘physician
will take tho stand and testify that
he administered the opiate to relieve
the aged man’s pain.
The Crawford heirs, however, take
on entirely different view of the mat
ter. They charge a deep-laid con
spiracy on the part of Mrs. Craw
ford and Fred Lumb, a barber nom
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 has 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
of 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 STherifT of
Carroll County mailed a warrant to
the Sheriff of Fulton for the arrest.
When officers went to serve it, Mrs.
Craw'ford was not at her Atlanta
home, but she afterward surrendered
to the SherifT here and promptly rur-
nished the $6,000 bond required.
In addition to the poison charge
the nieces and nephews have alleged
that undue Influence was exercised
by Mrs. Crawford 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.

WEST ORANGE. N. J., Sept. 13.—
Thomas Alva Edison, the "Wizard of
Menlo Park.” whose life has been one
Invention after another, is back in
his wonderful laboratories here to
day plunged Into nineteen hours 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 the
age of 66. Fully recovered from a
slight cold, Mr. Edison has been en
joying himself at Monhegan, Maine,
then at the summer home of his
wealthy friend, Richard Colgate, th*
soap manufacturer, at Lake Sunapee,
N. H.
Mr. Edison looks to-day the man he
is His heavy thatch of white glv*s
him a distinguished appearance ;.t a
distance. He is about 5 feet 7 inches
tall and is thick-set enough to weigh
about 175 pounds.
The traveling public noticed him at
Monhegan, Maine, in Lowell, where he
and Mrs. Edison stayed overnight, to
break their long automobile trip, and
Strangers Dig Up Three Boxes
and Negro Finds Pistol of
Revolutionary Days.
BRUNSWICK,, Sept. 13.—A my?-
tery comes to this city bordering on
one of the treasure stories of Cap
tain Kidd, and as a result Dr. W. B.
Burroughs is in possession of an
old flint and steel pistol of the type
used In the Revolutionary War.
A few days ago John Edwards, a
negro, was at St. Marys, and while
there a party of strangers engaged
him to take them to Talbots Island,
which is near Fernandina. When th?
party reached th* 1 island, they landed
and instructed Edwards to wait on
the shore until they returned. The
strangers came hack in two hours ana
had in their possession three boxes.

Unusually Vigorous.
Those who failed to recognize tbs
Inventor saw in him an unusually
vigorous man for his years.
If his hat was off, one noted in
stantly the wide, lofty brow, the brow
of a thinker. As General Lew Wal
lace said of Simonides, the steward in
"Ben Hur,” It is apparent that a man
with such a head must have a tre
mendous brain from cubic capacity, if
notching else.
Mr. Edison has bright eyes, rray-
blue eyes, that gaze ever so keenly
But they are not merely sharp eyea
They are kindly ones and humorous,
too, for "Wizard” E£dl»on exemplifies
the old saying:
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men.”
Witness his Mttle joke about 'Tun
ning up to Colgate’s to take a bath” —
a sly illusion to the soap with which
his host is ever associated.
Brain Works Like Flash.
Dressed usually in a sack suit of
dark mixture, Mr. Edison is neat In
appearance, ^ny idea that an inven
tor has to wear rnuesy clothes and
necktie askew does not apply to Mr.
Edison. Maybe he is naturally natty,
maybe Mrs. Edisor\ sees to It that her
distinguished husband always Is pre
sentable. Anyhow, he ' 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.
Ills brain seems to work like a
flaph.
His answer comes on the instant,
and is a full, commute 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 hie
right ear because he is hard of hear
ing in the left ear and he uses the
right one. He has put his hand up to
that ear so many thousand time* that
he 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 is
cordial. Such Is the best known liv
ing inventor In appearance.
Mr. Edison has pronounced Ideas on
about every topic of current thought,
from "X-ray” gowns to mental stand-
arcs and from eugenics to “Caslm
Johnny,” as he dubs Harry K. Thaw.
Spellers Stumped by
‘ Rhythm’ First Word
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—I am a Progressive. Advancement cannot be
attained without these changes. The Republican and Demo
cratic parties stand for the old order of things.
MEXICO—Latins 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 lias 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 three 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 carrl-d
from the 'eland contained treasure
or were valuables buried there during
the Civil War by residents of St.
Mans or Fernandina. The Island if
not inhabited, an- it la thought ’h«
men had learned of the burial of the
boxes by some of their ancestors. No
other solution was offered, as non*
of the party has ever been heard from
or seen since that time by the ne
gro.
American Will Present New Plea
to Italy When He Faces Trial
as Slayer of Wife.
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, Sept. 13.—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 tyimself, however,
has so far seemed undisturbed by
this consideration and has already
made arrangements to take lessons
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” anil “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 att itude 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
Moltrasio has entirely disappeared.
Indeed, although alone in his cell on<*
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 is. the use of washing
and then doing it all over again next
day?*’ But a few lire soon soothes his
ruffled feelings
Wilson’* Influence Talked.
Absurd rumors are flying about as
to what is being done for Charlton in
the United States; as, for Instance,
that ex-Presldent 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 tho 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 his
case. Of this the American Govern
ment is well aware, as it has not
even communicated with the Embassy
at Rome or the Consulate at Milan.
JOPLIN, MO., Sept. 13.—For more
| than a decade James C. Brown, a
(Joplin minor. lived with the intention
of killing Emmett Dalton, the only
surviving member of the notorious
gang that terrorized Kansas twenty
I years ago, but last night he was here
I at tho city Jail attempting to have
‘the former bandit released.
Dalton was lined $25 and costs in
Joplin Police Court a few days ago
when he pleaded guilty to being drunk
for the fourth time within a week.
Brown attempted to have his fine re
duced, and said If this was done he
would pay it.
”1 want to return good for evil,”
the miner explained to Chief of Po
lice J. II. Myers. “In the Coffeyvllle
raid Emmett Dalton killed my father.
“I nursed an oath to kill Dalton for
thirteen years. Then I saw the folly
j of my way of thinking. A few years
ago I gave up the idea and now I
"ant to do Dalton a good turn by
getting him out of jail.”
Gum Chewing Brings
Health, Says Doctor
The Habit Exercises the Jaw and
Cleanses the Teeth, Speaker
Tells Ohio Physicians.
CEDAR POINT. OHIO. Sept. 13.—
A discussion of diseases and abuses
of sanitary conditions*, described as
causing most of Ohio’s sickness and
suffering, marked the sessions of the
sixty-eighth annual convention of the
Ohio Medical Society.
Gum chewing was approved by Dr.
H. C. Brown, of Columbus, president
of the National Dental Association.
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 tho American people do not use
their molars enough.
“It is a fact to be deplored that the
uncivilized have better teeth than the
civilized,” said Dr. Brown.
L
STOCK OWNER ENRICHED.
SPOKANE, Sept. 13.—Nearly twen
ty years ago Patrick Hurley paid $170
for 4,250 shares of stock in a Coeur
d’Alene mine. The stock is now worth
$1 a share, and Hurley has been lo
cated by officers of the company after
six months' search.

Weird Fascination of Woman in
Case Is Brought to Notice
by Friends.
DENVER, Sept. 13.—The young
and handsome wife and the friends of
Francis W. Keeler, a Denver broker.
have brought up another defense f<
his arrest with Mrs. Jacquanna Rue-
sum.
They point to the past record of
the woman whose weird fascination
has n wording to tho writings of Pro
fessor Oscar L. Trigg, of Chicago
University, caused several other men
to give all for her smiles.
Keeler and Mrs. Russum were ar
rested here in a hotel room and he Is
now a defendant in an alienation wilt
for $75,000 damages brought by the
woman’s husband, Thomas Russum,
of Chicago. Keeler’s firmest friends
assert that Mrs. Russum had an irre
sistible influence over him.
“1 did not know the woman was
married,” Keeler told close friends.
“She had a fatal fascination for me
that seemed irresistible. When I
found she was married I suspected a
blackmail scheme, thinking she and
others had conspired against me, be
lieving l was wealthy."

Sebastian said he based his recom-

TfrPEKA. Sept 13.—"Count the

be the slogan of the State Board of
Health for next year.
Without getting nearly the amount
of advertising from such a war cry,
the Health Board of Ohio ha* been
getting results that are entirely satis
factory by the application of a clever
idea which the Kansas board ha* de
termined to appropriate.
Next year the proprietor of the res

be may expect to find in hia dally mail
small cards bearing some such mes
sage as this;
“Dear Sir: While in your place of
business yesterday I counted fourteen
flies. Yours respectfully,
“JOHN DOE.”
That is the Ohio idea. The Kansas
Board of Health will have a lot of
card-* printed and will get the wom
en’s clubs over the State to distribute
them.
