Grand Jurors of Pulton County will
this 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 his 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 j
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 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 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 Lumb, 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
nephew’s of the man for whose wealth
they are fighting, and though the will
contest has been on practically since
the death of Crawford, it w’as 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 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
hofhe, but she afterward surrendered
to the Sheriff here and promptly fur
nished the $6,000 bond required.
In addition to the poison charge
the nieces and nephew’s 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., Sopt. 13.—
Thomas Alva Edison, the "Wizard of
Menlo Park," whose life hae been one
invention after another, is back In
his w’onderful 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. Edlaon has been en
joying himself at Monhegan, Maine,
then at the summer home of his
wealthy friend, Richard Colgate, thj
soap manufacturer, at Lake Sunapee,
N. H,
Mr. Edison looks to-day the man he
is His heavy thatch of white gtv»s
him a distinguished appearance a
distance. He is about 5 feet 7 inch**
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. IS.—A myi-
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 Su Marys, and while
there a party of strangers engaged
him to take them to Talbots Island,
which Is near Fernandlna. When th?
party reached the Island, they’ landed
and instructed Edwards to wait on
the shore until they returned. The
strangers came back In two hours and
had in their possession three boxes.

Unusually Vigorous.
Those who failed to recognize tbs
Inventor saw In him an unusually
vigorous man for hiB 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 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, gray-
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.”

New and Improved hangars, each

Witness his Mttl» Joke about “run
ning up to Colgate's to take a bath”—
a sly Illusion to the ooap 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 muersy 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 * as well kept
a a a man need be.
Speak to Mr. Edison and right away j
you realize that you have started j
something.
He replies quickly.
His brain seems to w’ork like a
flash.
His answer comes on the instant,
and is a full, complete one. Mr. Edi- j
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 the
right one. He has put his hand up to ;
that ear so many thousand times that
he has actually pushed the lobe of the I
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 be6t known liv- j
ing inventor in appearance.
Mr. Edison has pronounced ideas on
about every topic of current thought, j
from ”X-ray” gowns to mental stand- |
arcs and from eugenics to “Caslm j
Johnny,” as he dubs Harry K. Thaw.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The word
i “rhythm” almost broke up a spelling
match at the outing of the Empire
| State Club at Rautina.
It was the first word given to the
twenty-five contestants--all former
New' Yorkers now living in Chicago—
and not a person could spell it.
The judges conferred and started
| over again, after promising that [
“rhythm would not be given again. 1
Mrs. Alexander Dennison finally won. j
after her closest competitors had ,
stumbled over the w’ord “Judgment.”
About three hundred attended the
outing, which was in charge of J. C. I
Merrill, president of the club. »
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—-Trus'ts 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 things.
MEXICO—I .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 has been the aim of all phono
graph manufacturers to eliminate the scratching noise of the
needle and the composition. Eventually wo will produce music
minus all scratching sound.
back to St. Marys, Edwards returned
to the island. Ho searched about the
place and found three square holes
out of which the boxes had been lift- j
ed. In one of the sinks he found the j
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 fhe island contained treasure
or w’ere valuables buried there during J
the Civil War by residents of St.
Marys or Fernandina. The island is
not Inhabited, and it is thought fV i«
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.
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, Sept. 13.—From the beau
tiful Italian la.kes 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 j
not understand the language spoken. |
Porter Charlton himself, however, j
has so far seemed undisturbed by 1
this consideration and has already j
made arrangements to take lessons
In Italian—a desperate effort which, j
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. Ills conduct and words
are tranquil ami deferential almost
to humbleness, while he neither ex
presses remorse nor seeks to justi
fy Mmself. 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 disappeared.
Indeed, although alone in his m\\ an0
unvisited by anyone, his dresses 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, j
over which his Jailer grumbles, say- I
lng, “What is the use of washing I
and then doing it all over again next j
day?” But a few lire soon soothes his
ruffled feelings
Wilson’s Influence Talked.
Absurd rumors are flying about aa
to what 1? 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 o?
which Is absolute nonsense, since
once he Is in the hands of Itullan
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 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 $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.
“I want to return good for evil,”
the miner explained to Chief of Po
lice J. H. Myers. “In the Coffeyvllle
raid Emmett Dalton killed my father.
“T nursed an oath to kill Dalton for
thirteen years. Then I saw the folly
of my way of thinking. A few years
ago I gave up the idea and now I
want to do Dalton a good turn by
getting him out of Jail.”

CEDAR POINT. OHTO. 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 I Rental Association.
Gum chewing exercises the muscles
and the tissues of the mouth, at the
same time cleansing the surface of
the teeth, said I>r. Brown, who added
that the American people do not use
their molars enough.
“It i* a fact to tv deplored that the
uncivilized have better teeth than the
civilized,” said Dr. Brow’n.
STOCK OWNER ENRICHED.
SPOKANE, Sept. 13.—Nearly twen
ty years ago Patrick Hurley paid $170

$1 a share, and Hurley has been lo
cated by officers of the company after
six months’ search.
DENVER, flept. 13.— The young
and handsome wife and the friends of
Francis W. Keeler, a Denver broker
have brought up another defense t*
his arrest with Mrs, Jacquanna Rus-
sum.
They point to the past record of
the woman whose weird fascination
has according to the 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 nil?
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 bad 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 I was wealthy.”

Without getting nearly the amount

Next year the proprietor of the res.

small cards bearing t«ome such mes
sage as this:
“Dear Sir: While in your place of
