road and an optimistic believer in the
future of yie South. Confidential
friends say he has ambitious plans for
expansion of the road. The appoint
ment to the presidency becomes ef
fective to-morrow.

Widow Scores First as Legal Bat
tle, Long Delayed by Frank
Case, Is Renewed,
An attack on the test made
hy Dr. II. F. Harris, State Chem
ist, upon the body of Joshua B.
j Crawford was made by Dr. J. M.
McCandlese, an analytical chem
ist, in a statement of interroga-
| lories submitted in the hearing
| of the famous Crawfrd will con
troversy, Mndav morning when
the case was resumed before
Auditor James L. Anderson, aft
cr a long delay on account of
! the Frank trial.
Dr. McCandless charged that
| the test was incomplete because
| a color test instead of a quanti-
j tative analysis was made.
Following Immediately after the
* testimony of County Physician Dr
J. W. Hurt that he had given Joshua
B. Crawford morphine during his Iasi
Illness and denying that there were
any symptoms of opium poisoning
the testimony of Dr. McCandless was
regarded as strengthening material^
the defense which is being built uj
by the atomeys of Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford, who is accused of causing
the death of her husband.
Dr. McCandless said that the brown
color revealed in the test made by
Dr. Harris after the body of Craw
ford had rested in the grace for four
years, might have resulted from pois
ons developing out of decomposition
of the body.
Not Unusual Amount.
Even If the color was caused by the
presence of meeonlc add, a product of
opium, the amount stated to have
| been found by Dr. Harris—one-
fiftieth of a grain—was in accordance
| with the amount contained In the
cough syrup and hypodermic adminis
tered under the direction of Dr. Hurt
to the wealthy farmer, according to
Dr. McCandless. The only reliable test
was the quantitative one, the inter-,
rogatories declared.
Joshua B. Fra wford left am estate
valued at more than $250,ooo. About,
a year before his death he married
Mrs. Belle Savage, of St Augustine,
Fla., and formerly of Pittsburg, Pa.
His will favored his widow with prac
tically all of his estate. A boat of
relatives have combatted the will, and
have attempted to show his death was
caused by the administering of opium
by Mrs. Crawford. This litigation is
on the civil part of the case. Tho
1 criminal charge is pending before tho
present Fulton County Grand Jury,
j Attorneys Reuben Arnold and Bur
ton Smith are representing Mrs.
Crawford In the will hearing, whilo
; Colonel J. S. James and Albert Kem
per are counsel for the heirs. The
hearing is being conducted fn the
office of William C. Massey, commis
sioner of the Fulton Superior Court,
on the fourth floor of the old Cham-
her of Commerce Buildtng There
were less than half a dozen persons
outside of the attorneys present at
the. hearing Monday morning. Short*
j ly before 1 o'clock a recess was taken
I until Thursday morning Mr Ar
nold announced that ths defense
would close, reserving the rigtart to
place a number of doctors on the
stand later.
But two witnesses were plaosd oil
rhe stand Monday morning. These
were Dr. Hurt. County Physician, and
Miss Emily Townseno. a trained
nurse, both of whom attended Mu
' Crawford in his last illness and who
J were placed upon the stand by at lor-
1 neys for Mr$. Crawford.
