And or- j son will decide In favor of the de fendant. In any event, the 48 heirs will lay the case before the Fulton Uounty. Grand Jury, where John V. Smith will act as special solicitor. Attorneys Burton Smith and lieu- ben Arnold, who have been conduct ing Mrs. Crawford's defense, say they are sure of a verdict in favor of their client. They charge that the case has grown out of jealousy on the part of other women. “That a man’s body should be ex humed after four years In the grave and the attempt made to show that he was poisoned is really a prepos terous idea,” said Mr. Arnold. "There has not been a single indication that Mr. Crawford died from other than natural causes." Plaintiffs’ Lawyer Hopeful. Colonel J. S. James, who repre sents the heirs, is equally positive that Mrs Crawford will be indicted by the Grand Jury should the audi tor’s decision be adverse to his clients. "Unde Josh” Crawford left an es tate valued at more than $260,000. He did not leave a will, beyond one which had been made out- in favor ot his first- wife. Mrs Nancy E. Craw ford. His first wife and himself made mutual wills, in which the husband was to fall heir to the wife’s estate in the event she died first, and vice versa. By his first wife’s death Joshua B. Crawford came into the full estate, end with his marriage with Mrs. Mary Belle Savage the point was made that the first will is void. Relatives of his first wife are contesting this point. The aged farmer married Mrs. Sav age in less titan a year aftyr his first wife’s death He lived but 27 days after this marriage, and County Phy sician J. W. Hurt, who attended him, and Miss Emily Townsend, the trained nurse who assisted, declared that his death was due to pneumo nia. *5® Our coals will please you. Call us.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Local traders are bullish on wheat, believing that it has more merit than any other. "The bulls in corn do not want a decline at present, as they may increase the movement, and they are not anxinus to have a large run at present. “The trade is buiyng oats, on the theory that the comparative low price should materially increase consumption and induce farmers to feed oats and sell their corn." N. L. Carpenter & Co. says: “The recent break in coffee is viewed with a critical eye and is said not to l»e justified by any foreign cables. We think it would-be only conservative to watch for the moment receipts at Rio and Santos and the trend of consump tion. “The increased hog movement is said to have caused lower prices in pig lard. If this is continued it may have some influence on the cotton seed oil product, but we believe such falling off in values will prove only temporary.” YOU MAY FIND TH] GIFT YOU WANT HERE.
