Prober Starts Into Private Life of
Woman Making Charges, and
Sensations Are Promised.
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—Attack on the
character and good name of Mrs. Page
Waller Eaton, who is credited with
starting the expose of the “petticoat
graft scandal” of Chicago’s City Hall,
was begun to-day. Stephen Malato,
attorney for Mrs. Louise Osborne
Rowe, who is accused by Mrs. Eaton
of padding the city welfare depart
ment pay roll and of compelling Mrs.
Eaton to “split” her $3,000 salarv,
made the attack when he opened the
cross-examination of Mrs. Eaton be
fore the Civil Service Commission.
The accuser of Mrs. Rowe previonus
ly had repeated her charges against
her superior, and when Attorney Ma
lato began asking Mrs. Eaton about
her private life, strenuous objection
was made by Seymour Stedman, at
torney for Mrs. Eaton. A legal tilt
ended in the commission ruling {hat
Attorney Malato would be permitted
the widest latiude in his examination
of the witness. /
Malato questioned Mrs. Eaton in de
tail about her two marriages and her
present separation from her second
husband. Attorney Stedman interrupt
ed and said:
“I've tried to prevent this sort of
questioning, but now there will be
some houses in Chicago that will be
turned upside down.”
Stedman had previously said that ¢
Mrs. Eaton’s private life was inquired
into with a view to injuring her reou
tation, a number of sensational scan
dals implicating many prominent men
and women would be bared. ‘

Holds Roads Must
Be Sold § ly
e eparately
When an employee of one railroad
co’ny steps out of the way of a
traW and is killed by the locomotive
of another railroad, the roads can not
be sued jointly, but are liable sev
erally, was the opinion handed down
Friday by the State Supreme Court
in the appeal cases of the Southern
Railway and the Western and Atlan
tic Railroad versus Willlam and Lou
Smith. The decision was reversed by
Judge W. A. Fite,
The record developed that Walter
Smith, 18-year-old son of the plain
tiff, was employed by the Southern
as a section hand. While at work on
the roadbed in Whitfield Copnty he
stepped aside to permit a southbound
freight train to pass. In doing so he
rassed five feet across to the tracks
of the W, & A., where he was struck
and killed by a northbound passenger
train. His parents brought suit for
$3,000 damages, alleging the railroads
were jointly negligent. Trial now may
be brought in separate actions.
Loses Her Boarders;
)
Now Loses Appeal
Mrs. W. T. Tree will have' to be
satisfied with the verdict for S4O
awarded her in the Fulton Superior
Court in her suit for $2,000 damages
against the City of Atlanta, tried at
the September term, 1914. The 3tate
Supreme Court so ruled Friday when
it handed down an opinion afirming
the action of Judge J. T. Pendleton
in directing a verdict for the lesser
amount,
Mrs. Tree kept a boarding house
at No, 209 Ivy street and, when that
thoroughfare was regraded, it left her
house entrance nine feet below the
pavement, in consequence of which,
she alleged, she lost her boarders. But
as her rental was S4O a month, the
lower court took the view that she
should have moved after being dam
aged that amount,

New Turn Given to Legal Fight
for Smith Millions—Hear
ing Set March 11.
ATHENS, Feb. 256.—Judge C. H.
Brand here to-day issued a second re
straining order in the fight of the
three sets of claimants to the millions
of the late James M. Smith and saved
J. 0. Mitchell, of Smithonia, from g)-‘
ing to jail for refusing to obey an or
der of Judge A. W. Rite to turn over
the property to receivers appointed byi
him.
Mitchell, who was secretary of [h‘j:
dead planter, is acting as agent of tha
temporary administrators who repre
sent the family which claims Colonel
Smith to have descended from the
Wilkes County Smiths, ; |
Judge Brand's order enjoins the
temporary administrators from sur
‘rendering the property to the recelv
ers named by Judge Fite at the behest
of the Cobb County Smith family and
‘Bets March 11 at Athens for a hearing
of the case, %
| Habersham Smiths Yet to Act.
| Neither Judge Fite nor Judge Brand
‘has immediate jurisdiction in Ogle
thorpe County, the seat of the great
Smith plantation. Jud e Fite named
Judge David W. Meagow, of the
Northern Circuit, which includes
Oglethorpe County, one of the re
celvers, and, therefore, ruled that ne
was disqupalified to sit on the case.
‘The fight has broadened to such an
extent that judges of other distric:s
may be asked for new orders, for the
Habersham County Smith family,
Which claims that its heirs alone have
the rightful title to Colonel Smith's
property, have not made a showing in
the controversy since the case was
taken out of the jurisdiction otAOrdb‘
‘nary Bacon, of Oglethorpe, by Judge
Fite.
. The refusal of Mitchell, who has
‘been in charge of the Smith proper
ties at Smithsonia since the death of
the owner, to turn over the estate to
the receivers named by Judge Fite re
sulted in a telegram by the judge to
the Sheriff of Oglethorpe to place
Mitchell in jail for contempt.
But when the Sheriff arrived from
Lexington, twelve miles away, Mitch
ell could not be found. He had hur
ried to Athens and there held a con
ference with members of the Wilkes
County family, whom he represented.
Appeal to Judge Brand. |
A prayer to Judge Brand was pre
pared, as follows: |
“That the temporary ‘administra
tors as named be enjoined from sur
rendering control of any portion of
the estate of James M. Smith to said
pretended receivers, or anyone else,
save under the order of the Court of
Ordinary of Oglethorpe County.”
Judge Brand granted the first part
of the petition, but refused to restrain
the receivers named by Judge Fite
from interfering with the estate.
If Judge Brard's order holds good
the issue involving the three families
will be decided by Ordinary Bacon,
Just as it was planncd before Judge
Fite interfered.

Wife and Mother Collapse When

Not Guilty,

Berkey, and shoved open the front
door with oaths and threats.
“There was no malice in my hea-t,
gentlemen, for I had never before
seen Mr. Eady or his sister, and did
not even know their names,” said the
slayer.
“I fired only when I realized that
the members of my family, the board
ers in my home, myself and my home
were in danger, No man in the world
regrets this unfortunate affair more
than I do.”
The feature of the argument of
Thursday afternoon came at the close
of Attorney Smith's speech, when he
charged*that the dramatic outbreak
of Mrs. Berkey on the witness stand,
at the time she arose, and, pointing
her finger at Miles, applied the terms
“flend” and “dog,” had been deliber
ately planned for effect on the jury.
“That young woman—and no one
feels more sympathy for her than I
do—was told to make that demon
stration—ahe had been carefully
trained and drilled in it that none of
its effect might be lost,” cried the at
torney.
Austin Denies Stage Trick.
Attorney Austin was on his feet in
a twinkling, and interrupted the
speaker,
“Your honor, I just want to say sos
myself that I have ver told Mrs.
Berkey to make any &1 demonstra
tion,” he exclaimed.
Attorney Smith sald he had not
charged that it was Mr. Austin who
did the planning and training.
At this point Judge Thomas ad
dressed the jury and instructed that
no consideration must be given Mrs,
Berkey's personal references to Miles,
“I had intended charging you on
this matter, gentlemen, but as it has
come up at this juncture, I just want
to advise you that the personal re
marks of this witness to the defend
ant were improper, and I will instruct
you that you are to give them no coen
sideration whatever in forming your
verdict.” -
Attorney Smith pleaded for the ac
quittal of Miles on the ground that he
acted in self-defense, declaring he
“hoped the time never would come in
this great free country when one of
its citizens would be punished for
protecting his home.”
He likehed the slain man to the
drunken slayer in Macon a few days
ago, who, while riding in a taxicab,
recklessly shot and killed a girl who
was on her way to a church enter
tainment.
Calls Eady Helpless. |
‘“Anferson Eady, when he was slain,
was in the same wild and reckless
state as the man who took the life of
that innocent Macon girl,” he argued.
Attorney Austin, in the opening ar
gument, insisted that Miles had no
legal right to slay Eady under the
circumstances. He cited several Su
preme Court decisions, which, he
urged, bore out this contention. He
declared the evidence showed thit
Eady was In a helpless state at the
time Miles shot him. He also stressed
as one of the most important inci
dents in the whole case the statement
of Mrs. Berkey that Miles viciousiy
kicked Eady out on the sidewalk
while she was trying to get him away
from in front of the Miles home. ‘

J. Wylie Smith, weak and emachted\
from vears of tuberculosiz, was car
ried Friday into the courtroom of
Judge W. K. Thomas, where his attor
ney, Hugh Howell, and the court
agreed to a consent verdict in two
cases of forgery.
“You'll have to go to jail,” said
Judge Thomas. “You can not be held
under custody of a guard as you were
last night.”
Sentence was deferred until Monday
at 10 o'clock, when Judge Ben Hill
will pronounce it. Attorney Howell
gave notice that he would appeal for
a deferred sentence because of Smith's
extreme physical condition, but was
'not prepareld to argue this Friday.
. Smith's plea of guilty was on two
counts, forging the name of M. A,
Smith to a note for $1,600 and that of
Mrs. 8. 8. Frye to a note for $420.
Several other cases in the indictments
were nolle prossed by consent.
Smith, who wrecked the Commercial
Loan and Trust Company several
vears ago, who fled to Mexico, was en
ticed across the line and brought back
to Atlanta, has been ot on $3,000
bond. Several times his trial was set
and continued because of hig illness,
Judge Thomas Wednesday forfeitad
the bond when the case was called
and ordered his arrest. Deputy Sher
iff Plennie Miner went to Smith's
home in Clayton street Thursday,
found Smith very ill, and placed
guard over him instead of forcing the
sufferer to go to jail
