!
Mrs. L. E. Pannelle, charged with
the murder of her husband at their
home, No. 47 Chastain street, eariy
Wednesday, vas expected to testify in
her own defense that Pannelle had
sent other men .to call upon her in an
effort to make a “white slave” of Ler.
She is known to have told this story
to Chief of Police Mayo last Monday,
when she toid him how she feared her
husband, and asked his advice.
Mrs. Pannelle, who is 32 years old,
told the police her husband, 85 years
old, wae beating her with a razor
Etrop and she had to kill him She
was taken to the police station and
locked in the matron’s room. She and
Attorney John Boykin held a two
hour conference soon afterward.
“It is a long story and there is a
great deal behind it,” said Mr. Boykin.
“We are nos ready to make a state
ment to-day.”
Coroner Donehoo shortl before
noon obtained a statement from a
close relative of Mre. Pannelle, which
he guarded closely and declined to
discuss, He said the statement con
tained revelations, which were given
him only on his strict promise not to
disclose any phase of them
Domestic Troubles Bared.
This statement was believed to bear
directly on the charges made to Chief
Mayo by the wife against the hus
band, and on other details of the here
tofore hidden domestic troubles of the
couple, including the bailng of al
leged affairs of Pannelle with other
women
The Coroner announced that he
would not hold an inquest, because of
the presence of eye witnesses to the
tragedy, Mrs. Pannelle's three little
chiildren having seen her shoot their
father to deat! It was expected that
the wife would be given a prelimir ary
hearing Thursday morning before Re
corder Johnson
Mrs, C. B. Bell, a sister of Mrs Pan-.
nelle, who lives near the Pannelle
home, declared that the sls man had
been beating his wife and childrer

BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.
WASHINGTON, March B.—That an agreement will speedily
be reached which will preserve all the rights of the United States
under international law, and at the same time end the so-called sub
marine controversy was broadly hinted in official quarters to-day.
It was stated that Great Britain within the next few days will de
liver to this Government her promise that none of her vessels trav.
ersing the Atlantic will be armed. Only such vessels as traverse
the Mediterranean will carry guns, and they will be specifically
pledged to use such armament only in defense. At the same time
Germany placed before the Unitd States a detailed explanation of
the reasons which constrained her to order armed merchantmen
sunk without warning.
} This explanation reviewed the offers previously made by Ger
| many to ratify the declaration of London and again charged specifi
‘cally that the ‘‘illegal’’ British blockade, by which ‘‘an effort ig
being made to starve Germany out,”’ was entirely responsible for
’the use of the submarine against British vessels. While making ne
promise, it was accepted in official circles that Germany would
'wfllingly refrain from using submarines against anything but war.
'ships if England would modify her blockade to follow the lines of
| the declaration of London.
It is understood that the Brit
ish ofl\er not to arm any vessels
in the’Atlantic trade would have
been presented before now but
was withheld until after the
President had won his fight for
noninterference by Congress.
Officials look for its receipt speed
ily, and it was believed that it would
be made the basis for a renewal on
the part of the United States of its
efforts to secure a thodus vivendi be--
tween the warring nations for the
“freedom of the sea” that would have
an excellent chance of success. Unti!
it actually is received, however, offi
clals say they could not discuss it.
Count von Bernstorfr, the German
Ambassador, presented the memoran
dum explaining Germany’'s orders to
submarine commanders to sink
armed merchamme‘, without warn
ing. This explanatibn, according to
the Ambassador, was intended to
clear up what has been considered
as doubtful points by the United
States, and especially to show that
the new plans of the German Gov
ernment in no way abridge or con
flict with the assurances given to the
United States Government,
The Ambassador was with Secre
tary Lansing for less than flve min
utes. On leaving, he sald that he be
lleved the communication would make
plain just exactly what Germany
planned to do. He said that at his
request Secretary Lansing had grant
ed him permission to make the docu
ment public. It was subsequently
given out,
Amplifies Old Order,
“This communication,” the Ambas
sador explained, “is intended to set
forth the German position in the
armed merchantman controversy. It
is in no sense a new order or orders,
but is simply an amplification of the
orderg that went into effect the first
of this monih.”
Following is the text of the memo
randum handed Secretary Lansing by
Count von Bernstorff: %
“The Imperial German Government,
on account of the friendly relations
which have always existed between
the two great nations, and earnestly
desiring to continue them, wishes to
explain the U-boat question once
more to the American Government,
“At the outbreak of the war, the
German Goyernment, acting on the
suggestion of the United States, im
mediately expressed its readiness to
ratify the declaration of London, At
that time a German prize code had
already been issued, which was en
tirely-—and without modification—
based on the rules of the declaration
of London. Germany thereoy proved
ih" willingness to recognize fully the
existing rules of International law,
which !nsure the freedom of the sea
for the legitimate trade of neutrai na
tions, not omty among themselves but
also with belligerent countries,
“Great Britain, on the other hand,
declined to ratify the declaration of
London, and after the outbreak of the
War began to restrict the legitimate
trade of the neutrals in order to hit
Germany. The contrabang provisions
‘Were systematically extended on
August 5, 20, September 21 ana Oec
teber 29, 1914. On November 3, 1914,
the Order of the British Admiralty
followed, declaring the whole North
Sea a war zone in which commercial
shipping would be exposed t 0 most
serious danger from mines and men
‘or war. Protests from neutrals were
of no avail and from that time on
the freedom of peutral commerce with
Germany was practically destroyed,
Forced to Use Reprisals. :
“Under these circumstances, Ger
many was compelled to resort, in Feb
\ruary, 1915, to reprisals in order to
fight her opponents’ measures, which
were absolutely contrary to interna
tional law. She chose for this pur
pose a new weapon the use of which
had not yet been regulated by intep
'rmtlonnl law, and in doing so could
’and did not violate any existing
rules, but only took inte account the
;pecullarity of this new weapon, the
Submarine boat,
~ “The use of the submarine naturally
:nec-aultated a restriction of the free
movements of neutrals and consti
tuted a danger for them which ch- i
many intends to ward off by a spe
clal warning analogous to the warn
ing England had given regarding tHe
North Sea. il
“Both belligerents—Germany, in
her note of February 17, and Great
Britain in those of February 18 and
20, 1915—claimed that their proceed -
ing was only enacted in retallation
for the violation of International law
by their opponents. The American
Government approached both parties
for the purpose of trying to re
establish international law as it had
been In force before the war. Ger
many was asked to adapt the use
of her new weapon to the rules
which had been existing for the for
mer naval weapons and England not
to interfere with the food supply in
tended for the non-combatant Ger
man population and to admit their
distribution under American n:mc-‘
vision,
“Germany, on March 1, 1915, de.
clared her willingness to comply with
the proposal of the American m
ernment, whilst England, on the er
hand, declined to do so. By the ors
der In council of March 11, 1915, Gres
Britain abolished even what had ==
mained of the freedom of nEUtER]
trade with Germany and her Nents
neighbors. England's object #@s
