number of Coweta voters, Judge R. B.
Russell made a stirring speech here

men, both from the Smith-and Howell
rank*, th^t Judge Russell gained votes
In the county.
The Judge arrived at Kewnan this
nmrnlng at 9 o'clock and went directly
to the Virginia hotel, .where a large
ermvd, together with the band, ha‘d
gathered to receive him. By 11 o'clock
hundreds had assembled at mineral
•Mings, where the speaking occurred
and where a barbecue was served af
ter the address.
Judge Russell was Introduced by the
Hon. Hulll Hall, whose remark! were
roundly applauded.
Mr. Hell said that Georgians were
to be congratulated that the admlnls
•ration of their affaire was In the
hands of honest, clean, upright men.
He said that he had no sympathy with
the cry of ring rule for twenty-live
years, and that he did not accept the
charge of corporate domination. Re
ferring to disfranchisement, he said
that Georgia should not follow, but that
•he should be emulated.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Other states, he continued, have suf
fered from negro rule, but that Geor
*ta had all these years been free.
Judge Russell's speech, though con
tinually enlivened with humor, was a
clean and sound dlscpsslon of the Is
sues of the campaign. The friends of
Judge Russell claim that, he will carry
the county.

to see the city editor.
When she had seated herself she
said: -e-
"My husband Is a murderer. I want
you to put It In the paper. He has
driven me away from home, and 1 want
the people to know that he murdered a
convict In South Carolina seven years
ago."
She spoke without a trace of emo
tion, In a matter-of-fact voice.
"He left me Tuesday,” she contin
ued, "and went to the home of his
mother, In Cobb county. They tell me
he Is now living In DcKalb county,
"My name Is Katie Jackson. My
husband's name Is Andrew Jackson.
I wns a Doyle before 1 married, and
lived In Fulton county.
"I married him seven years ago.
About two weeks after Wg were mnr-
rled he told me one night:
" 'If anybody comes -here and asks
for Andrew Jackson, you tell ’em ho
don’t live here.'
"What he said worried me a whole
lot, and I kept nfter him. After a while
he t old me he had killed a convict In
South Carolina. He said the detectives
got after him and he ran away. Then
they almost caught Him and he knocked
one off a trestle and got away.
"When he ran away Tuesday he took
his three children with him and left
our two children with me.
"Since he has deserted me I want the
people to know that he le a murderer,”
she said In conclusion.
Her voice had never varied, had nev
er indicated the slightest of feeling. In
her dull, leaden, lifeless eyes there was
something strange, eerie, uncanny.
But ns she walked out she began to
cry softly.
SHE JOURNEYS TO SEE
SHERIFF OF DeKALB.
It was suggested to her that she
see the sheriff of DeKalb county and
tell him what she had Just relntcd.
She saw Sheriff Reagan Tuesday.
Her story was exactly what she had
said lnthe office of The Georgian. She
said she could give no particulars of
her husband's alleged crime; that she
knew something more,'but would not
teH unless she were forced toj In an
swering questions ns to her own life
and. relatives, she frequently contra
dicted previous statements.
Sheriff Reagan Investigated the mnt-
ter carefully. He found that Jackaon
bore an excellent reputation os a fnrtn-
er. although he Is poor and has never
risen above the estate of renter. John
I-ench. of DeKalb county, for whom
Jackson has worked for years, says
he Is a square, straightforward fel
low, and that while he cannot testify
ns to Jackson's whereabouts seven
years ago. he believes the wlfo's
charges to be unfounded.
Jackson said he could not under
stand why his wife should make such
n charge. He said she had left his
home a week ago, taking with her
their two children. He said that sev
eral times before she had left home,
but that she had always returned aft
er a while. He ventured no opinion
ns to her motives.
13 IT AN HALLUCINATION
OR MOVE FOR REVENGE?
Unless further evidence Is secured
or something Is heard from South
Carolina In substantiation of her
charges^ Mrs. Jackson's husband will
never fare this charge of murder In a
court.
Mrs. Jackson’s story either develops
a clew to what would become one of
the strangest criminal cases In tho
South, or clso she Is the victim of an
hallucination. ,
Or Is she seeking revenge for some
real or fancied wrong?
"I think she's a little bit off, said
Sheriff Rcngnn.
