N'eunan, Oa.. Auk. Si—Amltfat the cheers ■>{ a large and enthualaatlc number of Coweta voters, Judge R. B. Russell made a stirring speech here May, and it Is said by conservative 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.

That Stensland Is gone, never to re turn, unless In the custody of officers. Is now firmly believed. That he has gone with a woman named Leone Langdon, recently divorced and with whom he was friendly ever since the death of his wife. Is also accepted as an established fact.

The eesslon adjourned at 1:10 o’clock,. subject to the call of the chairman. | During the meeting no mention what ever was made as to the probable nom- j (nations for the various state offices | end the matter was but little discussed i by those present. The entire object of the meeting was to make plana for a convention and the nomlations will follow. No negroes appeared In the room. 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. ‘LOBBY” TALK CAUSES FIGHT IN LOWER HOUSE Contintd from Pag« Ont.
