THE WIFE TELLS A6IOTHEB STORY Mrs. McKnight, Blinded With Carbolic Acid, Charges Hus band With/ Deliberate Act. Atlanta, Ga. —Lying on ln'r lied at tl e (Rady Hospital, crying out in un gi isii that her eyes were killing her. .Mrs. Rosa Knight, of Macon, the vic tim of carbolic acid at the Piedmont llotei Monday night, vigorously at tacked the story told by her husband, DeWitt Knight, who told the police that he slapped the bottle of carbolic arid from her lips as she was trying to swallow it, branding his tale as false. During her semi-conscious state throughout Monday night, as she was being treated by Doctors Welchel and Pitman, of the Orndy Hospital, it is Ftated that the woman tepeatedly cried out: "Why don't you tell them who did it?” "There is some chance that the woman’s eyesight will be saved," de clared Dr. Pitman last night. "He burns are not as bad as was thought at first. Her left eye is consider d damaged by the acid, but it may fie saved." Husband Is Arrssted. The husband, when Rosa Knight was able to tell her tale about the car bolic acid burns, which cover her face, Rrms and neck, was arrested by the police and is being held at the station house, as he is unable to give a bond of $2,000. Knight sticks to his story which he told Monday night, that when he en tered Mrs. Knight's room at the Pied mont Hotel, shortly after she had reg istered; that when she saw him. she took the bottle of acid from her hand ling and put the mouth of It to iter Ups. and that he slapped It from Iter hands, struggling with her to keep her from committing suicide, and that the burns he received are proof that he did not throw the acid on her to "ruin her beauty," as Mrs. Knight claims hpr husband had threatened on several oc casions before. IMi*. Knight claims that when her husband opened the door, he ap proached her with his arms extended In a loving manner, ss though to make amends for their previous troubles. ■He placed his arm around my neck, and proceeded to kiss me. and then, before I knew what had happened, ho had thrown the acid In my eyes, blind ing me completely." She then accused her husband of having played the part of a Judas. -His kiss was the kiss of a .Judas,” declared Mrs. Knight, "and I will se to It that he is punished for his per fidy.” No Traces Internally. The doctors who attended the wounds of Mrs. Knight declared that they found absolutely no traces of car bolic acid having been taken inter nally. The examination of the stom ach disclosed nothing to indicate that the acid was taken internally. There were Ho burns on her tongue, nor In her throat. Her lips were slightly burned by ihe add. hut the doctors believe that this happened when the add was thrown In her face. PeWltt Knight will be tried u» soon ns hla wife’s condition will permit her HPpeHrnnee In court. The doctors do not believe that she will lie able to leave the Imapltnl for some da.va yet. Her entire face la Vovered with ban dages with only a small opening at the mouth and noae for breathing and nourishment. Knight atate* that he came to At- Innm from Macon to see his wife, be lieving that she would come hero to see her little daughter, Thelma, who has beer, here at the Home for th* Friendless alnce last December, when the contta took the little girl away from Its mother. Knight states that he was the prosecutor In the case, and that lie did not want Ills wife, whom he has been separated from for gdttte time, to again see the little girl.
