of Judge Camden. She denied that she
had any interest whatever in the owens
land or that owens had at any time
paid her money or any other thing of
value. The cross examination was con-
Quoted by Robert G. Linn for the state,
and was very rigid.
Mrs Atkinsons demeanor on the wit
ness stand was modest and unassum-
Ing. She made favorable impression.
After the adjournment of court the
defendant refused to talk, but Governor
Atkinson gave statement for the
press, in which he said
"The prosecution was actuated by
malice. l am Of the opinion that sew
eral witnesses, indeed all the real tes-
eimony upon which the case hinged,
had been induced to testify for con-
sideration. I am thoroughly convinced
that two or more Of them were pur-
chased. All fair minded people could
see clearly that Camden Sommers,
grandson Of the late G. D. Camden.
was at the bottom Of and instigator of
this procedure. Soon after Judge Cam
den married my present wife Mr.. Som
mers and others started out Oh career
Of persecution by anonymous letters
and newspaper stories. Indeed, prior
to Mrs. Atkinsons marriage to Cam-'
den she was annoyed with an anony-
nous letter warning her not to marry
Camden.
-"Furthermore, when the will of Judge
Camden was about to be probated she
received various letters threatening
newspaper publication unless large
sum of money was paid, in which case
II was promised nothing would be said
or published relative to her. Prior to
her marriage tome q similar anony-
nous letter was sent her threatening
newspaper notoriety. The man who
Inspired all these publications IS Veil
known to be Camden Sommers. the
aforesaid grandson Of Judge Camden,
upon whose testimony the indictment
against Mrs. Atkinson was solely
founded, and who appeared as the
principal prosecuting witness in this
case.
I'm my unbiased judgment Mrs. At
kinson Is guilty Of no crime whatever.
most certainly not the crime of aiding
and abetting In uttering the forged
papers charged against her In the in
dlotment. Evidence in this trial showed
that Camden Sommers proposed to the
attorneys Of Joshua owens that II he
would testify against Mrs. Atkinson
nothing would be done with owens, and
that he would not have to pay for his
land which they claimed he had not paid
for. All have to say in conclusion Is
that the whole thing from beginning
to end is worked up to injure my wife
nnd humiliata me-"

Anything had this young man done,
10 cause this dastardly work to come!
Any overt act wrought against him
That has brought about such dreadful
sin?
The threats were proyon, this we know,
In words SO clear and plain;
While he was walking to and fro,
They were plotting to have him slain.
He, who dragged him said he was afraid; /;
There Is no doubt but what that's true,
1t is clear and surprising to every one.
The fact showed whore ho dragged him
His guilty words wero enough to show,
What he said could not be true,
We looked and saw tho impossibility thore,
The same can be seen by you,
If he was murdered as there SO clearly
Think Of The hands through which it
has come.
Will Americans stand off and see this
screenedp
The law calls for Justice, is it done2
The truth was stamped in standing wheat
just where their deadly work started,
They dragged him around just seven ieet,
Thence to the bushes where they parted.
The cash on his temple was clear,
Threatened he'd fix him before he slept;
1t all happened shortly, then and there,
AS evidence shows his word he kept.
ALI see the circumstances, projecting far
and wide,
Why not accept them in case like this?
1t speaks for itself not others to decide,
olegal act taken could surely go amiss.
There is no truth about what was said
Regarding those eight dollars which
were found;
By their own confession the proof Is laid

His defense was very fair you see,
have nothing belongs to anyone, said

In his innocence he was brought

This poor mothers child and his good
name?
Can it be possible they will not defend.

He was put In the grave to sleep
BY those who ale running at large.
Will Christians not look into this deep,
And bring them to their awful charge?

Be not unfair to tho innocent man now;
Act shrewd in securing evidence from

And show us it's crime you arc trying to

Instead were kept back for reasons un-

Even this mans clothes were hid in

Are our laws made to hide such crimes?
Surely some present know quite u good

The power of pardon can come sometimes,
You will find it IS true n; ,teel.
