SHAFT OF PITY AIMED AT HEARTS
 OF PARDON BOARD BY CONYICT'S WIFE

about some seed which the latter could not find for his landlord. The anger of Mir. Patten, she said. grew until the day of the shooting. when he appeared at the threshold of Earle's front door and demanded that he come out.
 He said that If my husband did not come out he would fire in the midst of us." said Mrs. Earle. My husband knew MT. Patten was armed with q pistol. for we had seen his wife slip 1t to him from under her apron. I knew 1t meant trouble if not death to my husband and when he asked me what he should do. I told him to cut across the field to fathers place. told him to take his shot gun with him to be safe, as he might be overtaken by MT. Patten and shot down before he could get away. Well. he took the gun and surely enough before he had gone far. heard the report of the shot gun and a pistol I knew someone was killed and 1t was Mir. Patten. He fired shot from his pistol. but my husband was quick enough to save himself and kill ed Mir. Patten." #
 Mrs. Earle, after her extended inter view with the Secretary of State. left the office and the Capitol with her half dozen children trailing behind . She has gone to Speigner to tell her husband of her prospects, or rather his, and thence will go back to where she is living, about twelve miles from Dadeville. There she will continue her toll for the support of herself and family. The husband was convicted in the fall term of the 1902 Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County. and given a sentence of twenty years.
 Two other coavicts for murder were before the Board fdr consideration yes- terday, represented by attorneys. One is Coley Thornton, under ten years sentence, convicted by the Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County. In his in- terest Col. A. D. Pitts of Selma appeared before the members of the Board. The other convict is Frank Littleton of Lee County, in whose behalf appeared Capt. T. D. Sanford of Opelika and J. D. Duke of the same place. No rec ommendation was made in a single case. Both convicts are white men.

Mrs. E. 0. Earle Pleads For
 Husband.
Sent Up from TalIapoosa County fer Murder of George Patten, wenaa and Babes, Claim New
 Evidence ls
 F.-ss.

A home desolate, containing a mother and six children, the oldest o. which is only 14 years. and her husband in the convict stripes of what in her mind is an innocent slayer. we're the efe- ments of a sad situation presented yes- terday morning to Secretary of State E. R. McDavid by Mrs. Earle. wife of E. o. Earle, sent to the penitentiary in 1902 for the murder of his landlord, George Patten, of Tallapoosa County.
 A pair of gnarled hands by way of gestures pointed at intervals to the faee of the member of the State Board of Pardons in the midst of pathetic plea of the old woman for a pardon for her husband. She is little beyond the zenith of life by mathematical cal culation. but she has grown old through care more than age. The hands that are now gnarleG from everyday toll before the conviction of her husband were the soft ones of a fairly young wife enjoying a competence.
 Around the wife of the convict and dotting all parts of the little private office of the Secretary of State were the six children, who bit alternately a soda cracker apiece, and the tips of their fingers. They appeared little in terested in the pursuit of the mother She fought out her case with a long, coherent string of arguments. ana looked through tears that trickled down her cheek. Although the children did not enter verbally into the plea. their presence lent a silent pathos to the scene. While distressed convict wives have appeared before the Secretary of State before and brought children with them, probably never has that number of tots been introduced in behalf Of their father, for whom mercy Is prayed
 There was a subtle meaning in the -Ix 4f nrfn or q A recommendation of clemency out of the Secretary of State. She seemed to im- press this young member of the Board of Pardons with the pity of her story. It was based on that inexorable rule of evidence which does not admit the testimony of the wife of an accused man. She told of how she had been blocked from giving an account or what she had seen while the only other eye witness of the killing of Mir. Pat ten were the latter's wife and half witted boy, she claimed.
 The version of the woman was in the nature of revelation when com pared with the evidence that put her husband in stripes. If she is to be taken at her word, the shooting was in pure self-defense, and Earle is being wrongfully punished. At the conclu- sion, being struck with the frankness of the woman's statements and the condition of her home and family, Sec retary McDavid told Mrs. Earle to put what she said in affidavit form. Then 1t might be the basis for recommen- dation for clemency, or at least a con- sideration of the Board She left, ap- parently disappointed at this, for Speigner. where Earle Is serving his sentence.
 As told by Mrs. Earle, MT. Patten had a business quarrel with her husband

MIR. SOWELL RESIGNS
SUCCESSOR OF AUDITOR NOT YET
 NAMED.
ExpeeteA That Governor win Todny Clear Un Hase of Doubt as to
 Two Important Ap- pofntments.

F
 State Auditor T. l.. Sowell yesterday sent his resignation to Governor Jeks. to take effect October 15. Before this date he hopes to be appointed to the bench of the Walker County Law and Equity Court. to be made vacant when the Governor accepts resignation of Judge Peyton Norvell. That resignation has besa in the hands of the Governor since last Saturday.
 The conditional verbal resignation of the State Auditor was made to the Governor in person by Mir. Sowell two CT three days ago. It was not until yesterday, however, that it was reduced tI writing and everything is in form now for the Governor to make the ap- pointments. one to provide a successor of Judge Noryell and the other a suc- cessor of MT, ,6owell s
 There seemed to be a prevalent opin. ion in .he Capitol that Mir. Sowelr. successor would be named yesterda, afte rnoon. This was probably based or the written resignation of MT. Sowell which 1t was conjectured, had probably been called for by the Governor as z mattc: of form. It was thought thai the appointments would follow a few hours thereafter but half the officials dors until a late hour found out that another day would pass with the ten sion as tight as ever.
 The V hols business is wrapt in mys- tery so far as the gossip of the Capitol can penetrate. The clerks of the Au- ditor's office are in the midst of a busy period now making up the annual re- ports of that office and not as much anxiety can be read on their faces as on other official faces and clerks who seem to manifest lively speculative interest in the probable successor of Mir. Sowell. The only thing definite ia that the appointment will come before October IS. Who it will be nobody but the Governor knows.

FIRE IN MINES.

Pueblo. Colo, Oct. GA defective electrical generator started a destruc- tive fire at the Fremont coal mine near Florence. Colorado. at about noon today. All the buildings. including the shaft house, were destroyed.
 Thirty-five men were working in the mine at the time the fire started. Ten were rescued with difficulty and twenty-five were still in the mine at f o'clock this afternoon. By some good fortune the air compressor was not damaged by the flames and 1t is confidently expected that the entombed men will be taken out alive.
 It is not known whether the mine itself is on fire nor is it stated that the fire is under control. No estimate of the financial loss can yet be made.

This floor contains six large airy wards with four beds in each. The opening of this new floor will enable us to extend our charity work. but will also increase our expenses, as many articles of furnishing for the linen, diet rooms and for surgical sup plies will be needed.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such varied and useless lot of reme- dies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamber aims Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex- tensive sale, has met with great sue cess in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will re. lieve the pain, and hundreds of sui ferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle? For sale by all dealers in patent medicines.
