DAVE EDWARDS
PAYS PENALTY
MURDERER OF DAVIS is SWUNG
INTO ETERNITY AT CHAT
TANOOGA.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-
At O'Clock this evening Dave Ed
warls was hanged in the county Jail
here for the murder of ]. w. Davis
His neck was broken by the fall. A
large crowd surged about the prison,
but few were permitted to witness the
execution.
On the scaffold Edwards spoke of
the man he had murdered, saying:
IF Davis is in that part Of eternity
where the sinful go, have no doubt
that will be with him in few min
utes. Davis went out of this life much
as I am going. He had little time to
prepare himself for the future world"

GOV. PATTERSON
FOR THIRD TERM
CHATTANOOGA ORGAN OF MA
CHINE SAYS He WILL MAKE
RACE TO BE INDICATED.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Jan. %
A Nashville special to the Chattanooga
Times which is printed on the first
rage under scare heads says that Gov.
Patterson will be a candidate for an
other nomination. 1t is stated that
the Governor will appeal to the Dem
Ocrats of the State to vindicate his
position on the liquor and other issues
upon which he is out of harmony with
the majority of his party in the Cen
eral Assembly. Gov. Patterson will
challenge whatever competitor, ac-
cording to this report, that he may
have to meet him in joint debate.
This story is one of the most inter
esting pieces of political gossip that
has appeared recently. 1t has been
generally understood that Gov. Patter-
son would be a candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed Fraz-
Ter. whose term expires two years
hence. 1t had been believed that his
machine would select some candidate
for Governor to stand in the place of
Patterson, but this report has upset
the calculations of the politicians.
From the fact that the Times cores
pondent is in the confidence of Pat
terson and all of the machine crowd |
people here are inclined to accept the
statement that Patterson will seek a |
third term as authentic.

TRANSFERS HEAVY
BUSINESS DURING PAST MONTH

GOOD.

Real estate transactions like all
other business have been active in
Maury during the past month. A to-
Il Of 122 deeds have been filed for
registration with Register Lipscomb.
The amount represented in these
transfers was $174,OSO, a pretty large
amount for one month. Could this
rate be kept up for full year the
total for the twelve months would be
$2,oSS,960. 1t is safe to say that the
total will be well over a million and

Io'clock that evening while the girl
was at work in the kitchen, her mis-
tress saw an unknown man go toward
the kitchen door, She heard him
speak to her domestic, and then saw
him hurry away In a few minutes
Annie Mullins went upstairs and then
left the house.
From the dress of the young woman
when her body was found next MORN
ing it was evident that she had in
tended staying away from the house
a short time only. When found she
was fully clothed, even to her hat
which was still pinned to her hair
Her throat was cut, apparently with a
vicious slash that had nearly severed
the head from the body. Her gloves
were still on her hands, and the gen
eral appearance of the body indicated
that while the girl had made a sharp
resistance, the murder had been COM
mitted quickly.
Theories we're exploited and aban-
doned, men with whom she had been
known to have talked on several occa-
sions relatives with whom she was
said to have had disagreements, and
friends of her childhood, who had not
been known to have seen her for
years, were tracked and questioned,
but without any clue being obtained
TO the murderer
Early in March of this year Mantir
and Delorey were arrested on suspi-
cion and questioned by the police for
one whole night Delorey is said to
have admitted that he had been on
the scene when the girl was killed,
but said he had no part in the murder.
What he told the police seemed to
place the burden of proof on Mantir.

TO Be TRIED FOR MURDER.
Peter C. DeIorey and James Mantir
Must Answer For the Murder
of Miss Annie Mullins.
aCHerald Specially

Boston. Mass, Nov. unless the
police are mistaken, the trial of Peter
c. Delorey and James Mantir, which
is scheduled to begin in the superior
court at East Cambridge tomorrow,
will prove the truth of the old saying
that murder will out. The crime for
which the young men are accused was
the murder of Annie Mullins, young
girl whose mutilated body was found
in a field in Arlington a year ago last
March For more than a year the
case completely baffled the authorities,
who were unable to obtain the slight
est clue to the perpetrators of the
outrage. Then. when the public had
almost forgotten the affair except in
the immediate vicinity of the place
where it occurred, the two youths
were arrested as a result of state
ments made by one of them. Delorey,
the one who was arrested first, is said
to have made a complete confession
involving Mantir in the crime.
Few crimes have caused SO much
stir in this vicinity as the murder of
the Mullins girl She was employed !
as domestic in the home of a Har-
ward profession AS far as her en-
ployers knew she had few friends or
in the neighborhood and
received few visitors. She was re-
igious and a devout attendant of the
church.

she obtained permission of her mis-
.ress to attend church and had made
to do so. About Z

Grand Junction, Colo, Nov. 2.-The

alone.
The preferential system of voting is
designed to secure an accurate express

polls with a minimum cost and effort. |
City wards have been abolished, The
administration of the city is divided
into five departments: Public affairs,
finance and supplies, streets, health |

Each commissioner is required to take
active charge of his department The
average pay for the commissioners
amounts to $1,000 year.
