In testifying yesterday afternoon,
Mrs. Dodge said Heath arrived at her
home at about o'clock on the morn

the bedroom. In response to questions
as to how she came to tell Heath about
her revolver, Mrs. Dodge said;
81 was wiping the Dashboard when
Heath pointed to the safe and remarked:
4 suppose that is full of money!
II told him it was not. He then
said that he was not afraid of burglars,
for he had 4s-calibre revolver which
he kept ready. To this replied, I
have one, too, but | should be afraid
to use it,"
After that Mrs Dodge testified she
went to the kitchen to do her ironing.
While she was thus engaged, Heath went
out to warm can of varnish That
was about 9:30 and it was the last she
saw of him alive. She was startled
later, she said by the sound of the
shots and went into the room to inves-
tigate. She found the painter lying on
the floor face down in pool of blood.
She turned him over and tried to force
him to take some brandy and then went
to the telephone and tried to get central
to call help. Being unable to raise CEN
trail, she went to the door and called
to neighbors, and asked them to get a
doctor.
''Did you shoot Heathf" Mrs. Dodge
was asked.
'eNo..
'Did you take the revolver out of the
drawerT
NO"
"Did you see Heath shoot"
mo"
eDid you know that the revolver was

NWould you have allowed your grand
daughter, Priscilla, to keep her play
things in that drawer il you had known
the revolver was loadeds"
NO"

Dodge said in his hearing, 81 know I'll
go up for this" Mrs. Dodge denied yes
terday that she had made that state
ment Mrs. Dodge denied that she had
used liquor or narcotics, or that she was
angry with Heath. Everything was
pleasant and Heath seemed to talk that
day more than usual she said.

NEWS OF TROY
Contractors Are Busy on the New
 Jail in Pike County

Troy. October 14.-(Special.) )-Tha contractors have begun work on the new jail which the commissioners Of like county ordered to be erected some time ago. The contract was let to the Southern Structural Steel company of San Antonio, Tex. The new jail will be large enough to accommodate about 60 occupants and is to be built of the most up to date material and in the most substantial method While the work of construction is going on most of the prisoners will be placed in Montgomery couty jail and kept there until the home prison is com pleted. Two young white men, the Spivey brothers, who are being held on a charge of murder. will be placed in Luvern jail at their own request, this being nearer their home.
 The contractors are hard at work fitting up Pike county's fair grounds. The location of the fair ground is about one mile from the center of Troy and is easily accessible by train, buggy or automobile. Inasmuch as this coun : ty has never had fair, all the ex- hibit buildings, grandstand, race track and fencing have to be erected new. This necessitates large outlay Of money. but the management states that most of the money has been secured. It is having an excellent race track built and expects to make racing fea- ture of the fair.

STATE EXHIBIT
 GOES TO SELMA

Selma, October 4.-(Special. )-The Aln' bama agriculture exhibit which has beer shown at the State Fair at Birmingham will be brought to Selma and shown dur ing the Central Alabama fair. Secretary Richards and Superintendent Doherty have just returned from Birmingham, where they arranged with Commissioner l<olb for this exhibit, which is considered one of the best that has ever been got- ten together by the state and it will prove quite a drawing card for the Selma fair
 It was the original intention to show the exhibit in Montgomery after the Bir- mngham fair, but as the dates of the fairs in the two cities come so close to- gether it was found that the arrangement could not be made and Selma secured the attraction The fair which will begin here on Tuesday, October A. will be opened by a big parade which will be lead by two brass bands and every effort to make the parade as attractive possible Is being made by the officers of the Cen tral Alabama Fair association.
