PosEcuToR MAKES OPENING
STATEMENT IN WHICH HE
TELLS OF MURDER.
Raised from obscurity by Chicago
MiIllOnaire-Married Man Chosen
BY Her Admirer-The Courtroom

Denver, Colo, Nov. PA beautiful
woman, whose life story features the
cardinal elements of human nature
braeed herself in a chair in a crowd.
ca courtroom today and h, ard a
lawyer for the state of Colorado
charge her with premeditated murder
OF her husband, and then demand that
the state take her life as a penalty.
The woman was Gertrude Gibson
patterson, said to have been plucked
from obscurity and trained for a sea
son Of luxury by a Chicago million
are, then married to a youth picked
Tor her by her admirer. 1t is for the
youths death that Mrs. Patterson
faced trial today.
Special Prosecutor Benson outlined
the case of the state. He declared the
state expects to show that Mrs. Pat
terson was surprised in compromis-
ing position by her husband. Circum-
stances, he outlined, were such as to
jeopardize her chances for success in
divorce action. So, declared the
prosecutor, she armed herself, lay In
wait for her husband at a point where
she knew he went for morning walks.
Then, when he came along, she in
veigled him to an isolated spot anc
shot him in the back-deliberately,
premeditatedly. The prosecutor ask
ed for verdict of first degree mur-
der
The discovery of his wife in com
promising position by Patterson was
described by the prosecutor in this
wise:
On the Saturday night preceding the
shooting, which occurred on Monday
morning, the state would show by wit
nesses, he said, that Patterson, accom-
panied by friend, whom the state
has been unable to find, paid an un-
expected call at his wife's home. He
found her, the prosecutor asserted,
sitting on the porch with George w.
Strain, a young Denver man, and that
when Mrs. Patterson saw him she ran
into the house cry,ng, My God! there
comes my husband
The state woIld SHOW said Ben
son, that Mrs. Patterson had told
Strain of her husbands temper and
that Strain had come armed"
Mrs. Patterson upbraided Strain,
saying his actions would interfere
with her divorce case and then asked
him for his revolver, which he gave
her.
The state will show Benson said,
that on Monday Mrs. Patterson met
her husband and after walking some
distance with him shot him twice. A
witness Of the shooting will testify
that she fired the second shot while
her husband was on his hands and
knees.

COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
TO MEET SATURDAY TO AR.
RANGE FOR ELECTION.
About $11o is Needed to Defray the
Expenses of Primary and Friends
of Candidates May Be Called Upon
to Pay 1t.

Who is to pay the expenses of the
special democratic primary to be held
III Glynn county on December Z, at
which candidate for governor and
one for commissioner of labor will be-
nominated?
That is the question which bobbed
into the mind of Secretary Butts
OF the Glynn county democratic execu-
tive committee yesterday, and about
the only way he could solve the prob
lem was a proposition that friends of
each of the three candidates pro raIe
the expense.
1t win take just about $110 to de-
fray the expenses of the primary. and
there is no provision for the payment
of the sum. OF course it is practically
impossible for the three candidates
to themselves bear this expense as
it will be about the same in every
county in the state, and if it were up
to the candidates to pay in all coun-
ties you would have to be a million
aire to run for office in Georgia.
@NO SCAANJ AIDOll NrlhAOL pay lnO
expenses of the primary as there is
no law giving it that right. When the
general election is held in January
then the expenses are borne by the
county, but none of the countys
money can be used to defray the ex-
penses of primary.
In order to discuss this matter and
make other arrangements for the pri-
mary, meeting of the executive COM
mittee has been called for Saturday
next at IL o'clock at the courthouse.
It is probable that at this meeting
some plan will be provided for the
payment of the primary expenses.
The suggestion of Secretary Butts
that the local friends, or rather the
campaign committees of the three
candidates pay the expenses will
probably be decided upon as that ap-
pears to be the easiest way out Of the
matter.

AscERTAINING DAMAGES
FOR SCHOONER PALMER

The Savannah Press contains the
following in reference to a we'll known
local case:
"The assessment of damages against
the tug Edgar r. Coney, as awarded
by Judge Emory Speer in favor of
Arthur G. CLANCY, master Of the
schooner Marie q. Palmer, and also
part owner as well as bailee OF the
cargo Of the boat, is exoe tied to be
made before long by Judge Paul E
Seabrook, who has finished the hear
ing of arguments as special commits
sioner appointed by Judge Speer.
"The libel of the schooner owners
against the tug was brought at the
February term Of the Unite1 States
district court because of the allega-
tions that the tug had carried the yes
sci around in towing her down the
coast. Judge Speer awarded judg-
ment of not more than $25 900, leav-
ing it to Judge Seabr,aE, as commits
sioner to ascertain t1s amount,
arguments were heard before
Judge Seabrook today from Messrs.
J. P. K. Bryan Of Charleston, proctor
for the tug owners; Edward E. Blod-
gett Of Boston, for the cargo owners,
and Howard NJ. Long of Philadelphia,
for the libellants. After several briefs
have been filed Judge Seabrook will
make the award of damages in favor
of the hbellants. to be confirmed by
Judge Speer"

NOT TO ENFORCE
new DUCK LAWS
COMMISSIONER MERCER TAKES
RIGHT VIEW AND NOTIFIES
LOCAL WARDEN.

Local hunters have been somewhat
worried during the past few days
over decision handed down by At
torney General Fielder to the effecs
that under the new state game law it
would be unlawful TO shoot migratory
duck, but an announcement from
Game Commissioner Mercer shows he
has taken the proper view of the SIT
NATION, it not having been intended
by the legislature to make it unlawful
to shoot duck, and the commit jsioner
has notified all county wardens not
to prosecute any one for violating rats
feature of the law. In a letter to Local
Warden Golden. Mr.. Merear says.
while it is evident that the lets
ter of the law, under the ccnstruc-
ton placed upon it by the attorney
general, protects migratory ducks. It
, Is clearly apparent that the lcgisla-
ture passing the law, tia com uittce
recommending the bill, according to
letter just received fr IN the author
Of the bill, never intended to protect
any but the summer Or wood duck.
'T, therefore, feel that it IS ms
duty. as commissioner to recommend
to you, as county warden, and through
you the deputies, no. to institute any
prosecutions for shoe ing ducks, ex-
cept in cases of sumr.er drcEs, which
may be killed only in tke snort oven

The Irishman has been in New Or
leans, where she took on cargo OF
il, 900 bales and she is now enroute
to this port, where 1900 more bales
will be loaded, which will make a
total of 1000 bales. The largest car
70 ever carried from this port by any
steamer was $4,000 or 10000 bales
