Two Months, and He Persistent
ly Refuses All Medicine.
ATLANTA.-The case of William
M. Cox of Auste1l, who is held in
the county jail on the charge of hav-
ing murdered DR.. j. R. SeWell in
the latter's Office in this city, is one
of the most puzzling and peculiar
that has ever come under the atten-
ton of the federal authorities.
"a, Cox killed SeWell as the result of
a morbid belief that the physician
who had taken his money, proposing
to cure him of malady with which
hewas afflicted, had made him worse
than he was.
After the homicide Cox tried to
kill himself and was taken to the
Grady Hospital, where he gradually
recovered from the wound he had in
ficted upon himself, and was remov-
ed to the hospital ward in the county
jail
But according to the physicians
attending him, Cox is gradually kill
ing himself Since he killed Dr.. Cox,
five months ago, he has not been
known to speak more than two words
at time. During the two months
he has been in the jail no sound has
escaped his lips, and he has persist
emily refused all medicines and all
nourishment except a bowl of thin
soup, which he takes three times a
day, and it has to be fed to him by
one of the attendants
When he committed the crime he
weighed $50 pounds; now he has
wasted away to skin and bones and
weighs scarcely 80 pounds.
For a long time it was the belief
Of the doctors that he was sham
ming, but so persistent has he been
that they no longer feel they can
account for his condition on that
theory. Nor will any of the physi-
clans who have seen him give a def
mite statement as to the character
of the case.
DR.. S. H. Green, the county physi-
clan says if the man is really able to
think and understand it would be
almost impossible for him to conceal
it for so long a time from those
around him. He is now of the opin-
ion that the man is an imbecile, or
has become so as the result of the
wound inflicted upon himself which,
although it has healed, left it's effect
because of his refusal to submit to
treatment. He and the other ply
sicians who have seen the case are
now of the opinion that Cox will be
dead within short time, and that
his case will never come to trial.
Cox is unmarried, but his mother
and several brothers live near Aus
tell.

BACON REPLIES TO DEPEW
GEORGIAN DEFENDS THE SOUTH
AND IT'S ELECTION LAWS.
New Yorker, While Opposing Popu-
lar Election of Senators, Is
Called to Task.

WASHINGTON. - Opposition to
the resolution now pending in the
senate calling for the popular cleo
ton of members of that body in the
several states was voiced today by
Senator Depew of New York. Mr..
Depew, while opposing the PROPOSE
ton to so chosse the senator's, yet
offered an amendment which would
entitle all the male citizens of the
United States to cast their ballots in
such elections.
DepeW's View.
To him the proposed amendment
to the constitution as reported from
the judiciary committee seemed but
an effort under the guise of popular
izing the election of United States
senators to permit the states to dis
franchise under the constitution
large classes of their electors.
THE title of this proposition, -
said the senator, lis to allow the peo-
pie to vote. The purpose and object
of the resolution is permanently to
prevent the people from voting in
any state where the dominant power
or oligarchy wishes to disfranchise a
certain portion of the citizens of that
state"
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia took excep-
tion to some of Mr.. Depew's remarks
relative to the Acknowledgement OF
the negro in the south, saying that
the disproportion of the southern
to the northern vote in the regular
elections was due largely to the fact
that as a rule the republicans put no
ticket in the field, rendering it I'M
necessary for democrats to turn out.
AS a consequence of this condition,
he said, the vote at the primaries
were always much larger than that
at the legal elections.
"HOw About It?''
How about those who are not
, permitted to vote?" asked Mr.. De-
pew.
LAS to that" replied Mr.. Bacon
Gin Georgia, and l think it is true
in other states, no man is denied the
right of suffrage who has the quail
| fications required by the law No
obstacles whatever are placed in the
way of such electors; that is a ques-
ton to be decided by the courts"

A SMOOTH BUNCO BUNCH
THE UNWISE RICH AND THE
GAY SIMOLEUMS.
How the Duke Readers Worked Slick
Game on Jealous Women Who
Wanted Hubbies Watched.


Wanted Hubbies Watched.
"One of the smoothest gangs that
ever struck New York city was the
bunch posing as duke readers" be-
gan the grizzled member of the cen
trail Office. Duke readers are bunco
steerers whose primary stall is a
palmist, guaranteed to reveal duplic-
ity on the part of the husband or
wife, as the case may be. They do
business with those wealthy mem
bers of society whose money fails to
make them pure and wise. During
the last year this gang made many
thousands of dollars in this city, and
its practices have been broken up
by members of the central Office only
recently
|. THE chief graft has been upon
wealthy women, and the scheme has
proven one OF the most ingenious in
all along the long list of games The
scheme involved one woman and two
or more men, and worked like a
charm. The first step in the graft
was an insertion of an advertisement
in the newspapers reading something
like this:
'Palmistry reveals the inmost
secrets of domestic and private life;
communications strictly confidential;
meddlerB need not apply. HIRA."
Then would follow an address in
the COS, west of Central Park. A
test of the manner in which adver-
tisements are read was proven in
this case. No sooner had the ads be-
gun to appear than smartly gowned
women began to step from carriages,
private motors and taxis at the given
address. Even men of position are
known to have called upon the PALM
iSt
