With this statement Capt William

police activity In the investigation OF
the death Of DR.. Helene Knabe. former
state bacteriologist. whose throat was
cut while she lay ON her bed last Mon
day night.
Captain Holtz declared that he did
not intend to reflect upon the charac-
ter Of Doctor Knabe In saying he be-
lieved she knew her murderer. II she
was murdered. Doctor Knabe's repu-
tation was unblemished," said he. and
she lectured to young women and men
on the necessity of social purity. as
well as on physical culture and by
giene.
But there are a number OF possible
motives for her murder.
1T is certain that robbery was not
the motive.
Some OF Doctor Knabe's own friends
suggested to the police the idea that
she ended her own life should not be
cast aside, though the knife with
which she was killed had disappeared

March OF The WEEVIL
TO GEORGIA IS RAPID
Great Pest Will Be Here In
Short While

Atlanta, Ga, August N-Unless the
farmers of Georgia heed the warning
of the coming of the boil weevil to
this state the cotton tragedy of Mis-
sissippi will be repeated in two years.
This is the opinion of J. d. McGec,
of Knoxville, Ga, one Of the sixteen
demonstrators named by the United
States bureau Of plant industry is tour
the boil weevil belt this summer and
report the progress of the ravages CT
the pest.
The demonstrators met in Meridian
July 16 and travelled over the infected
sections of Mississippi, visiting Match
ez, Jackson, Port Gibson Vicksbufg
and many smaller towns. Several of
the demonstrators are still in the field
and will finish their tour of inspection
at Baton Rouge August 30.
| In speaking of the damages wrought
| by the boil weeyil in Mississippi and
southwestern Alabama and the likeli-
hood of it's reaching Georgia within
two years, Mr.. MCGEE, who was a Wis
itor at the office of the commission
eT of agriculture Saturday, said;
Il want to issue a solemn warning
to the planters of Georgia, those who
have not needed the approach of the
bool weevil and even to those that
have.
IF the farmers of Georgia do not
diversity their crops and do not take
all the precautions possible to be-
gin fight on the weeyil the moment
it makes its appearance on the Geor-
gia line, the tragedy of the MISSISSIPPI
pi cotton grower will be enacted
again.

been. There was lots of damaging tes-
timony, but one of the supreme court
of Virginia delivered a dissenting
opinion and stoutly contended to the
last that the state of Virginia had no
legal right to kill the young lawyer.
That opinion is talked about to this
day. 1t has been brough to lighe sin e
the Beattie case to show the state
should demand nothing short of actual
proof before Furnishing prisoner by
death.
But the jury evidently held that
young Cluverius either killed the girl
or was directly responsible for her
death. Even if he drove her to suicide,
they contended that hanging was not
too bad for him and that he ought to
have been executed on general prin-
ciples. Of course this was a dangerous
precedent. McCue did not confess TO
the public but he told enough to the
ministers of the Gospel to authorize
them to make the statement after his
death that mo legal mistake had been
made" Cluverius was stolid and
self-centered. He was full of nerve
throughout and never lost himself 4
moment. Crowds cheered when the
jury convicted him and he remarked
jokingly to one of the policemen

The Beattie case in Richmond is
very much like the Cluverius case,
which was tried in the same city
twenty-siX years ago.
That was one of the most celebrated
cases ever known in the South. Thorn
as J. Cluverius was a young lawyer
who was more or less in love with
Lillian Madison, his cousin. They met
by appointment in Richmond as they
had met before, and the last seen OF
them the couple were walking out in
the direction of the old city reservoir
Two or three days later the body of the
girl was found floating in the lake and
the young cousin was finally arrested
The evidence was purely circum-
stantial. No one saw the crime com
mitted. No one knows up to this day
whether he threw the girl into the
water or whether she committed sui
eide. There was ample room for eithr
theory. Cluverius, like young Henry
Beattie, was full of nerve and he
simply sat back and defied the court &c
Igove the case. The motive was es-
tablished all right, but the crime was
not fastened upon him beyond the
shadow of a doubt.

FRRMER FAMOUS Wife MURDER
CASES IN The old DOMINION

The Cluverius jury said, You We're
the last person seen in company with
this girl. Now the burden rests UpOl
you to clear your own skirts and 10
show what became Of her" Up to a
certain point the state fears the onus

side. That was the case of McCue, the
Charlottesville mayor, who shot his
wife in a bath room. No one saw him
kill her. There We're no witnesses for
the state except young children, and
they naturally sided with their father
as he was their only living parent.

and McCue was electrocuted. Virginia
is not merciful to wife murderers, and
she has not in the past been Overpar-

unimpeachable proof. McCue cor

never confessed. But he must have re-
