the present day, after having writ

Unfortunately it is not known
whence this specimen comes. 1t was
noticed in the museum some years
ago by Max Mueller, who recognized
its medical character and translated
the inscription, though rather unsat-

to find the place of it's origin. but the
specimen had come with a number
OF other antique finds of many kinds
gathered from various portions of
Egypt, and its exact provenience, to
use the archaeologic term, could not

Inc prescription as written seems
to be copy, because portions that in
the ordinary medical writings of the
time are abbreviated are here writ
ten out completely, just as copies of
prescriptions written out by drug
g1sts today have the authorizations
enlarged.
The ingredients called for in the
prescription are mainly precious
stones. These were to be ground up,
TO be used for fumigation. Professor
Won Oefele, an authority on ancient
Egyptian medicine, suspects the case
was one Of hysteria, though there is
no indication of this on the prescrip-
ton itself.

For those of moderate wealth a more
modest stone would do. For the poor

cure the nervous affection of ordi-

capable of producing the same effect
on the neurotic symptoms of the
wealthy, for whom something quite
different and, above all. much more
costly is required.

AN ABLE AND DISTINGUISHED
ARRAY OF COUNSEL.

A Sandersville dispatch says that
considerable interest centers in the
trial of Prof. Haley Johnston, which
will be held in Washington county
superior court next week. Mr.. John
ston, who was principal of Tennille
public schools and whose home is at
Dawson, is charged with the murder
of DR.. Kelley, one of the most prom
inent citizens of Tennille, having
committed the homicide last spring.
The tragedy was precipitated by
the fact that Mr., Johnston had some
misunderstanding with one Of DR..
Kelley's sons, who was student of
his, and the teacher and the doctor
had been on bad terms for some
time.
Because of the prominence of the
families Of both Kelley and Johnson

A New York dispatch says: Avi-
ator Harry N Atwood of Boston land
ed at Governors Island at 2:38 p.
m. today, completing his 1,265-mile
air journey begun at st. Louis twelve

any aviator in the world, but did it
with thirty miles added and about
ten days less time.

YOUTHFUL BAKER COUNTY MUIR
DERER MUST GO TO THE PEN.
His Mother and Stepfather Yet to Be
Tried as Accessories to the Muir

Tried as Accessories to the Muir
der of Ernest Barksdale.
The Albany Herald states that
Jesse Fulgum Hudgins, the convict
ed murderer of Ernest Barksdale,
the Tampa broker, whose decompoB-
ed body was found in an old we'll in
Baker county, will not be removed
from the Dougherty county Jail and
sent to the penitentiary until after
the trial of his mother Mrs Joe
Leary, and his step-father, Joe Leary
This decision has been made in spite
of the fact that the supreme court
has upheld the verdict in Hudgins
case.
The trial of the Learys will take
place at Newton next month, when
Baker superior court meets. Joe
Leary is under indictment as acces-
sorry before the fact and Mrs. Leary
as accessory after he fact in the
murder of young Barksdale.
Hudgins, though held by the state,
in the Dougherty county jail, where
he was placed for safekeeping both
before and after his trial, and pend
ing the decision of the supreme
court, is wanted as a witness for the
defense in the trial of the Learys,
and not by the state. He is held
to save the expense of sending him
to the penitentiary and then sending
him back for trial.
A Sensational Case.
The trial of the two Learys will
renew interest in one of the most
sensational murder cases in the Grim
inal annals of Georgia.
Ernest Barksdale, broker and
prominent citizen of Tampa, Fla,
came to Georgia to collect some mon
ey that he alleged had been stolen
from him by Hudgins while the lat
ter was in his employ at Tampa some
months previously. He had many
conferences at the little town OF
Leary and at Hudgins' bachelor quar-
tiers on his mothers plantation in
the backwoods of Baker county.
Body Found in Old Well.

HUDGINs' SENTENCE UPHELD

couple of weeks, and during that
time, it is alleged he made a settle
ment with the Hudginses, receiving
something like $500, which Mrs.
Leary had succeeded in raising. Then
Barksdale disappeared. The few peo-
pie in the sparsely settled country
who knew of BaEksdales visit
thought he had gone back to his
home in Tampa. His relatives in
Florida, who knew little of his mis-
sion to Georgia, were beginning to
wonder what was OBTAINING him so
long, when the news was received
that his dead body had been found in
an old well, or prospect hole, made
by a former step-father of Hudgins
man named Dilldine, while pros
pecting for gold. The hole was in
the middle of cotton patch not far
from Elmodel, in Baker county.
At first the body was not identified
as that of Barksdale, but later this
was done, and mesh by mesh fate
wove net of circumstantial evil
dence that finally dragged young
Hudgins from his obscurity and held
him to view as the perpetrator of the
crime.
Later Hudgins' mother and step
father became involved in the mesh
es of the net and they, too, will have
to stand trial for alleged participa-
ton in the crime.
The trial of young Hudgins was a
sensational one, and circumstantial
evidence was so strong against him
as to leave not a doubt in the minds
of the jurors that he was guilty, but
because of the fact that it was cir
cumstantial evidence the jury recon-
mended the prisoner to the mercy of
the court, and thereby he ESCAPED
the death penalty and was sentenced
to Imprisonment for life.
Did Not Want New Trial.
After Hudgins had been convicted
and sentenced his attorneys carried
the case to the supreme court,
against the wishes, it is understood,
OF Hudgins himself, who has said
since he was placed in Dougherty
Jail that didn't want a new trial
that he was satisfied with the find
ing of the jury as it was and feared
that if he were to be tried again he
would be hanged. He said he pre-
terred to risk the chances of new evil
dence being brought out that would
eventually result in his pardon.
