or not, Tan Cleghorn, the young Alnb9y
bed, viii be prosecuted, according to
! w. j. Cochran, brother-i n-law of the
girl. He declared today that poison or no
poison CleghoTn was responsible for
the tragedy, and he will not rest until a
court has tried him.
| In the meantime, Cleghorn. who yes
terday appeared al Ashburn to protest
| his innocence, declares that he will well
come any investigation He not only
denies ne poisoned the girl. but asserts
that he was not responsible for the
condition that led to her death. Miss
Marchman. he says, long before her
death told him of her plight and ac-
cused another of her suitors.
Cleghorn, who made an exclusive,
complete statement to The Georgian
Yesterday. says that he never was
engaged to marry the girl; that the
! trip they made together to Ashburn
when members of her family declare
| they were to be welded had no more
! import than any ordinary ride. OF his
own accord ne gave out a letter from
Miss Marchman, which referred to the
ride and which did not mention mar,
riage.
The letter read:
Letter Calls Him Kind Friend"
October 81, 1912.-Mr. Tan Cleg-
horn: Kind Friend will drop you
a few lines to let you hear from me.
| Say, Tan, you don't know how my
heart is broken this morning to
think how ! have been treated. Say,
Tan, have heard something of you
and myself the day we went to
Ashburn, so come down home to-
nightRif you can. know you would
like to know what 1t Is.
Well. l will ring off for this time.
as l haven't the heart to write
much, so hope to see you soon.
From your friend. MINNIE.
The young farmer declares that he
has never been in hiding and Is willing
to face any charge the relatives Of the
girl may bring against him. He AK
serts he will stay in Ashburn until his
name Is cleared.
But the girls relatives are just as
positive in their accusation OF Cleghorn
as he is in his own defense. Cochran
today said that he was only waiting for
definite finding on the examination Of
the girls stomach before he takes steps
to have the man prosecuted.
Calls CIeghorn Responsible.
Whether the girl was poisoned or
not" said the brother-in law, "Cleg-
horn is responsible for her death, and
the law ought to hold him for it, and
will not rest until he answers to the
charge before a court"
Cochran still was undetermined as to
what action he would take on the rec
concentration of DIR. Funke, the Atlanta
chemist. who examined the girls stom-
ach FOR trace OF poison. DR.. Funke re-
ported that If poison had been intro
duced ii had been absorbed by this time
and that no definite conclusion could
be reached until the brain and the liver
were examined.
This would necessitate the exhuming
of the body He offered to come to
Ashburn TO make the tests, but so far
the family has not decided whether to
follow the poison theory further.

Any little left-overs like corn or bits

A few cut-up dates or figs or raisins
