DENMARK'S WIDOW
FIGHTS REQUEST TO
GEORGIA UNIVERSITY

Claiming that there are other insti-
tutions more worthy than the Univer-
sity of Georgia, Mrs. Brantley s. Den
mark, Of Savannah, is fighting in the
courts to have set aside the will Of her
husband, which leaves $4,000 to the
university.
When Mr. Denmark died in 1901 he
left his entire estate to his wife and son,
with the proviso that if his son died
without heir that the estate should
go to the university The son died
five years ago without an heir. Re-
Gently Mrs. Denmark brought suit to
have the will annulled on the grounds
that more than one-third of the prop
erty was to be given to an educational
institution.
The suit is being tried in the Chat
ham county superior court and the
trustees OF the university are lighting
it vigorously

EAGER FOR
CLAY EYE
7 ES 7
Noted Scientists of the Whole
Country Deeply Interested in
Proposed Experiment.

Scientists of a number of the biggest
cities in the country expressed keen
interest today in the proposed operation
in which the eyes of the condemned
wife slayer. Robert L. Clay, will be
used to restore the sight of John Cash
in, the blind Atlanta paper seller.
Noted specialists throughout the
country are interested in the expert
ment The operation admittedly is I'M
known to science, but the thought is ex-
pressed, even by the most sleptical of
the ocuhsts who have read the blind
mans proposal, that science has not
reached its limits and the success of
the operation may not be impossible
Previous experiments have proved
the optic nerve can not be regenerated,
once death has supervened, and the
proposal is that the cOrnea of Clays
eyes be supplied Cashin immediately
after the physicians at the execution of
the wife slayer shall have pronounced
him Iool

room at Marquette hotel and Thomas
occupied an adjoining room.
About o'clock this morning Schepps

LAWYER SETTLING
CASE OVER CLIENTS
HEAD GETS NO FEE

Georgia lawyers, who are in the habit
Of compromising cases over the heads
of clients and still getting away with
fees, will be forced to move with great
finesse as a result of the decision in
the Rodgers Pettgrew case, GWinnett
county, handed down by the supreme
court today.
Charles Pettigrew, a Lawrenceville
attorney, acting for Mrs. Rodgers in
a land suit, took a verdict on agree
ment with opposing counsel in the face
of his clients demand that there be no
compromise. Mrs. Rodgers refused to
pay the fee and Pettigrew promptly
sued and got judgment.
In reversing Judge Jones, the high
court said:
"A lawyer who compromises his eli
ent's case against the latter's express
direction is not entitled to any compen-
sation."

Healer Proves to Jury
That Esprit Of Lord
Causes Strange Cures
Colquitt County Man Is Acquitted
of Practicing Medicine and
Osteopathy Without License.

MOULTRIE, GA, Aug. 15.-When
j. w Bennett succeeded in convincing
a jury in the city court of Colquitt
county that three years ago the Spirit
of the Lord" had taken hold of him,
since which time he had known no
peace of body or mind except when he
was healing "all manner of diseases,
he was acquitted of a charge of prac-
ticing medicine and the science of os-
teopathy without a license. But it took
the combined testimony Of Bennett and
more than a score Of witnesses-aH
leading citizens of the county-to clear
him. These witnesses testified that
asthma disappeared with the touch Of
the hand, rheumatism was cured as by
magic, cancers of long standing began
to heal under his wonderful treatment
and blindness that had oaffled skilled
specialists was wiped away by his
touch. And all said that the cures were
wrought without charge
Bennett said that he sought to fee
from this strange spirit. but unrest
beset him and his only relief came
through healing the afflicted.
According to the testimony. Ben
nett has been practicing his art Of
healing in the western part of the coun-
ty The state unsuccessfully attempted
to prove that he had carried medicine
and in some cases used it, while in
others he had practiced the science Of
osteopathy, receiving money for his
services
