DEATH RIDE
STORY
Miss Elizabeth Todd Tells How
She Pleaded to Halt Davis
Suicide.

With the identification of the hand
somely dressed woman who was with
Carl Davis, the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic agent of HARRISON, Ga,
lust before his suicide on an Atlanta
bound train Sunday night, as Miss
Elizabeth Todd, well-known member
of a prominent family of that city,
the mystery of the mans act was e
vealed Monday in a remarkable story.
The young woman was on the train
with Davis from HARRISON to Senola
on his ride to death. To her the
agent confided his determination to
kill himself, declaring that he could
not endure the difficulties into which
he had been plunged since his moth
er's death, and had decided to end 1t
all.
Miss Todd told the story of her har-
rowing experience with Davis at her
home in HARRISON where she rested
nearly Frustrated, from the strain.
She declared that the agent had told
her just before his departure OF his
suicidal intention, and that she had
ridden with him for six miles in an
effort to get him 10 abandon his plan,
without avail.
Abandons the Attempt.
Finally, as the train sped on, ne
pleaded with her to leave him that
she might not witness the act. Driven
nearly frantic by her failure to save
the mans life, Miss Todd finally aban"
doned her attempt at Senoia and re-
turned to her home.
Immediately following the report of
the suicide a search was made for
Miss Todd, who had been seen. at the
station with Davis when he departed.
JJpon her return to HARRISON she told
the story.

Atlanta" she told the chief of po-
lice of HARRISON. "By accident l met
Mr., Davis and he told me he also
was going to Atlanta.

thought was a joke. Then he asked
me not to go on that train but to

HOT BAT TIE
COMES IN
COUNCIL
Woodward's Old Foes Join for
Bitter War-Fear Only Los

Declarations by influential men,

sages at the meeting of Council Mon

number of members of Council VINO
are seeking good committee appoint
ments in the proverbial position o.

Obviously it would displease Mayor
Woodward very much to have any Of
his seeming friends vote to annul his
disapproyals of measures. 1t has been
some time since he sent a veto mes
sage to Council and the relations be-
tween him and a majority Of the
Council members is far more friendly
than during the period in the early
part of his administration when Coun-
Gil overrode thirty-five of his vetoes
IN rapid succession.
The reason is the simple fact that
Mayor Woodward soon is to deal out
committee appointments for the new
Council. Much to the displeasure of
some of the firm members of the
anti Woodward party in Council, GER
tain members have shown unusual
friendliness toward Mayor Woodward.
They consider that the object Of this
new attitude is to curry favor with
the Mayor that they may not be for
gotten when the new committees are
made up.
Mayor Not Forgivng.
The new feeling is 80 strong that
Mayor Woodward's vetoes undoubt-
eddy would be sustained were it not
for few members who have grape
vine" information that the Mayor
feels no spirit Of forgiveness toward
them. They have not been close
enough to Mayor Woodward to get
this information direct; fact which
gives proof that they reciprocate the
Mayors feeling.
Councilmen Claude c. Mason and AL
bert D. Thomson both declared Mon
day that motions to override the May
or's vetoes would be made at the
meeting. They are assured that they
