CRAWFORD HEIRS EXPECT
SEARCH FOR BARBER To
BARE PRE-NUPT|AL PLOT
Relatives Think That Lump Will Tell
Woman Held on Poison Charge
Planned to Wed Him on Her Hus-
bands Death.

directed by Atlanta lawyers discov-
ers in New York man named Fred
Lump. the prosecution in the case
against Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford.
who is charged with poisoning her
husband. Joshua B. Crawford, thinks
a e-nuptisl plot against Crawford
can be proved.
The alleged plot was between Mrs.
Crawford. then Mrs. Savage, and
Lump. She would marry the wealthy
Crawford. obtain his money, and then
marry Lump, say her accusers.
Lump is a barber by trade and a
Bohemian by nativity. He is sup
posed to be in New York, and in
that city detectives in the employ
Of the prosecution have been at work
for several days. Every message that
comes from them, however, is one
of failure.
Colonel James Makes Charge.
The charge of a plot first was made
by Col. ]. S. James, who is attorney
for the contesting Crawford heirs,
who ordered the arrest Of Lump.
Colonel James said that Lump admit
ted his being in Atlanta at the time
Of Crawford's death. and that other
testimony valuable to the prosecution
was given by him in deposition sew
eral weeks ago. But present search
for ia Bohemian TlroUpH

Colonel James points to Mrs. E. c.
Bursener as one of the witnesses of
the prosecution to Substantiate the
murder plot charge. Mrs. Bursener,
1t is claimed, will testify that she
frequently heard Mrs. Crawford say
that she would marry Crawford, get
his money, and later run away with
Lump. The prosecution viii seek to
prove also by Mrs. Gertrude A. Paint
er, it is said, that there was a def
mite agreement to this plan existent
between Mrs. Crawford and Lump
The forces that are trying to sad
die Mrs. Crawford with the murder
charge are scoring heavily in the
closely -allied civil suit. Heirs of
Joshua B, Crawford, trying to break
the will by which the widow received
the bulk Of the estate, charging I'M
due influence, have produced a num-
Der Of witnesses to swear to an an
tagonism between CrawforS and Mrs.
Mary B. Crawford.
One of the witnesses was Mrs. L.
c. Dllingsley, who testified that
Joshua B. Crawford said, time and
again, that he would not marry the
woman. This statement was elected
in the attempt to prove that Craw-
ford was not rational. and probably
was intoxicated, when he married
Mrs Crawford.
Drunkenness Is Charged.

DIVORCE MECCA
Grand Rush Of Colonists to Take
Advantage Of the Old Law
Comes to an End.

RENO, July 19-With such songs
as Meet a Friend From Your Home
Town" and AT the Devils Ball." sung
by feminine entertainers from Metro
politan music halls, accompanied by
high-cl orcheStras, the divorce col.
ony celebrated the past week the be-
ginning of the end of the Nevada
quick divorce.
On the stroke OF the midnight hour
on Monday the curtain dropped upon
one scene in Reno's notable divorce
colony performance which has com
manded the attention of the world for
so long-that Of the almost daily ap-
pearance of nN faces upon the
streets. as men and women, from
plain country folk to deliberately
gowned and bejeweled society beau
ties, arrived 10 beein their required
six months residence in the State and
county, preparatory to the prospective
divorce action.

when 1t dealt the Knockout blow in
its ultimatum that no divorce pro-

time in which newcomers could begin
such residence -eriod to Monday last.

but ii led to a method Of publicity by
an attorney which started the bail
rolling, and it has never stopped roll
ing Its greatest momentum is being
witnessed now.
All Houses Are Thronged.
During the past month, and espe-
ciany the week ending on Monday,
the throng of newcomers has expert
enced great difficulty in securing such
apartments as they might desire. All
the hotels are crowded. as are the de-
sirable rooming houses. Available
cottages are almost as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth. In many cot
tages from four to six divorces are
living.
Some private boarding houses are
housing as many as ten of the fair
sex. and men. There are now scores
OF so-called divorces nests" here.
Every train the past fortnight has
unloaded new arrivals. the preponder-
ance Of men and very young women,

men to women increased largely.
Baby carriages and dogs played con-

Scott. Mrs. Sallie Alexander, an old
woman Of Henry County, was anoth-
err witness by whom it was sought %
prove habitual drunkenness on Craw-
rOrd's part.
Mrs. Crawford, released from the
Tower on paIi Of $3.50, has remained
in the seclusion of her home on West
Peachtree street all week, steadfastly
quiet and refusing all statements in
the face of the accusations against
her. She has said nothing regarding
the case, except a simple denial of
the charges
Reporters seeing her were treated
courteously and quietly, sand Mrs.
Crawford seemed not averse to talk
talk the subject OF the murder charge
and the plot charge in which Jumps
name appears was carefully skirted.
Mrs. Crawford is a large woman,
OF dignified appearance. Not one mo-
ment since her arrest Saturday night
has her composure broken, even
slightly. In the Tower she received
the few persons who called on her,
and during the visit did not exhibit
a sign of perturbation.
Calls Charge Awful Thing"
To reporters and to all her visitors,
when she mentioned at all the sub
ject of the murder charge, she re-
ferred to II as this awful thing"
Mrs. Crawford finds staunch friends
in her children and grandchildren,
who visited her at the Tower, and
were with her almost all the few hours
she spent in Jail, bringing her flowers,
a savory meal, and other tokens Of
their love.
Mrs. Crawfori's children are bitter
in their speech against the nephews
and neices Of Joshua r. Crawford,
who, they say, are prosecuting their
mother with extreme cruelty. Mrs.
Crawford herself accused her enc
mics of cruelty and lack of feeling.
Mrs Crawford met Joshua B. Craw-
ford when she was in charge of a
winter hotel in st. Augustine, wither
Crawford went in search of health.
II was there she met him, and there
that she married him. At his death,
there was a settlement OF his estate,
Mrs. Crawford taking hold of the
affairs with a capable hand.
An agreement was signed. and the
affairs OF Joshua B. Crawford, de-
ceased, seemed amicably settled. Then

first bill of complaint the heirs who
contested the will charged Mrs. Craw-
ford with poisoning her husband, and
OF exerting undue influence to pro-
cure a will in her favor. But IL was
not until three years later, two weeks
ago, that an examination OF the re-
mains of Joshua B. Crawford to as
certain traces Of poison was ordered.
Upon the examination came the YER
dict Of the physician that traces of
poison were vident, and Mrs. Craw.
ford was arrested.
With preliminary hearing waived,
Mrs Crawford's case is fiatly up to
