Cook Was Patient,

told Recorder Broyles Saturday, came
into his house as a. boarder and end
ed by wrecking his domestic happi-
ness, even at length demanding to
know what Cook did with his weekly
pay envelope, has taken his trunk
and got" with instructions never to
show his face in the Cook domicile
again.
Cook told Judge Broyles that he
had been forced to eat scraps While
Mrs. Cook fed Martin upon steaks
and chops, to watch her cut the but
tons from his children's clothing and
sew them on the shirts and trousers
of the star boarder. All these things
he bore because he couldn't help him
self he said, but when Martin so
far usurped the functions of the head
of the house as to demand more
intimate acquaintance with the Cook
pay envelope-then he thought he had
enough.
So he had Mrs. Cook and Martin
arrested, and Judge Broyles advised
him to run Martin out Of his home.
So the star boarder'' made his exit
in a storm of hery denunciation and a

JUDGE SPEERON
DEATH bED;END
BELIEVED NEAR
Congressional Investigation of0f-
fetal Acts Thought to Have
fastened Fatal Illness.

MT. AIRY. GA, Oct, 25,-With hope
for the life of Judge Emory Speer
abandoned by the attending physi-
clans, relatives of the stricken Fed
eral judge are Fastening to Mt. Airy
with all possible speed for last mo-
ment at his bedside before the end
comes. His daughter, Mrs. A. b. Hey
ward, arrived here tonight from Ma
con, joining her husband, who has
been at Judge Speer's bedside for the
past week
Following a week of delirium, in
which his nervous system was COM
pletely exhausted, Judge Speer suf-
fered a sinking spell Friday. and late
to- night his condition was said to be
more critical than at any time dur
ing his illness. He has been unable to
take any nourishment for more than
so hours, and paralysis has set in,
fastening the end.
Specialists Summoned.
Specialists are fastening to Mt.
Airy from Baltimore and other East
ern citiss, but 1t is feared they will
arrive too late. AS last resort an
operation may be performed, though
IL Is COilsiuSESu very uouptiul "iietH
er the judge will ever recover his
strength sufficiently to bear the shock
of the surgeons knife.
Judge Speer's illness dates almost
from the beginning Of the investiga-
ton into his official conduct, which
was recently instigated at Washing
ton and which has created a sensa-
ton throughout the South. Worry
over the charges that had been
brought against him and the impend-
ing inquiry, it is thought, weakened
his constitution and wrecked his ner-
vous system.
Has Gastritis Attack.
Several weeks ago he suffered an
acute attack of gastritis, which pros
trated him, and later his illness be-
came complicated by gall stones. He
has fought vigorously against his
fate, and at times has appeared to
rally through the sheer force of will
power. However, his weakened con-
dition caused him to suffer a re-
lapse, and his condition has grown
steadily worse.
Judge Speer had hoped to attend
the investigation into his official con-
duct, which begins in Macon next
month, and only last Sunday declared
he would attend if he had to be taken
there on a cot. Whether, in the event
of his death, the investigation will be
abandoned, is not known, but 1t Is
rumored here that members of his
family will insist that it be carried
on as though he were alive, with the
view of clearing his name of all sus-
picion.

Clemson Grads Sing
Alma Matters Glory
Two Score Alumni Attend Banquet
at University Club--Henry
TiiIman Speaks.

The glory of Clemson College, past
and present, and the promise of Glenn
sons future was talked and sung by
the Clemson alumni of Atlanta at their
annual banquet at the University
Club Saturday night. The days of
Hero" Maxwell, Terrible" Furtrick
and other of the gridiron giants were
recalled, and Clemson spirit was at
the highest pitch.
The alumni were disappointed be-
cause of the enforced absence of the
prominent South Carolinans who were
billed to speak. There was Senator
Ben Tillman, w. NJ. Riggs, president
of Clemson College, and DR.. Calhoun
one Of the beloved faculty members,
all of whom sent kilograms telling
that they could not be present. How
ever, Senator Tillman's son, Henry
Tillman, was present. and talked OF
Clemson with the rest of the alumni:
Practically every man of the 30 or 40
who were present made speech In
the course of the evening.
W. M. Rosborough, president of the
Clemson Alumni Association of Allan
ia, was POSTMASTER.

Mr.. Arnold declared vehemently
that in Kieff, Russia, there is going on
to-day a trial that offers the only
parallel to the Frank case n recent
years-the trial of Mendel Bells, a
Jew, for the alleged ritual murder
of Russian boy. The resemblance
between the Frank and Bells cases,
he declared, is remarkable.
Mr.. Arnold, dwelling on the time
element which played so large a part
in the trial, said the States witness

Arnold accused Solicitor Dor
sey of Wrapping and distorting OF
evidence that was before the
court and also of introducing
statements for which there was
no warrant in the testimony of
any witness who had appeared
on the stand.
To aggravate this offense he
charged that Dorsey employed lille
gal and inquisitorial methods to wiring
the sort of affidavits he wanted from
ignorant persons, like the negro Wo-
man. Minola Mcknight.
Arnold discussed every phase OF
the evidence, branding Jim Conleys
story as a monstrous and grotesque
fabrication inspired by the detectives
and pointing TO the negro as the real
murderer
Calls Verdict Initiated.
On the fact that a wild demonstra-
lion took place outside the court
room before the polling of the jury
was completed, he argued that the
verdict was vitiated under the law OF
he State of Georgia and that new
rial would have to be granted even
were there no other grounds to be
considered. He cited Georgia Su
preme Court decisions to uphold his
contention.
1t is unlikely that Attorney Arnold
will conclude much before the noon
hour Monday. Solicitor Dorsey i'm
nediately will take up the argument
for the State in an effort to riddle
the contentious set up by the rival
attorney. Dorsey's address will not
be finished before Tuesday, The mo-
lion will be given to Judge Roam foI
decision that night.
Mr.. Rosser late Saturday afternoon
denied the report that a new trial, If
granted by Judge Roam, could not be
held in Fulton County, and that Hugh
Dorsey could not act as prosecutor
because charges of prejudice formed
the basis of the application for a new
hearing.
Expect Change Of Venue Plea.
He stated that the scene OF an
other trial would depend entirely upon
the ruling made by the judge when
an application was made for a change
NJ venue, should one be made. Should
ne trial judge refuse the application
the trial would have to be held in
Fulton County, and of course there
could be no change of venue without
an application.
1t is generally believed that If g
new trial is granted a change of venue
will be asked for. This opinion is
based largely on statement made by
Attorney Arnold during his argument
when he declared that If the States
case is as strong as it is supposed tc
be, no harm could result from new
rial where the surroundings are bet
Ter and where the chances to get JUS
lice are better"
Attorney Rosser. whose argument
will bring the legal battle to a close
$ expected to devote the greater por-
lion of his speech to the charges OF
bias and prejudice brought against
Jurors Henslee and Johenning.

Stokes Says Jersey Coast
Resorts Have Made State
Famous Throughout World

LONG BRANCH, Oct. 29.-Speaking
here last night in connection with the
development of New Jersey, former
Governor Stokes said in part:
"The Jersey sea coast and bath 6
beaches are a source of health, rec
reation and prosperity. They are I'M
equaled throughout the world. The
New Jersey handbook in '33 mention
ed Long Branch, Mays Landing,
Somer's Point, Toms River and Cape
May as recognized resorts of the
State, and the writer said that the
beach, now the site of Atlantic City,
was a sand waste, where no one would
think Of building a city, and no one
would go If they did. To-day We have
over seventy well recognized resorts,
known throughout the State and
many of them recognized throughout
the world. They attract hither the
greatest statesmen, scientists, edu-
Gators, churchmen and the best that
art and science can produce. We
have now almost a continuous line of
cities along our coast. Some day a
continental highway, beginning on the
New Jersey sea coast, will connect
us with the Pacific Ocean. A proper
development of this wonderful Jersey
resource should have the encourage
ment of the State.
If elected Governor, l propose to
make our boards of trade and COM
mercial bodies, so far as possible, a
part of the State administration"
