CRAWFORD'S
DEATH IS
LAID To
WIFE
Coroner's Jury Holds Capitalist
Was Slain by Poisoning.
Recommends Inquiry.

The arrest Of Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford on the charge of poisoning
j. B. Crawford was recommended by
a verdict of the Coroner of Carroll
County. read at the hearing in the
famous will case before ]. N. Ander-
son. auditor.
The verdict was:
We, the jury, find that the de-
ceased cane to his death from
poison administered by Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford, and recommend
that she be held for investioation
oy the Fulton Grand Jury.
The inquest was held Thursday in
Carrollton. 1t was an adjourned SEES
sion Of the first inquest on June IL.
when the body was exhumed. DR.. H.
F. Harris, OF the State Board OF
Health, and Miss Viola Whitman. a
woman who lived with the Crawfords
after the marriage, were the wit
nesses.
DR.. Harris testified to finding NOR
phine in the stomach, and that in his
opinion Crawford did not die Of pneu-
monia or any disease of the lungs.
Saw Medicine Given.
Miss Whitman testified to seeing
Mrs. Crawford give her husband med
icine from a small vial.
Attorneys for Mrs. Crawford al
lowed the verdict to be submitted as
evidence, but stated to the auditor
that they would later file an objec-
ton on the grounds of the inquest
not having been legal. They stoutiy
maintained that before the hearing
ends they VIII introduce positive EVIL
Gence that Crawford died of pneumo-
MIA, and that the morphine found in
his stomach was administered by his
family physician.
]. S. James, attorney for the heirs
atlaw stated he. in all probability,
would start action along the line out
lined in the recommendation of the
Coroner's jury, but that he had not
yet determined how soon he would
do So
That the testimony of DR.. H. F.
Harris would be torn to shreds
by the introduction of DR.. J. w. Hurt.
Crawford's physician, was the decla-
ration of Attorney Reuben Arnold.
Doctor Gave Drugs.
DR.. Hurt will testify, according to
Attorney Arnold, that for several days
before the death Of Mr. Crawford
he gave him small quantities of NOR
phine TO allay his suffering. and that
1t was unquestionably traces Of the
drug he administered found in the
stomach when the body was exhumed
last month. More than ten Of the
most prominent medical experts will
be placed on the stand to substan-
tiate the testimony Of DIR. Hurt.
Colonel James announced that
he would introduce no more
witnesses on the poisoning the
DRY, except statements from citizens
in Florida, who. according to Colonel
James, say that before she married
Crawford Mrs. Crawford was heard
TO make damaging statements to a
friend.
. Colonel James said he would intro
duce testimony with a view to hav-
ing the marriage annulled. and thus
have the property re-
vert to the heirs-at-law. He said he
would show that Mrs. Crawford was
illegally divorced twice before she
married Crawford.
The case before an auditor will not
be concluded for more than two weeks
and it then will go to the Superior
Court again.

MINCEY'S STORY
JOLTS POLICE
To ACTIVITY
Steps Taken Immediately to Dis
credit Affidavit Published Ex-
cIusiveIy in The Georgian.

The Georgians exclusive publica-
tion of the sensational details of the
w. H. Mincey affidavit. in which Jim
Conley was alleged to have con-
fessed to the killing of a girl the
afternoon that Mary Phagan was
slain. created a big stir Friday in po-
lice circles and immediate efforts
were made to discredit the accusa-
tions against the negro.
Detectives set out at once on a
still hunt for Mincey. Lines were
thrown out to produce witnesses who
would swear that Mincey's word was
not to be depended upon The de-
tective force, which virtually had
been resting on its oars in the Pha-
gan case for several weeks. was gall
vanized into action by the startling
charges made in the affidavit of Min
cey, which was first made public by
The Georgian.
Police Deny Being Told.
Interviews with the detective heads
brought denials that Mincey ever had
told them the story that was print
ed in The Georgian Attorneys for
the defense, however, corroborated
the published details of the afIida-
Wit.
1T is correct in every detail" said
one Of the lawyers 1T was not the
intention to make any Of our impor-
tant evidence public, but now that
Minceys story has found its way into
print, there is nothing TO do but ad
NIT that we have the affidavit and
that it makes the assertions which
The Georgian printed yesterday.
1T is only natural that an attempt
will be made to discredit Mincey's
story. But we are assured of its
truth and are confident that it will
stand the test of all the investigation
that can be made"

can Insurance Company, by whom

BRING STEEL WORKS HERE.

With the arrival of Charles NJ. Schwab in
this country after several months spent abroad,
comes the definite announcement that be has
secured control Of valuable iron ore properties
in Chile. He proposes, upon the completion of
the Panama canal, to run a line Of steamers
from thfis mining district in South America to
this country, for his Bethlehem Steel Works,
located at Bethlehem, Pa.
Mr.. Schwab says that the addition of this
Chilean ore to the Bethlehem company will in
crease its output about sixty per cent, and to
provide for this, additions to the plant to the
value of 100000 600 will be made.
All this is of particular Importance to Perth
Amboy because as the Bethlehem Steel Works
are located on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
Perth Amboy is the logical port for this new
line of steamers to dock for the transfer Of the
ore from the vessels by railroad to the steel
plant.
But we would go further than this and ask
why should the ore, after being brought all the
way from Chile by steamer, be transferred by
cars and hauled over the Pennsylvania noun
tains to Bethlehem? Why should not this
100000 that has been appropriated for the
enlargement Of the plant at Bethlehem, be
spent in building a new steel works here at
Perth Amboy, where the steamers can unload
the ore direct into the steel plantl We believe
that the matter is worth taking up with Mr..
SchWab.

BANK CLERK GOES WRONG.

A bank clerk has just been arrested in New
York on the charge of forgery. lie is accused
of classifying books of the bank covering up a
shortage of 5000. 1t is declared that there
may be other shortage not yet discovered.
This clerk was summoned before his superb
ors and, after an hours interview, was hur-
ried off to police headquarters and locked up.
His wife was then called on the phone by a
court officer and notified that her husband was
under arrest.
The interesting fact in this connection is
that this bank clerk had been working for
the same financial institution for several
years, yet at the time of his arrest he was re
ceiving the munificent sum of S15 per week
as a salary. On this he was supposed to sup
port a wife and one child.
Here is a man surrounded every day by
thousands of dollars; his superiors living in
great luxury, yet he working hard at a re-
sponsible position at $15 a week. Doubtless,
the temptation was more than he could stand.
The question arises, who is to blame for his
downfall? The banking officials who ruthless
ly rush him off to jail while his wife faints at
the phone when informed of her husbands
arrest, evidently assume no responsibility.
Had they been willing to pay him a salary in
proportion to the responsibility of his position,
it is very likely that such disgrace would not
have befallen him.

THIS BILL SHOULD PASS.

One Of the bills introduced into the legisla-
ture that may seem insignificant in itself, but
which is of very great Importance, is the meas
ure permitting the attachment of a mans
wages to pay his bills. Not a few merchants
in this city can testify to the annual loss they
have to contend with through men, many Of
them earning good wages, who get their gro
ceries and supplies, ON credit and then prac-
tieally defy the s~torekeeper to collect the mon
ely due them. These men own no property and
have no assets except their wages that can be
attached. The merchant is entirely at their
mercy.
There are some people who make it a prac-
tice to patronize new stores that are only too
glad to build up a trade and welcome every
customer who comes III, regardless Of what his
reputation may be, taking a chance OF eventu-
ally getting the money, and at the same time
getting other customers to follow. These
people run up a bill, sometimes for 800 or
more, before the merchant realizes that he is
being played for a good thing, Then as soon
as he begins to push them for a payment they
stop trading there and go to another store,
preferably a new one, where their trade is
given welcome.
These people, as we have said before, have
no assets. When the threat is made to tell the
delinquent's employer, the man simply smiles
and says he is ready to lose his job because he
can easily get another one. This he prefers to
do rather than pay his bill, Thus the mer-
chant is left without redress.
Should the bill which has just been intro
duced into the legislature become a law, it will
be possible for the merchant to attach a mans
wages. no matter where he is working, so that
there will be some chance of collecting the
tmoney.

BOARD OF TRADE REORGANIZATION

1T is surprising to those who are familiar
with the work done by the Board of Trade
during the past few years that it should be
suggested that the old officers be ignored in
the reorganization that is to take place to
morrow night. Men who have worked so hard
for the advancement Of the city against all
kinds of discouragements and with practically
no support on the part of the citizens, are the
men who can be depended upon to carry on the
movement that has now been so auspiciously
started.
They have proven their worth.
They did not need a "booster' campaign to
make them take an interest in Board Of Trade
work.
To them is due the credit for organizing the
campaign that has been so successfully closed.
They nave had the experience and know what
Board of Trade work in Perth Amboy really
means.
Why, then, should they be turned down at
this time when real workers are needed more
than ever?
If we might venture a guess, We would say
that we do not believe any one OF the old
members desires Office in the reorganization
that is to take place. They have surely done
their share of civic work and it was largely
because they had become weary of carrying
the entire burden themselves that they decid-
ed upon the step that has brought about the
reorganization 50 that others who are benefit
ed just as much as they by the booming of the
city, can do their share.
But is it fair to let these old officers carry
the burden so long and then ignominiously
throw them down9 AT least they should be
given an opportunity to decline to serve
again. Were it not for them there would be no
Board of Trade at all, hence no re organization
They took the initiative to put the Board OF
Trade in a lourishing condition. Who else
would have done it2
Regardless of the justice in the treatment OF
the old officers, the question is, can the re
organized board afford to ignore these veteran
workers at this time? Is not their experience
and their advice worth a great deal? They
know conditions better than anyone else and
can greatly aid the new members in keeping
the board clear of pitfalls and ~entanglements
that have wrecked so many organizations OF
this kind.
The EVENING NEWS is in hearty accord
with the idea of iafusing new blood into the
Board Of Trade. We believe that new men
will be able to accomplish much, especially
with such an organization as is now assured
behind them. But we see no reason why any
suggestion should be made to bar old officers
from active work. Perth Amboy needs the
best efforts that can be found, regardless OF
whether those efforts have been spent in build
ing up the city in the past on not. II there are
men who have been thus engaged would it MOI
be the height of folly to throw them down al
this critical time? The success or failure Of
the Board of Trade of Perth Amboy is in tn,
balance.
