MRS. FIELDS TELLS HOW
NEGRO SHOT HER IN BED
DR. Fields Says That Further Statements Are Made Correct
Erroneous Impressions Which Have Been Brought His
Attention-Mrs Fields Parents Are Now With Her

1T was rather late when we retired and
had been asleep only a short time, it
seemed, when I was aroused by slight
noise.
My first thought was that some of the
Goals had fallen from the CRATE, but just
at that moment there was a slight flare
from the fire as IL piece of paper had
been dropped Oh the Goals. and l saw
negro standing near the fire. / started to
rise up on one elbow and lust at that in
stant the negor fired. dropped back and
said, L am shot The sound of the fire
arm awakened DIR. Fields. who was
sleeping by my side. His first move after
realizing what had happened was to look
after my wound and call Miss Ingram.
who was sleeping in the adjoining room.
Our 12-year-old son, Bige who was steep
ing in bed adjoining ours, saw the negro
as he walked out of the room. He did not
seem to be particularly hurried in his
movements but walked out very deliber-
ately. Miss Ingram heard the noise he
made going out the front door.
II could not positively Identify the in
truder, but he was very simliar In ap-
pearance and build to Lee Galley, our
chauffeur. Galley had heard me say last
Tuesday that DIR. Fields had presented
me with s. gold piece to be used for an
ornament which I had hid and could not
find. and that | had $50 which should be
deposited in the bank If L could find
time
Mrs. Fields seemed to be suffering con-
siderably during her lengthy statement
but at a suggestion from the reporter
that she stop and rest insisted that she
felt able to continue.
While not out of danger. there is rea-
son to believe that serious results will not
follow. Col. and Mrs. M. X. Clements of
Athens. parents of Mrs. Fields are at
the bedside and will remain until the pa
tient is out of danger.

The following statements were made
yesterday by DR.. E. T. Fields and Mrs
Fields in reference to the shooting OF the
latter early Friday morning. The state
ments were made to an Age-Herald rep
resentative at the home of Dr. Fields. and
that of Mrs. Fields is the first detailed
STORY of the affair given by her. That of
DIR. Fields is self explanatory, and is as
follows:
.sCertain erroneous Impressions which
seem to prevail in regard to the shooting
of Mrs Fields having been. called to my
attention, it is my desire to correct the
same. These reports evidently have
gained credence to some extent from the
fact that statements were made in some
of the papers and discussed by the public
To the effect that Mrs. Fields had been
unconscious and unable to tell the detec-
tives and reporters what she knew of the
shooting. Mrs. Fields has not been un-
conscious at any time since the affair and
has been perfectly rational at all times.
I'm order that the public may be fully
informed of all that my wife knows of
the crime, 1 asked The Age-Herald rep
resentative to call at my home and let
Mrs. Fields give a full account In her own
words. This was done and her statement
will appear with mine"
The account of the shooting as given by
Mrs. Fields was as follows
"On Thursday night DIR. Fields and my
self visited the moving picture shows. On
our arrival at home we sat in the dining
room a short while before retiring. A
newspaper which we had been reading
was left lying on the floor and DR.. Fields
pistol remained on the mantel IN the din
ing room, where 1t had been placed earlier
in the evening.

BINGHA MTON. n. Y, July 26~--
That conditions at the Binghamton

flames shot up the elevator shaft. and
that If 1t had not been for the girls
limbs getting wedeed in the IRON

fell. many more might have been
saved.

partment of labor. who resides at No.
gs Warren street, this city. said that
better Are protection except in relas
ton TO FIRE escapes and that he had
never ordered fire equipment for the
factory. such as chemical extinguishers,
automatic sprinklers or hose. He said
that when employed by the company
he knew of times when as many as
thirty bags OF cloth scraps and sweep
ings were allowed to remain at the
west Sine OF the elevator E0att.
Mrs Mary whitney said there was
great big barrel of oil which she
said rested near the elevator. The
girls. Mrs whitney said. were in the
custom OF f1ling their individual cans
of oil from this barrel but she could
not say whether there was any oil

ALBANY. N Y, July 2S,-Gov-
ernor Sulzer tonight declared that
Lieutenant Governor Giynn, in the
expectation that he would become the
governor of the State through the
Impeachment of Governor Sulzer, was
suffering from ego mania Gov
ernor Suzer made this declaration
through his secretary, Chester c.

that MIR. Glynn was too shrewd to
have "any direct connection with the
high handed scheme of the legisla :
tive session Wednesday night" and
adds even the violently insane often
show great shrewdness.
"Mr. Glynn's furious denial of an
offensA of which ne had not been
charged leads me to ask why he re-
NAMED away from the session of
Wednesday evening. when II was his
duty to he present. He can attend
with less Inconvenience than can most
of the other members. Did he mis-
trust that seventeen senator's were to
conspire 10 pass bills for which an at
tendance of twentysix. all voting in

give the names OF twenty-eight sena-
