DEATHS CHARGED TO TWO
CORONER'S JURY BLAMES HOGG
AND WILLIAMS.
Jim Hogg Has Surrendered to Sherlfl
and Williams is Said to
Await Arrest.

Barnwell, Sept. 16.-That Henry
Hogg and ]. V. Hogs came to their
death from gunshot wounds inflicted
by J. w. Hogg and w. A. Williams is
the verdict of a coroner's jury hold
ing an inquest at Kline this morning,
following the killing of the two
brothers there last night. Jim Hogg,
who was himself shot with birdshot
in the shoulder, neck and back of the
head by a young brother of the slain
men, came to Barnwell about 3 o'clock
this morning and surrendered to the
authorities.
Williams, for whom a warrant has
been sworn out, is expected here to-
night to give himself up.
The fatal shot was fired from a
window in the negro waiting waiting
room of the Kline depot.
It is said the shooting grew out OF
an old grudge between the two broth
ers on the one-hand and their cousin
on the other. Previous to the shoot
ing last night the opposing factions
were heard speaking in heated terms
and using unprintable words. When
young John Hogg, brother OF the
slain men, went into their store and
told them that they were being way
laid the three went out into the street
each armed with a shotgun. They
had hardly left their door, according
to the testimony, when a shot was
fired from a window in the depot.
Henry Hogg exclaimed "Oh Lord
Velpo We are shot"
Seeing a man dart from the door
of the depot, John Hogg fired the
shotgun that he was carrying, the
load taking effect, as stated above, in
Jim Hogg's back.
The two wounded brothers stag
gered back to their store, Velpo fall
ing across the threshold. Henry
walked inside and sat down on box,
pitching forward almost Immediately
on his face beside the already dead
body of his brother. It was thus that
they were found by their friends.
Neither of them lived longer than five
or ten minutes. Each was shot in the
breast, Henry, it is said, being hit
with about 80 shots, while Velpo car
ried some Is wounds.
Jim Hogg is not seriously wound
ed, the shot being too small and the
gun having been fired at too great a

WOMAN GETS LIFE SENTENCE.
Georgia Woman Convicted of Double
Murder-Calm as Stole.

Millen, Ca, Sept. 13.-Mrs. Edna
Perkins Godbee> to-day was found
guilty of the murder of Mrs. Florence
Godbee, wife of her divorced hus-
hand. Mercy was recommended by
the jury. The verdict was returned
at $40 this morning after the jury
had been out thirteen hours.
Mrs. Florence Godbee and her hus-
band, W. S. Godbee, prominentresi-
dent of this place, were shot to death
by the convicted woman on August
IS. The killing occurred at the Mil
len postoffice. Mrs. Godbee was i'm
mediately arrested and on Sept. 9
was indicted for the two murders.
Her trial for killing Mrs. Godbee
was called Thursday. Only a small
number of witnesses were examined,
their testimony dealing with details
of the crime. The accused woman
took the stand and told of alleged
mistreatment by ". S. Godbee.
Two minutes after the jury re-
turned it's verdict Judge Hammond
sentenced Mrs. Godbee to remain in
the penitentiary the rest of her
natural life She stood while SEN
tence was pronounced. Her daughter,
Sarah, broke down and wept audibly,
but she was as calm and stole as she
had been through the trial.
The case has excited the keenest
interest throughout the State. Mrs.
Godbee claimed as a defense that she
had long been mistreated by her hus-
band before and since his divorce,
and that he applied a vile epithet to
her as he entered the postoffice on
the fatal morning. Her excuse for
killing the Judges wife was that af-
ter she began shooting she was so
excited she did not know what she
did. The dead woman was from Will
Transport, Pa.
The defense is expected to apply
for a new trial at once, and if this is
denied to appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court.

BROTHERS Buried in Same Grave.

Brothers Buried in Same Grave.
Allendale, Sept. 16.-The coroner
held an inquest today over the bodies
of Velpo and Henry Hogg, who were
shot and almost instantly killed near
their store at Kline last night at 9
o'clock. The verdict of the coroner's
jury was that the two men came to
their death from gunshot wounds in
ficted by Jim Hogg and Aiken Will
liams.
John Hogg, a brother of the slain
men, is said to have shot at two men
fleeing from the waiting room of the
depot Immediately after the shooting,
putting AZ birdshot in the neck and
back of Jim Hogg, a cousin. Bad
blood is said to have existed between
the participants in the affair since a
fight some time ago. A beating is said
to have been inflicted on brother-ln-
law of Jim Hogg by one of the dead
men.
Jim Hogg surrendered to Sheriff
Morris and is now in the Barnwell
county Jail. Unless complications
arise his wounds are not believed to
be serious. Aiken Williams is said to
have expressed a willingness to sur
render.
The dead brothers were buried at
Cave church late today in the pres
ence of a large assembly. The two
we're inferred in a single grave.

which has been for the most part
Cuiescent since the memorable fight

The executive committee has start
ed the fight in the same way that the
red light fight was started-lby the
issuance of a bulletin in advertise
ment form. The main paragraph OF
this bulletin says:
When your city, your county, your
state, licenses, that it sells for mon
ey consideration, the privilege OF
brewing beer and distiliing spirits,
and the right to sell these poisons
you become a party to the act of the
drunken negro, the liquor-crazed

then stand between Frank and the
execution of the sentence would re
Iossible executive clemency.
While no living soul ventures to
predict or even suggest what the 81,
preme courts decision may be, there
is a general feeling that there viii
hardly be any middle course in the
final disposition of the Frank case
The nature of the case makes 1t one
in which the principal should either
go absolutely free or should be hang
ed, depending on whether he is inno-
cent or guilty. Although the lower
court has confirmed Franks guilt, the
igher court has still to pass on it and
It is therefore in that sense an open
question, but If Frank is finally de
ermined guilty by all courts which
have jurisdiction, the case is one the
nature of which will in all reasonable
reliability prevent any governor
from interfering.
