PLEAD SELF
DEFENSE
Court Admits Confession Over
Protest Of Prisoners Counsel.
County Treasurer Recites 1t.

GRAYS, Oct. 24.-When the trial OF
Nick Wilburn. charged with the MUIR
der of James King, was resumed this
morning, a marked change in the po-
sition of the defense was predicted
Attorney John R. Cooper suggested
that he would probably plead self
defense for his client, bringing out
this feature in Wilburn's own story
The first witnesses summoned by the
defense were some of the men who
testified yesterday for the State.
A stubborn effort was made BY the
defense yesterday afternoon to keep
from the jury the confession made by
Wilburn on the night of his arrest,
while he was being hurried through
the woods to Macon to escape mob
violence last December, 1t was ar
gued by Attorney Cooper that the
confession was wrung from the de-
PENDANT by threats and intimidation.
Judge Park allowed the confession to
go to the jury, as it was related by
County Treasurer Etheridse.
Confession to Etheridge.
Mr.. Etheridge said; .-.r.sx.,.s
when Nick offered to maHst N s
confession ! asked him IL what he had
to say was voluntary. and he told me
il was of his, own free will, and that
he had been wanting to tell 1t all day.
! offered him no inducement or hope
of reward.
He told US that Mrs King was the
cause OF it all. | asked him how.
and he repeated that in March, 1912
Mrs. King called him into the kitchen
and threw her arms around his neck
and Rugged and kissed him, and from
that time on they became intimate.
Later, she wanted him to Kill her
husband, he said. Wilburn told us
that Mrs. King had suggested that he
either put poison in sore whisky or
shoot him some time while he was out
hunting. Wilburn said that on the
day OF the killing he went to the
house, and finding Mrs. King there,
asked where Mr.. King was. and Mrs.
King told him her husband had gone
to the woods 10 shoot birds, Wilburn
said he replied Now is my time and,
said he. Mrs. King replied, Tt is up
to you
Finds King in Woods.
'Wilburn said he followed King
into the woods, finally locating him
by his shooting. When met up with
him and began talking with him, Mr.,
King handed me his gun, and walked
away a few feet Wilburn said, and

We will show you that there was

fgy Gable TO The Tribune !

London, oct. 4.-Indications are that
the short season this year will be prin-
cipalIy remarkable for the number Of
marriage engagements broken. In the
last week the breaking of eight en-
gagements has been announced. They
are those OF Edward l.. Costing ana

Of Captain the Hon. +. Forester ana

Mcdonald and the Hon. Alma Stopford,
Of the Hon. Humphrey Adderley and
Miss Beatrice Moore and of Jeremiah
Colman and Miss Gertrude Pavitt.
The Fraser Palmer engagement was
announced in July, and was broken
only a week before the date set for the
ceremony. Other engagements recently
broken are those Of Selwyn Grier and
Miss Phyllis Jameson and Of Captain
w. Green and Miss Lesley Hannaford.
A we'll known psychologist, asked for
the reason why so many engagements
were broken at this time. said: Spring
is the time for love and for the making
Of engagements. 1t is the psychology
cal moment of the quickening Of uni
versal life, the result of an overplus OF
vitality. Hence the general friendli-
ness of families and plans for the
future and engagements. The end Of
the summer and the change of season
finds a state OF lower vitality, and
consequent depression and irritabilty.
which are quite likely to cause the
breaking of engagements.
THE great number OF broken en-
eagements this year is certainly start

DR.. Woods thinks America Will soon
be far ahead of Europe. for the reason
that the average intelligence OF the
American is so much higher than that
Of the European. In America the IN
terest. attention and determination IN
all classes for improvement is highly
aroused, while in Europe a few intelh-
gent people OF the ruling classes are
trying to force their ideas on the coun-
try and the government.
DR.. Woods thinks America has little
to learn from Europe on the subject OF
model homes and gardens. He says
England has two or three garden SUD-
urbs of great beauty. but 1t takes con-
slant and minute police supervision 10
keep them in order and prevent over
crowdlng, while America knows equally
as much about planning towns, and in
stead of overcrowding moves TO new
site and lays out a new town when ire
first is fully peopled. In short, says
DR.. Woods. America is far ahead IN
town planning.

DIR. HUTCHINSON SAYS EUROPE
LEADS IN GUARDING HEALTH
Her Methods Superior Now,
but We Will Probably Be
Far in Advance of Her
Before Long
fBy Gable 10 The Tribune. !

London, Oct. Woods Hutchinson,
the American physician. speaks In
London on Monday night. under the
auspices OF the National Council on
Morals, on Human Misfits," telling
England what America is doing to-day
10 care for the mentally and physically
deficient and for human derelicts
DR.. Hutchinson has been touring the
Continent and England since April
studying European methods OF disease
prevention; but this is the only ad-
dress he will deliver, and by special re-
quest he has delayed his sailing for
home for ten days in order to explain
American methods to the English. He
will sail on october :.
DR.. Hutchinson thinks the problem
OF caring for the insists is far more I'M
portant and difficult in England and on
the Continent than in America. This
is largely due 10 the immigration TO
America, which has led to the uncon-
scious selection of sending the best
men TO the New World, leaving the old
and deficient on this side of the water.
At the same time he thinks from his
extensive study, both OF the cities ana
the country districts, that the attention
OF the students OF preventive medicine
will soon have to be turned from the
cities TO the country villages. as now
adays the English villages. especially,
contain a remarkable number OF hu-
man misfits. This. again, Is due to
the unconscious selection which sends
the best men TO the cities.
In general, DR.. Wods thinks the
European methods Of preventive medi-
cine are in advance of American meth
DDS. He accounts for this by the fact
that in the European countries one CEN
trail government is in control or the
work, while in America each state, and,
in fact, each city, exercises control,
with the consequence that the work Is
very diverse and irregular, both In
method and efficiency.
He was especially impressed in Italy
by the efficiency with which the recent
threatened cholera epidemic was
stamped out before 1t got start, there
being only nine fully developed cases.
