then the Curtis Publishing company,
instead OF charging all readers of the

OF course it would be silly and I'M

Atlanta, Sept 1.-THE celebrated
Crawford will case in the Atlanta
courts has taken new turn, Mrs.
Crawford's counsel having demanded
an immediate trial on the murder ev-
idence recently introduced. Burton

Smith, represents Mrs. Crawford, and
today he demanded of the solicitor
general that this phase of the case be
taken up by the grand jury this week.
The charge that Mrs. Crawford pois-
oned her aged husband grew out Of
the litigation for his 100000 estate,
his natural heirs contesting the wild
ow's claim.
Colonel J. s. James, counsel for
the family, declares he has new evil
dence to establish the charge or MUIR
der against Mrs. Crawford. A number
OF medical experts will be called into
the case, including DIR. H. F. Harris
who testified in the Frank case for
the state.
