HEADS ALL
DENY TRAILING
BEAVERS
Commissioners Brand as False
the Charge That They Fol-
lowed the Chief.

The police commissioners named by
Alderman John : Gambler in an inter-
view in which he declared minister
had handed him a list of the board
members who ''trailed" Chief Of Police
Beavers last Sunday on his moving
picture inspection trip to-day, united in
a denial of the charge.
Chief of Police Beavers also declared
he knew nothing Of being "traled."
One of the commissioners in denying
the report, branded Gamblers informant
as telling deliberate falsehood."
Vernoy Denies 1t.
W. A Vernoy. commissioner from
the Third ward, denied visor-
ously that he traiIed or attempted to
trail Chief Beavers. He said:
Il am willing to leave the matter to
Chief Beavers as to whether or not !
followed him on his round of motion
picture shows on Sunday. The asser-
ton that did so is untrue
Judge John Gambler told me yester-
day that his informant did not mention
my name nor the name of the man with
me Sunday in connection with the
charge that the chief had been fol-
lowed. Alderman Gambler said that
my name would not be used in cOnnec-
ton with the charges.
To See Gambler.
There is some mistake about this
matter. I expect to have conference
with Judge Gambler when he returns,
and I expect to demand the name OF his
informant and to know how / was con-
nected with this matter
Commissioner A. r. King declared
that any one who charged him with
trailing" the chief of police told a de
Eberate falsehood"
'T was on the streets last Sunday
evening. as any other citizen, but en-
phatically deny that l trailed Chief
Beavers Judge Gambler in an effort to
put forth his charge, hides behind a
minister's cloak and fails to set up the
name of his informer.
TN order that my friends may not
misconstrue my appearance on the
streets Sunday, make this denial, and
say that the accuser, whoever he may
be- tells an infamous falsehood, and
suggest that Judge Gambler be more
careful in making charges from second
airy evidence, which he can not sub
stantiate. and come out from under
cover. name his informer and prove the
charge"
All the commissioners admitted they
were on the street Sunday afternoon,
but denied that they were trailing the
chief Denying the charge. Chairman
Mason said:
Alderman Gambler should be careful
to get his facts straight. Why doesn't
he give the name of the preacher who
furnished him the information

power to do so.
MIR. McKenna, continuing, told
how one woman in prison sponeed
herself all over with hot water and
remained uncovered all night in the
hope of catching her death of cold.
Others pretended to take their food,
but surrepttiously starved them
selves so as to become exhausted
and die in prison, Some had vol

Sir Arthur Markham a Liberal mem

WIFE Of SLAYER
To TESTIFY To
CLEAR NAME
Mrs. 0arden Will Deny Serious
Charges Made Against Her
by Husband.

Mrs. Elmer 7. Darden- of Kirkwood,
whose husband will plead the ''unwrit
ten law when arraigned for the staying
Of c. VI. Goddard, of Redan, win go on
the stand in the trial as a witness for
the prosecution to clear her name"
She can not. OF course, testify for or
against her husband, bat her evidence
will be against Darden's defense.
This was announced to-day, follow
ing a conference between Mrs Darden
and detectives to whom she expressed
a desire to be allowed to testify and
publicly denounce the effort Of her
husband to assassinate her character
Mrs Darden branded as absolutely false
in every detail the story of her husband
that Goddard had alienated her affec-
ton and had wrecked the Darden home
MY husband killed MI Goddar for
no cause whatever" Mrs. Darden told
the officers.
And then she added:
Absolutely Rfameless.
Il defy any person in this world to
show that I have been guilty OF i'm
proper relations with Mr.. Goddard Or
any other man Oh. it's all the most
infamous story ever told on a poor
woman. It's awful to think that my
husband has so cruelty misrepresented
and stabbed me in this way to ssve
himself from punishment for his bloody
deed.
Il want to tell the whole world it's an
a base faIsehood."
Detectives said that while We law
does not permit a wife to testify either
for or against her husband, Mrs. Oar
den could go on the stand and densnd
herself against attacks on her charac-
ter.
II was learned today that Policeman
Phillips, a KirEwood officer. VIII also
be introduced by the state to show that
on several occasions he had to run
Darden away from the Kirl1wood home
when he is alleged to have gone there
in a drunken condition and abused his
wife
Officer Phillips and others it is said
will testify that Goddard was never
seen about the Darden home at all.
No Date With Woman.
Detectives said it will be shown that
Goddard cameato Atlanta with a friend
on the day of the tragedy and that he
! had no appointment of any kind with
Mrs Darden.
Mrs. Darden told the detectives that
before the family moved trom Redan to
Kirkwood Darden would frequently
come to Atlanta, buy quantity Of
whisky. and return to his home on a
spree that would last until all Of the
whisky was gone.
The Goddard family lived in Redan
at the time. and Chief of Detectives
Lanford said today that it would be
shown that the Goddards had frequent
ly taken Darden into their home and
cared for him when he was drunk and
unable to get to his own home.
He said also that Mrs. Goddard,
mother of the slain man, on one ocoa-
sion about q year ago, shortly before
her husband died, gave Darden her last
five dollar BIN to aid him in time OF
need.
The grand jury will probably iudict
Darden at the session to- morrow.
