BRUTAL ACTS
CHARGED To
FARMER
|. A. Kennedy Taken From Wife's
Bedside to Jail at SWANS
boro, Ga.

. l.
A. Kennedy, shot by her husband, a
prominent Emanuel County farmer,
was reported dying to-day Kennedy
is in Jail here awaiting the outcome
of his wife's wounds. A large crowd
has gathered at the Kennedy home
awaiting news of Mrs; Kennedy's con-
dition. She has made dying state
ment accusing her husband.
Kennedy, before shooting his wife,
brutally beat her with a horse whip
and the butt of a shotgun. She
pleaded with him to spare her for her
children, and when he refused, made
a desperate fight. After struggling
fully fifteen minutes. Kennedy beat
her down with the gun and as she
fell fired a load OF buckshot into her
back, which tore through her body.
He then carried her into the house.
Arrested at Bedside.
Not until late Sunday did the par
ticulars of the shooting come out.
Kennedy was then arrested. He was
at his wifes bedside and pleaded
with the officers to let him stay with
her until the end. His request was
refused.
1t is said that Kennedy was in
drunken stupor when he shot Mrs.
Kennedy. The quarrel followed the
running down of one of the Kennedy
children by the father, who came
home late Saturday from town, driY-
ing horse to a small buggy. After
running over the boy, the father left
him lying in the road.
Hearing the childs screams, Mrs
Kennedy rushed to the scene. Ken
needy abused her. She resented and
he climbed from the rig, with whip
in hand, in threatening attitude. He
struck at her and she ran into
nearby cotton field, he following.
Beats Her as She FIees.
Across the field Kennedy followed
his wife, striking vicious blows all
the while with the buggy whip. Mrs
kennedy's body was covered with cuts
and whelts. and people who saw the
whip say it was worn thin.
The woman managed to get away
from her husband and went back TO
the road where her boy lay injured,
a short distance from the house. The
other three Kennedy children were
near their injured brother.
Picking UP the injured boy, Mrs.
Kennedy proceeded with the other
children to the house. Kennedy was
standing at the front door, a shotgun
IN his hands and a vicious grin on
his face. He started toward her and
at the front gate. 80 feet from the
door, they met.
Put down that boy" ordered Ken
nedy.
Kennedy Shoots Wife.
The wife refused. AS he neared
her she dropped the boy and, throw
ing her arms around Kennedys
neck, pleaded with him not to kill
her. He hit her with the gun. throw
'ng her from him. Mrs. Kennedy
made another bound at him, again
;atching him about the neck. They
struggled about the yard and neared
The porch. Upon the veranda they
went, she fighting desperately.
On the corner of the porch he sue
ceeded in knocking her down and
as she fell fired the load of buckshot
INTO her back. Mrs. Kennedy's head
struck pillar on the corner of the
porch.
Kennedy then picked her up and
carried her into the house The chill
dren who witnessed the attack ran

TO Swainsboro. Officers were sent to

FEAR RIOTS
0vERF|ASCO
ELECTION
Huerta to Remain in Power in
Mexico, Voting Having Failed
Failed to Name Successor.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27.-This city
took on the appearance of an armed
camp to-day as returns from scat
tered elections districts made it GER
tain that no candidate had received a
Presidential contest. Although no dis
orders attended the balloting here
Sunday and there was no disturbance
during the night, troops were brought
into the city at dawn to prevent riots
upon PRONUNCIATION of official an
nouncement from the Government
that the balloting had resulted in mo
election"
More than 1000 troops were moved
into the city during the early morn
ing. Fear of an outbreak of vio<
lence was increased by the receipt of
dispatches from Vera Cruz, stating
that Felix Diaz would leave there
during the day and come to the Capt.
tai.
/ The result of the. election means
that Victorfano Huerta will remain in
office as President. In the returns
that have been received thus far
FREDERICK Gamboa. former Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, and Felix Diaz, are
running close race, but because OF
votes cast for other candidates, nei-
Their one of these men will have a
majority.
Less Than Legal Total Vote.
The number of votes cast is also
less than one third of the total voting
strength of the Republic, which is
required by the constitution to make
an election legal
Elections Of Senators and Deputies,
however, is not hampered by this
constitutional provision, and it is GER
tain that the Catholic party, headed
by Gamboa and supported by Huerta,
will have control in the Congress.
This assures Huerta full control in
stead of the legislative revolt which
continually threatened in the last
Congress, controlled by Maderistas.
Thus, the outstanding feature of
the election is the fact that it has
only strengthened Huerta in his posi-
ton as dictator.
That Huerta had no doubt that the
election would fail was borne out by
his decree increasing the strength of
the Mexican army from $4,000 to
10000. This sudden increase of the
army to almost double it's present
size, when the Government is short of
funds and loans seem unattainable,
gives the general impression that
Huerta is either preparing for for
eign war or expects new uprisings,
possibly as result of the election
fiasco. The decree says that the army
is to be increased Immediately, as II
there were urgent necessity for such
action.
Few Ballots Cast.
Predictions that the election would
be a farce were fully borne out by
the scenes at the polls on Sunday
In some precincts not a vote was
cast, and latest figures indicate that
not over four thousand were cast for
all the candidates in the Federal Dis
trict, tlthough there are $4,000 regis
tered voters in that section of the
Republic alone.
