tally wounded she did not blame Mrs.
Edna Godbee for shooting her-that
had she the dying woman would have
made some statement.
The silent Witness"
The state has had a good deal to
say about silent Witnesses said
Judge Saffold. Yes, there are some
silent witnesses. Where is the physi-
clan who attended Mrs. Florence
Goddess bedside? Dr.. Lane and Dr..
Thompson were only with her tenn
porarily. What were her deathbed
utterances? Why didn't the state in
troduce this in evidence? Because it
dared mott"
Judge Saffold's conclusion, after
ne had argued an hour and fifty-five
minutes and talked himself hoarse,
was dramatic.
He forged home the point that
through all the stormy married life
of Mrs. Edna Godbee and the man
she had killed her three children had
stuck to her loyalty, faithfully and
that even afteR the divorce was grant
ed and Judge Godbee had injured her
character and besmirched her good
name they still stuck TO her.
Turning from the jury box, in clos
ing his argument to where the girl
sat behind her mothers chair, Judge
Saffold exclaimed;
Sarah Godbee, you've stayed be-
side your mother. You've been her
constant companion in Jail, sharing
her Imprisonment, sharing her sor-
rows; and if by a miscarriage of JUS
tice there should be a conviction and
your mother is hanged follow her
teachings, my child all through your
them in rearing your
own children, when in Gods good
time they are sent to you, and some
of these days you and your good
mother will be reunited in Gods own
realms"
Woman Unmoved-ChiIdren Weep.
The jury, after being out all night,
returned a verdict of guilty, with a
for Imprisonment
for life.
At the conclusion of the reading
not a sound could be heard Pine
Mrs. Edna Godbee, was
asked by the court to rise while he
announced her punishment as impris-
onment for the remainder of her nat
ural life.
Surrounded by her sons and daugh
ters and sisters the defendant took
her seat without emotion while tears
flowed freely from their eyes. After
a few minutes she was removed to
the county jail.
Her attorneys will file a motion for
a new trial for her at once.

BANKER OLIVER LOSES FIGHT
Habeas Corpus Is Denicd by Judge
Jones at Albany, and Mississippi
Men Hustle Prisoner Away.

Judge Clayton Jones of the city
court of Albany on Saturday after
noon decided that A. D. Oliver, alleg
ed Georgia bank wrecker and biga-
mist, and l.. c. Harding, escaped con-
vict from Mississippi, were the same,
and accordingly denied the writ of
habeas corpus sued out by divers
lawyers in an effort to prevent him
being taken back to Mississippi
Rushed Away in Automobile.
Hardly had the judge finished an
nouncing his decision before the Mis-
issippi officers had bundled oliver in
to a waiting automobile and started
off at a rapid rate for the Alabama
line. With Oliver legally in their
possession it was apparent that the
Mississippi officers were determin 81
to lose no time in taking their pris-
oner out of Georgia's jurisdiction.
Judge Jones announced his decis-
ion in the case, which had been be-
fore him nearly all of the week
almost as soon as Attorney Jesse w.
Walters had finished the concluding
argument in divers behalf.
One of the officers remarked as the
big touring car was pulling out that
if necessary he and his prisoner
would sleep in the woods until they
reached Mississippi soil. He will
fight shy of cities, towns and villages,
he said, as stopping places.

Wrong in the Double killing.
lTLLEN, Ga.-With the close of
the argument for the defense at 6:2O
o'clock all the light had been turned
on in the trial of Mrs. Edna Perkins
Godbee for killing her husband.
Indisputably the feature of the
DAYS session was the singing ar
raignment of Mrs. Edna Godbee by
Solicitor Moore and the pathetic,
touching speech of Judge Frank SAT
fold in behalf of the defendant, two
of the most brilliant bursts of ora
tory ever heard in a Georgia court
house. Solicitor Moore's address, at
times. fairly made the court room
shudder, while Judge Saffold brought
tears to the eyes of many staunch
men.
"Nurder." Cried Solicitor Moore.
"Red-handed murder stalks
through the land, and if the juries
don't put stop to it you don't know
when you will be a victim or who
will be next" declared Solicitor Gen
eraI R. Lee Moore, who presented be-
fore the jury one of the strongest
arguments ever heard in jenkins
court house in the prosecution Of
Mrs Godbee.
1T is all morbid, sickly sentimen-
taIity," the prosecutor continued,
that woman should be allowed to
kill and murder and not be made to
pay her debt to society, pound for
pound and life for life"
