was the victim of a murder plot be-
tween Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford and
Fred Lumb, a New York barber J.
S. James. attorney for the heirs-at-
law to the S25O,O0O estate. announc-
ed Tuesday afternoon that he would
swear out a warrant for Lumb's ar
rest on the charge Of murder and
have him brought back to Atlanta
FOR prosecution.
"Lumb and Mrs. Crawford planned
this whole thing in Florida" said
flames. They planned to turn the
estate into cash and get away. Lumb
visited Mrs. Crawford in Atlanta be-
fore her husband died. He was here
when he died, and remained in the
City until two months after the fu-
Neral. We have evidence that will
convince any fair-minded jury this
pair plotted to murder the old man.
and we will produce it at the proper
time.

by marrying this woman is a re-
mark made in reference to Mrs.
Crawford by Joshua B. Craw-
ford before their marriage, accoding
to the testimony of Mrs. L. c. Dill
Slingsly Tuesday afternoon in the civ
il hearing of the S25O.0OO will case.
Mrs. Dillingsly was one of the wit
nesses called to establish the conten-
ton of the other heirs that the mar
riage was forced upon Crawford, and
that he was not in his right mind
when the ceremony was performed.
BY another witness It was sought
to prove that Crawford at this time
was almost constantly intoxicated.
and to set up the probability that he
was in this condition when he entered
into marriage.
Mrs. Dillingsly lived at the Craw-
ford residence on West Peachtree
ktreet before Joshua Crawford's
death. She recited a number of con-
versations she said she had with him,
and asserted that Mrs. Crawford at
one time attempted to choke Miss
Scott, the sister of the witness.
She said that on two different occa-
sions her sister was awakened in the
night by smothering sensations as
though something had been placed
over her face, and that each time she
saw Mrs. Crawford returning to her
bed.

KILLED
BY KICK Of
HORSE
Children Victims in Accidents in
Different Parts of City at
Nearly Same Hour,

A e-year-old boy was killed out
right and a 5-year-old boy received a
fractured skull which probably will
prove fatal, by being kicked by a
horse and a mule Tuesday afternoon.
The two accidents occurred in diff
feTent parts of the city less than half
an hour apart.
Robert Stewart, the boy who was
killed, was the son of Mrs. Belle
Stewart, of SO Ella street. He was
riding a horse and as he turned the
corner of Wells and Stewart streets
the animal became frightened and
threw him
The boy fell directly in front of the
frightened horse and the animal
whirled and kicked him in the head,
killing him instantly.
Jeffe Barryhill, years old, was
kicked in the head by a mule belong

front yard of his home at sos Marietta

playing with his toys, and the mule
was wandering around eating grass.
The animal came close to the boy,
and the child reached out and placed
his hand on the hind leg of the mule
The animal kicked, one of his hoofs
striking the child just above the left
eye, causing fracture of the skull.
The Barryhill boy was hurried to

LANE TO URGE MEASURE
FOR REMOVAL OF SNOW
Oregon Senator Will Introduce Bill
to Apply to the
District.

A bill that will provide for the removal
Of snow and ice from the sidewalks of
Washington and which will be framed
along the lines of the best municipal
regulations in other cities will be intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Lane OF
Oregon within a short time. Senator
Lane has appealed to the authorities of
twenty-five or thirty cities throughout the
country for information regarding this
matter. and already he has received a
number of replies.
Senator Lane said today that Wash
ington should have model law for the
removal of snow and ice from the side
walks. He said:
There should be laws to govern ex-
actly every condition in winter. The law
i expect to see put on the District stat
ute books WILL | hope. be a model. Its
sections are to be prepared from model
laws of the leading cities of the country.
There will be no attempt to make a law
that will be harsh or work injustice on
any one
Il started to prepare the law in answer
to a number of requests from residents
OF this city. Under present laws it seems
impracticabie to attempt to force the
removal of snow and ice. From what |
have heard from residents of the District
they really want such a law and think
it will work for the betterment of the
city.

A Way to Determine Inebriety.

10 lhe Editor OF The Star:
In your issue of the nth instant 1
note a news item on the number of
-drunks'' that have been hailed to the
bar OF the local Police Court since July
], 1913. The figures are worthy of con-
l'sideration and should cause sober
minded citizens to pause in serious re-
fection. This number of nearly 1900
So-called inebriateS being taken into
custody is undoubtedly due to the new
law which became effective July l. and
which gives the police practically un-
limited discretionary power as to who
should and who should not be arrested
for being drunk. In fact, it does seem
that it might give rise to very great
divergence of opinion of what does and
what does not constitute a drunken con-
ditiOn, such as would warrant the ar
rest OF a citizen.
Saturday evening, November s, a
policeman arrested a man at the south
east corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
4ia street charging him with being
drunk. He took his prisoner to the
/ patrol box on y street between Penn
/ sylvania avenue and Missouri avenue
/ The patrolman sat his prisoner on a
| step while he rang up the station house
| ever. while the officer was engaged in
| ringing mp for the wagon the supposed
| drunk made a pussy-foot getaway and
| had a fairly good handicap down II
street before the patrolman realized
what had happened. When he did, how
| ever. he gave immediate chase. but
found that his bird had flown, being
too fleet for the officer to catch him
Returning to the box, the officer an
nounced to those present that he was
| compelled to reverse his original opin
ion. He now believed that the man wa:
not drunk. This might. therefore. b.
one means of ascertaining whether
man is or is not drunk. Let the Officer
| turn him loose and III ne can retak'
his prisoner after chase of two o.
three blocks. then he should be ar
rested and hailed into court: if not h
should be permitted TO go on his way
| unmolested Besides this. 1T would Civ
| some of the patrolmen an athletic ex
ercise that would not go amiss in chas
ing real criminals.

my freedom elsewhere.
