GODDARDEX -W|FE
HELPS CAUSE Of
MRS. DARDEN
Noman Who Divorced Dead
Man Declares SIayer'S Mate
Did No Wrong.

Miss Silla Camp, formerly Mrs. c. NJ.
Goddard. but now a dressmaker at 4S12
whitehall. is to-day determined to come
- the assistance of Mrs. Elmer T. OAR
dsn when her husband, now in Jail
awaiting an indictment by the grand
iury is put on trial in the superior court
NJ Georgia for shooting to death c. NJ.
Goddard.
There was never anything between
nv former husband and Mrs. Darden
except a friendship" she said, and
mink [ will be able to prove it. l 90
know he was never the man to become
infatuated with a woman-and al
though he was sometimes cruel to me,
incompatibility of temper and not a
,von7an was the cause Of the separa-
ton. l believed him to have been
straight. although we couldn't get
along"
An insane jealousy growing out OF the
friendship and evil tongues, she says,
we're largely responsible for the trag-
edy
"Wben the whole truth is known II
will be seen the tragedy began several
Years ago, when Darden and Goddard
we're warm personal friends, and later a
fiery jealousy of Goddard grew out OF
the friendly relations existing between
Mrs Darden and every member of the
Goddard family. Preying on his mind,
he imagined things that never were.
After the separation tale-bearers got
busy and told him things that were
nrobablv without any foundation, but
which must have infuriated him.
when the case is tried Mrs. Oar
denis character will not be hurt. II she
is the kind of woman her husband
would have people think, she could have
lived an easier way-she would not
have had to scrub floors in the Kimball
house TO provide for the little children
Darden deserted" she concluded.

Charges of Money Gift Made
in Investigation.
Continued From Page One.

the money? Was it tens, twenties, If
ties or hundred-dollar bills?"
\. Il don't remember"
q. Did you get the money especially
to give Chief Cummings?'
a. NO. I always carried good
amount of money in my pocket when
travelling and l just happened to have
this amount and handed it to him."
Q. Did Chief Cummings know what
you were giving him."
A Il don't know. l don't think he
did at the time. But he understood
later"
The witness admitted the gift was
made five months after the sale of the
engine
Chief Cummings had interrupted the
testimony with the declaration that the
charge was an Infamous lie Cues
lions were shot at Davidson from all
angles. Alderman John e. McClelland,
whom Mayor Woodward had designat
ed to represent him, raised the point
that the committee was not protecting
the witness The committee ruled that
the witness must be protected. David
son said the committee was protecting
him all right.
Question Of Veracity Raised.
A question of veracity between ex-
Mayor Winn and Davidson was raised.
When bids were opened for the auto
mobile fire engine for the new Tenth
ward station, Davidson said his bid
was accompanied by letter, Offering
| 10 per cent rebate on the $4,000 Webb
| engine. He said the letter was not read
| by the board of fire masters, but that
VIM was present as mayor and that
he called his attention to it. Accord
| ing to his statement, VIM nodded as
though he understood.
He did not speak the truth de-
clared Winn from the stand 81 never
saw any such letter. He is either a
skunk or scoundrel."
Mayor Woodward had presented to
the committee records OF the bid, in
Guiding a letter offering a 10 per cent
discount on the price of the engine. He
said the records had been furnished him
! by Davidson.
81 guess you slipped that letter in
there just like you slipped me that
$500" said Chief Cummings.
Mayor Woodward Textiles.
Mayor Woodward played an impor-
tant part in the testimony. He made
references to the fact that bill Of lad
! ing for the La France engine, the
engine selected by the fire masters,
had reached him, but that no one had
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-20

the fire masters bought this engine
without any authority from council and
without having any funds available.
which was illegal He recited that
Chief Cummings had bought practical
ly all hose for the fire department dur
ing his administration of six years
from the Eureka Company. and that
the vouchers showed no 10 per cent
discount, while the hose bought by joy
ner during his administration from the
Fabric Company practically all show
ed 10 per cent discounts for the city
The mayor showed that the fire chiefs
of the various cities were closely affil-
lated and that p Q. Hebert the agent
of the Eureka Company, and the man
who sold the board the IaFrance en-
CINE, was very friendly with all of
them. He has further proof that He
bert represented the Fabric Company
during the time that Joyner was buying
practically all the city hose from them.
Chief Cummings complained that
Mayor Woodward was unfair to him,
and that he took the statements of
''hoodlums' in preference to honest
men.
He said a conspiracy by statesmen
had been Matched up to ruin him.
"Ex- Chief W. r, Joyner is working
for the state as fire marshal, but he is
going about the country trying to sell
Webb engines and Fabric hose. His
son, Little Cap is salesman for the
Fabric Fire Hose Company" he said.
Break Witnesses Down.
I'VE are going to break down the
character of these witnesses. They
have gotten themselves into an unex-
pected mess. Mayor Woodward could
reveal all of these crooks who are mis-
representing the fire department II he
would"
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that he did not care anything about
'Bnl' Cummings or any one else.
Il am looking out for the interest
of the city," he said. This depart
ment has not been following the law in
making purchases. The spirit Of the
investigating committee doesn't seem
aggressive enough to get to the bottom
Members Of the fire board recalled
o-day how ]. ]. Rafter, local repre-
sentative Of the Fabric Hose Company,
repudiated alleged statements he made
to Mayor Woodward personally when
sworn and put on the stand. Their
sympathies are with Chief Cummings.
Davidson has proved himself a liar, )"
said Alderman A. H. VanDyke. Il was
a member OF the fire board and he did
not offer any ten per cent discount on
the automobile engine. 1t is a ques-
ton OF veracity between him and
CORTLAND VIM, and I would believe
any statement that CORTLAND VIM
would make"
Councilman Jesse Wood and ex-Al-
derman A. ]. Johnson, former mem
bers of the fire board, swore on the
stand that no proposition Of ten per
cent discount on the Webb engine was
made TO the board.
Chairman ]. H. Harwell, OF the in
vestigating committee, announced to-
day that his committee would go TO
the bottom Of the matter. The next
meeting will be held next Wednesday
