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

Mrs. Elmer T. Darden. of Kirkwood,
whose husband will plead the ''unwrit
ten law" when arraigned for the Staying
of c. NJ. Goddard. of Redan, will 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, but 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 Mr.. Goddar for
no cause whatever" Mrs. Darden told
the officers.
And then she added:
Absolutely 6IameIess.
Il defy any person in this world to
show that l have been guilty OF inn
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 save
himself from punishment for his bloody
deed.
Il want to tell the whole world it's ali
a base falsehood."
Detectives said that while the law
does not permit a wife to testify either
for or against her husband, Mrs. Oar
den could go on the stand and defend
herself against attacks on her charac-
ter.
II was learned today that Policeman
Phillips, a Kirkwood officer, will also
be introduced by the state to show that
on several occasions he had to run
Darden away from the Kirkwood home
when he is alleged to have gone there
in drunken condition and abused his
wife.
Officer Phillips and others, II is said,
will testify that Goddard was never
seen about the Darden home at all.
No Date With Woman.
Detectives said it win be shown that
Goddard came to 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 from Redan TO
Kirkwood Darden would frequently
come TO Atlanta, buy a 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
shn Vn that the Goddards had frequent
" 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 occa-
sion about a year ago, shortly before
her husband died, gave Darden her last
five dollar bill to aid him in a time Of
need.
The grand jury will probably indict
Darden at the session tomorrow.

kept on the bag.
Coach Harley was very much pleased
over the showing of Joe Lawlor behind
the bat in yesterdays game. When Lynch
was taken out in the first inning yester-
day Mullaney was also taken out to give
Lawlor chance.
Lawlor made two clean hits, one Of
them being responsible for the only score

superb game, and his throwing was a
feature. =.
The showing of the three pitchers in
the game yesterday was by no means
plea sing to the coach. Lynch. who start
ed the game. showed to so good advan-
tage before the game that Coach Harley
decided to give him a chance. Ffenle.
who replaced Lynch, was by no means
fit to go in against Yale. but the coach
believed that by using Fienle he would
have fair chance Of getting away with
the game. When he was hit so hard in
the second inning. Heffernen replaced
him. Heffernen seemed to get along very
well. He had good speed and fine

Eddie Foster and Clyde Milan were un-

take part in the game against Virginia
There is nothing seriously wrong with
them and they will be ready to take their
places when the team gets home.
No player regardless of what his repu-
ia tion may be- is exempt from the dieci-
pline which is in force here. Yesterday
morning Johnson, Schaefer and Sheer ac-
copied an invitation to go fox-hunting.
and they miscalculated the time when
they would return and did not show up
for morning practice. When they finally
made their appearance they were inform
ed by Griffith that they would have to DO
all the chasing in the outfield during the
batting practice in the afternoon, which
they did No other player was allowed
to go into the outfield for nearly two
hours while the rest OF the SQUAD was
hitting. and there was some hitting. 80
Schaefer johnson and Sheer had their
tongues hanging out before the practice
was over. johnson was then put In to
pitch a couple Of innings against Vir-
gfnia but he did not appear to be any
the worse for his experience
Ray Morgan is hitting so well and
showing such good form in the field
that it would not be at all surprising II
Griffith changed his mind and made
change in his lineup for the opening
game Laporte Is not in good form this
spring, though he has worked necessarily
since reporting here. He may come
around one of these days. to be sure
but unless he does Morgan is fairly GER
tain to start the season at second base.
The Baltimore boy is much improved IN
more ways than one and 1t may be that
If played regularly he would become
consistent performer.
There has been a wonderful improve
ment in the hitting OF the Nationals
during the past few days. though 1t Is
yet far from consistent. In the morn

off either but what they did to the
Virginia pitchers in the afternoon was

over the lot and finally grew tired OF
running the bases.
Quite batch of the young PLAYERS
will be disposed of shortly after the team
arrives home. Griffith has been busy
for several days corresponding with
minor league club managers regarding
those he Is not going to retain. and
wants TO put out to get experience. and
several deals are sure to be closed with
in the next week or so.
The game with Virginia. which was the
final one here, was rather one-sided
affair. The big leaguers jumped on the
college pitchers right from the outset
and hammered them to all corners OF
the field. While both Johnson and Boeh-
ling were decidedly effective. Gandil
and Mcbride. after the game was SAFE
withdrew and Altrock and Schaefer took
their places. From that time on the
game was a farce, for the two comedians
pulled a lot of their amusing stun.

NOT YET DECIDED
AS TO c. i. LINEUP
Coach Harley Will Make
Shifts in Attempt to Get
Better Combination. :

Coach Harley of the Georgetown base
ball team announced after the game with
Yale yesterday that he would hold two
practices today, weather permitting. in
his endeavor to get his team into good
shape for the game against Washington
tomorrow.
As predicted, another change in the
lineup was made, and it is certain that
even more changes are to be effected
Capt. Fury. who has played right field
on the team during the four previous
games, was benched. and young McCar-
thy, who captained the Prep School nine
last year, was used in his place. Fury s
arm has been giving great deal of trou-
BILE lately, and on two occasions In the
game against Princeton last Monday he
was called upon to extend it. In doing
so he injured it, and as a result will be
kept on the bench for few days, until
it has healed sufficiently to allow him to
play.
Frank Ryan's place in centerfield will
in all probability be given to Jim Barron.
Two men have been tried out In center
field and Barron IS going TO receive his
chance in the next game. There is no
question about Barron s ability as o
hitter = He stands up to the plate Wei
and the coach stated that ne was sdtis-
fed that Barron is the best hitter in
the batch of outfieders he now has on
hand.
Eddie Flynn, the former Holy Cross
first baseman, will be given an oppor-
tunity to work on first base. Coach
Harley was very much pleased with
Flynn's work In the practice so far and
stated yesterday that he expected that
FLYNN would prove to be of great as
sistance to the team in the remaining
games Flynn handles himself very well
and is exceptionally fast for big man.
He is sure OF a chance in the game

NEEDED RELIEF FROM STRAIN
Small Boys Extremely Pertinent Re-
mark Showed Promise of Great
Mind, to Develop.

Anecdotes of the early manifesto
lions of distinguished mind are
always interesting. This one shows
the intellectual power, even in in
fancy, of William Robertson Smith,
who later became one of the most
learned Biblical scholars of Europe.
Talk was passion with him, de-
clare his biographers in the recently
published Life" but even in his
very early years he insisted that it
must be good talk. Nothing wearied
him more than to listen to the con-
versation of the company that came
to his fathers manse when it was
not of the improving sort, especially
since he had to sit silent himself,
according to the rule then strictly
enforced on children.
1t was on one of these occasions,
when a reverend colleague had
stayed long, and after having prosed
mercilessly had at length departed,
that Willy is said to have drawn his
stool up to his fathers knee.
"And now, papa" he said, looking
up with the air of one whose endur-
ance is at an end, Oct us have some
rational conversation. - Youths
