CRAWFORD HEIRS EXPECT
SEARCH FOR BARBER To
BARE PRE-NUPT|AL PLOT
Relatives Think That Lump Will Tell
Woman Held on Poison Charge
Planned to Wed Him on Her Hus-
bands Death.

If the tireless search which is being
directed by Atlanta lawyers discov-
ers in New York a man named Fred
Lump, the prosecution in the case
against Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford,
who is charged with poisoning her
husband, Joshua B. Crawford, thinks
q pre- nuptial plot against Crawford
can be proved.
The alleged plot was between Mrs.
Crawford. then Mrs. Savage, and
Lump. She would marry the wealthy
Crawford. obtain his money, and then
marry Lump, say her accusers.
Lump is a barber by trade and a
Bohemian by nativity. He is sup
posed to be in New York, and in
that city detectives in the employ
of the prosecution have been at work
for several days. Every message that
comes from them however, is one
of failure.
Colonel James Makes Charge.
The charge Of plot first was made
by Col. ]. S. James, who is attorney
for the contesting Crawford heirs,
who ordered the arrest OF Lump.
Colonel James said that Lump admit
ted his being in Atlanta at the time
Of CrawfoTd's death. and that other
testimony valuable to the prosecution
was given by him in deposition sew
eral weeks ago But present search
for the Bohemian barber has proved
fruitless.
Colonel James points to Mrs. E. c.
Bursener as one Of the witnesses Of
the prosecution to substantiate the
murder plot charge. Mrs. Bursener,
It is claimed, will testify that she
frequently heard Mrs. Crawford say
that she would marry Crawford. get
his money, and later run away with
Lump. The prosecution will seek to
prove also by Mrs. Gertrude A. Paint
er, it is said, that there was a def
mite agreement to this plan existent
between Mrs. Crawford and Lump,
The forces that are trying to sad
die Mrs. Crawford with the murder
charge are scoring heavily in the
closely allied civil suit Heirs of
Joshua B. Crawford, trying to break
the will by which the widow received
due influence, have produced a num-
Der of witnesses to swear to an an
tagonism between Crawford and Mrs.
Mary B Crawford.
One of the witnesses was Mrs. l..
c. Dillingsley, who testified that
Joshua b. Crawford said, time and
again, that he would not marry the
woman. This statement was elected

ford was not rational. and probably

rected particularly toward a Miss
Scott Mrs. Sallie Alexander, an old
woman of Henry County, was anoth-
er witness by whom it was sought %
prove habitual drunkenness on Craw-
fOrd's part
Mrs. Crawford, released from the
Tower on pail Of $3.50, has remained
in the seclusion of her home on West
Peachtree street all week, steadfastly
quiet and refusing all statements in
the face OF the accusations against
her. She has said nothing regarding
the case. except a simple denial OF
the charges.
Reporters seeing her were treated
courteously and quietly, and Mrs.
Crawford seemed not averse to talk
to them freely. But in most of the
talk the subject OF the murder charge
and the plot charge in which Jumps
name appears was carefully skirted.
Mrs. Crawford is a large woman,
Of dignified appearance. Not one mo-
ment since her arrest Saturday night
has her composure broken, even
slightly. In the Tower she received
the few persons who called on her,
and during the visit did not exhibit
a sign of perturbation.
VANS SU&EA0 AWFUL tHiNAs
To reporters and to all her visitors.
when she mentioned at all the sub
ject Of the murder charge, she re-
ferred to it as this awful thing"
Mrs Crawford finds staunch friends
in her children and grandchildren,
who visited her at the Tower, and
were with her almost all the few hours
she spent in jail, bringing her flowers,
a savory meal, and other tokens of
their love.
Mrs. Crawfurd's children are bitter
in their speech against the nephews
and neices of Joshua B. Crawford,
who, they say, are prosecuting their
mother with extreme cruelty. Mrs.
Crawford herself accused her enc
mics of cruelty and lack of feeling.
Mrs Crawford met Joshua B. Craw =
ford when she was in charge of a
winter hotel in st. Augustine, wither
Crawford went in search OF health.
It was there she met him. and there
that she married him. At his death,
there was a settlement of his estate,
Mrs. Crawford taking hold of the
affairs with a capable hand.
An agreement was signed. and the
affairs of Joshua B. Crawford, de
ceased, seemed smicably settled. Then
the litigation was sprung. In the
first bill of complaint the heirs who
contested the will charged Mrs. Craw
ford with poisoning her husband, and
OF exerting undue influence to pro-
cure a will in her favor But It was
not until three years later, two weeks
ago, that an examination of the re-
mains Of Joshua 3. Crawford to as
certain traces of poison was ordered.
Upon the examination came the YER
dict of the physician that traces OF
poison were vident, and Mrs. Craw-
ford was arrested.
With preliminary hearing waived,
Mrs Crawford's case is fiatly up to
the grand jury which, without def
mite date of meeting, awaits the call
Of the Solicitor General. The body
probably will be assembled next week.
