Irby Disappointed
When Slayers of
Wife Get Respite

Seth Irby, of Lewisville, Ga, was
visibly disappointed when he was in
formed at the county Jail Friday that
the hanging OF Rober, Paschal,
George Hart and William Hart,
scheduled TO take place between the
hours of 10 and o'clock, had been
postponed indefinitely because of a
motion for a new trial fied Thursday
by Judge Spencer r. Atkinson
Mr.. Irby was the husband of the
woman the negroes are charged with
numbering shortly before Christmas.
Despite the story told by Robert Pas
chal, which resulted in the motion for
a new trial. M lrby is confident that
they are guilty.
'Paschal says he knows the other
boys are not guilty, and also claims
to be innocent himself, but the evil
dence against the negroes is too
strong to permit of any doubt as to
the guilt of all three in my mind"
said he. 81 think the authorities have
the right men, and believe they should
pay the penalty"

Dr.. Walker Asserts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-"Bach-

demand present day fashions" de-
clared Dr. Mary Walker, the only
woman having Congress permission
to wear trousers, speaking at the
banquet of the National Custom Cut
ters' Association.
Attired in faultless dress suit she
pleaded with the tailors to bring
about more sensible fashions for
women by starting with their own
wives.
It's only a question Of time before
women viii dress as men do" she
said. IT'S the only sensible and eco
nomical way. I have never worn a
corset. The Lord knows how to
make women without their going into
