worse these last two days than !

probably be crippled for life. for
then | knew that still had you
and could in some way make up
for your lameness. That would
not matter to me. But for the
last two days | have suffered the
torments of the damned, because
was sure that l had been SO
mean to you that you had ceased
to love me.
"Margie, dear, I'm going to
'fess up l was not out of town
at all. I left you that day furi-
Gus with you and myself. l felt
that life was not worth living
When l got downtown l met Bill
Tenney and he said, What do
you say to a little game of cards
tonight?' l thought Il would be
a good thing to leave you alone,
and it was then that l telephoned
that / was going out of town. But
| could not play cards for think
ing of our quarrel and wondering
IL you we're as angry at me as |
had been at you, and | lost $500.
Then | realized what a blame fool
l was, but | felt that / must get
some of that money back, as
did not have a cent and | was
ashamed to tell you that, even
with no board to pay, l had spent
our entire income for a month on
one evenings poker game. The
next night l won back $3.50. so I
am only $50 to the bad. So I'll
take my medicine and look as
pleasant as possible"
Poor Dick, he il learning that
he does not take as much cour-
grin while one is doing it, and he
though perfectly innocent, will
have to take some of that bitter
medicine.

ed him, for l hardly know what
we are going to do. We are so
awfully in debt, and haven't
spent any money at all for the
last two months. But don't
think it does any good to get into
row with your husband over
split milk. IL only makes mat
ters worse and you unhappy. I
can't quarrel with Dick when he
comes and tells me his sorrow. /
wonder, though, If he is going to
give me his salary next month to
pay the bills? Unless he does I
know we will always be in hot
water. But even in hot water
with Dick is better than in cool
water without him.

CLEARED; CIVIL
CASE TO CO ON
Grand Jury Returns "No Bill"
Against Widow Charged With
Poisoning Her Husband.

The action of The Fulton County
Grand Jury in returning mo bill
against Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford
will have no bearing on the civil case,
involving the property rights of the 4S
plaintiff heirs, according to state
ments made Thursday by the lawyers
of the prosecution.
I'VE have no doubt that justice
will be melted out to Mrs. Crawford
and to the heirs of j. r. Crawford,
said Col Joseph S. James. Mrs.
Crawford is i'm possession OF the
property of j. B. Crawford, and part
ly of Nancy F. Crawford, illegally
and fraudulently, and when the case
finally is submitted TO the courts, We
have no doubt of the triumph OF our
cause"
The criminal proceedings, it is IN
derstood. practically will stop with
the action of the Grand Jury Wednes-
day in finding mo bill against Mrs.
Crawford on the charge of murder
ing her husband TOUR years ago pS
poison Another Grand Jury must
pass on the case before Mrs. Craw-
ford finally is freed OF the $4,000
bond on which she has her liberty
but it is unlikely that another PROBE
of the death of Joshua Crawford will
be made.
The criminal charge of poisoning
was not made against Mrs. Crawford
until July. 1913, when DR.. H. F. Har-
ris exhumed the body and made an
examination The civil case. pressed
by as heirs, already had been in
progress for two years. and it will be
resumed with arguments before the
auditor as soon as Reuben K. Ar

sufficiently recovered from his pres
eut illness.

INJURY To MAN
LYING IN ROAD
UNEXPLAINED
Mystery in Attack or Accident
Which Left West End Citizen
Unconscious.

l.. T.. Miller. victim Of n mysterious
attack or an equally mysterious ac-
cident, was found unconscious at ;
o'clock Thursday morning at McCalrs
Crossing, on Lee street between West
End and Oakland City. He was
bleeding from one ear and evidently
had been lying on the ground fer
some hours, for he was near death
from exposure. He was taken to the
Grady Hospital, where mis- condition
was reported as critical.
Miller is so years old and lives al
No. 4S7 South Ashby street. West
End. He was found by W L. Thomp-
son, formerly a policeman, who was
on his way to the country.
Captain Poole and Call officer Cor
man responded to Thompson's call,
but no clew was found by which
MiIler's mishap could be traced There
was nothing that specially indicated
robbery, although nothing of value
was found in the unconscious mans
pockets.
At the hospital. the nature of the
injury proved equally battling as a.
the preliminary examination. Miller
remained unconscious, but his skull
old not appear to be fractured, and
il was impossible at the first dag
nosis to be certain il there was brain
conclusion.
Detectives were detailed on the
case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga nation
wide hunt for old ballads has been
