DEATH Bed STORY
CAUSE OF A DIVORCE

A story told by weakened woman
on what she thought was to be her
death bed, to a sorrowing husband
three years ago, form the principal
grounds for a divorce asked for in the
Forrest county chancery court today
by v. B. Edmonson from Mrs. Mary
Edmonson.
A confession alleged to have been
made by the woman who was weak
from a long illness, to her husband Is
contained in the papers filed in the
court house, and upon this Mr.. Edmon
son asks the court to give him a
legal separation. The case will come
up for trial at the September term OF
the chancery court.
Mr.. Edmonson states in his papers
that he was married in September
1904, in the second district OF Perry
county, now Forrest county. Until
January, 1912, he said, he lived hap
PLY with his wife. About three years
ago, the petition recites. Mrs. Edmon
son became i'll and was taken to the
Hattiesburg Hospital. He frequently
visited her, he explained, and on one
occasion, she made admissions to hin
which he had not heretofore suspect
ed. Following the course at the hos
pital. he sent her to the home Of hel
mother, and later to the home of his
brother. He continued to provide fol

condition, would not desert her. Later

(By Associated Press,

London, May 11.-War between Italy

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

Philadelphia, May 11.-President
Wilson gave to gathering of 1000
naturalized Americans last night the
first intimation of the course the
United States probably will pursue in
the situation resulting from the loss
of more than a hundred American
lives on the British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his hear
ers interpreted his remarks as mean
ing that while the United States would
remain at peace it would seek to con.
vince Germany of the injustice to
mankind, of the tragedy.
America" said the President,
must have the consciousness that on
all sides it touches elbows and touches
hearts with all the nations of man
kind. The example of America must
be a special example. And 1t must
be an example not merely of peace
because it will not fight, but because
peace is healing and eleyating infiu
ence of the world and strife is not.
There is such thing as a man be
ing too proud to fight. There Is such
thing as being so right that it does
not need to convince others by force
that It is right" ~ -.
PrecIpitated Tumuit Of Applause.
These remarks precipitated tumuli
Of applause and patriotic enthusiasm
attended by waving Of thousands oi
small American flags. The President
made no direct. reference to the Lusi
tania, tragedy but the audience did not
hesitate to read the application Of his
statement. 4.
Humanity First"
The sentiment expressed in the
Presidents speech was epitomized
later by one of his closest advisers as

| to strap her in the chair himself Lord,
don't know how he'll act when he hears
about Glasbury!"
Then he told Ianeham of new meas
ure he had taken to cover the Fisher apart
ment-so far as it could be covered.
He wasn't going to seem to depend any
longer on mere locks and bolts. OF course,
he would be keeping all that, and his out
was putting in an inside guard-another
plain-clothes man and Sergeant Hooley.
"Good," said Laneham. "And now
| only hope that Judge Bishop will come
in time"
THE Judge arrived just as he was get
ting into the car, and the Doctor took
him with him to the station.
He told him in the fewest possible words
of that new "return" the night before; of
the attempt to kill him in the elevator
shaft; of Glasbury, and what they now
knew of that murder note. And then,
leaving him no time for comment, he
turned and asked point-blank:
"Bishy, you have always been Mrs.
Fishers legal confdant-you knew more
of her affairs than any one else. Will
you tell me why almost her last act on
earth should have been to make her will?"
"Good God!' said Bishop. "Do you
tell me that?"
"You heard Maddalina speak of
writing, a scritto, she had had to witness.
That was what it was. Jimmy told us
last night, after you had gone..'
"My heavens!"
"And now, old man, will you say to me
that she had never, within the weeks be-
fore, spoken of making new will to you?'
The Judge had no need to answer: his
expression told the story. This, then, was
the thing that he had been holding back
When he finally did reply, it was with
another question.
"Laneham, if there was such a will
if Mrs. Fisher attempted, that morning,
to make one for herself, what was her
reason for such haste as that? You re-
member her call for me to come and see
her in the afternoon
al remember"
"And another thing. If she made such
a will-where did that will go tor
al don't know. The police search was
thorough enough, and it revealed nothing.
Furthermore, there are wills and wills,
just as there may be different sorts of
suicide pacts."
"Laney!"
"By this time, too, continued Laneham
levelly, "you must have noticed that
there have been two distinct sorts of re
turns to those Fisher rooms?"
Bishop threw himself back and twisted
in his seat.
"Stop it, stop it! You ask me to think
that your-your specter, or your demon,
has been making his returns for that will?"
al ask nothing, and suppose nothing.
only know that Mrs. Fisher made a
will, or something that Jimmy believed
was will, in all haste, not three hours
before her death. And we've got long
way now past believing we've been follow
ing any mere attempt to steal her pearls"
Enough"
The Judge made a motion to stop the
car and get out "Man, you start my
hair! Is this your psychanalysis? And,
if there was any such document, let me
say this: May your devil friend soon find
it and be satisfied"
TT was after midnight when Laneham

Oh, sure he did! An no more trace of
him than before! But get up there,
won't you, the quickest you can, an
learn anything you can yourself"
He tapped only on Willings' door.
Willings answered at once. And it was
in the limousine that they really fin
ished dressing. At the Casa Grande a
police car had arrived just before them.
1t held detail under Captain MCGOWAN
of the Central Bureau. And McGloyne
had given him orders to look for the Doc
tor. Another physician had also been
"called Hammerling, from the
Drive-and they all went in together.
Running their elevator was the self
same young West Indian who had visited
and pleaded with Laneham that after
noon. And now his twitching counte-
nance showed a fear that, once seen, kept
them from looking at him again. But he
took them up, someway. The police officers
gave little heed to him, for by then was
there any one in the Casa Grande who
'cas calm?-and they pushed out into the
crowd OF tenants moving fearfully about
in the corridor.
There, one of the patrolmen left on out
side guard that night took charge of them
and led them through.
MCGOWAN asked him only single
question:
"The locks were right again."
"Not one of them touched, Cap!
We had to use our keys to get in our
selves. That was what KEEP us, or we'd
"a been in the moment we heard Hooley
go down."
"Where is he?"
"Right in there where the devil got
him. We left him so for evidence"
HOOLEY waslying diagonally across the
front of the fireplace in Mrs. Fishers
little library. Almost directly above his
head, indeed, was that inlaid Bikri shield
that masked the tiny wall safe itself
Two patrolmen We're STOPPING over him.
"It's no use, Cap" said one of them
"He was dead, you'd say, before he hit
the floor. He likely never knew what
killed him."
But the two physicians could at least
verify the cause of death. 1t was what
McGloyne had said it was-a blow
upon the side of the head which crushed
in the temple, even as Mrs. Fishers had
been crushed in.
MCGOWAN hurried them on into the
middle room, where lay the plain-clothes
man, who had been only wounded.
"How is it with you, Grogan?"
The man did not answer. He was still
unconscious. He had lost much blood,
and from his lips there came the heavy,
stertorous breathing resultant upon shock.
A basin of water stood near. While
Eaneham bathed his head, his fellow
physician felt along the suture lines for
a possible fracture.

"a little concussion, maybe; but doubt
if there's even that"
Calling for hand mirror, he made an
