LAWYERS FIGHT FOR
FREEDOM WOMAN
WHOy KILLED PAIR

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 9.-Led by the
daughter who has stood by her mother
through trial, Imprisonment and con-
viction, attorneys for Mrs. Edna Par
kins Godbee, this morning appeared
before the prison commission to urge
executive clemency for the woman
who killed her former husband and
his bride at Millen, Ca, and is now
serving life term at Milledgeville
fo~ the double murder.
They based their plea on the ground
that Mrs. Godbee was insane when
she killed the pair, and that her at
torneys at the trial ignored this point.
and that in consequence Mrs. Godbee
has neved had the benefit of the de-
Tense which it is claimed would have
acquitted her.
Representing Mrs. Godbee before the
prison commission are Judge Thomas
L. Hill. of Millen, and Judge John 7
Alien, of Milledgeyille. They ask that
the commission recommend to Cover
nor Harris that he grant Mrs Godbee
full pardon, or commute her SEN
tence to the time she has already serv-
ed IN prison.

MILES HAVE BEEN
F|GURED---N NEXT?

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 9.-The people
Of Atlanta ride more passenger miles
on elevators every year than they ride
on street cars, according to surprising
statistics worked out yesterday.
1t is figured that the number of pas
senger miles Travelled on street cars \
Atlanta by the people every year
amounts to something like 70,000,000
.or half way from here to the moon
The total number of miles Travelled on
elevators during the year, ii is figur-
ed, will come nearer 100000 or TO-
100000.
One reason may be that you hon't
have to pay any fare when you ride in
an elevator.
