Mrs FSrmer and Mrs. Holt indi-
Gated that they would insist upon the
prosecution of Mrs. Pannell for murder.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
TAKE JITNEY RIDE HOME.
At noon Thursday Mrs. Pannell &C
companied by Elva Pannen and Mrs.
Mamie Heard, the police matron, went
to az Chastaiue street to get some
articles of clothing out of trunk.
The trip was made in a police jitney
driven by Call Officer Grover Fam. 1t
was the first time Mrs. Pannen has
been in the open air since her arrest.
The trip was uneventful. Mrs. Annie
Farmer, Pannelrs mother, and Mrs. G.
/. Holt, his sister, were not at the
house so the women did not meet, as
had teen expected.
Mrs. Panneu and Blva both seemed
to appreciate the jitney ride. The girl
was whistling and Mrs Pannell was
raEsa. king trunks, talking cheertuIly'
when a reporter for The Journal enter
ed the house. .,
Neither would discuss the shooting
ard even when they stood in the room
where Pannell met death, their spirits
never tagged.
half hour later Mrs. Pannell was
hack in the matron's room at ponce
heacouarters.
FuNERAI. HELD UP
FOR MORE INVESTIGATION.
To hermit further investigation as 10
the character of Pannell's wounds, relat-
lives have held up the funeral, and the

awaiting an examination by doctors ana
police officers.
II was stated wednesday that razor

nelTs right hand, but Ed f. Bond OF
Greenberg & Bond, said when ne picked
M the body Wednesday morning the
strap was five or six inches away from
the right hand.
Mrs. Holt and others state that plates
on the breakfast table were broken by
the bullets fred at Pannell. 1t is stat
ed that Mrs. Pannell fired seven times.
Tba revolver used was an automatic
firing steel-capped bullets
Journal reporter examined Pannelfs
body Thursday morning, and discovered
mat four. and not five, bullets had
found their mark. All OF these bullets
passed through the body from the rear
to the front; two Of them, after passing
through the chest, struck Pannell
bands-one lodging in the left thumb,
the other striking the right forefnger.
when the body was embalmed Ed F.
Bond picked the bullet out of the left
thumb. 1t was a steel-capped automatic
bullet.
That the bullets passed from the rear
to the front was shown by the fact that
the holes in the front of the body were
larger and more torn than those in the
roar which were small and smooth.
In supporting their assertions that
Pannell was shot while eating breakfast,
his relatives point out that the range of
the bullets through the body indicate
this.

"SOUL OF ESS,
MOTHER SAYS ED WAS.

The interview with Mrs. Holt and Mrs.
Farmer occurred late Wednesday after
noon at the Pannell home, AZ Chastine
street.
Mrs. Farmer said that her son, Ed, had
been in the best of spirits when she left
about $50 o'clock, and that she had
leaned over and kissed him good bye, in
curing about his health. He replied,
she said, that he was feeling fine He
didn't get up so early as she because
his work did not require his presence so
early.
Mrs. Farmer said that Ed was the
kindest boy she ever knew, that he had
never been mean or rough with wom-
an in his life and was the soul of gentle
ness.
With the aid of Mrs. Farmer. Mrs.
Holt rearranged the table and the chairs
in the dining room as they were at the
time of the shooting, declaring that
Pannell was sitting at the end of the
table, eating his breakfast, his back
towards the room in which his wife was
the door between being open. Elva
and the other girls were in the rooms.
She declares that Pannell was shot
IN the back through the open door, by
Mrs. PanneI, and that he never had
a chance for his life, being utterly UNI
aware of her intent to murder him.
Then. SAYS Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Pannen
calmly packed her suit case, or grip,
and told Elva to telephone to the police
that she had shot PanneN. Mrs. Holt
SAYS that E1va told the police, when
they questioned her over the phone as
to the reason for the shooting.
"She shot him because he wanted to

way to account for it but the rawlings of
q mad woman!
AS for her statement that he was
beating her. We have the word Of Elva
and the other children, present at the
time, that this was untrue. Elva is
bit unruly and her father, before sit
ting down to his breakfast, had reprov-
ed her for some act. Her father had
threatened to whip her-Elva- He had
done what he thought a good father
should do-correct his daughter for her
badness.
when he threatened to whip Elva it
probably threw his wife into a rage, al
though she knew he wasn't going to
hurt Elva any. He was as gentle and
as kind as he looks" here she pointed
to a picture of PanneIl, in his military
coat, hanging on the wall.
HE was the kindest, gentlest man
ever knew" she said. He would no
more have thought of beating her or
even striking her-or any other woman
than he would have thought of strik-
ing his mother, whom he dearly loved.
PANNELLS WE'RE DIVORCED
BUT LATER REMARKED
Then Mrs. Holt, aided in details by
Mrs. Annie Farmer, her mother, and Mr..
Farmer, her stepfather told of the fam
lily relations; how Pannell, once divorced,
had remarked his wife; of their life IN
Atlanta before going to Greensboro, N.
c.; of Pannell's return to Atlanta and
search for work, and of Mrs. PannelPs
joining him here.
"She wrote to him begging to come
TO Atlanta" said Mrs. Holt. Would
she have done that If he had nabitually
beat her? He bought her fine clothes;
he was a home-loving man, devoted
to his wife and his children. He was
very proud of them.
i" Matte" he would say to me some
times, haven't I got the three finest
girls and the best wife any fellow ever
had?" And he would kiss them and
hug them.
HE never stayed away from home at
night. Does that seem like he was
a mean wife-beater?"

MARKET WEAKENS
 NEAR THE CLOSE
Prices Go Off After Steady Morning Close, 1 Lower to 1 Higher-LiverpOOl Did Not Meet Local Advances.

New York, April 4.-After con- paratively steady morning the cotton market weakened as result of near month liquidation and May sold off to 11.7Sc, or Il points under last nights closing figures, while new crop deliveries held relatively steady, with the close steady, net 4 points lower to 1 point higher.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yester- days local advances and the opening here was somewhat irregular, first prices being points lower to 1 point higher. The relatively easy showing of the cables again was attributed to the easier freight situation, however, while the tone of the local market was steadied by reports of a large spot business in New Orleans and some scattering demand from trade sources.
 There seemed to be some scattered selling of May from the start and that position failed to work above last nights closing price, but July sold up to 12.03c late in the morning, while October advanced to 12.11c, or about 3 to points net higher. There was no active or aggressive buying, how ever, and the market turned easier during the afternoon, under more act i've near months liquidation, part of which was in the shape of switching from May to December. As May sold off July broke to 11,93c, or about 10 points from the high level of the morning, and October worked back to 12.05c, or a point under last nights closing quotation.
 Cotton closed steady.

WILL ACT ON COUNTY
 FAIR NEXT WEEK
Citizens of Little Rock Will De- termine Whether or Not d County Fair Will be Had in Pulaski County This Year.

Little Rock, April 5.-A call will next week be issued for a meeting of the business interests of Little Rock to determine whether or not a Pulaski county fair will be held this fall. The fair has been a losing venture for several years, but instead of discon- tinuing it, there seems to be a dispo- sition to branch out and make of it q state institution.
 Local interests have held back, how eveD in order to give clear field to Hot Springs, but with the revival of racing, and an interest more keen in them than would be manifested in a state fair, it is expected that Hot Springs will now waive the state fair proposition over to Little Rock. Should this be the case, large stock |company will be formed, a suitable site selected, and buildings sufficient to accommodate a state fair erected There will be a stadium for display and pageantry, but there will be no racing, that being left to Hot Springs, for racing is the heavy expense of a fair.

LITTLE ROCK CITY
 ELECTION TAME AFFAIR

Little Rock, April 5.-The city election in Little Rock on Tuesday WAS tame affair, the Democratic nominees all being elected by large naOrities. On Monday night an or ganization which has been rather active against candidates of certain religion, met with over 200 present and voted to oppose most of the Democrats who were to be elected on Tuesday. This scared the candidate a bit and the Democratic organization became very busy. A dozen girls were stationed at telephones and every voter in town was called during the day and urged to go to the polls for the protection of the party. As result the largest vote recorded in many years was recorded. The sa- bOns were all closed, but the mere fact that they have been since Janu- sry did not make it look less like election day.

OSTRICHES AS BUGGY HORSES.

"The ostrich as buggy horse is becoming legal problem in Cali fornia," says Farm and Preside. "They exceed the speed limits, and are charged with a rapidity of 40 miles an hour to the damage of people knocked over by them. They kick, and reach over from the road into orchards and swipe fruit. An ordi- nance against ostrich driving is pro- posed in at least one California town"

 "Dr. Charles Hillman Brough, bro- ther beloved; your church does you honor today. Christian gentleman that you are, and unselfish friend of humanity, you have won a notable victory over demagogery. The state as well as yourself is to be cangratu- lated. We confidently expect that you will honor the office of governor more than it can possibly honor you. In your church you have made good in every place from usher to filling the pulpit. As chairman of the Board of Deacons, a teacher in the Sunday | school, leader in our prayer meet 1 ings, and a right hand man in every good work, we who know you best love and appreciate you most. Your victories are ours and in your every conflict with the forces of evil our sympathies are yours.

Accept our sincere congratulations Keep on good terms with God and His people and all will be we'll"
