NEGRO WOMAN

Whiskey At the Bottom of
Murder At AnnabelIe
Yesterday.

Fanny Taylor, a negro woman, Is
lodged in the county jail charged with
killing John Brooks, a negro with
whom she had been living at Anna
belle for some time. The body OF the
slain man was taken to the Cunning.
ham morgue and a coroner's jury has
been summoned to investigate the at.
fair next Monday
The shooting occurred in the house
where the two were living and there
are no witnessness, but the woman
freely admits that she fired the fatal
shots. She maintains, however, that
she fired in self defense when he at.
tackled her and she has indicated that
this will be her plea when the case
is tried. According to the story which
she tells she came here with her hus.
band, Howard Taylor, from Birming.
ham, some months ago and her hus-
band got work in the mine at Hutchin-
son, he having been brought here by
labor agents.
Taylor knew nothing Of mine work
however, having been raised on a
plantation in the south, and he soon

the sunny southland. He lacked suf-
flicient funds to take his wife back
with him but he promised to send her
money within a short time in order
that she might join him.
After weeks had passed without
bringing her word from her husband
she went with John Brooks to Wyatt
to live with him. A dispute arose soon
after and she shot the man, wounding
him slightly in the leg. The woman
then returned to her home in Alabama
but she had not been there long be-
fore letters came from Brooks prom
Using marriage If she would return to
him.
About two weeks ago she consented
and returned to Brooks, but few
days ago he succeeded in running the
blockade with some liquor and after
both had imbibed freely Of this the
trouble started, and rapidly developed
into a free for all fight. The woman
succeeded in getting into the bed
room and securing the revolver. When
Brooks rushed her, she says, she fred
three times, one shot taking effect in
the arm, another in the neck and a
third in the chest, with the result
that he died within few minutes.
A negro whose name is Charley
Clark rushed into the house when he
heard the shots and arrested the wo-
man, who says that she was starting
to give herself up to theNauthorities,
A IS calibre revolver and about forty
dollars in money were found in her
possession when she was searched by
the officers at the jail.
The Taylor woman is about 81 years
of age and the mother Of four chill
dren, three of whom are dead. The
other child is being cared for by Mrs
Taylor's aged mother at Birming

Gen. Petain firm hold on the ground

The attack followed week Of al.
most total inactivity on the French

as trench raids and minor surprise

MAY FINALLY BE ADOPTED

Announcement has been made that
the Owes Bottle Machine company
will insall within few weeks small
gas producer plant at the factory here
with view rather to testing the ap.
paratus than to greatly augmenting
the gas supply.
Some Of the officials of the plant in
making an inspection tour in Atlanta,
Georgia, saw a producer plant which
appeared to meet all of the require
ments, and the installation of small
producer system Of that type was ac-
cordingly authorized at the local plant.
The plant will be equipped with
eight small producers which will have
total capacity sufficient to supply
one of the furnaces. A separate build
ing will be constructed to house the
producer plant and it will probably be
made large enough to accommodate a
much larger plant, as it is planned to
equip the entire factory in this way If
the new system proves satisfactory.
The furnace will have to be remod-
eled and number of changes made in
before the new system can be installed
but the work OF erecting the building
will probably be begun within a short
time in order that the plant may be
installed and operated this winter.
