CHAPMAN FILES
PAUPER'S OATH
WITH HIS APPEAL
FOUR HUNDRED PAGES CONTAIN
ING RECORD OF CASE FILED
IN CONNECTION WITH PLEA TO
SUPREME COURT.

= The newest development in the
Chapman Wade murder case, which
has attracted statewide attention be-
cause of the prominence of the parties
involved came today when attorneys
representing the convicted dentist filed
their bill of exceptions upon which the
plea for appeal to the Supreme court
is based The document is one of the
most vOluminous ever filed In Sumter
Superior court and fills about four
hundred pages of typewriter manu-
script, according to statement OF
Deputy Clerk Sam R. Heys today The
document is signed by F. A. Hooper,
of Atlanta George c Palmer, of Co
lumbus; Mitt Walker of Preston, j
F Souter, of Preston; l.. J. Blalock
and Wallis & Fort, of Americus, at
torneys representing the defendant
and is accompanied by the declaration
known in legal phraseology as a pau
per's oath."| In this declaritaon, Dr.
Chapman sets forth that he is unable
to pay the costs involved in appealing
the case to the higher courts.-1t is
expected that the case will come up
for hearing at the April term of the
Supreme court in Atlanta, and if moth
ing interferes a decision may be rem
dered during the early summer. In
Il meantime DIR. Chapman is prison
e,- in Sumter county Jail here, where
he appears undisturbed by the course
OF events, although taking keen inter
est in matters of ordinary interest
in the community The filing of a
"pauper's OATH in connection with the
appeal for new trial probably will
Wause considerable comment, as it was
generally supposed DR.. Chapman was
in good financial condition, and would
experience little trouble in securing
all the money necessary to take his
case before the court of last resort.

INTEREST IN 5IAND

A. H|RSCH IN TRIAL
HUSBAND OF ATLANTA WOMAN.
ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL REFUS-
ED TO STATE HIS ATTITUDE.

ATLANTA, Ca, February 20.-Will
Herman H. Hirch, husband of the
woman accused of attempting to extort
100000 from Mayor Asa G. Gambler on
a blackmail threat, stand by his wife
when her case goes to trial?
All Atlanta is asking the question,
and as yet the newspapers have not
succeeded in securing the answer from
the husband, who is almost overcome
with the shock and modification of
the affair in which he came home to
find his wife entangled.
Although he went to see her yes
terday in Jail, after waiting twenty
four hours before doing that, and Of
fered to employ lawyer and arrange
bond for her realease, and ordered
meals sent her fro ma high-class
restaurant, it was still not definitely
stated that Mr.. Hirch would align
himself on the side of his wife when
the case goes to trial on February
9th.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hirsch has Joined
with j. W. Cook, her alleged cocoon
spirator, in employing a firm of law
yers to defend them jointly, while the
prosecution will be conducted by R.
R. Arnold, the famous Atlanta law
yer who was engaged by Mayor Cand-
Ter to aid the prosecution.

UNUSUAL OPERATION
SAVED CLAVAN'S LIFE

SAVANNAH, Ga, February 20
Lacking but one thing to save his life.
and that a pint of blood, M. e. Clavan
lay at deaths door for several days
at st. Joseph's hospital. His physi-
clans becoming desperate as to the
possibility of finding man who would
make the sacrifice of undergoing a
transfusion of his. blood to the veins
OF the other, finally made his difficulty
public by a story which appeared in
a local newspaper on Friday last.
A prompt response was made to this
plan and a man who came up to the
necessary qualifications of being
young, under thirty years of age and
healthy, offered his blood for the
operation.
But the hero has an aversion of
being known as much and positively
declines to give his name for publi-
cation. Not content with having weak
ened himself considerably and OF INV
iLg undergone a very unpleasant
operation to say at least, he shrinks
from being pointed out as the man
who saved the life of another and of
being praised for the very splendid
act he performed
Whether it will be possible to hide
behind his self-imposed anonymity re
mains to be seen, but the man, whose
name We cannot give must have great
satisfaction in knowing he saved the
life of another, when he was under no
sort of obligation to do so.
Mr. Calvin, who for number OF
years has been cashier of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, gave
signs of immediate improvement dirct-
Il after the operation and is now on
the road to recovery. E.
