LEACUEOF CITIES
John NJ. Greer To Talk
To Citizens At Cham
Der At 10 O'clock

Mayor J. E. Sheppard this morn
ing received a communication from
Mayor Tiff, of Albany, who is also
president of the Municipal League Of
Georgia, requesting that meeting
of the citizens of Americus be ar
ranged for 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing, December 5, for the purpose of
discussing the plans and objects of
the league, which has recently been
formed. Mayor Sheppard, for the
city, and President Sheffield, of the
Chamber of Commerce, have issued
a call for such meeting to be held
at the Chamber of Commerce at 10
o'clock Friday morning and every
citizen and business man of the city
is urged to attend.
One of the most important mat
ters to be taken up by the Municipal
League of Georgia is the develop
ment of hydro-electric power plants
for supplying cheap current to every
city and town within the state. John
M. Greer, man of wide experience
in community development and mat
ters of municipal interest, will be
present at the meeting and it is high
ly probable that the question of a
packing plant for Americus will be
further discussed.
Both Mr.. Tiff and Mr.. Greer are
making personal sacrifice in order
to enlist the support of Georgia
municipalities in this great undertake
ing and it is predicted that large
number of Americas business men

ALLOTMENT INCREASED
BY FIFTY PER CENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-(By As
sociated Press) After a conference
with Fuel Administrator Garfield
Senator Cummings announced today
that the fuel administration had
agreed to increase by fifty per cent
the coal allotment for Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Kansas.
Complaints of lack of uniformity
in local application of the coal ra-
tioning orders have reached fuel
headquarters from several sections.
Middle western states and cities,
particularly Chicago, are insistent
that the same drastic restrictions APP
ply in New England, and the eastern
states as are effective in the central
region.
Production reports are viewed as
encouraging. 1t was said semi-offi-
cially that an upward tendency had
been noted in the last two days. OPP
orators expected this to be accentu-
ated when notices had been posted at
the mines of the wage scale decided
upon under Garfeld's suggestion Of
Ia per cent increase.

time. She loved it, too. They lived
in peace till five months ago. I
haven't had drop, myself, in FIVE
years."
Asked if "Pearly" had been pre-
pairing to leave Sam, she said she had
been, that she had her clothes in a
sack ready to go that night.
EARLY that night she went out and
sat down on the pi-ay-za, and / told
her there was no use to wait for
Sam, as he wouldn't be back till he
had seen them naked women up there
at the circus" said Mrs. Duckworth.
She explained that she said this mere
ly to get "Pearly' to come into the
house, as she knew Sam was not COM
ing back then.
Sam Told Her 10 Leave.
Asked if Sam told his wife he
would kill her, she said he told her
that if she was still at home when
he got back he would 'hurt' her.
'First he told her not to leave and
then he told her to leave. told him
what the devil did he mean, as it
seemed nobody could please him."
the continued. "Then he told her to
go and that he'd hurt her if she was
not gone when he got back"
AS Mrs. Duckworth was led out she
called out, Saint there nobody
here?"
"Here I am, Mamma" called Sam.
"Oh, what you have brought Mamma
to with whisky" she called back to
him crying.
Lillian, 6-year-old daughter of
Sam Duckworth, bright, pretty lit
tie girl, told of the car taking her
father away from home on the after
noon of the killing, while her moth
er and grandmother stood by. She
didn't see her father again that
night. She denied she had told any
one her father had come home that
night and killed her mother.
When shown the bloody knife she
denied she knew whose it was.
Ambrose Bagley, colored, who lives
adjoining the Perry place was pres
ent when Duckworth and Ware start
ed for town in the auto. He said, on
cross examination, that Sans moth
er did not tell Sam to bring some
sausage, pork and vinegar.
Recess till am. today was taken
at that point.
Deputy Sheriff Price, who was
present at Duckworth's confession,
said Duckworth declared he killed
his wife 'sbefore he left home in the
afternoon"
On cross examination he confirmed
the Sheriff's testimony of the con-
fesgion. He said Duckworth declar-
ed he killed his wife before he left
home that day, and that he did not

herself dozed. Later "Pearly'' went
out the back door. She paid no at
tention to it, because she knew she
was sick. She dozed again and later
was awakened by the little girl NOV
ing about on the bed. She wanted a
drink of water and got up and called
loudly for "Pearly" The little girl
asked her why she called SO loudly
when she had just then heard her
mother at the we'll. Both she and
the little girl heard the well bucket,
but she said she thought it was one
of the negroes, who gets his water
there, or one of Mr.. Perry's yearlings
had knocked the bucket off the shelf,
she said. She didn't think it was
"Pearly," she said, because Sam had
beaten her in the afternoon and told
her to leave, and she had her clothes
packed in a bag to leave. She
thought, not having answered her
call, that she had left, having said
she intended to do so. Her clothes,
however, were still in the house.
About that time the little girl got
a lamp and the two went to Sidney
Wares house nearby where they call
ed for his wife Liza Ware. Liza
asked her where "Mis' Pearl was
and Mrs. Duckworth told her, she
said, she thought she was in the well.
She explained that that thought oc-
Cured to her when she remembered
that "Pearly" had often threatened
to kill herself-jump in the well,
drink potash or do some "terrible
thing"
A Picturesque Witness.
Mrs. Duckworth made pictur-
esoue witness. Hard of hearing, she
demanded that the questions be put
to her in loud voice ,and she an
swered in a louder voice. Her replies
were generally emphatic, often ac-
companied by the expression, $50
help me God" or, "You asked me for
the truth, didn't you Mister?
That's it.
Asked by the solicitor on cross ex-
animation if Sam and his wife had
had trouble on the afternOn of the
killing, she said, 'They sure did !; they
fought three times, and the last time
Ihe gave her a whipping with a switch,
which he cut off bush near the
house"
Asked by the solicitor if it was a
"good" whipping, she said if she had
oot it she would have thought it was
"bad" one.
"And Sammy was SO drunk he was
slobbering," she continued. "He
punched me some, too. But he
