Hudson Case Goes
to Jury; Mothers
Trial Next Monday
CBy Associated P-ess.l

Albany, Ga, Oct. 4.-The case of
Glen Moore Hudson, charged with
the killing of his two step-sons, was
given to the jury late today. Shortly
afetrward it was announced that
Mrs. Hudson, mother of the two boys,
Robert, aged 10, and Isaiah, four,
would be placed on trial Monday
morning
Evidence in the case was conclud-
ed when the defendant in an unsworn
statement to the jury said he was "as
innocent as an angel in heaven"
Hudson made no attempt to say
who shot the boys and nowhere in
his brief statement did he charge
his wife with the crime, as Sheriff
Tarver testified today the maa-had
done in conversation with him. He
accused her, however, of cruelty to
them and said she and T. NJ. Skipper,
a witness for the state, who admit
ted having been intimate" with
Mrs. Hudson, seemed to have a
grudge against the children who were
found shot to death at the Hudson
home near here last July. Hudson
said he often protested against her
beating the children.
Both Hudson and his wife came
from Alabama and numbers of wit
nesses from the town in which they
had lived today swore to his good
character up othe time he began
going with his present wife. After
that, it was testified, he was put out
Of the church and finally married her
and left town.

Sale of Paving Bonds
Is to Be First
Task
TO REPLAT NEW WARDS
More Lights Also Will
Be Installed-Other
Matters

Pacifying the Heights was the
chief task of the city council at the
regular session last night. Plans were
made to push the sale of the $4,000
bond issue, enabling the paving and
laying of water mains in Wards s
and 8, and authority vested in the
light committee to have twelve lights
placed in these two wards at once.
Alderman Mullis was the chief
spokesman for the eHights and back
ing him up We're several citizens from
the two new wards, who were visitors
at the council meeting.
The condition of sidewalks on
River street, Sixth between Reed and
Main, and several other streets was
again brought to the attention of the
councilmen and after great deal of
discussion the city engineer was in
structed to max ca survey of the
city and report the location of all
sidewalks which were in need of re-
pairs to council at it's next meeting.
Captain Randolph was also instruct
ed to notify owners of property abut-
ting on such sidewalks that they
would have to be repaired either by
the property owner or the city at the
owners expense. 1t was
brought out during this discussion
that a very prominent citizen had
suffered serious and dan
gerous accident on account of the
of the sidewalk on Lemon
street.
To Replat New Wards
The city engineer was instructed
% replat Wards s and 9 and also to
iraw up plans and specifications for
he paving of these new wards and |
he laying of additional water mains |
n this new portion of Palatka.
The probability of the immediate
ale of the bonds for the improve
nents in Palatka eHights was dis
ussed and City Attorney Merryday !
tated that there is practically moth
ne which will prevent their sale be-
ore the next meeting of the city
Ouncil. The local banks will be ask
d to handle this issue, if possible,
nd if not, the paving contractors
7ill probably make bids on them At
east one contractor expressed his
at the meeting last night
o bid on the purchase Of these bonds.
Alderman Fursley called the at
2ntino Of council to the fact that in
great many instances automobile
wners are using the city streets,
nd in some cases Lemon street, for
heir garages. He stated that some
f the streets are so narrow where
he cars are parked all night that
assing automobiles have to run on
ne sidewalks and, in some instances,
an not pass. This matter was refer
ed to the street and sewer COM
ittee.
Alderman Mullis, in his request
r lights in Wards 8 and 9, called

Giants and Yankees In
Death Grapple For
World Title
BETS ARE ABOUT EVEN
Pitching Selections to Be
Announced Only Few
Moments Ahead

New York, Oct. 4.-The cream oi
the metropolitan baseball fans has be.
come reality. For years local fol-
lowers of the national game have
hoped for a world series battle be.
tween the Giants and the Yankees
Now after nineteen years of wait
ing, they are to see them grapple for
the supreme prize of the professional
baseball championship of the uni
verse. ,
On the historic Polo grounds to-
morrow afternoon the rival league
1921 pennant winners will meet in
the first of series of the best five
out OF nine games which is expect
ed to add record breaking features
to the long history of the world Sc
ries. Led by John McGraw and Mil
Ter Huggins, the Giants and Yankees
will scamper out on the diamond
shortly after noon whit a combina-
tion of stars seldom, if ever, equalled
in the annals of the game.
In the gray travelling uniform of
the Yankees will be Babe Ruth, the
clouting king of the baseball world,
with a record of SO home runs this
season; Carl Mays, underhand hurl
ing artist; Catcher Wally Schang,
~vetvrarr Of three past world series;
Roger Peckinpaugh, one of the best
shortstops on the major circuit to-
day, and Bob Meusel, heavy hitting
outfielder.
Giants Have a Galaxy
Opposed to this galaxy of stars
the Giants will offer Frank Frisch,
one of the fastest infelders that ever
played skinned diamond position;
George Kelly, leading home run hit
ter of the National league; Emil
Meusel, brother Of Yankee Bob Meu-
sci, also noted for his extra base
hits; Dave Bancroft, one of the most
finished short stops of modern base
ball, and Pitchers Toney, Nehf and
Barnes, all twirlers extraordinary.
While close followers of baseball |
bold the opinion that neither the
Giants nor Yankees of today are the
great DlaVing machines that rnado
earlier world series history, such as
the Athletics of 1910, II and 10 and
the Chicago Cubs of 1906-7-8, the
two local teams possess both the
color and personality for sensa-
tional and thrilling series.
1t is generally conceded among the
fraternity that the Giants
and Yankees are about evenly match
