to rob the theatre, Novitzky and Johnnie Noyitzky testified.
 The Novitzky woman admitted. however that she had never dis closed her Knowledge of the affair until Saturday night after the de- fense had established that she was not married to Novit5ky. She became very bitter then, she said, and has tened to the state attorneys and told them all she knew and more that | didn't know" She had even with held her Knowledge from the grand jury before which she testified, she said.
 Seen in Automobile
 Two men and one woman testified they had seen Pope seated in m au- tomobile one block from the theatre between S:3O and 10:3O the night Of the killing. Hickman Is said to have been killed about 10 o'clock. Their descriptions of the car fitted that of Novitzky's car. The defense drew from one witness the statement that although he was riding in an auto mobile of which he did not know the make he was confident as to the de- scription of the machine he said Pope occupied The defense confined it's ross-eXamination of these witnesses to one or two questions, however. The state contends Pope was waiting for Rawlins in the machine to aid in the latters escape.
 The defense developed during the cross examination of the two No vitzkys that they had attended the theatre after lending their car to Pope, through the courtesy of the dead manager. With knowledge or the impending robbery they admitted that. although they had talked with Hickman for several minutes. they had not informed him. Novitzky 1t was established, Is a former employe of the theatre.
 Much interest attaches to the tes- timony of Frank Rawlins the states principal witness, who, 1t was an- nounced. will take the stand tomor- row morning.

HUMAN LIFE IS
 TOO CHEAP, SAYS
 JUDGES CHARGE
Too Many Killings In County, EtoWah Grand Jury Is Told By Judge
 E. 0. Steele

Gadsden, October Especial )- The Etowah county grand jury of the circuit court was organized this morning by Judge F. o. Steele, who delivered a splendid charge to the jury, and in which he began by call ing the attention of the Jurymen to the condition of unrest that is pre- vailing all over the country at this time, with the large number of men who are out of work and others clamoring for increase in wages, and feeling of disregard for others that has been created, the lack of which has never been seen before, and which he hoped would never pre- vail; again.
 Continuing, he said. Human life is getting too cheap, and there are entirely too many killings in Eto- wah county. However, there are cases where the evidence is insufficient to warrant returning an indictment for first degree murder.
 t"As to the misdemeanors, this rests largely with the jury. unless weap- ons have been used, in which case you should indict. Heretofore it has been customary for the minimum fine of $10 to be assessed for selling cigarettes to minors. In the future this win not be the case.
 "The state automobile law has been violated with impunity. Reckless driving on country, roads with to- tai disregard for the safety of others, children under 16 who are permitted to drive without proper escort, and driving past churches and schools at speed of over eight miles per hour are all violations of this law and in- dictments should be returned where the evidence warrants"
 The carrying of concealed weapons was held as largely responsible for the majority of homicides and the 1 jury was instructed to deal firmly | with such cases. Election betting | also came in for it's share of cen sure and action was asked for where such violations were found. In re- 1 gard to gaming the jury was in structed to begin with.the men higher up, and then take care of the negro 1 craps shooter.
 l Calling attention to the violations of the prohibition laws he asked for 1 a strong hand in enforcing them. 1 and stated that in spite of the high i licenses and police protection the i traffic had not been controlled.

William Fauntleroy of Virginia says:

George Washington was the John
D. Rockefeller of his day-so far as
wealth goes. John d. once said he
would rather lose thousand dollars
than be cheated out of nickel. Well,
George evidently felt the same way;
at least his letters so indicate. Yet
he accepted no pay as soldier, and
spent $4,000 lat leasD Of his own
money. He was generous as he was
keen to get what was his. He de-
lighted in good bargain. AS for eff
clency, it was his middle name. There
never was q better farmer and bust
ness man, and Mount Vernon was
model plantation.
George Washington proved himself
regular fellow in these ways, among
others:
He played cards, and ordered a
dozen packs at time; one of his ac-
counts contains the item: Lost at
cards, s shllings."
He drank wine. beer. rum and
brandy-always in moderation.
He loved horses, and imported fine
stock.
He was fond of fox hunting; his
pack of fox hounds was famous; he
wore the latest and best In hunting
clothes.
He loved to fish. to shoot ducks and
to hunt deer.
He wore good clothes, and insisted
upon having them to his liking in
every detail.
In short, the real George Washing
ton was not the mythical Washington
who has been foisted on the American
school boy of past generations. The
marvel is that so human an American
was ever so mummifled In land like
America They couldn't do 1t to
George when he was alive. And 1t will
never happen again.

was necessary, rose in her seat and

the character of the "Father of His
Country"
And it Is better understanding.
For the earlier literature and history
relative to him threw about our mill
tary hero of the Revolution and our
santliness and perfection that he
hardly seemed human being. There
was gasp of establishment when
gimpses Of the real George Washing
ton began to appear. Nobody's feel
Tugs were hurt. The American likes
ais national heroes red-booded. The
public was soon asking for more OF
the same, thank you. 1t got more.
And when at last 1t became evident
that George Washington had the maxi
ings of "a regular fellow" II all the
truth were known, the American peo-
pie were simply tickled to death and
the hero of the cherry-tree fable forth
with took his rightful place in the
great American heart.
Now we know lot about the real
George Washington, and every now
and then something new sees daylight.
There is now no danger that the awe
some mantle Of superhuman perfec-
ton will ever again be thrown over
him. The Americans of the future
can know the real man.
And this is the added Joy Of revela-
tiOn, The disclosure of the mans
real nature but adds to his greatness.
With each disclosure the marvel of
the greatness of the man grows. That
he could be so human and so great
adds to his country's pride in him.
There is an old saying that no man
Is hero to his valet. 1t Is one of
those self-evident truths that we &C.
cept instinctively. Yet II Is safe
wager that the written words of To
bias Lear are true. After Washing
tons service as President and his re-
turn to Mount Vernon, his CORE
spondence became so burdensome that
he employed Tobias Lear, a native of
New Hampshire and graduate of
Harvard. as his secretary.
George Washington is, I believe"
Lear wrote after two years at Mount
Vernon, "almost the only man of ex-
allied character who does not lose some
of his responsibility by an intimate
acquaintance. l have never found a
single thing that could lessen my re-
spect for him. A complete knowledge
of his honesty. uprightness and can
dor In all his private transactions has
sometimes led me to think him more
than man"
Uncounted Americans have Rugged

that General Washington got so ex-

Gen. Charles Lee at the beginning of
the battle of Monmouth Q77S) that
he cursed Lee to his face till 1.-The
leaves curled upon the trees" and then
rode his beloved white horse to death
in averting disaster. George was the
original Sheridan at Winchester that
day. That George Washington could
see red and swear so completely that
the army was satisfied is pretty good
stuff in most parts of the U. S. A.
The truth is that George was con-
siderable of fighter, and it's a good
guess that he wasn't exactly unhappy
during the scrap. He got his preim-
