In a signed confession Forty said
he framed the robbery to cover the
theft. He said he went deeply in
debt last fall during his campaign for
reelection and had heavily mortgaged
tow houses he owned.
His friends believe his mind was
dcrangcd from worry over his finan-
cial obligations and his defeat for
reelection.
The police first became suspicious
when a private detective from Cleve.

A new trial has been granted fhe

Judge Z. A. Littleiohn in the case

which verdict Of $25, 600 for the
Sawyers was found by jury at the
last September torn Of that court.
Judge Littleioiln, who is Judge of the
Superior court, presided at this City
court trial for judge w. x. Harper,
who was disqualified.
The defense moved for new trial
on the ground Of insufficient eyi-
dence, among others. The decision
of the court granting the new trial
did not state what ground vas con-
sidered sufficient 10 warrant new
hearing.
The case, growing ont Of the de-
struction Of the Sawyer machine
shops on the Seaboard riehs-of-way
in Americas more tain a year ago,
required three days to try, and in
volved the calling Of many witnesses.
The saWyers sued for about St9,00o
damages from the railroad, contend
ing that the fire originated from q
locomotive setting FIRE to dry grass
about the building, this igniting the
building. Members of the Americus

Aunt Nancy Russell.
Faithful Negress, Dies

"Aunt" Nancy Russell, who was
so years old, died Thursday morning
at 7 O'Clock at her home on Forrest
street, where she had lived for a
long period of time.
She was one of the best known ne.
groes in this section of the state,
and earned the esteem of the white
residents of Americas through her
splendid character. For 35 years
Aunt" Nancy conducted restau-
rant on Forsyth street, for white
people only, and during this time her
fame spread abroad for her skill in
preparing foods for the public.
She belonged to the Warren fam
lily before the Civil War, andI in
the capacity Of servant, served this
family a long time. Her freedom
was secured while in their service,
but preferring to remain with them,
even after being emancipated, her
term Of service stretched out into a
. number of faithful years.
Her husband, ]. w. Russell, was
one of the best known colored citi~
zens Of Americus, conducting gro
Gerry business on Forsyth street which
was patronized by white people, as
well as people of his color, until his
death about ten years ago.
She leaves two sons and three
all Of whom reside in
Americus. One of her daughters,
Sue Westheimer, has been a teach
er in the Mckay Hill school, and is
still employed in teaching the chill
dren of her class the principles of
service and faithfulness which she
learned through her mother.
Aunt Nancy was buried Friday
afternoon at 2::30 O'Clock in the col
ored cemetery here. She had lived
a devout Christian life, respected by
all.

vatyc estimate.
This added to tiTc~'fDrr ard a 'iaf
billions cfargcablc to the great pow
ers gives us the very neat figure OF
six billions.
And remember these are inside, not
outside figures of what the people OF
the world are spending yearly IN
preparation for future wars There
are very large sums spent> by every
nation in other departments which
are directly traccable to armament
expenditures.
It would probably be quite safe to
add another half billion to the total,
making it six and a half billion.
In conclusion here is fact which
viii probably interest the reader as
keenly as it interested me and which
/ state without comment,
OF the total estimated budget of
Japan, 100000 for the fiscal
wear 1921-t922, nearly one half goes
TO the army and navy; nearly one
third, or $3.50, 100000 to the navy

three billion as a minimum.
