HUSBAND SHOT SONS.
Mrs. Hudson Tells Story of Her Life
Before Marriage to the Man.
(sy the Associated Press

ALBANY, Ga, July 20.-Mrs. Glenn
NJ. Hudson reiterated today her charge
that her husband killed her two sons
who were shot to death at the Hudson
home near here last week, and then
told the story of her life before mar
riage to Hudson, saying she left Co
lumbia, Alabama, to keep from hav-
ing the children taken from her.
The father. of the lads, Robert, ten,
and Isiah, four, was killed in France,
and she was left as their sole support,
she said. Some time last December,
she was quoted as saying, the chief
Of police at Columbia came to her and
told her he was going to have the
children turned over to some one else
to rear.
'Tu admit 1 wasn't living right, but
was providing for the children and
they were too young to know" the
account continued.
"That was why l left Alabama.
did not have anything to leave on but
I left and came to Georgia. Then
married Hudson and I've lived right
ever SINCE
The woman went on to describe how
she and Hudson had eked out a bare
living on the little farm near here and
described their hardships in a matter
of fact voice. Only when she spoke
of wanting to keep her boys did she
change the expression of voice or face.
She is about 25 years of age, but
CARRIED in a worn middle blouse and
faded skirt looked much older.
They quarreled violently the night
before the boys were shot she said.
She was to go to work next day in
a candy factory in Albany and she
said the quarrel started when she
asked her husband why he did not
leave the farm and get work in AL
bany.
Sheriff Tarver's relation of her hus-
bands charges that she shot the two
children was interrupted from time to
time by Lord, have mercy" and "the
truth 'aint in him" At its conclusion
she declared: you can keep me here
from now until doomsday, right here
in this jail and I'll still tell you that
Glenn Hudson killed my children. If
you was to tell me would walk out
here free the next minute If I'd change
what I've told you, I wouldn't bulge.
For I've been telling the truth"

BURNS Is GIVEN
HARD GRUELLINC
Chief Witness for State in Baseball
Trial is Roughly Handled.

CHICAGO, July 2o.-Bill Burns, the
states chief strength in the baseball
trial, today finished his story of how
he and others conspired with eight
Chicago White Sox players for them
to throw the 1919 worlds series to
Cincinnati. The admitted accomplice
in the alleged sell-out then withstood
three hours of nerve racking cross
examination by two defense attorneys
in which he fought a give and take
battle, never weakening IN the essen
tial facts of the story, although sew
eral times badly confused In incidental
details. His body was limp in the
witness chair, his eyes were half
closed, but his head was held back and
his answers still came clearly and de-
family despite a cataract of innuen-
does disparaging his remarks about
his mentality and character and other
bitter shots heaped on him by his
questioners.
After finishing his story of Cincin-
natl conferences between himself, Abe
Attell and Bennett whom he identified
yesterday as David Zelzer of Des
Moines, Iowa, defendant, Burns told
of further meetings in Chicago, of
how the players double crossed the al
legged ''fixers" by winning the third
game when they were not paid after
the first two and of how he agreed
with Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, and John Tyrell. as
sistant states attorney, to come to
Chicago and testify for the state. He
denied that he was paid other than
his expenses for his testimony or that
he was promised any reward and
stuck steadfastly to these statements
under cross examination.
He was turned over to james c.
"Ropes" O'Brien. Under O'Brien's ex-
animation, Burns first appeared hesi-
tant in his answers. After half an
hour of repartee in which he success
fully met O'Brien's wit and sarcasm
with replied equally as witty and sar-
castle.
After Mr.. O'Brien, Thomas Nasn,
representing Buck Weaver, took up
the examination.
He questioned Burns closely about
the hours of alleged meetings with the
indicted players. the distances between
and such details and at times Burns
was somewhat confused, once refusing
to answer further questions until told
to do so by Judge Frier i.
Asked about his statement, that he
told the ball players in a hotel room
in Cincinnati that he had 100000
for the series to be thrown" Mr.. o.
Brien asked him if he had not lied.
NO" said Burns.
But you didn't have 100000 On
your
II meant 1 could get" stated
Burns.
Answer yes or no." said O'Brien.
mo, I didn't have it."
1t was on such points as this that
Burns got in the most trouble during
the questioning. But when questioned
closely about the alleged meeting with
the players, the witness was not
shaken in his first story.

Bathing Beach on West Side Is Being

Third Youth Escapes.

Lieut.. Lestrange IN telling of the boys
startling story said Bruno and Sutton
together with a third boy who hap
pened to escape Clarks eye, came over
TO this city to go into the holdup busi-
ness.
sutton told me the three of them
have been planning this trip for some
time. In the grip belonging TO the
missing boy, who l understand is older
than either Bruno and Sutton. we found
an automobile blue book with a road
map all traced out in red pencil which
was to be the route followed by the
boys.
"The revolver which we found on
them was purchased only a few minutes
before Clark arrested them. They had
planned they said to go out tonight
and hold up the first automobile they
met on the road going South. The auto
mobile tags which they had in their
grip were going to be placed on the
stolen car and with the money they
would steal from the driver they pro-
posed to buy two more pistols which
would permit each of them to have
q weapon.
II have notified the relatives of both
boys in New York. In view OF the
fact that we actually have nothing on
the boys and they both seem to be
glad they were captured before they
got started with their crime programme
the boys will be booked only as rum
axays."

AMATLAN OIL BLAZE
PARTLY CONTROLLED
Two Wells Still Fiercely Burn
ing, but Spreading Is
Checked.

MEXICO CITY, July 23.-Fire in the
Amatlan oil fields. which broke out
Wednesday and caused property damage
estimated at several million dollars. has
been reduced to two wells, which still
are burning fiercely. Reports from
Tampico say the conflagration Is un-
likely to spread further.
PITTSBURGH, July 23.--Four thousand
men working at top speed In six hour
relays, are striving to prevent further
spread of the oil fire which. since last
Wednesday, has caused damage amount
ing to several million dollars in the
Amatlan oil field of Mexico. according
to advices received by Pittsburgh oil
companies operating in tho field. The
consensus is that the fire will not
spread beyond the confines of lot No.
1862, where 1t started" one message
said.
Morrison well No is wide open. ac-
cording to a despatch received by one
of the largest companies. and Is max
ing 10000 barrels a day. Most of the
oil is being consumed in midair, and
there Is very little drainage, thus lessen
ing the danger to adjoining properties.
Esohaucier well No. 1 is also burn
ing, but the valve has been partly
closed. There Is danger, however. that
the intense heat will melt the valve, in
which event the full force OF the oil
being pushed up from below will add
materially to the flames.
Twenty-four boilers have been set up
not far from the fire. and steam Is
being forced into the oil as it spouts
from the casing. All the other derricks
on the lot have been burned down. but
the fire fighting forces have succeeded
in covering the wells with mounds OF
earth. and General Superintendent Nc
Nabb Of the Aquila Company. who has
taken command of the forces. does not
think they will be ignited. Another en-
couraging feature, the message said.
was that the draining of oil was In
such q direction that there was little
danger to the main part of the field.
Not satisfied with the attempt to SNUFF
out the great burning torches with
steam, the fire fighters are driving tun-
nels so as to reach the wells under
ground, far below the flames, and shut
off the supply Of fuel to the fire above.
These tunnels, which are about six feet
square and must be some $50 feet long.
are being pushed forward at the rate
OF fifteen feet every day.
Only one pipe line has been affected
by the fire so far. the Island OIL and
Transport Company. 1t has now put n
force at work laying loop around the
destroyed portion of the line, and it Is
believed the interruption here will be
only temporary.
