BECKW|TH CALLED
NUT" WHEN HERE
Deans Slayer Well Remembered
BY Labor Dept, Workers for
Eccentric Acts.

Prof. Holmes Beckwith, who kill
ed Dean John Herman Wharton. of
Syracuse University, and then COM
mitted suicide, was considered a
nut" by employees of the Depart
ment Of Labor, where he worked for
almost q year during 1915.
Eccentric actions of tho college
professor during tho time he was
there caused employees to remember
him distinctly. One Of his stunts"
was to build a log cabin nesr Cabin
John Bridge In which he lived while
employed by the Department Of
Labor.
Beckwith passed civil service eS-
animation for the position as special
Investigator, and entered tho service
on January 2, 1915, remaining until
September 30. According to the civil
service records. he was dismissed be-
cause he could not qualify for the
"He spent most OF the time tell
ing other employees of his education
and how the world was against
HIM" said ono OF the employees yes
terday who worked with him.
Worry over the fact that he was to
be dismissed from Syracuse Univer-
sity is believed to have unbalanced
Beckwith's mind. 1t was the NTH
time he had been similarly dismissed
from institutions of learning. He
was thirty-six years old.

MURDER FARM
TRIAL BEGINS
Planter Accused Of Staying Ne.
groes Nervous as Deputies
Guard Ga. Courthouse.

COVINGTON, Ga. April 6.-Fae-
ing trial on the first three charges
of completely in the murder Of negro
farm hands he had employed, John
Williams, central figure in Georgia's
most sensational death case, arrived
here early today from the country
Jail at Atlants, and was immediate
ly taken to the county courthouse,
where preparations had been made
to start his trial on q charge Of mur-
der in connection with the death Of
Willie Preston.
PRESTON WAS DROWNED.
Preston was one Of three negroes
whose bodies were found IN this
county in the Yellow river and which
led directly to the investigation which
resulted in discovery of a total OF
eleven bodies for former Williams
employees.
The additional ones were found
after Clyde Manning. another negro
farm hand. had confessed to COM
plicity in the killings and directed
officers to spots where the eight
others had been hidden.
Five Of these men were found
buried on the Williams plantation:
the others were taken from the Yell
low and Alcovy rivers in Jasper
county.
Even II williams should be so
fortunate as to escape conviction In
this county, other indictments are ex-
pected to be returned against him in
Jasper county.
One hundred veniremen. specially
summoned for this case, were on hand
early this morning when Judge
Hutcheson. of the Stone mountain cir
cult of the Georgia superior cohrt,
mounted tho bench. Special deputy
courtroom and patroled the streets
outside.
GOVERNOR sCoRNs TROOPS.
There have been rumors that trou-
BILE might develop during the course
of the trial. but Judge Hutcheson and
Governor Dorsey have expressed con-
fidence in the better citizens OF New
ton county and had scorned sugges-
tions that State troops be mobilized
here as a precaution.
Greene r. Johpson. counsel for John
Williams, asked for . continuance In
the trial Of Williams on a charge of
murder when the case was called and
Solicitor General Brand announced
the State ready for trial. Johnson said
be had not had time to prepare his
case.
The State scored its hrst point when
Judge Hutcheson overruled the de-
fense's pleas for q continuance.
Solicitor General Brand. in whose
hands will be the prosecution Of Will
liams, met the prisoner and shook
hands with him when he reached
the court house. Friends stepped from
the throng about the door and also
grasped Williams hand. He appear
ed very nervous.
The main floor of the trial room
was filled with white people. but no
women were present. Tho balcony
was filled with negroes.

is of interest to me that years later

still working on that handbook.
This seems to justify me In part
at least. Here again I suffered in
justice, but not SO marked, because
Miss Lathrop's advisers evidently
advised her that had a good case
against her. and could weaken her
position by giving 1t publicity In the
records.

DISPATCHES CONFLICTING.
No direct reports have yet reached
Berlin from America and the dis
patches from Paris and London are

The Taeklische Rundschau suggests
that the foreign office publish the

denies the statement published in
the Petit ParisieH that the American
note demands Germany's recognition
OF her war guilt.
Note: Secretary Hughes says In

lin: This Government stands with

Eclipse April 81 Will Be
Last Visible Here
Until 1881.

Persons born after April n. when
the moon will be eclipsed By the
passage of the earth between 1t and
tho sun, won't have an opportunity
themselves to see such q phenome-
non of the heavens until sixty years
hence, in 1881.
This information is forthcoming
today from the Rev. ]. Torndorf,
s. j., director of the Georgetown
University Observatory, whose ex-
amina tons OF the heavens reveal
that q full eclipse of the moon will
occur on the evening of April II
at IL o'clock. Scientists declare
1t will be the last opportunity for
middle-aged persons to witness an
eclipse as the next will not occur
until 1881.
Father Torndorf declares there is
nothing of scientific value in the
eclipse of April 81. as II will be
just like any other.

Bad Storm In
Kitts0n County

The very warm and sultry weather
that prevailed all last week was broken
last Saturday evening about o'clock
when the refreshing rain came. The
wind shifted suddenly and blew from
the north causing a welcome change in
the temperature. In southern KittsOn
county, east of the Great Northern
railway to an unknown distance, and
also in Marshall county north Of Ste
phen, the shifting Of the wind devel-
oped into a storm Of almost cyclonic
nature, that swept away or tore down
many farm buildings and did much
damage to growing crops. Later in the
evening some hail fell doing consider
able damage, although the territory
covered IS not believed to be extensive.
The crops on the farms Of Alfred Sand
berg and John Stone were greatly dam
aged. All the buildings on the Davis
farm near Donaldson, except the dwell
ing house, are reported blown away.
Damage was also done to farm build
ings and crops in Marshall county.
But the benefit from the rain more than
makes up from any damage caused by
the storm.
