Couples Skull Crushed
In Birmingham S Latest
Ak Assault Mystery

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. "a
Birmingham's long list of ak muir
ders and assaults was added to this
morning, when Luig Gitellaro, for
ty-two, and his wife, Josephine,
thirty-two, were found by a milkman
with skulls crushed and in an I'M
conscious condition in their little
shop at Eighth avenue and Twenty
fifth street. They were rushed to a
hospital, where it was stated they
probably would not recover. An ak
was the weapon used, according to
investigating officers. ...
The milkman discovered the bod
les at $50 o'clock. Police said the
assault had been made six or eight
hours before the discovery. Neither
Gitellaro nor his wife had regained
consciousness at the hospital, and
there were few clues left for the in
vestigators.
On Mrs. Gitellaro's hand there
were, several rings, including a val
liable diamond. Robbery was prob
ably not the motive of the attack, it
was said, although the mans peck
cts had been turned out.
The ex assault list reached "A with
the attack upon Gitellaro and his
wife, police stated. Nine of the "a
died from effects of injuries. These
crimes, so similar in nature as to
be classed by authorities as lax
murders" and "ax assaults" cover
a period since the summer OF 1871,
with the exception that two persons
were slain in 1919. In 1921, there
were ten assaults and three deaths;
in 1922, there were recorded eight
attacks and three deaths, while so
far this year there have been four
assaults and one death.
In all but three cases, the victims
have been foreigners or persons OF
foreign extraction.
Other ak attacks, including six
alley assaults. in which negro Wom-
en- and white men were victims, also
have ben recorded, but these are be-
lieved by police to have been the
work of an organized gang of ne
groes, which so far has not been
connected with the AK murders and
ak assaults upon foreigners and 9th
er merchants.
Few arrests have been made and
no conviction has resulted in any
case. Two negro men are now I'M
der Indictment in connection with
one attack. but the evidence against
them is said to be not of convinc-

BROWN AND SOULE
BURY Ratchet At
MEETING IN ATHENS
Agriculture Commissioner
Promises WhoIehearted
Support to Move for Great
or State Funds for College

ATHENS, Ga, Jan. 24.-Dlffer-
ences between the two principal ag-
ricultural agencies in, Georgia, the
state department and state college,
were swept aside here Tuesday when
y. J. Brown, state commissioner OF
agriculture, pledged his wholehearted
Import to DR.. Andrew M. Soule,
head of the college, in securing an
appropriation from the general as
sembly sufficient to further the work
of the educational institution.
Commissioner Browns address on
the Program for the State Bureau
of Markets in 1928" was delivered at
the noon session of the annual farm
ers' conference fostered by the state
College of Agriculture, which IS a.
tracing the attention Of business
men and farmers of the state this
week.
81 pledge you, Doctor Soule, my
best efforts towards getting the
state legislature of Georgia to pro-
vide sufficient money for her state
agricultural college. Furthermore,
I, am here to offer you my heart
and hand in token of full co-opera-
ton with your institution
partisan politics so far as they
concern the farmer, are dead" con-
tinued the speaker. The great bust
ness interests, not only of Georgia,
but of the nation, are aroused as
never before, and partisan cliques
and affiliations, I believe, have made
up their minds that every institution
which receives money from the
hands of the public must get togeth-
err in a spirit of full cooperation for
the benefit of the farmer and the
laboring man.
POSSIBLY at no time in history has
s much depended on the State Col
lege of Agriculture" continued Mr..
Brown in praising the work of that
institution. Georgia's interests IN
agriculture are paramount. the
State College of Agriculture realizes
that interest, and it is doing a great
work il promoting them.
"The agricultural college is ont
teachings the people to raise two
blades where one grew before; it is
teaching them to raise ten blades
where one formerly grew. You peo'
ple," he said, turning to address DR..
Soule directly, have added millions
and millions to the wealth of the
state by teaching intensive cultiva-
| ton and production

Z CONFESSED CRIME

MEMPHIS, Jan. 23.-John w.
Hudson, Jr., White Haven, Tenn,
dairyman, was found guilty today
of murder in the first degree in con-
nection with the Staying of Mrs.
Hattie B. Ferguson, of Memphis,
with whom Hudson was alleged to-
have been infatuated.
The verdict of the jury returned
after deliberation of little more
than an hour, carried with it death
sentence. n,
The verdict was reached, it was
stated, after three ballots had been
taken by the jury. AS first returned
the verdict merely declared Hudson
guilty as charged" Under instruc-
tons of the court that the degree
of the crime be fixed in the verdict,
an amended finding was returned
specifically declaring Hudson gull
ty of murder in the first degree"
Hudson heard the verdict with
an appeal was Immediately filed.
The return of the verdict brought
to an end one of the most sensa-
tional hearings ever conducted in
criminal court here which was
brought to an unexpected climax
with the declaration of Hudson on
thn ste Int
which killed Mrs. Ferguson was
fired by his father, j. w. Hudson,
ST., and later by the admission of
the elder Hudson that he held the
pistol at the time the fatal shot was
fired ....
Although John w. Hudson, Sr,
father of the youth, made the dra-
matte declaration during the trial that
he and not the son was holding the
pistol when the fatal shot was fired,
no warrant for the arrest of the
elder Hudson had been issued today.
The defense yesterday closed its
case abruptly with the testimony of
the elder Hudson, and argument was
begun, the state holding to the the
DRY that the younger man killed the
woman and attorneys for the de-
Tense pleading for his acquittal, on
the evidence of the father and son.
Attorney General Bates, in his
cross-examination of the father, di-
rectly charged that the father was
not at the scene of the killing, and
that the story told was a merely
trumped-up one to try to get his
son off,"
The elder Hudson, testifying for
the defense, declared that at the
time Mrs. Ferguson was fatally
wounded he was in possession Of the
pistol, which the woman had given
him moment before, but that his
son and Mrs. Ferguson were scuf-
fling with him for it and that the
bullet was fired accidentally. Hud7
son said that he came upon his son
and the woman in woods. I'D
"She handed me pistol and said
Daddy, take this and kill us BOTH"
the aged man declared after his son
had testified that his father fired
the fatal shot. II took the pistol and
it was discharged, the bullet going
wild. They scuff1ed with me for pos
session Of it, and it was fired a sec
ond time, mortally woundinS Mrs
Ferguson"
