Wealthy Gertie Gvrmaa,
Courted Ten Years by

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Charles
Webb. the young New Yorker, who
waited ten years for wealthy Gertie
German to say Eyes" to his suit to-
day found himself facing inquiries
ten months after his marriage to
her.
Charlie Webb was waiting again
today waiting for the delayed re-
port of the chemists who are analyz-
ing the contents of Mrs. Webb's
stomach to see whether or not there
is any truth in the charges Of her
relatives that Sc was drugged to
death. The friends of the husband
say he is stunned by the suspicious
as to the manner of his Wife's death
but is calmly confident that the
chemists will sweep away all of the
mystery and show that Mrs. '. ebb,
twice a millionaireess, die of
natural causes
1t was disclc~ed today that back
of the inquiry are some of the most
powerful influences in this city.
Justice John f. Mcintyre, of the
court of general sessions, is endeav-
oring to clear up the case. Judge
and Mrs Mcintyre, old friends of
Mr.. Webb, were with her when she
died.
Judge Mcintyre said she tod him
that a great pat of her life had

friends always have cortended that

had not cared for the companionsip
Of men and had waited until she
was nearly forty years OF age before
she consented to matrimony. Webb's
persistence, extending over a decade,
broke down her natural aversion to
Wedlock.
Wedding a Surprise
Gertie's friends were so surprised
at her announcement that she was
to wed Webb that they openly avow
ed some unusually strong influence
must have been brought to bear
upon the woman whom they had
come to regard as confirmed spin
ster. Some of the friends were so
frank in their comments that they
became estranged. Mrs. Webb's rela-

STRANGE ROMANCE ENHANCES
MRS. WEBB DEATH MYSTERY

unsuccessful sutton for a great many
years, had known that he had adj
vised with Mrs. S. Jennings German,
her mother, about real estate ma
ters, but they regarded him as hav-
ing been definitely placed on the
plane of friend of the family. They
suspected no change of status even
after Mrs. German died some two
years ago.
But there was a change. Gertie
was left alone with her father. Webb
pressed his advantage after the
mother died and eventually broke
down his sweetheart's resistance.
That Mrs. Webb should have died
a little more than ten months after
her marriage, that she should have
executed a ten-line will leaving ali
her estate to the husband that the
dying woman should have expressed
misgiving as to the nature Of her
fatal illness, that she should have
made a death-bed statements to
friends of her recent unhappiness,
and that Webb should have remained
strictly out Of the sick room during
the last ten days of his wife's ILL
ness-all these facts and circum-
stances led her friends and relatives
into an hysterical outbreak of sus-
picions. and accusations.
Deserted by Friends
Still living in his fatherin-law'
palatial Madison avenue home, Webb
complained today that he had been
Stunned at the funeral Saturday. He
was not surprised, however, to get
a request to confer with the New
In
question him as to his married life
and his knowledge of the various i'll
nesses which led to his wife's death.
The authorities admit that in the alb
sence of a definite report from the
chemists they have nothing upon
which to proceed. In view Of the
suspicious expressed so freely by her
friends and relatives however, they
were certain Webb would want to
tell his side of the story.
The chemists report may not be
read yfor several days yet, but mean
while the relatives who were made
the main beneficiaries of Gertie Cor
mans 100000 estate under a will
signed prior to her marriage have
come to New York to make war
against any part of the estate pass
ing to Webb.
Webb is fighting single-handed
against those who would tear him
down. The few friends he had, he
says. seem to have deserted him.
Only his counsel remain true and
steadfast. The relatives, say that
even if Mrs. Webb died an entirely
natural death, her statements as to
her married life were sufficient to
warrant a contest of the will, giving
all of her property into the hands Of
her husband
In all the prospects of the case it
promises to be one Of the most mys-
FERROUS in the annals of this state.

100000 MORE IN
REVENUE IS SEEN
FROM GASOLINE TAX

Officials OF the state of Georgia
estimate that more than $2,000,000
additional revenue will be derived
by the state from the Mann gasoline
tax meaure, which went into effect
Monday. The bill increases the tax
on gasoline from one cent to three
cents per gallon, and coincident
with its application, dealers raised
the price of gasoline two cents all
over Georgia. The price in Atlanta
jumped from twenty cents to twen-
ty-two cents per gallon.
The state last year received $780,
1000 from the one-cent tax on gas
oline. 1t is estimated that the con-
sumption will increase to a large eX-
tent during the ensuing year, and
that the new tax will run from ST.
100000 to 100000. Representa-
tives B. F. Mann, of Glynn county,
author of the new measure, est1-
mated that his bill would bring in
$4,000, 900.
The one-cent per gallon that has
been going into the general fund
for the last two years will continue
for the next three years, until the
of the Western and Atlantic rentals,
used to pay pensions under the adj
ministration of Governor Hardwick.
One cent will go to the various coun-
ties in proportion to their state road
mileage. to be used by the county
authorities upon any public road
they designate. The third cent will
60 direct to the state highway de-
partment for construction purposes
on the state road system
Officials declared that no new en-
forcement machinery was provided
for in the Mann bill: However, ). j.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture
has instructed all oil inspectors to
cooperate with tax collectors by re-
porting the number of gallons Of
gasoline shipped into the state, in
order that, none of the gas may
escape taxation, it was stated.
The increase of 2 cents per gallon
on gasoline in Ati&Slta places the
price back where it was few weeks
ago. 1t has been only a short time
since gasoline sold for rs cents in
this city.
"Of course, the large consumers
of gasoline will suffer some from the
tax" Representative Mann argued
in the legislature, "but when it Is
considered that all the coast states
from Virginia to Florida are now
levying cents per gallon on gaso-
line, and nearly all the other states
are moving this tax up to cents.
and that the Georgia consumers IL
most instances pay the same price
for gasoline as these adjoining states
without the state getting the reve-

the levy as reasonable and fair. Els

no was released. No formal arrest
was made, O'Keefe going first to
the offices of C.. Vernon Elliott and
A. r. Williamson, his attorneys, ana
from there to the sheriff's office to
arrange bond.
Leaving Augusta in an automo-
bile which he hired, O'Keefe went
to Columbia, S. c., caught train
to Greenville, went from there to

From Ell Paso, O'keefe went to

After remaining in Juarez about
ten days, O'Keefe went to Tamp1co,
Mexico, sailing from there to
Havana, Cuba. From Havana he re-
turned to Augusta by way of Flor
ida, leaving Cuba last Friday morn
ing and arriving here late last night.

that the consul there had been
asked by the sheriff of Richmond
county to apprehend O'Keefe.

offices of his attorneys Monday
morning. He appeared in the best

humor, declaring that he was glad
to get back to Augusta.
O'Keefe and his attorneys had no
statement to make as to the
larceny charges against him, as
their Immediate concern is the pend
ing bankruptcy case. A petition in
bankruptcy was filed against
O'Keefe a few days after he left,

petitioners beir~ Barrett & Co.,
which firm alleged that O'Keefe
was indebted to them for 400 bales
Of cotton he had misappropriated at
the warehouse and for $4,000 in
overdraWn salary. The other two
claims were for small amounts.
Messrs. Elliott and Williamson, in
their reply to the petition admitted
insolvency, but Judge Joseph Gan
all, referee in bankruptcy, declined
TO adjudicate O'Keefe a bankrupt be-
cause of the absence of the alleged
bankrupt.
The warrant against O'Keefe was
sworn out by Roy Elliston, receiver
for Barrett & Co., and at the same
