PHYSICIAN s WIFE
KILLED BY TWO
BLOWS ON HEAD

BiRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 1S.-Al
though Mrs. Annie Lou Edwards
was chlOroformcd and may also have
been given powerful drug, blows
lures were the actual cause or death.
This was revealed Thursday fol-
lowing the autopsy held over the
body of the Doctors wife, who was
murdered while She slept early on
the morning of December .. Her
husband, DR.. George L. Edwards, is
charged with the murder.
One Of the fractures was in the
temple and was visible from the out
side, but there was a more serious
fracture behind the right car which
was not visible from the surface and
which showed that she was struck at
least two terrific blows.
Further developments of the
autopsy will depend on the chemical
analysis of Mrs. Edwards stomach
now being made by DIR. B. 3. Ross,
state chemist, at Auburn. This may
not be completed tor several days.
DE- Ross analysis will determine
whether or not Mrs Edwards was
given d powerful drug, for the pur-
pose of rendering her unconscious,
before she was chloroformed, as sus.
peCted by the state. This drug is not
d poison, but is what is known as
d hypnotic" and induces heavy
sleep
Suspicion that Mrs. Edwards was
drugged was aroused when drug
gist reported having sold the
"hypnOtic" to Dr. Edwards the day
before the murder. Edwards might
have given it to his wife in medicine
or in some other way, it is believed
ana the autopsy was ordered to de.
tcunne this. If shown that Mrs
Edwards was drugged, ibis would be
used by the state as additional proof
the murder was carefully planned
Dr. Edwards and his attorney
George Ross, have made no com
ment ON the Indictment returned
Tuesday, the autopsy and the recent
reports that Mrs Edwards was
drugSed and that the man who sold a
revolver to DR.. Edwards had been

dict of $40, 534, 109.07 for the plaintiff

COOLIDGE STUDIES
AGR|CU[TU NEEDS
WITH FARM HEADS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

/
right, 1924
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Presi-
dent Coolidge save a considerable
part of his day to the discussion of
agriculture.
Judge r. w. Bingham, of Louis
Vile. chairman of the National Coun-
ell of the Cooperative Marketing
Associations of America, had a Ions
conference with the president which
was followed by another between Mr..
Coolidge and A. c. Hardison. of Santa
Paula, Cal, president of the Califor
MIA farm bureau, and r. n. Wilson,
president of the American cO-opera-
tive society of California, the latter
two having been granted an engage
ment at the request of Gray Silver,
the head of the American farm bu
reau.
| Judge Bineham's visit had moth
ing to do with that of the other
two cooperative farm leaders, MS
discussion covering mainly the I'M
portant conference that IS TO bc
held on january of all the prlncl-
pal cooperative OrganizatlO IN the
farm world. Judge Bingham has
associated with him on the national
council such men as Carl Williams
of Oklahoma; Aaron Saplro, OF Can
fornia; Dan Wallace, Of st. PAU,
Mimi. and Frank Q. LoWden, OF
Illinois.

Legislation Expected

BY coincidence the agricultural
commission appointed by President
Coolidge to investigate the whole
farm problem resumes it sessions
here on January 5th SO there is no
doubt that the co-operatives and the
commission will exchange thoughts.
In fact from that time on something
tangible in the way of a legislative
problem may be expected for the
leaders of congress will then have
full opportunity to know just what
is the opinion of the leaders of the
agricultural industry on the meas
ures pending in congress for farm
aid.
Judge Bingham naturally did not
wish to discuss his visit with the
president. 1t was stated by White
House officials that the president
wanted to talk over the whole prob
lem of agriculture as it relates to
the co-operatives and prepare his
mind for the discussions which are
to come after the first of the year
Want Hoover for Secretary
AS for Messrs. Harrison and VIII
son, of California, they came on an
errand which is of quite as great inn
portance to agriculture, namely the
selection of an able secretary of agri-
culture. They emphasized to the
president that they hoped he would
appoint a man of the mental calibre
and energy and vision of Herbert
Hoover. They think agriculture is
the greatest single industry of Ameii-
ca and should have d business mind
working on it. They have been i'm
pressed with Mr.. Hoover's indie
fatigable labors in the department
of commerce and they have assur-
ances from some of the men who
cherish war time prejudices in con
nection with the fixing of the price
of wheat that if Mr. Hoover would
work as hard in the department OF
agriculture as he has in the depart
ment of commerce they would have
no objection to his appointment.
The president of course realizes
the value of Mr.. Hoover in the de-
partment of commerce and would
be loath to transfer him. The Incl
dent indicates, however, how inn
portant the agricultural interests of
the country regard the filling of the
portfolio of agriculture in the cab
