Rigid Paralysis Partly
Relieved by Operation,
Is Claim of Surgeons

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-An operation
which may offer a partial cure for
rigid paralysis was performed here
Tuesday by DIR. J. G.. Hunter, pro
fessor of anatomy, and DR.. n. D.
Royle, orthopedic surgeon. Both
men are attached to the University
of Sydney, Australia.
Dr. Hunter, who is q years old,
is reputed to be the discoVerer Of the
method whereby the operation is per
formed, in which he was assisted by
Dr.. Royle.
1t was explained that the operation
is only effective in cases of rigid pa
ralysis where the patient suffers
twisted or defOrmed limb, which he
is unable to control. The surgeons
sever from the spinal branch the
nerves that cause the rigidity of the
muscles. The limb is then loOsened
and can be controlled only by actual
thought. No reflex action remains
and the limb must be educated to
function as does a baby's hand.
In no case, it was pointed out, can
the new treatment be attempted
upon patients whose mentality has
been destroyed, since only by mental
control over the effective member
can it be educated back to useful
ness. Both surgeons emphasized
that they do not remove the cause
of para lVSiS

| WARRENTON, Ga, Oct. 15.-Aft-
er celebrating Is hours, the jury in
the case of Eugene Snyder and
! Charlie Hathaway, charged with the
murder of Hattie Wimberly, of Au-
gusta, returned a verdict of guilty
| with recommendation to mercy at
10 o'clock this morning. The YER
dict automatically prescribes life inn
prisonment.
1t is understood that the defense
will appeal the case.
Early Wednesday morning Judge
f. T. Shurley recharged the jury at
it's request and after celebrating a
few hours a verdict was reached
Both defendants claimed the kill
ing of Hattie Wimberly was an &C
cident, Snider admitting to the &C
tual homicide. He said that his re-
volver was discharged accidentally,
AID that he with the assistance of
Hathaway, then carried the body in
a car to point about 20 miles from
the scene of the killing and threw
it into the Ogeechee river.
Hathaway claimed that tbs killing
took place while his back was turned,
but that he heard Snider say imme-
diately after the shot that it was nm
accident.
The state contended that the mo-
tive for the killing was to remove d
damaging witness in event the de-
PENDANTS were ever prosecuted for al
legged illicit traffic in liquor.
Nine witnesses were introduced
for the state. They testified that
Snider and the girl had had an all
tercatiOn in Green county, prior to
the WOman's death, in which she
was badly beaten, and that she later
sWore out a warrant for Snider at
| Greensboro.
Other witnesses testified that on
! the Sunday before the killing Snider
and Hathaway had remarked in
their presence that unless the girl
refrained from talking that they
would put her in the river. The
state then introduced expert testi-
mony that the pistol used in the
killing could not be fired by having
the hammer struck, which caused
the defendant to change his pre-
viOusly published statement as to
/ how the accident occurred.
The state closed, and the defense
put Hathaway on the stand to make
his statement, in which he exon
Grated himself and explained thai
Snider had accidentally killed the
woman while he had his back turn
ed, but that he heard Snider say
Immediately after the shot was fired
| that it was an accident.
| Snider then took the stand and
tearfully related the relations that
| had existed between him and the
woman. He told how he had taken
| her to the home of Blum Thomp-
| son at sunrise the morning she was
| killed. After arriving there he
went to take his pistol from the
car and in some unknown way il
| had fired and killed her, he said. He
stOutly maintained his innocence,
stating it was an accident and couId
not have been avoided and that he
| should not be held TO account

to his advanced age, little hope was
held for his recovery. He was
Confederate veteran and we'll known

Gently defeated for reelection as
pension commissioner by Colonel
John w. Clark, of Augusta.
Major McGregor was eightyfour
years old.
Major McGregor was born in War
rem county, and has always lived
there. He was a mere youth when the
War Between the States broke out,
but enlisted in the Eighth Georgia
regiment, and soon rose to the rank
OF lieutenant. He took part in many
battles, and for his efficiency an4
valor was promoted until he attained
the rank of major. His commission
as colonel reached him on the day
before General Lees surrender at
Appomatox, but as he did not serve
in that capacity, he retained the title
of major through life.
After the war, Major McGregOr re
turned to Warren county, and joined
with thousands of other GeOrgianS
in an effort to rebuild his farm and
Irehabilitate the south. He always
manifested great interest in politics.
and had served as representative Of
his county on several occasions, AMI

Major McGregor was always a

notable trials in the annals of the
state, when Major McGregor was az

WOMAN NOMINATE
BY DEMOCRATS FOR
WYOMING GOVERNOR

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 15,-By
the Associated Press
always regarded as a typical western
state, today was slowly recovering
from the shock of witnessing the
nominat zion for governor of a wom-
an, Mrs Nellie Tayloe Ross, widow
of Gov. William E. Ross, by the Dem
ocratic state convention here yes
terday.
even less surprised than the recipient
of the honor herself, who late last
nj CHIT had not recovered sufficiently
from her surprise to enunciate any
political policies or plans other than
an often repeated desire to Garry
on" as her husband had and to an
nounce definitely that she would not
make an active campaign.
ParadoXical as Mrs. Ross nomina-
ton may have seemed to a typical
frontier commonwealth, a glance
into Wyoming history makes it APP
pear logical sequence of events; for
the territory. of Wyoming in 1869 was
the first territory or state in the
union to extend the privilege of the
ballot to women. Despite this fact,
however, Mrs. Ross is first woman
ever to be nominated for such high
office in the state.
The Democratic nominee has ex-
pressed desire that sentiment sur
rounding her recent bereavement not
be allowed to enter into the cam
paisn. She declared herself willing
to have the campaign fought out
with her Republican opponent, Eu-
gene j. Sullivan, of Basin, Wyo.,
along party lines and on party mer-
its only.
Although Wyoming is normally a
Republican state, only twice electing
to the governorship candidates of the
Democratic party, Democratic lead
e S today regarded as more than 4
remote possibility a split within Re
publican tanks as a result of Mr.
Sullivan. S prOnOuncement against
the state primary law in his speech
of acceptance yesterday after the Re-
publican state convention had nomi-
mated him.
Men prominent in Democratic and
Republican ranks today were dis
cGssing the possibility that the wo"k
OF the conventions yesterday may
have been in vain. They point out
that the Wyoming statutes do not
provide for election machinery to
nominate candidates for office in an
emergency like the present one, due
to the death recently of Governor
Ross, and fear that an appeal to the
st"te supreme court by a dissatisfied
elector might result in multiplying the
ballots containing the names of the
newly chosen candidates.
