BLAKELY, Ca, Sept. 16.-Sher-
if Sid Howell announced today he
has affidavits from two leading
physicians here, purporting to show
that Amos Hayes, formerly Of De-
troit, and his brother, James, came
to their deaths by poisoning.
This was the basis for his de-
mand that the bodies Of the two
men be exhumed for chemical
analysis, the sheriff said. The ex-
hnmation win be made some time
tomorrow. DIR. Edward L. Ever
hart, State chemist, Is en- route
here to take charge Of the exami-
nation.
1t was Doctor Everhart and DIR.
A. ]. Ayers, Atlanta pathologist,
who discovered traces of poison in
the body of Mrs. Gladys Hayes,
young wife OF Amos, and resulted
in q coroner's verdict Of homicidal
death by strychnine poisoning.
Meanwhile, Mr.. and Mrs. Harris

are held on murder warrants,
charging them with the death Of
Mrs. Hayes.
Small Insurance
A theory by police that the three
were poisoned to collect Insurance
policies, led to the discovery that
the total insurance carried by their
sons and daughter-in-law reached
only $3.50.
There have been five deaths in
the Hayes family under circum.
stances termed by authorities as
Suspicious" The first was over
two years ago, when an lS-year-old
daughter died. presumably OF self
administered poison.

death was attributed to old age at
the time, but DR.. y. r. StandiEer,

that the symptoms were somewhat
similar to those in cases OF astring

Strangely Stricken
In July James Hayes, 10, died
after violent illness OF two weeks
| duration. His Oldest brother, Amos,
%. came from Detroit to attend the
funeral. Hardly had the body Of
the younger brother been buried
than Amos was stricken by the
same mysterious malady.
Early in August Amos Hayes
died. Then his pretty widow,
Gladys, came from Detroit with her
baby to live with the parents. In
q few days she was stricken and
died. Physicians demanded an in

Why Not
Married
Partners!
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Hermann Of
New York, are attracting great
deal of attention because they have
announced that they will enter into
a partnership for the practice of
law. BY all of the discussion one
might think such thing had never
happened before. Authorities are
seriously discussing what they call
this innovation, and wondering how
it will turn out.
Now the thing may be strange
and unusual in New York, but out
where the hicks reside it's no great
sight. Every small town west of
the Mississippi has several business
houses where the wife works right
alongside of her husband. Papers
are edited with papa and mama
jointly engaged in the enterprise.
Stores are run, bakeries and res
taurantS and tailor shops and ga
RACES can be found by hundreds
where mother keeps the books, waits
on customers, pays the bills, collects
and generally contributes by indus
try, thrift and brains to the success
OF the business. Even law Offices
may be seen where wife and hus-
band practice together.
The only real innovation in this
New York affair is that there will
be two names instead of one on the
door,
Husbands and wives have been
working together, and very amicably
at that, for a great many wears

What Is It?

Now I happen to know that no
children are better cared for and
planned for and assumed as seri-
GUS responsibilities than the chill
dren of the two friends who laugh
at the old-fashioned sentimental

this reaction mean? Is it a pose
atune with an age which belittles
pure emotion? Is it honest evidence
that all. the to-do about mother
