G. Quinn by his brother soldier at Fort McPherson, J. O. Brown. Betty, 18 years old, lived at 88 East Ellis street. Letters written from cities throughout the country attested her influence over men with whom she came in touch, the detectives said. It was the jealousy of one of these, it was said, which led to the stabbing of Quinn Wednesday night. Quinn -was reported gradually beeombujKdfeaker Friday and his death, accoramg to doctors at Grady, was likely at any time. Brown was in a military prison waiting the outcome of his former buddy's condition. In their search for the young girl, the detectives discovered a number of letters written recently, they said, law man (n irealnna /iUiah fV* MtVN ?*? v?iftsw?MP V?VlVO| HIV couched in endearing terms and pleading for Betty's love. One letter made public by the detectives was written several days ago by C. O. Johnson, of Lynchburg, Va. It was filed, it was said, with a - love strain and began, "My Sweet Mama," closing "Your Sweet Papa." It is to Johnson that the detectives Wv said Betty wired for $60 as soon as the stabbing occurred, It being her intention, they declared, to go to Lynchburg until this matter blew over. Another letter was signed "R. M." and came from Gainesville, Fla. It was signed "Your Loving Boy," and added in a postscript "A kiss and a grpr> big hug for you." *!ong. "Wednesday Brown came to se< Betty and told her then that shi would have to choose between the tw< of them as he didnt intend to hav< .two men going with her at the sami time.

Herbert H, Asquith, former pre ! micr, and Winston Spencer Churchill : colonial secretary i nthe Lloyd Georg cabinet, were the two principal fig ures engaging attention today. Mi Asquith, who had been rather slow ii ; getting into action, delivered his Are important campaign speech at Petex borough. His address was devote chiefly to criticising the coalition gov I i mmert's shortcomings and the ne> Bonar Law ministry. 'We have today the unusual spec : tacle of two authors of coalition! : Lloyd George and Bonar Law, writ ! ing rival epltaths to carve upon it i tomb," declared Mr. Asquith. j The speaker described the tw ; wings of the coalition, hitherto i the same stable, as now separate but still neighing wistfully over th temporary paling separating them ! He alluded to Reginald MvKemu former chancellor of the excheqps and now director of the London Cit: and Midland bank, as the sixth part in the election and declared he wa surprised to find him on a Tory plat ! form. Bonar Law's policy was chai I acterized as "when not negative gelatinous." Referring to the Laborite mani j fcsto, Mr. Asquith said Labor 01 I many questions spoke almost witl the same voice as the Liberals, bu Ihcir ultimate purpo; was gradus accomplishment of organized contrc of enterprise by the state over j greater part, if not the whole of th industrial field.

FACTA CABINET > HAS RESIGNED Rome, Oct. 27 (By the Associated - Press).?The Italian cabinet headed i by Premier Facta handed their res i isolations to the king: today, it was of; .icially announced this evening. ; The announcement had been ex. pected and therefore caused no surr prise among the people of Rome. 1 King Victor Emmanuel has requested - Premier Facta and his collegues ir. 1 the ministry to continue their routine I work until a new government has been constituted. Meanwhile the members of al lthe political parties I express the hope that no disorders t will result and that the various fac tions will permit the crisis to be solvr ed without any undue pressure. The king, who arrived in Rome to i night, received Signor Facta, who : gave the monarch a detailed report on the situation, both concerning the t cabinet and the frame of mind of the I public. He told the king that all nfeasores had been taken to endeavor to prevent any attempt being made I against the authority of the state and to repress any disorders that ? might arise. The police and military at Pisa, Siena and other places in f Tuscany have adopted precautionary i measures in view of the mobilisation of the Fascisti in that region. i The opinion prevailing in politica' 1 circles is that the Fascisti are mas ters of the situation and that a new cabinet can be formed only by them 5 or with their consent or participa tion. i The most authoritative predication ? seems to be that the new ministry r will be formed either by Dr. Benito Moussolini, leader of the Fascisti, or ? by former Premier Salandra with the ' -ollnhoration of the Fascisti.
