BUFFALO MAN
DYING IN ATLANTA
Many men in many cities called
Betty Poules sweeheart, according to
detectives who arrcstd her Friday in
connection with the stabbing of F. 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."
*<St111 another, 'revealed by the detectives,
was signed G. John Jacobs, of
Camp Bragg, N. C. In one part it
contained this alleged poetry: "Wrote
with a pencil, but sealed with a kiss,
if you like me, you will answer this,"
There wa* also a post card bearing
'a picture of a building in New
York signed J. D. Seymour, which,
according to the detectives, pleaded
for come word from the Atlanta girl.
There were also many others, it was
v was. said. Quinn paid her attentions
and she accepted them. Brown became
jealous. There was not enough
room for both him and Qfuinn in Atlanta.
They fought in Betty's parlor,
Brown is under arrest at Fort Mcpherson.
Quinn is dying, doctors
fay, at Grady hospital
This was the story told Friday by
Pearl Thompson, also of 83 East Ellis
street, who was held at the police
station as a material witness. She
declared that she was not an eyewitness
to the stabbing but that she
knew all the facta regarding it.
"Brown told Betty not to go with
Quinn any more," said Pearl Thompson,
"and Betty promised him sh<
wouldn't. But she did. As soon at
Brown had gone, Quinn came to the
house and he and Betty went to i
movie. Then Brown came back am
waited for them and when they hac
come back he and Quinn fought ii
'001."
"Betty was Brown's regular girl,'
aha continued, "but she was groin;
with Quinn aid thought she was get

1Brown knew it all >!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

MURDER MYSTERY
IS CLEARING UP
I New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 28.?
Four hours after she witnessed the
i shooting of Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills,
, Mrs. Jans Gibson returned to the
scene and saw the woman she says
was present during the slaying bending
over the body of the rector weeping.
Mrs. Gibeon told Special Attorney
Mott that Mrs. Mills escaped the
i Assailants after the rector was killed
and was dragged hack and shot three
times.
New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 27 (By
the Associated Press).?"The HallMills'
case is complex, but it is not a
mystery." '
This was tho statement today of
Special Deputy Attorney General
Wilbur A. Mott, who has taken over
for the state the investigation of the
double murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mr$. Eleanor R.
Mills, choir singer, on the Phillips'
farm six weeks ago.
With an assertion by Mr. Mott that
he had found a witness to corroborate
at least part of the story told
by Mrs. Jane Gibson, farmer, who
claims to have witnessed the double
shooting and identified two mAnbers
of the death party, this crypt^Tstatement
constituted the chief development
of the day.
In connection with this mention of
a corroborating witness, a flurry of
excitement was caused by the appearance
in the case of a mysterious witness,
a pretty girl of 21, who in company
with state troopers spent an
hour near the scene of the murder.
Whither this girl came and whither
she departed remained a mystery. The
troopers admitted that they had taken
her to de Russey lane, leading to
the Phillips' farm, at the direction of
Mr. Mott, but they declinedKto say the
purpose of the journey.
They wandered up and dowh the
lane, which played so big a part in
Mrs. Gibson's graphic story. Whether
, the troopers brought the unidentified
\ girl back to town and she disappeared,
was not known,
i In connection with a report that
state troopers had been ordered to
i search for an antique motor car
i] the shooting, Mr. Mott Was asked if
I t. i.? .ci - .
i ne nma me numoer ox tne car.
"I have a combination of figures,
i but I don't know whether it is right,"
he replied.
"have you any description of "the
. car?"
i "Yes, but it is not very definite,"
he said.
' Q. "Have you any one watching
any car in any garage in this city?"
A. "If I answer that, I will be tell>
ing too much."
Q. "Have you any information on
> both the cars which Mrs. Gibson says
she saw?"
i A. "Yes."
Asked if he intended to make an ar.
5 rest or first go before the grand
j jury, Mr. Mott replied:
? "If my judgment prevails, the case
i will go before the grand jury."
|! "When?" the newspaper men ask1!
ed.
t "I wont say," he replied, "and 1
hope that when it does you won't
' know it."
j Q. "Could this case be taken before
. the grand jury now?"
r A. "It could be, yes."
Q. "Could you get an indictment?'
9 A. "I think so.'
5 Q. "Then what are you waiting
, for?"
5 A. "It is my judgment to wait."
i Q. "Are you following any othei
o lead besides that furnished by Mrs
e Gibson?"
A. "I am following every lead."
Q. "When in your judgment th<
k time comos for decisive action, wil
e you order an arrest or go before th<
e| errand iurv?"
A. MI don't know, but I should b<
e inclined to go before the grand jun
e unless something extraordinary de
g velops.'
e Q. "In New Jersey, with an eye
? witness story called creditable, wha
n corroborating evidence is needed?"
n A. "None legally, but it is a goo<
* thing to have."
In connection with his statemen
that he had found a witness substan
r tiating part of Mrs. Gibson's storj
t Mr. Mott was asked if he had learner
of another eyewitness being presen
n at the murder,
g "No," he replied.
* Q. "In your judgment, does the un
e supported statement of a person mos
I- interested constitute an alibi?"
A. "That it a matter for a Jury t
n decide."
>- Asked if he had any corroboratini
<1 statement as to Mrs. Hall's actions o
>? the night of the murder, Mr. Mot
said*
?f "I have evidence describing Mn
r. Hall's whereabouts for a eonsiderabl

POLITICS WARM
IN ENGLANI
London, Oct. 27 (By the Assoc!*!
ed Press).?The electiom campaigi
hat now reached a stage where ther
j is such a number of politics) speeche
, and pronouncements that it is be
! coming almost a physical impossi
bility for the newspapers either t
J report or follow them.
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. His own party Mi
I Asquith described as "few in numbe
--voices crying in the woldernessderiried
in debate andov erwhelrued i
the division lobbies." But he adde<
fought on and challenge an
1 other party with their record."

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.
All observers of the political situu
? tion agree that the ministerial crisis

d "The Fascisti at 11:30 o'clock (Frit
day night) began a concerted action
t on several towns. They are now
n masters of some of the chief towns
f like Florence, Pisa, Cremona. Communications
between North, South
and Central Italy have been interrupted."
"Everywhere in these towns they

16 command. It seems there was no reI
sistance and no conflict, except in
Cremona, where six Fascisti were

ie Rev. and Mrs. Christler were

on the railroad man to make s

impletely offset the freight charges.
