Miss A. E. Williams Killed by Train.
Thursday afternoon of last week
Miss Annie E. Williams and little
nephew, Master Bartley Corley, sis
ter-in-law and son of Bartley Corley,
of tho Commercial, with Mrs. J. L.
Kelley, left Gainesville for Swan
nanoa, N. C., to spend the summer, as
had been* their custom for several
yea rs.
Shortly before noon Saturday the
following telegram, like a flash of
lightning from a clear sky, was re
ceived:
"Swannanoa, N. C.. duly 12, 1913.
- Bartley Corley. I.eesburg, Fla.:
Miss Annie Williams was killed by
train on trestle this morning. Will
leave here at 2. lo this p. m. if possi
ble.- Mrs. Kelley."
The details of the horrible tragedy
are described in the following
from the Gainesville Sun, except that
whatever struck bet caught in nor
hair and swung and threw her to the
opposite of th?? embankment. Her
hat fell off about half way, the bat
pin being bent about Hie shape of a
hairpin. She apparently fell to her
knees as she jumped from the rail
road, probably owing to a sprained
ankle, which had given ber consider
able trouble. The Sun says:
"The remains of Miss Annie Wil
liams, who for ten years or more
made her home in Gainesville with
Dr. and Mrs. .1. L. Kelley, and who
met a tragic death near Swannanoa,
N. C., last Saturday morning, passed
through this city Sunday noon via
the Atlantic Coast Line. Mrs. Kelley,
who left Gainesville last Thursday
happy in the thought that their out
ing at Swannanoa would be as pleas
ant as those of previous . ears, ac
companied the remains to this city,
but stopped here, the strain over los
ing one whom she so highly esteem
ed being so g>-eat as to make lt abso
lutely necessary that she have rest.
"Miss Williams, it will be remem
bered, left Gainesville on Thursday

t?me of Mb mother's death a fe? duya
following hie birth, and Mrs .1. L,
Kepi Thov stopped >i> A Seville on
f riday night, going to Swannanoa
on an early train Saturday morning.
Accompanying them wns Mrs. Kel
ley's sister, Mrs. Fannie Cheetham,
of Sandersville, (ia. They had rented
a cottage about a quarter of a mile
from tho station, and after having
attended to their shopping duties
preparatory to the first day's house
keeping, the party started for the
cottage. The wagon road runs on the
left side of the Southern railway
tracks for some distance from the
station, then crosses the railroad just
before a trestle is reached. The tres
tle is only about sixty feet long. Miss
Williams, lt seems, was some dist
ance ahead of Mrs. Kelley and sis
ter, and Master Corley and other
members of the party were ahead of
Miss Williams, having reached the
cottage. Miss Williams had walked
almost across tho trestle when the
ladies behind saw a train approach
ing at a high rate of speed. They
shouted to Miss Williams to get off
the trestle. This she did. but just as
she stepped down the embankment
the train reached the trestle, and she
either ((lipped and was thrown back
ward, or the suction of the fast-mov
ing train drew her toward it. At any
rate, some part of tho locomotive
the step on the side of the pilot, it is
thought-struck Miss Williams' head
The lady was hurled almost the dist
ance of the trestle, falling In a heap
against the opposite embankment.
The engineer of an engine which was
standing on a sidetrack nearby wit
nessed the tragedy, and jumping from
his engine, hurried to where Miss
Williams' b%dy lay in the under
brush. It was too late to do any
thing, her hack having been broken.
The anguish of the ladies who also
witnessed the tragedy from across
the trestle cannot be imagined when
'he engineer imparted the sad news
to them!"
Miss Williams was a (laughter of
the late Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Williams,
of Walhalla, S. C. After tho death of
her parents, about sixteen years ago,
with her sisters. Miss Matul (after
wards Mrs. Corley) and Miss Marv
(now Mrs. Cook), she came to Lees
burg to keep house for her brother,
W. D. Williams, who was then con
ductor on the Leesburg-Astor A. C. L.
train.
Mrs. Corley died eleven years ago.
leaving a little son only a few days
old, whom Miss Williams had since
cared for with all the love of a mo
ther, and ir. return received the same
love a mother would havo received.
Although the little fellow did not seo
the accident, a few seconds after
wards he was beside her lifeless
body.
A few months after ber sister's
death, her brother having been trans
ferred to tire High Sprlngs-Roehellc
run, she went to Gainesville ? and
made her home with Dr. and Mrs. J.
L#. Kelley, friends of the family,
where she had since lived. She was
a true friend and loved hy all who
knew her, a patient and loving foster
mother and sister, always ready and
willing to share the burdens of oth
ers.
She is survived hy her little ne
phew, Hart., to whom she was a mo
ther; two brothers, two sisters and
other relatives. One brother, W. D.
Williams, is conductor on the A. C.
L. between Palatka and Rochelle;
the other. John Williams, resides In
the WeBt. One sister, Mrs. Claude
Cook, lives in Miami, and one, Mrs.
Sarah Holland, in Washington. D. C.
Unknown but kind citizens of
Swannanoa made ii possible i>? Iv.ut

body arrived in Leosburg Sunday af

Kelley and daughter, Mrs. H. R.
Wilburn, and Master Hartley Corley,

"Cupid seems to have possession
of our wires," said Mr. Gates, "and
we are now training double the usual

difficulty In getting new girls, ar? the
telephone service is attractive to
them because girls get married, but

THE IMPEACH*
OF N. 1
Dual Government Follows,
Executive Office-Liei
Also Claiming Chic:
Mrs. Sulzer's Cc
Albany, N. Y.t Aug. 13.-William
L. Sulzer, of New York State, was
Impeached to-day by the Assembly.
This action raised a vital question
as to whether, under the constitu
tion, the Governor must vacate omeo
pending final adjudication of the Im
peachment issue by the Senate and
the Court of Apjieals, sitting jointly
as a trial court.
Indications are that he will con
test bitterly the theory of the oppo
sition that he becomes automatically
barred from exercising functions of
the office the moment the articles of
impeachment are formally presented
to the Senate, and that he will be
disqualified from resuming the du
ties of Executive until the court of
im peach men I falls to sustain these
cha rges.
'Phis afternoon, eight hours after
the Assembly adopted the Impeach
ment articles, tho Governor had
not announced his intention.
Smiles Cheerily,
When Mr. Sulzer reached the cap
ital he smiled cheerily to corres
pondents and posed for a battery of
camera men.
"lt's a fine morning, gentlemen,"
he said.
Lieut. Governor Martin H. Glynn
came into Albany from his summer
home during thc forenoon and went
to his newspaper office as usual. He
declined to comment on the situa
tion. If Governor Sulzer is deposed.
Mr. Olynh will automatically take
his place.
The fact that the various State de
partments and borealis are divided
in their allegiance to the Executive
and tho Democratic, organization
which is seeking to depose him stim
ull ?W interest in the com plicated sit
uation. The possibility of two men
endeavoring to discharge the func
tions of the Chief Executive at the
same time suggests a chaotic condi
tion that the courts alone will have
power to deal with.

AU-Mght Session.
The vote of 79 to 45 came after
an all-night session, and after the
Governor's wife bad made an elev
enth-hour effort to save him at the
risk ol sacrificing her own reputa
tion.
Mrs. Sulzer Makes Statement.
In the light of the revelation con
tained in Mrs. Sulzer's declaration
to Senator Palmer yesterday after
noon, Governor Sulzer's friends are
inclined to view the ordeal which
confronts him with less apprehension
than before his impeachment. By
her assertion that she diverted part
of the campaign contributions sent
her husband to private purposes
without his knowledge, and used
them to purchase stock In Wall
street she has shorn the articles of
impeachment of many of their ter
rors, his friends declare.
Governor Sulzer consented to per
mit Mrs. Sulzer's declaration to be
come public late last night only wl'ien
he found that he could not prevent
it, and that it lived as a rumor on
the Ups of every member of the As
sembly in the city.
Mrs. Sulzer must take the witness
stand In her husband's behalf 'be
fore the court of impeachment, tell
her story in detail and submit to ex
amination by hostile lawyers or take
the hazard that the impeachers will
prove their case, the Governor's
friends believe. Either her reputa
tion or her husband's, these friends
fear, must suffer. They say sho will
take the stand if she has no other
choice. They add that she besought
the Governor a week ago to permit
her to tell her story to the public.
The Charges Agniiisfi Sul/er.
The articles of Impeachment
against Governor Sulzer, as passed
by the State Assembly, make a docu
ment of over 4,000 words.
They charge tho Governor -vim
violating penal law? of the State, not
only In connection with the filing of
an improper and incorrect account
of his campaign expenses and divert
ing campaign contributions to the
purchase of stocks, but also In con
nection with his alleged efforts to
prevent witnesses from testifying be
fore the Frawley investigating com
mittee. He ls also charged with at
tempting to manipulate tho stock
markets by attacks on the exchange.
Substance of Articles.
The articles are In substance as
follows:

>ndition Serious.
$7,724; that this statement "was
false and was intended by him to
be false and an invasion and viola
tion of the statutes of the State;"
that his list of receipts failed to in
clude eleven specific contributions,
ranging in amount from $100 to
$2,500; that the Governor's false
statement made "wrongfully, wil
fully and corruptly," caused "great
scandal and reproach to the Gover
nor of the State of New York."
2. That Governor Sulzer attached
to his statement of campaign ex
penses an affidavit declaring that the
statement was In all resjiects "a full
and detailed statement of all moneys
received or contributed or expended
by him directly or indirectly; that
this affidavit, duly subscribed and
sworn to by said William Sulzer, was
false and was corruptly made by
him." and that he was "guilty of
wilful and corrupt perjury."
"Corrupt Conduct."
'A. That Governor Sulzer, "unmind
ful of the duties of his office, was
guilty of mal and corrupt conduct In
his office as Governor and was guilty
ol* bribing witnesses." The specific
charge ls that while the Frawley
commit too was investigating the
Governor's campaign accounts, he
"fraudulently induced" three wit
nesses (his campaign manager, a per
sonal flrend and a stock broker), "to
withhold their testimony, from said
committee," and that in so doing he
acted corruptly and he was guilty of
a felony.
"Suppressing K.videnco."
4. That the Governor was guilty
of "suppressing evidence" in viola
tion of the State penal code. The
specific charge is that, while the
Frawley committee was in session,

tent to prevent said committee from
producing the attendance and testi
mony of certain witnesses."
5. That the Governor was guilty

I 6. That prior to his election tue
Governor appropriated campaign con
tributions to his own use and "used
the same, or a large part the . r, in
speculating in stocks to brok jpe
rating on the N'ew York e.\i I ange,
and thereby stole such funds and
was guilty of larceny."
Among the contributors mentioned
are Jacob H. Schiff. $2,~>00; Abram
I. Elkus, $r?00; Wm. F. McCombs,
$"?00, and Henry Morgenthau, $1,
000.
7. That Governor Sulzer promised
and threatened to use the authority
and Influence of his office to affect
tho vote or political action of certain
public offices, including two assem
blymen.
8. That he corruptly used his au
thority as Governor to affect the
prices of securities on the New York
stock exchange, in some of which he
was speculating, upon a margin or
otherwise, recommending and press
ing for passage legislation affecting
the business of the exchange, "and
then by withdrawing, or attempting
to withdraw, from '.he consideration
of the Legislature such legislation as
was pending therein-all the time
concealing his identity in said trans
action by a subterfuge."
in conclusion, the Assembly de
mands that the Governor answer
concerning all these matters before
tho court which is to hear the
charges, and offers to present proof
of "the said matters at such time as
the honorable court of impeachment
may order and appoint."
Dual Government Set Up.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 14.-Two
claimants for the office of Governor
sat in the Capitol Thursday, each at
tempting to conduct tho State's af
fairs.
Sulzer In the executive chamber
received, without comment, the noti
fication of his impeachment. Glynn
in another room claimed the Gover
norship and tried to organize the de
moralized retinue of department
heads.
Mrs. Sulzer Collapses.
New York, Aug. 14.-Dr. Robert
Abrams, nervo specialist, left New
York at midnight, in response to a
summons from Governor Sulzer at
Albany to attend Mrs. Sulzer. The
wife of the Governor is said to be In
a serious condition as a result of
nervous breakdown over the turn
Sulzer's impeachment proceedings
have taken.
The Governor has told his advis
ers, it is said by those who claimed
to have knowledge of what transpir
ed at the night conference, that un
der no circumstances would he allow 1
Mrs. Sulzer to testify at the trial. It
was said, on the other hand, that
Mrs. Sulzer insisted, hysterically,
that she be allowed to testify in her
husband's behalf.
Grout Seal of Stute Loekcd.
Albany, Aug. 14.-The great seal
O' tho State of New York was locked
and chained this afternoon to pre
vent its unwarranted use. The seal <
ls in the office of Secretary of State
May. Mr. Glynn's confidants assert
that Mr. May will permit the Lieu- :
tenant Governor, but not Governor
Sulzer, to use it. The key is in pos- '
session of a ?eputy to Mr. May.
The question o, w-ho ls Chief Ex- i
eeutlve of the State o." New York still ?
was unsettled when the lights went
out In the Capitol to-night. Both
the Impeached Governo . and ' the
Lieutenant Governor ci;.lined to be
directing the machinery of the gov
ernment, and both spent a busy day
In 'heir respective offices with coun
sel and friends formt tating plans to
malntam their authority.
Meanwhile, the Governor's wife,
who is expected to le the star wit
ness at his trial, lies i t a critical con1
dit ion in .he Executive Mansion. Her
nervous collapse yesterday, which
was acr om pa ii led by hysUria, grew
so ser'ous this morning that l?:?* Gov
ernor sent to New York for two mo;*"
specialists. Mrs. Sulzer had a high
temperature and a rapid pulse dur- j
lng most of the day, but her condi
tion was reported as somewhat Im
proved to-night.
The whole machinery of State gov
ernment was demoralized to-day as a
result of the unique contest between
the rival Hannants for the Executive
office, and already the double exer
cise of authority has precipitated j
complications with two other States
-New Jersey and West Virginia
for whoso Governors Mr. Sulzer
signed requisitions for the extradi
tion for prisoners in the State of
New York.

GREENVILLE NEGROES ESCAPE.
Ktuke MorriH ?nd Alonzo SniitJi Flee
front State Penitentiary.
(Greenville Piedmont, 14th.)
Sheriff Hendrix Rector Inst night
received a communication from the
superintendent of the State peniten
tiary conveying information of the
escape from the penitentiary on Tues
day of Stake Morris and Alonzo
Smith, two negroes convicted in
Greenville county on serious charges
and sentenced to long terms in the
pen. Stake Morris was tried and
convicted of murder and was sen
tenced to death hy electrocution, but
i his sen ?once wa? hiter commuted hy
the Governor to life imprisonment.
He was resentenced to life imprison
ment at tho January, 1913. term of
Court of Sessions for this county.
Morris was one of a party of five
negroes Indicted for the murder. The
four other defendants were acquitted
of tho charge.
Morris, lt is- stated, bore a very
good reptuat.on and was well know.:
to a number ot* white residents of
Greenville, who. it is stated, made
more than one attempt to secure
from the Governor a pardon for him.
The m irder for which Morris was
convict' .1 occurred ?luring 1912 at a
"liol supper" near Pink Chappel's
(colored) store, on the outskirts of
\Vest Greenville. There was some
disorder in the place, and five ne
groes chased another member of their
race out into the street and it. was
here that the negro was shot and
killed. At the trial four of the ne
groes who vere also under indict
ment for the act testified that it was
Morris who fired the bullet.
This is the second esc i pe from the
penitentiary of Alonzo Smith, alias
Jack Smtih, who was serving a sen
tence of seven years for assault with
intent to ravish. He was convicted
in this county in 1905, bul in 1907
he escaped from the pen. In Sep
tember, 1912, he was recaptured.
At the time of their escape both
Mon's and Smith were working on
the farm of the penitentiary.
Superintendent Griffith has offered
a reward of $50 each for the cap
ture and delivery of the two escaped
convicts.
