Patterson, charged i with the murder of Fred A. Miltiniore, local restauranteur, today heard the woman's story recited under the spell'of a crystal. Unique in the annals of jurispru dence the woman, an announced devotee of the ouija, .had the crystal steadily before her Jn order that she could'concentrate, as it was explained. She held Miltimore responsible for the theft of $.38,000 from the West Palm Beach postoffice . in 1918 which '^reflected on her brother Paul. Her attempt to cover .this shortage j culminated in her taking $32,000 from a registered package later in July of this, year, the defendant said. When postal inspectors waxed warm in their investigation she came to Orlando accompanied by Patterson in search of Miltimore . As to the .. y killing of the man she suffered a. lapse of memory. Her testimony exonerated Patterson as to having any part in the actual slaying.. Miss Clarke, who occupied the stand for more than two hours, told the same story she had given in a signed statement shortly after Miltimore's body was found in her room i at a local hotel. She mentioned Joseph B. Elwell, murdered New York sportsman, as having loaned her $38,000 in 1918 because of his friend; ship for her brother. To repay him she was forced to start on a career of doctoring the accounts. Her mention of Elwell's name shortly aftei her arrest caused a flurry in police I | circles because o? the fact that El| well's assassins have never been arj rested. It was quickly established. | however, that the woman had not | been north of Atlanta since a young ! Sirl.. Her testimony in regard to the theft of $3$,000 from the postoffice disagrees with that of Postal Inspector i W. B. Brandon, who told the jury i Saturday of his investigation into the postoffice irregularities. These irregularities began before she assumed ; charge as postmistress, he testi?ied} but there was never a shortage of , I $38,000. The shortages, he said, exj elusive of the $32,000, totalled ap- , I proximately $5,000. | As Miss Clarke neared the end of | her recital of events during her in- . ! terviewr with Miltimore in her room, t she took a flight into matters of spiritualism.

Boyee Cook and Clifford Gantt, two white men from Barnwell county, were shot this afternoon by a negro named Kirkland. who was in turn possibly ? mortally wounded by the two officers. Messrs. Cook and Gantt were taken to a hospital in Columbia. The shooting took place just across the North Edisto river in Barnwell county about three miles from Springfield. The officers had gone to arrest another negro who escaped when the negro Kirkland began firing upon the officers with a shotgun. Mr. Gantt was the most seriously injured of the two white men. Mr. Cook put Mr. Gantt and the wounded negro into the car and drove on to Springfield where mediI eal attention was given. The white men were taken to Columbia, and the | negro was taken to ttarnwen jan, tne j sheriff of Barnwell county being askI ed to meet the prisoner in Blaekville. I Barnwell, Nov. 23.?Sheriff Sanders brought the negro Kirkland to the county jail here tonight, but left' with his prisoner immediately when it was reported that a number of (tars were following the officer.

WAR HPRO MISS I.NO FROM SHIP AT SPA Colonel WliittJescj; Disjipix'ars en Route to Cuba.?Officer Won Panic During World War. New York Nov. 28.?Lieut. Col. * < naries w. w mttiesey, nero or tne famous "lost batallion," has disappeared from the steamship Toloa on > * which he sailed Saturday for Habana, according to a wireless message received here today. News of the disappearance of the famous soldier came in the following message received from the captain of the ship: Passenger named C. W. Whittlesey disappeared. Left several letters." Officials of the United Fruit Line, operators of the ship, confirmed the fact that the passenger in question was Lieutenant Colonel Whittlesey through his relatives. Members of Mr. Whittlesey's lawfirm here were at a loss to account for .his proposed visit to Cuba. When he left the offices of the firm Friday he announced his intention, they said, of attending the Army-Navv game on the following day. It has since been learned that Colonel Whittlesey purchased a ticket for Habana the following morning and sailed that day. Mind Seemed Clear. His business associates declared that his mind was clear and that he apparently was in good health otherwise when last seen. He seemed cheerful, they added, and declared they were unable to explain his seemingly strange action in going away as he did without notifying them of his plans. C. W. Whittlesey the soldier's uncle, tonight sain that Colonel Whittelsey attended the services for the unknown dead at Washington on Armistice day and had since appeared depressed. Mr. "Whittlesey said that lie last saw his nephew on Friday veiling and that he did not notice any decided change in his demeanor at that time. Colonel Whittlesey, who was and unmarried, lived in a bachelor apartment on East Forty-fourth street. When he appeared at breakfast Saturday morning he brought a suit case down from his room. He did nol I say where he was going and his friends did not consider the circumstance unusual because he was in the habit of making frequent week-end and business trips, i Colonel Whittlesey is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Whittlesey of I v.tsfield, Mass. He has two brothel s. Elisha of Pit tsfield and Melzar of tlus city. Won Fame Overnight. The crisp, laconic reply: "You go to hell," hurled into the teeth of a Herman officer who called, on him ami his men to surrender, was the rhetorical battlefield classic which brought Colonel Whittlesey into lame over night. Surrounded in the Argonne with his command, the first battalion 01* the Three Hundred and Eighth infantry. Seventy-seventh division Whittlesey J had been cut off for four days without food or l'resh water. All but 87 men had been killed or wounded. At dusk tui October 7, If) 18. a blindfolded German bearing a white flag, crossed the line, lie bore a message asking the Americans to surrender, "in the name of humanity." A few hours after the messengei | bud been sent, back with Whittlesey's 1 i reply, an American advance toot% place and all were rescue*' His exploit was : ?

John B. Pruyn, a lawyer t?? whom messages from Captain (Irani of the Toloa were addressed. stated tonight that he was of the opinion that Colonel Whittlesey had ended his own life. Radio messages related that Colonel Whittlesey left a note for the captain requesting him to notify his parents in Pittsfield, Mass. ^ and then disappeared from the ship. Mr. Pruyn stated that he believed the tragedy to be the result of mental strain to which Colonel Whittlesey had been subjected as one of the honorary pallbearers at the Armistice day ceremonies in Washington. Robert F. Little of White & Case the law firm with which Colonel Whittlesey has been associated foi some time, received a wireless message from Captain (?rant of the Toloa stating that the colonel had left n message for him regarding some law papers.

CAUSES BIG LOSS Augusta, Ga., Nov. 2t>.?.Loss fron the fire which early this morning threatened the entire business section of Augusta and finally razed half of the block bounded by Broad. Eighth and Ellis streets will not; exceed $l,r>00,000, according to estimates of business men and local underwriters. Fire Chief Frank G. Reynolds, however, believes that the loss will not exceed the million mark. Chief Reynolds tonight also stated that but for the sprinkler system 01 the J. B. White & Co., department store and the timely assistance of the Aiken fire department the White building and the Genesta hotel would have been totally destroyed. Lack of sufficient hose handicapped the local fire fighters and the arrivaf of the Aiken volunteer department with 1,000 feet of additional hostsaved the day in the opinion of tht Augusta chief. No lives were lost in the lire, police and hotel officials today checked up lists of hotel guests and no missing persons have been reported to the police. Only two casualties resulted from the fire, according to hospital, reports. Fire Captain B. F. Crouch of Augusta and Fireman A. B. E. Smith of the Aiken department receiving minor injuries. The loss is confined to the following buildings; Johnson building, total loss.. Harrison building, total loss:. Albion hotel, total loss. Genesta hotel partly burned. J. B. White & Co., partly burned . The Augusta Chronicle, total loss . Sparks also ignited three stores twc blocks from the big blaze, all threestores being gutted. The origin of the fires are not known. The first fire was discovered in the Harrison building shortly after 1:30 o'clock and fanned by a. stiff breeze soon spread to adjoining . structures. The Johnson building . was soon enveloped and within about ten minutes the Albion hotel was in flames. At the sounding of the first alarm, however, guests at the hotel J were aroused and rushed into the street with the few personal belong-ings they could gather. All. officialsthink, escaped uninjured.
