Charged With Axe
Murder Of Mother
At Home In Bailey
NASHVILLE. Dec. 11.—(JF)—Jesse
I S'ssette, 45, was left alone In hts
Jail cell here today to ponder a
coroner's Jury charge that he kill
d his 60-year-old mother with an
axe at their home in Bailey.
Mrs. Maria Blssette, Sesse’s wid
owed mother, was found dying be
side a chair by neighbors called by
the son. who was her only child.
' She died before a doctor could ar
! r*ve- Her head had been crushed by
blows from an axe found nearby.
Sheriff W. G, Faulkner said Bis
sett claimed that he left the house
for about 10 minutes yesterday
nvyning, returning to find his
mother wounded.
Mrs. Bissette was widely known
in the Bailey area, owned her home
here and was reported in comfort
able circumstances.
Bissette was convicted recently of
the theft of a small amount of liq
uor from an ABC store and was
given a two-year suspended sen
tence.
Jesse Bissette's entanglements
with the law had made steady de
mands upon his mother's estate,
Nash county officers said. Those
who knew Mrs. Bissett said he al
ways was indulgent with her only
son.
While being held for trial here
for a previous offense Bissett laps
d into such a state of nervousness,
retiring Sheriff C. L. Johnston said
that he could be calmed sufficiently
to stand trial only by the admin
istering of a drug.
Officers who found Mrs. Bissett
dead at her home said her head
was crushed in by two axe blows,
one on the left temple and one at
the top of the skull.

In Turkey Talk

exactly what to do.
She begins by using an old fash
ioned roaster given her by her
mother, and whic hstlll cooks per
fectly.
"I like to keep mine on top of the
stove,” she said, “Of course your
roaster, your stove, the size and
the heat you have are important.
All cooks must get used to those
things.
“After placing the bird in the
roaster I steam cook it until quite
tender. It should be turned over
several times and ought to be watch
ed carefully to get it just right.
Prom three to four or possibly five
hours may be used in preparing the
turkey.
“When good and tender I take it
out and put in the stuffing. (A re
cipe for the stuffing will be found
at the close of the article). Don't
pack it, as heating later may cause
it to expand. Then it is ready to
brown, but don’t let it get too hard.
“You may then put it on the plat
ter, surround it with bell peppers
stuffed with rice or potatoes, gar
nish according to your taste, bake
briefly and serve.”
Recipe for stuffing: 5 cups dry
bread crumbs, 2 cups combread
crubs, a few onions, the seasons,
salt, pepper, etc., six eggs, quarter
pound butter, with enough pecans
to place on top. Use one or more
cups of the broth to mix the stuff
ing to give it the right moisture
content.
Wait a minute, junior, your fath
er will do the carving!

King Tomorrow
•Continued from page one.)
—probably from a room at Windsor
palace which he occupied as Prince
of Wales—Edward will go to the
continent. The speech will be broad
cast at 5 o'clock, eastern standard
time.
His friends said he would not be
at Cannes, but would reside near
enough to that Riviera resort to visit
the women he firmly intends to
marry as soon as she Is free.
The title he wil lbear—if, indeed,
he is anything but plain, everyday,
Edward Windsor—will be decided
by the new king his brother, “when
the time comes,” That was the au
thoritative word in commons today
from Sir Donald, the attorney gen
eral.
The abdication bill went swiftly
through committee stage without
amendment and was passed in com
mons on third reading, again with
out a formal vote. That put it up to
the house of lords, which earlier
had been enga ed in other business.
After Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin had announced the assent
of four of the dominions and im
minent parliamentary action by the
Irish Free State on the abdication
and accession, Clement R. Attlee
and Sir Archibald Sinclaif, Labor
and Liberal leaders, respectively,
put their parties in line.
Fool’s Paradise
Attlee, speaking for the bulk of
the opposition, took occasion, how
ever, to say that much of the pomp
and ceremony surrounding the
throne must be eliminated if the in
stitution is to survive in the pres
ent age.
Then Maxton, declaring his fel
low members were living in a “fool's
paradise,” registered his protest
against the monarchial system.
Four associates joined him.
While increasing crowds gather
ed before 145 Piccadilly, residence of
the new king to stare up at the
sombre windows, Edward said fare
well to old members of his personal
staff and visited for perhaps the
last time the gardens and wooded
paths of bid Fort Belvedere.
Police guarded the turreted re
treat and the nearby flying field.
London Calm
London was calm, Christmas time
crowds thronged the streets, optim
ism prevailed in the financial dis
trict. There were no untoward dem
onstrations either in Downing street
or Westminster.
By midday the crowds in Picca
dilly feminine, had increased to the
point where police re-inforcements
were keeping the people moving.
The countess of Strathmore,
mother of the newquen, visited her
daughter, and ten-year-old Prin
cess Elizabeth, the new heir to the
throne, accompanied her grand
mother to a garden gate in the rear
of the house when she left..
Canterbury Sees Mary
The Archlboshop of Canterbury,
on a mission of consolation, visited
Queen Mary.
Edward’s last, luncheon as king
was with Winston Churchill, the
statesman who steadfastly defended
his sovereign's position in commons.
Kent, too, was a guest.
The bulk of the outgoing king's!
treasured personal belongings al-;
ready had left Belvedere— pack'd j
In many suitcases and trunks, all
without labels.
It was believed Edward will motor
to the coast, there to board a de
stroyer which will take him to
Prance. It w’as reported the cross
ing would be from Dover to Dun
kirk.
Deeply secluded, Mrs. Simpson
remained at Villa Lou Vlei at Can
nes. There were tndiralions the king
would visit her but infrequently un
til April 27. when her divorce de
cree becomes final,
