DAMAGING TESTIMONY IS GIV
EN AGAINST MRS.
MARY CRAWFORD.
Atlanta. Ort. 23. Damaging testi
mony against Mrs. Mary Belle Lraw
ford, accused of the murder of her aged
husband, Joshua B. Crawford, for his
$250,000 estate, was given before the
Grand Jury today by Kelly Murdock,
young men employed at the Craw
ford place before the aged man's death
Murdock's testimony was much the
same that he had given in the civil
suit by the Crawford heirs-at-law, but
questioning of the Grand Jury
rought out several features.
Murdock declared he had seen M
rawtord put a white substance in
Crawfords whiskey on several occas
ions, and that he also had seen her
giving him a fluid out of a dark bot
le. He did not know what they were,
ut said Mrs. Crawford called them
medicines."
Plan to Win Over Nephew
He said Mrs. Crawford had him
nail up the blinds of Crawford's room
as she didn't want the neighbors look
ing in.
Shortly after Crawford's death,
Murdock said, Mrs. Crawford came
onto the front porch crying that she
had given her aged husband to much
'medicine" and that he had died too
quickly.
Some time later, according to Mur
dock, Mrs. Crawford approached him
with a proposition to win Charlie
Crawford, a nephew and heir of Craw
ford, over to a stetlement of his claims,
which were in conflict with the will
Mrs. Crawford had in her poession
Murdock said he was to get $1,500 if
he succeeded, but that the nephew re-
fused to make the settlement. I
Dozen Witnesses on Hand.
More than a dozen other witnesses
were on hand when the Grand Jury in
vestigation opened Thursday. This is
the second time the Grand Jury has
had the Crawford murder charge be
fore it.
No bill was returned the first
time, but it is necessary that another j
no .bUy-mui$i4
ford cart' be relieved tf the $6,ii OOWftd
under which she has been placed. A
second no bill will stop further ac
tion against her.
The heirs of Mrs. Crawford assert
that she married the old,.man solely
for his money, and that, after per
suading him to make a will in her fa
vor, she poisoned him or hastened his
death by feeding him continually on
whiskey. All of the court action, civil
and criminal, up to this time has been
favorable to the defendant.
Attorney J. S. James, representing
the heirs at law who are contesting I
the will of the late Joshua B. Craw-
ford, said Thursday he would fight I
udge Ben Hill's ruling of Wednesday,
when a petition asking that Solicitor
Hugh Dorsey be compelled to prose
cute Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford for the
alleged murder of Crawford was de-1
nied in the Supreme Court. Mr. James
said he will file a bill of exceptions to
Judge Hill's ruling within a week.
NOVEMBER 16
Federal Meserve Badks Are to Open
Then if t h ?
WASHINGTON. Oct. 22 Although
. . .1
representatives of the twelve federal
reserve banks voted in favor of opening
the banks November 30, members of
the reserve board today were going
ahead with plans for putting the new
banking system in operation November
16 or 20, if it be found that this can be
accomplished.
As the currency act empowers Mr.
McAdoo to open the banks when
ever, in his opinion, they are ready
to transact business, the vote of the
banks representatives does not bind
the secretary of the reserve board,
The directors were leaving for their
homes today to begin work preliminary
to the opening of the banks.

they returned from Europe after the
European war started.

later sold the reservation to another ,
party for more money than they had
paid.
