CHARGED WITH POISONING WIFE AND' NEIGHBORS Washington, Ga.,-June 19.-Dr. Saggus was arrested and placed in jail here late today pending a pre liminary hearing on charges of hav ing poisoned his first wife and his present wife'e first husband, Charles Wilbanks. The physician came from his home at Harlem, near here and surrendered when he heard that a coroners jury had returned a ver dict this morning charging him with the deaths of the couple, which was followed by the issuance of murder warrants. Arrangements were made to exhume both bodies. Physicians testified that the symp tons of both the first Mrs. Saggus and Wilbanks, indicated poisoning al though they could not be positive of the cause of their deaths and letters were introduced designed to show im proper relations between Dr. Saggus and his present wife before the death of Wilbanks. Dr. Saggus aserted that his first wife, who was Miss Mary Walker, of Barnett, Ga., died November 23, 1921, of neuralgia of the heart, and that Wilbanks, who succumbed Feb ruary 3, last, died after suffering sev eral months with asthma for which Dr. Saggus had been giving him hy podermie injections. The present present Mrs. Saggus told newspaper men she believed her husband the vic tim of a "frame up" on the part of enemies. Witnesses testified at the inquest today that Dr. Saggus carried $5,000 insurance on the life of his first wife and the Wilbanks, had a $1,000 policy in favor of the present Mrs. Saggus. There also was testimony to the effect that Dr. Saggus col lected $3.500 fire insurance when his home was burned shortly after the death of his first wife. Mrs. Saggus who is thirty years old, said today that she and her first husband were neighbors of Dr. Saggus and his wife, and that the two couples were friends. She said she had married Dr. Saggus in Au gusta in April. The present Mrs. Saggus was formerly Miss Corrie Johnson, of Rome, Ga., and prior to her marriage to Wilbanks, had been matron at the Decatur, Ga., or pha nage. SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSO.

DODGE BROTHERS BUILD NEW COUPE Closed Car For Business Men Is Dis tinct Achievement In Automo tive Field. First With All Steel Body-Other Cars Have New Body Design. Behind the simple phraseology of an announcement which Dodge Brothers, Detroit automobile manufacturers, are publishing today in every import ant city and town in America, lies the story of a new achievement in automo bile development. "Dodge Brothers announce a business coupe; conserva tive in the body design of all other types," the advertisement reads. The business coupe is the first t - steel closed car ever marketed. n this respect it takes a new and dis tinct place in automotive history, for it involves an entirely unique principle of coupe body construction. The steel body not only practically eliminates the problem of limited production, clue to the tedious and costly individ ual worknanship required on wood bodies, but also enables the manufac turers to give the coupe the same lus trous baked enamel finish which has already contributed so much to the reputation of Dodge Brothers open cars. This process in itself will also facilitate quantity production, as an enormous amount of time was con sumed heretofore in applying the nu merous coats of paint required on wood. Naturally, these are important fac tors in the determination of the sell ing price, resulting in economies which Dodge Brothers are passing di reetly to the purchaser. "Wood is practically eliminated from the con struction of this car," said Harvin Motor Co., the local dealer. "Even the frameworc and panels are of steel and the natural result is a lighter, quieter and more durable car. Steel prolongs life and reduces the possib ility of squeaks and rattles. "The business men of America have been expecting such a coupe and Dodge Brothers have biven it to them. "It is in reality a coupe at a roads ter price. While it is easily attrac tive enough for any use, it is par ticularly designed for the business man--who needs the comfort and pro tection of a closed car in his work, but who can easily get along with (lut a few of the luxuries which, in the past, have made the closed car so expensive. The business coupe is built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of every (lay use-and vet it retains the same lightness and beauty of line which everyone is ac 'ustomed to look for in Dodge Bro her's closed cars. It lacks only what might term the depreciation liabili ies of the more expensive coupe. It s upholstered in genuine leather, has I wide, com fortable straight seat, is 1cinippedl with cord tires, heater, dome ight, windshield cleaner andc adjust nents for raising arnd lowering win lows. The doors are unusually wfide md1( are fitted with niew~ easy closing r'ale locks.
