Confesses To
Crime In Few
Poetic Lines
ASHLAND Alias. Feb. 11 U.P.-
A confession in poetry to the mur-
der of Alaivin Dtew her husband
brought Airs. Pearl Guntor Drew
30 Into court heie today for a sen-
tence which probably will releuso
hor- father T. G. Gunter from a
25-year prison term for tho snmo
crime.
No murder In recent Atlsslsslppi
history has presented more strange
angles. Airs. Drew's confession put
to simple meter In n. loiter lo Gov-
ernor Theodore G. Bilbo gained
Gunter's temporary release. Now
ho is aiding the defonso of his
daughter who pleaded guilty to
manslaughter ycatonluy.
"This poison 'mule' dear people
"Did cause this incident;
' It stole those children's fnthor
"Who for their lovo was mount."
That wns tho lhymed explana-
tion of tho woman who bore Drew-
four children for admittedly shoot-
ing him to death two days befoto
her fourth child was born. "White
mule" she confessed satisfied his
longing nnd atole uway his brain.
Drew wns naleep in bed with
his seven-yenr old daughter Doio-
thy LouUe at his side whon ho
waa shot through tho heart. A cor-
oner's Jury originally ie tinned a
verdict of suloidu. Later Guntor
was chnrged with tho crimo and
convicted mainly on Dorothy's tes-
timony that "Grtindnddy did it."
She had been coached to say
that Airs. Drew confessed.
