Hackett need not delight audiences with Shakespearean roles any more if he does not want to, To-day the actor is heir to at least $1,000,000 of the estate of his niece, Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trowbrid e, The fact that the actor will inherit this sum .. all the more remarkable because Mrs Trowbridge had always refused {o see him or have anything to do with the man who will come into a big part of the fortune of $2,500,000 she left. The antagonism to the actor dates back to a family feud of €0 years' standing. The only will left by the woman made her husband the heir. He died about three years ago, and mental weakness on the part of the woman prevented her from making a naw decumen’. Hackett is the next of kin.

The end of the wave of criticism sweeping the country, in so far as it affects the so-called ‘new dances” and feminine fashions, is seen by Mrs, Jacques Futrelle, widow of the fa mous writer who was lost in the Ti tanic disaster, and herself an author. She is in Atlanta for a #eek's stay with her mother, Mrs. J. T. Peel, of No. 54 West Fourth street. Mrs., Futrelle thinks the launching diatribes against such dances as the tango, the one-step, the hesitation and others, and the holding up of hands in righteous horror because woman dares dress becomingly, com fortably and as she pleases, is but the cropping out of the instinctively human desire to be forever talking about something. She thinks criti cism itself has.gotten to be more of a fad than any_of the things criti cised. Published Weekly By THE GEORGIAN COMPANY 20 E. Alabama-st.. Atianta. Gs. GUARD EVIDENGE FOR THE DEFENSE . Vital Affidavits Just Obtained . . for Use in Preparing the ' ' Extraordinary Motion. | In his cell at the Fulton County Tower Leo M. Frank Tuesday began his work of aiding his attorneys in the preparation of the plea for a new trial, which will be filed with Judge Ben lill, of the Superior Court, about ten days before the time set for his exeqution, April 17. Frank is reviewing the new evidence secured by his attorneys, and is expect ed to hold a conference with his law vers Tuesday that he might incorporate his own ideas into the motion for a new trial of his case. Rumors that the defense has obtained a number of new affidavits were cur rent Tuesday, but Attorneys Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold were uncem municative. ' New Evidence Withheld. It is known, however, that the defense has in its possession considerable new evidence that has not been made pub lic, and that the many conferences be tween Frank and his lawyers are for the purpose of acquainting I'rank with the developments and securing his aid in the preparation of the new plea. One of the reports of new evidence current Tuesday was that the defense has obtained an affidavit from a negro at LaGrange, 154 Ross, who is said to have seen Jim Conley washing blood lfrmyl his hands on the day of the trog edy, Solicitor Dorsey is said to be collect ing evidence to disprove Ross' story, and he is said to have a number of letters and affidavits from citizens of LaGrange attacking the negro's charac ter, "That Solicitor Dorsey is working hard to combat the new evidence unearthed by the defense is evident from the nu merous conferences that the Solicitor has had recently with detectives who worked on the case, particularly Camp bell argd Starnes, who were instrumental in collecting the evidence that convict ed, Frank. None of the trio will talk about the Solicitor's attitude toward the new developments. Frank Studies Taft Speech. Frank is expected to issue another statement from the Tower soon, based on the address delivered in Boston by former President William H. Taft last Friday, when he declared that many innocent men have been convicted by public clamor. Mr. Taft declared that he had had te pardon several men because they had been convicted in this manner, althoughy they Were innocent of crime, It is un derstood that in his statement IFrank will endeavor to parallel his own case with those cited by Mr. Taft. The return of Detective William J, Burns to Atlanta during the week is ex pected to result in important develop ments in theecase, Burns aiready has conferred with Frank and secured the condemned man's story, and it is un derstood he has a number of clews to work on immediately upon his return. C. W. Burke, an agent for Luther ‘l{omu-r, of Frank's counsel, returned Tuesday from Jacksonville, Fla., where he has been for several days on"a mis ‘sion said to be connected with the iT'runk case, | SHIP HIT SHOAL OF CORPSES.
