Marleita was still aghast Monday
over its trio of Sunday tragedies. Two
sulcides and a fight that probab'y
will result in death rendered the town
breatijoss
Mrs, Camsadie Carter, a bride of
Jess than 1 month, killed herself by
firing a load of buckshot into her
breast. k. B Freyer, one of the most
prominent citizens of Marietta, with
large hotel and marble interests,
killed himself early in the afternoon
firing a revolver into his brain Ear
lier Sunday, Spratt Tenent struck W
F.. Moss, a farmer, over the head with
a gas pipe, crushing his skull and
placing him in danger of death They
ha«d quarreled over a debt. Moss was
still alive, but in a critica! condition
Monday morning.
The tragedies were in no way re
lated, and involve mysteries, at least
as far as the suicides are concerned
Mrs. Carter was married less than a
month ago. She had been married
before, but unhappily, and obtained a
aivorce not ong ago. Her friends are
shocked and surprised at the occur
rence and can suggest no cause ex
¢ept that her mind was unbalanced.
About 19 o'clock Sunday morning
inmates of the home of her father,
W. D. Spence, where she was living
wit; iner husband, heard a shot and
ran to her room f{o find her dying.
She had placed the muzzle of a shot
gun to her breast and pulled the trig
ger with her foot.
Neither did E. B. P'reyer supply an
explanation of his act of self-destruc
tion, which, however, must have been
well plannedl, He left a 4 note to his
wife directing the disposition of his
affairs No financial or domestic
troubles had existed, so far as i#®
known. Mrs. Freyer, who is a daugh
ter of Bishop Reese of Savannah, had
returned Sunday morning with her
two children from a trip to Savan

Where She Beat Them.
The superintendent of a charitable
fnstitution of the aged poor in a
certain district says that there is no
topic more pleasing to some poor old
women than the discussion of their
“hetter days,” when they were the
fortunate possessors of “everything
heart could wish for,” as they are apt
to express it.
One old lady in the institution is
never tired of describing the finery
she had when she was a bride;, an
other boasted of having once owned
a “gold-band chiny tea set” and_six
. . ~
#olid silver teaspoons; while a third
dwelt at length on the elegance of a
flowered silk gown and satin parasol
with fringe fifteen inches long.
One poor old lady stood this sort ot
tulk as long as she could. Then she
cialmly interrupted them with:
Well, 1 never had no chiny tea
things, nor no silk gowns, nor em
broidered petticoats. nor openwork
stockings, nor gold earrings, nor
nothin’ of that sort, but I have had
four husbands, an’ I'd like to know
whether any of vou can beat that.”

Dr. 8. D. Warnock, forimer oun
¢ilman from the Fourth Ward, was
taken from his home, No. 396 South

early Monday, after ne is said to have
terrorized his wife and other occu
pants of the house with a revolver
while intoxicated
Dr. Warnock was edcorted to the
‘police station by Call Officer Gorman
and later was arraigned before Re
corder Broyies. Mrs. Warnock told
the Recorder that she had been com
pelled to flee from her home and seek
refuge in the home of a neighbor,
where she hid for hours behind a
refrigerator.
“I remained in that position until I
was nearly frozen,” said the wife,
When Officer Gorman arrived on
the scene he found Dr. Warnock in
bed with a pistol in his haad, but had
no difficulty in disarming him
Mrs. Warnock said her husband had
bean on a spree and that she had be
come afraid of him. Judge Broyies
advised her to take out a peace war
rant against him,
Dr. Warnock protested that he did
not mean to harm his wife with the
pistol, explaining that be thought a
burglar was trying to get into the
house and that he was merely up
wailing for him
Mrs. Warnock asked that the doc
tor be hold in the police station until
she could have time to take legal
steps u;.«nfisl him, declaring she
would not “give him another trial.”
Judge Broyles then continued the
case until Tuesday morning and
placed Dr. Warnock under bond of

COUNT SUES WIFE. |
CHICAGO, April 18.—The divorce
sult of Count Vittor Moschini, a for
mer member of the ltalian (‘hamber
of Deputies, against his American
wife, who was Lulu Davis, of Austin,
Texas, before her marriage,~ began
here to-day.
The suit is based on statutory
grouncs, Count Bellegarde, a dashing
young lieutenant in the Italian navy,
being named. Because of the nature
of the evidence the court ordered that
testimony be taken behind closed
doors.
In November, 1912, Signora Mos
chini and Count Bellegarde were ar
rested at the latter's residence at the
‘instigation of Count Moschini.
WHEN SALE SETS SAIL.
Two rows in one morning with her
better-half had decided Mrs. Meggin
“There, that'll do it!” she mur
mured to herself, as she surveyed
the crudely-painted signboard in her
cottage gzrdvn. “I'll see if he won't

A party of students from a neigh
boring college strolled past in the
afternoon and laughed uproariously
when they read the little sign, “For
Sail."”
Mrs. Meggin was stolidly cleaning
her windows, and never cast an eye
at the little gathering.
“Hi, old woman,” called out one
sallow-looking youth, “when does
this house sail?”
“Whenever the man comes along
that can raise the wind!” tersely

Solicitor General Dorsey Monday
for the first time since the ending of
the trial of l.eo M. Frank indicated
his plans for fighting the campaign of
aftidavits that the defense is making
by his adimission to a Georgian re
porter that he was about to start
prosecutions against a number of
persons in connection wita the Frank
case,
His sensational declaration came
within a short time of the return to
Atlanta of William J. Burns, the de
tective who has been working on the
case, and whose findings to this time
seem to have been favorable to Frank.
Burne returned from a secret mission
in Northern cities and would not dis
close the results of his week's work.
The prosecutions undertaken by
Solicitor Dorsey are supposed to be
directed against the aflidavit makers
for the defense.
The Solicitor refused to name the
persona against whom cases wouid be
made, but he admitted that steps al
ready had been taken toward the
prosecution. With him in conference
during the morning were Detectives
Bass Rosser, John Black, John
Starnes and Pat Campbell. It was
reported that they had just completed
an investigation.
Detectiv> Burns said that bis week's
work out of Atlanta had been produc
tive of gratifyine results, and de
clared that he was prepared (o sub
mit his report within a day or two.
He would not say with whom he had
talked, but declared that the infor
mation he had obtained served only to
confirin him in the certainly of the
identity of the murderer of Mary
Phagan.
He went immediately to his agen
cy's offices in the Healey Building,
where he was in consultation some
time with Dan lehon, who handled
the Atlanta end of the case during hia i
absence. Lehon reported to him that |
no one had appeared to claim the
$l,OOO roward that had been offered to
the person or persons who would fur
nish definite and satisfactory proof
that Frank was a degenerate, usi
charged on the witness stand by Con- |
ley. Burns was said to be contem- |
plating raising the offer to $5,000. |
Believed Negro Is Intimidated. |
|
(Counsel for Frank Monday - ex
pressed a doubt that the negro A!-‘
bert McKnight, who was discovered
at the police station Saturday night,
where he repudiated his perjury afi
davit made for the defense. had come
under police protection voluntariiy.
They professed to be of the opinion
that McKnight had been coerced or
intimidatad in some manner in order
to make him return to the story he
told against Frank on the witness
stand.
McKnight, no later than last Wed
nesday, swore to an cffidavit in the
presence of Dan Mclintyre, Notary
Public, and Detective Lehon. It em
bodied the same statements that were
contained in the original affidavit ob
tained by Captain C. W. Burke.
McKnight told the same story to
reporters for two of the Atlanta pa
pers. He 4lso is said to have related
it to Dr T. H. Hancock, who treated
him when be was injured by a train a
fcw weeks ago, and nearly a score of
other parsons. To the reporters Mc-
Knight said that he had been on the
point of breaking down and telling
the truth when he was under cross
examination by Luther Rosser and
would, in fact, have admitted that
there was nothing to the story he
wag relating had the attorney asked
him a few more questions.
MISS HELD COMMENTS.
BALTIMORE, April 16.—Anna Held
was told that Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., her
former husband, had married Billie
Burke, the actress,
“Ah! Is that so? Well, you know
Ihat 18 a matter of perfect indifference
t 5 me,”’ she replied. “I had my chance
to have Mr. Ziegfeld for a husband and
1 had him and now—'' she shrugged Ler
sktoulders and made a moue.
~ “Mr. Ziegfeld is a very, very good
' manager. But as a husband ——" "Oh,
be can't think of nathing but business,
husiness, business All the fime he
| thinks of business.”
The modern institutional church,
with its diversified activities, com
pares unfavorably, in the opinion ot
Bishop John €. Kilgo, with the old
soul-saving type
“Too many preachers,” said Dr,
Kilgo, “are trying to turn the church
into a labor union, a medical school,
a hospital, a social circle, a play
ground, a dancing academy, a lunch
counter., a boathouse, a duckpond—
into everything, in fact, except the
one thing Jesus Christ intended i
to be
‘The modern conception of the
church is an apostasy which would
make the angels sick and God turn
pale.”
‘reachers Scored.
From the ~modern institutional
church Bishop Kilgo turned to the
modern preacher.
“The time is coming,’ he sall,
scathingly, “when candidates for the
ministry witl study for their profes
sion at Rarvard, because it will give
them a better chance lo learn base
bhall. Or, parhaps, they'll attend a
a gymnasium or tango school. What
the church needs is more old-fash
ioned preachers, who are concerned
only in saving souls. The churca
was not founded to Iswer the bread,
cry, the poverty cry, the ignoran o
cry nor the health ery of, the worl 1.
The church is herz to ;ms‘vpr the sin
ery.”
Also Hits “New Woman."”
The speaker also took a thrust al
the modern woman.
“You hear women asking for
rights at the polls” he =aid. “Wall,
they may not have those particular
rights vet, but you will notice they've
taken their right to the leadership
of the path to doom.” .
Bishop Kilgo will preach again At
7:45 o'clock to-night. The revivalist
services at St. Paul's will continue
throughout the week.

DISTINCTLY SUSPICIOUS.
It was while on maneuvers and a
soldier was being tried for the shoot
ing of a chicken on prohibited ground.
“Look here, my man,” said the com
‘mnnding officer to the farmer who
‘brnught the accusation, “‘are you qui'a
certain that this is the man who shot
vour bird? Will you swear to him 2"
“No: | won't do that,” replied the
canny yokel; “but I will say he’s ine

“That's not enough to convict a

nettled. “What raised your suspi

“Well, sir,” replied the sturdy farm

with his kerchief, "it was this way:
