Hl3 d FIANCEES
HERE GOOD-BY
“Memoryless Man” Suddenly Re
nembers He Is Engaged to
Wed Trio on Same Day.
“Mr. Mack,” the memoryless man
of mystery, who told a remarkable
story of huving‘('nmt- to Atlanta to
seek his “identity,” Monday was rap
idly placing distance between himself
and ,Atlanta, and three young At
lanta widows are wondering why he
wooed and planned to marry all of
them within 24 hours.
When the story and picture of the
man of mystery appeared in The Sun
day American it was read by these
three young women, each of whom
was busily engaged in making elabo
rate preparatians for her “wedding"
to “Mr. Louis Alexander,” of Thelma,
Fla. which he claimed as his right
rame, One of the women was to be
married to Alexander at 11 wo'clock
Sunday morning, another at 8 o'clock
ir. the afternoon, and the third at 10
o'clock Monday morning.
Great, then, was the consterngtion
wrought in the three femimine ‘hearts
when each of the fiancees recognized
in The Sunday American a picture of
“Mr. Mack"—the man who ‘two
months ago had lost his name and all
knowledge of himself—the pame ar
dent wooer who 'had won their hearts
and hands. !
Three Fiancees Ask ‘Aid.
“The three women ‘mmmediately fled
to Dr. Horace Grant, to whom the
siranger of the famtastic “lost iden
tity"” story had appealed for aid in
finding himself, and who was looking
after him until his story could be in-
vestigated. v
In the meantime “Mr. Mack"—as he
had dubbed himself, he said, for con
venience's sake—had vanished. He
had decided, after finding The Geeor
glan had given his story to the pub-
Jdic, that he had not lost hig identity in
Atlanta after all, and had best seed it
¢lsewhere. The first intimation re
ceived by Dr. Grant as to where the
man had gone came Monday morn
ing in a letter written by '“Mr. Mack"
on a speeding train. The postmark
was so indistinct that the train on
which it was maited could not be dis
tinguished.
“l am en my way to Birmingham 'to
try and find myself,” was the sole ex
planation of his hurried departure.
@n learning the story of the trio of
disappeinted widows, Dr. Grant com
municated with the police and put de
teotives on the trail of the fleeing
stranger. Thinking also that the
Birmingham story might be a “blind"”
to throw the authorities off the track,
Dr. Grant sent telegrams to other
cities. :
One Widow Would Sheet Him.
«“rMr. Mack” will find now that the
police are &s anxious to find his #den
‘tity as he is himself. .
The first of the three women to he
giege Dr. Grant for information of the
memoryless man Wwas exceedingly
wrathy and made no effort to con
ceal her indignation. :
“Pall me where he is, doctor—
please tell me—l'd just like to shoot
‘him, that's all,” she exclaimed.
Another was egually as joyful over
‘the exposure and said she was glad
it all happened before she took a
chance at marrying him.
“AIN'T want now is to get my pho
tographs,”’ she said “Geoed.gracioms,

::imy pictures about over the eoun-

last prop from under the saloons and’
Iliquor interests in the State when it

‘by the last General Assembly, consti

This law not only gives the eourts
power to close saloons, but to con
fiscate property within the State used
for the manufacture or sale of intoxi
cating liguors for intrastate trade.
Its effect is to make owners of prop
erty jointly liable for violations of
the prohibition laws by their temants
or sub-tenants. Proceedings under
the nuisance law have already been
