ATLANTA LAWYERS KARSH TO WIVES Atlanta, Feb. 7.—Atlanta law yers, who have been having their Innings In adding their eloquence to the complaints of abused wives against cruel husbands, are now getting a dose of their own medi cine, and a mighty strong dose at that. Two lawyers within the past two days have been accused by their own wives of the very cruelties which they have so often ascribed to others in preparing formal petitions for di vorce. , The Drst lawyer, Rollin Kimball, was accused of practically throwing his wife in the street, after she had spent her early Ufa slaving to get him a university education. The seconl lawyer defendant In the di vorce court is H. J. Boswell, a young attorney who practice* principally In the criminal courts. His wife has filed suit for divorce against him, al leging that be treated her like a brute. Mm. Boswell says that the attor ney has repeatedly slapped and abused her, and that on one occas ion be locked her up In the bed room and kept her prisoner for 'sev eral hours, telling her through the key-hole, "I guess, we will sec who Is boss here now." On another occasion, says Mrs. Boswell, her husband tortured her by twisting her ear until It was bally br.Msed. and afterward, still holding her by the ear, slapped her face. This, she says, wns In the presence of visitors, and humiliated her as wx.ll as causing her severe bodily pain. One of the worst charges Mrs. Boswell brings is that her husband allowed negro clients to consult him late «t night, in their bedroom. I.tisk, former President of the First National Bank of WUburton, was Indicted Wednesday for misapplica tion of the bank's funds. Lusk was sentenced yesterday to serve five years in Leavenworth prison. A warrant for the banker was Is sued Thursday. Friday he arrived here, went before the Federal court ind pleaded guilty. He was Im mediately sentenced, and four hours Inter he was wns on a train, carry ing him to Leavenworth prison. Lusk's shortage Is said to have been forty thousand dollars.

They have obtained leave of ab sence from their respective ofllces, and while New York Is their Im mediate destination they propose to keep going—Into the Maine woods if necessary—Into Canada If neces sary—Into Greenland If necesary— until they find snow. They have figured out that It probably will not snow In Atlanta now until next winter. They Intend ed to mount the water-wagon for a tranquil little ride of a couple of weeks In mid-winter. They didn't bargain to ride on an annual pass. For weeks paot all three had been In the depths of despondency. Each aunahlny day, making glad all the rest of the universe, only made the gloom blacker for them. They had about given up hope and abandoned themselves to blank despair and ginger ale whon one of the three, who Is a lawyer, figured out that no locality was prescribed In their reso lution and that If they went .to New York and It snowed there, they would be released from their mutual pledge. Hence (he vacation trip at thie unusual period. KILLED INEfiiTl uTuTfS I Brunswick, Oa..

Each slip amount ed to an Individual pledge to go. When the voting was over. It was found that about 75 per cent of the slip* were still blank.
