story of a woman's desire for ven.[

Then she heard that Ferez and

Therefore, she sold the hotel and

in ‘her pocket, engaged a trans-

he had SIOOO on hand. ’

all these stories of kidnaping.”
. Apparently under a heavy strain,
but composed, Mrs. Robins talked
in her hotel, in the company of her
brother, Edward Dreier, her sis
ter, Miss Mary Dreier, and her
nephew, John Dreier, all of New
York.
She said she did not break down
when talking with her husband. “I
don’'t ery when I ought to cry)”
she explained. “I ought to be erys
ing now. In fact I ought to drop
in a dead faint at your feet but ]
can't,”
Mrs. Robing was here for twe
days in October. “I would have
given my hat to have known that
Colonel Robing was in this neigh
borhood,” she asserted.
No plans for the futuke have
been made, she explained, until
physicians have more thoroughly
examined ‘Colonel Robins.
Shortly before he disapepared
while presumably on his way to
keep an appointment with Presi
dent Hoover, “I never saw him
look or feel better,” Mrs. Robins
said,
During the conversation she
spoke to him of a bird and game
sanctuary in Florida the Robins
recently gave the gdvernment but
ke did not recall it, she said.
“Fis memory doesn’'t se:m to
record faces and places but he re.
members events very well,” was
her view. She said Robins while
in Whitties subscribed to a Florida
paper but she had only learned
this Saturday. He used the name
0f “Reynolds Rogers.”
| Wore 2 Months Beard
The prohibition crusader and
friend of President Hoover was
wearing a two months beard and
an overall jumper suit, the only
garb he was known to wear dur
ing his stay in Whittier, when he
sprang lightly from a motor car
and entered the hospital after a
two-hour ride on wet, mountain
highways.
. Two federal prohibition agents
acted as an escort on the drive
from Whittier to Asheville.
. He was reported by one of them
to have made reference to recur
ring lapses of memory.
“lI was getting along fine un
til two days ago, when it began tae
comie back on me,” he was gquoted.
Expriessed Sorrow
The agents said Robins express.
ed sorrow at leaving Whittier, a
town of 500 in Swain county,
‘where ‘he had lived as ‘“Raymond
Rogers” in a $4 a week boarding
house.
“I hate to go and have the best
peace I bave known 'in® ten years
torn up,” one of them reporied he
said.
They said Cel. Robins seemed to
have no memory of his past before
his arrival in. Whittier as a bus
passenger shortly after he drop
ped from sight in New York
while, presumably to go to Wash
ington for a econference with Pres
ident Hoover. 1
Upon reaching the hospital here,
he insisted that M. A. ‘White, one
of the accompanying. prohibiion
officers, go in with him. White
agreed and set by his . bed long
after the patient had been assign
ed to his room. t
+ Col. Robins spent last night in
his plainly furnished room in the
McHan hostelry at Whittier, with
two federal officers standing guard
to bar the curious.
He had been positively identified
by Dreier; who had gone to Whit.
tier after being informed prohibi

He Met Robins Under
Name of Mr. Rogers

"gotten the day before, The name
by which this gentleman went
was Rogers, and he said he was
“just a plain miner, the son of a‘
'Kentucky miner,” and was self- |
educated. |
! «“On my return to the Univer
sity,”” Mr. Carter said, “I teold
many people of this' strange per
son, and told my classes of him,
Just to demonstrate what perse
verance could do. He was a de
lightful conversationalist and we
were impressed with his culture
jand learning. The only thing
which puzzled us occurred during
a discussion of modern means of
rommunication and transportation.
Mr. Rogers, or Robins, said thq‘,
while -he was in continental Eua
rope as personal representative of
President Harding, he received
news of the President’s death.
With this news came word to re
}tum home, and inside four hours,
traveling by plane, he was at the
pier in England 'ready to sail for
America.”
On the Bth of September the
Carters left to continue thein trip
through the mountains, and drop
ped “Mr. Rogers" in Waynesville
where he said he wanted to get
his mail. Later, on the 10th, while
traveling near * Bryson City, the
Carter’s met Mr. Robins walkifg
along the highway. They stopped
and talked with him: he teold them
Jthat ‘his company had transferred
‘him ano. that he was now settled
in Whittier.
Colonel Robins dropped out eof
\sighton September 3, and a naiton
wide search was conducted by
relatives, friends and many gov
.ernment agencies, until he was dis
covered Friday, a vietim of amne
'sia, or loss of memory.
Colonel Robins, many Athenians
will recall, spoke in the Univer
sity of Georgia chapel several
years ago. He was the principal
speaker for the first state confer
ence on the Cause and Cure of
War, sponsored by the Georgia
Peace Society, which was organ
ized here. He was the guest of
honor at a dinner given by Mr.
and Mrs. C. A. VerNooy at their
lhome on Milledge avenue. Colonel
Robins was well known for social

champion of the prohibition law.

laway, Bristol, Tenn.; Miss Lucy
Fleming, New York city; Miss
‘l.:O‘u!se Lacy, Athens, and Mrs.
‘Grover Mangleburg, Athens.
Successful Man
‘ Mr. Fleming was a successful
'man, #n business atd in his other
pursuits. An Athens man who
knew him well, commented on his
qualities as follows:
“Mr. Fleming was a man of rare
character. ~ His sympathies were
always with the underprivileged.
In business _he was careful and
,consistent, efficient and exacting
" When any . business matter con
fronted him, however small and
insignificant it might be, he did
not hesitate but began it at once,
and stuck to it until it was com
pleted. He did not know how to
quit or to give up. This charac
teristic, acquired in the hard
school of business, followed him
in his sports. He was very fond
‘of hunting and fishing. When on
these hunting trips with friends,
often much vyounger men than
himself, he hunted harder and
donger than most of the others to
be sure there was a good bag of
game for each man to carry home.
He never shirked camp duties, but
tackled the hardest or meanest
jobs himself to save others from
having these duties t¢ perform.
He was never happier than when
by#*his own hard work and skill
ful effort, he placed his guest or
!companion in*a good location and
saw him bring down a geod bag
lof game or catch a good string of
fine fich.
“So solicitous of the welfare,
comfort, and happiness of others,
so ready to help those whom he
considered deserving; he was even
more vigorous in his determina
tion to be of no trouble, himself
to hisw friends. He did not want
to be waited on. He waited on
himself. He was ever ready to do
a friend a favor, but did not ask
favors of his friends..
- Generous Nature i
- “His generous nature carrfed
with it a natural. shrinking from
publicity, and his benevolences
were done with such quietness
that few, if any, other than the
recipients ever knew of them.
“His honesty was ungquestioned.
His word was his bond. EJs al
most unreasonable promptness in
settling any obligation incurred
as soon as it was incurred made
him a marked man in his commu
nity.
“His cordiality, and his consist
ent and persistent cheerfulness in
manner, expression, and in words,
to friends and strangers alike won
him many new friends each year,
and drew old friends closer to him
always.
“He was a gentleman of the old
school—a type that is becoming
rarer each year in this age of
hurry, scuffle, and selfish scram
ble. Peace. to his ashes! while
memory of him lives on in the
hearts of his friends.
“The sympathy of his many
friends: goes out to the members
of his family, of whose welfare
and happiness he was always so
licitous. To have lived close to
Mr. Fleming and known him well,
is to have been made a better man
or woman.”
