I HESS AGENT STILL ON JOB ON FAMOUS NELMS CASE ATLANTA, Ga., June 15. —In front o. ! the postoffice in East Point, an Atlanta suburb, where he visited Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis when she was employed there, Victor E. Innes is now toiling as a convict in stripes, a member of a road gang paving the street. East Point people who remember the visits to Mrs. Dennis by a mysterious stranger with black hair and black moustache and black eyes stop on the street and rivet their gaze on th convict, trying to connect his face with the face of the stranger. But Inne works with his head bent down, and his gyes are on the ground, and thej cannot see him distinctly. The disappearance three years ago of Mrs. Dennis and her sister, Beatrice Nelms, created a nation-wide sensa tion. adroit press agents bringing the case prominently before the people of the whole country. Mrs. Dennis, it is said, was wildly infatuated with Innes, whom she met in Reno, Nev., and en gaged as her lawyer to get a divorce. He came here and on various pretext? managed to separate Mrs. Dennis from practically all her money and property, his wife appearing always in the role of an aunt. The girls disappeared, were traced to a house in San Antonio, Tex., occu pied by Innes and his wife, and have been seen again. Innes and his wife were tried in San Antonio for murder ai d acquitted, the state being unable to establish that the girls were really dead. It was alleged that they had been chopped to pieces, after dead, ground up in a sausage mill, their bones reduc ed by acids and washed through the bath tub drain into the sewer. Subse quent to the San Antonio trial. Innes ar.d his wife were brought here on a charge of larceny after trust, being tried and convicted. Innes received a t even year sentence.
