Jenkins, of 222 Smith street, who Tuesday caused the arrest of H. B. Krumholz on a charge of murdering hla wife, Mrs. Rosalie Krumholz, on August R at their home, 139 South Forsyth street. Krumholz, who Is In Ihe custody Deputy Sheriff Miller nnd continues to serve his customers at his barber shop on Decatur strert, calmly asserts his Innocence. He says that the fatal pistol shot was accidental, aa found by the coroner's Jury. With a number of witnesses, Mrs. Jenkins will go before the grand Jury Thursday nnd endeavor to secure an Indictment. She had Krumhcls arrest ed Tuesday, she says, because she feared he would endeavor to run away. "I will try to show that Krumholz has abused hla wife fer many years,' said Mrs. Jenkins Wednesday, "and that he has a dreadful temper. Once he flew Into a rago when we were llv Ing In St. Louis, In 1905, and struck his wife In the back with a heavy hand satchel. I' ran for a doctor, but when he came Krumholz met him at the door and told him there was no trouble at all. A second doctor came, and I saw him In myself. He said that the Injuries were serious. "My daughter ran off with Krumholz about eight years ago. They went to Porto Rico and were married. They stayed there four years. Then my daughter left hint and came back to me. She said he was running a saloon and had put her behind the bar to wait on the natives and soldiers, and that she could not stand It. He kept writ ing to her and at last came here to live with. her. My daughter was terribly afraid of her husband. She said he threatened to kill her If she left him. As a gen eral thing, she submitted to his abuse, but sometimes talked .bank to .him. That made hlm furloiis. 'We have never found tbe clothes my daughter wore to the theater the night she was killed. Krumholz told us we could have all her clothes, but we could not find the white shirt waist or skirt or anything but the shoes. Then his statement about the time he returned home that night Is peculiar. He says they got home at about 12 o'clock, and after hunting for u burglar went to bed. He saya he went to sleep and when he heard a noise at the window raised up and fired. Well, know my daughter wae dead at . o'clock, and I don't see how all that could have happened In such a short while.” Deaths and Funsrals SLAYER OF GILLI8 REPORTED CAPTURED. Bpecisl to The Georgian.

All admirers of the chasfe In art, all lovers of things beautiful, aa well aa the many well-wlahers for the better, ment of the stage and the development of Ita possibilities for the benefit of mankind, will be pleased to learn that the production of Wagner's famous mystic drama, ''Parsifal,” Is announced for three performances—Wednesday and Thursday nights and Thursday matinee—at the Grand. No production that has ever been presented to the American public has been received with more universal com mendation and praise than has been accorded “Parsifal" wherever produced. Scholars and artists, press and clergy, theatergoer and churchgoer, all have joined In acclaiming It tbe gentlest, sweetest and most gratifying story ever enacted upon the stage. The cause Ilea In the fact that the beautiful story told Is one thaj appeals direct to the heart and soul of every man or woman tbat has a spark of blood In thslr veins; that every speech and action used In the development of the simple story are so Intensely dramatic that one sits absolutely enthralled with their power and Impreaslveness.

There will be mati nees on Thursday and Saturday and evening performances all week. Good Things at the Orphsum. Beaumont, who exhibits his pack of Boston bulla at the Orpheum this week, has learned the art of making his four- footed friends do their stunts through kindness Instead of fear, and the dogs do some really fancy stunts. One of them turns a whole string of back soinsrsaulta across the stage In a way an acrobat might envy, while a pair of puppies keep the children In an up roar with their antics. It Is the mo.-c natural exhibition of canine Intelligence seen here In years. Through an error In the print shop, the billboards announce a pony show Instead of a dog circus, and the Or pheum promises a splendid pony show next week, when Howard's ponies have been secured to avoid disappointing the children. They will be admitted to matinees this week for 10 cents for any ■eat In the house. Hoey and Lea, the Hebrew come dians, are decidedly out of the ordinary in their comedy sketch, and are making a hit with their audiences every after- non and evening. At the South Side.

Lillian Blauvrlt, the famous prlma donna. "Dream City" ran all last sea son at Weber’s Broadway theater, New York city, and was conceded unani mously to be the most pretentious and successful production ever attempted by that progressive and up-to-date manager. In "Dream City" thpt clever author nod librettist, Edgar Smith, has. In conjunction with Maurice Levi, who wrote the particularly catchy and at tractive music, practically caught the trick, as It were, nf setting melodrama to music; the lifting oft the musical drama from Its own original sphere Into the atmosphere of opera. At ihe Bijou. While Ray Raymond, the title role star of "The Candy Kid" at the HIJou this week, has made good every prom ise that was made for him In advance, rather modest advance representative kept some mighty good things under cover that made brilliant light on Mon day night, and to the two tremendous gatherings that packed the theater on Tdesday. The star Is a clever comedian, a splendid vocalist, a sort of matinee Idol and a good actor, but he Is far from being the whole show. There Is chorus bunch that makes things good and lively; there are players in the cast that take excellent care or all that has hern given them to do. and th(\» Is a male quartet that would score a hit In any vaudeville bill. And there la Wanda Ludlow, a bit a girl who haa blen given the IerJJ Ing role, the oppnelte to “The CkuuJ Kid." She la going to be heard from In faster company, for she possesses every luallflcatlon. The Candy Kid" Is full of bright new vaudeville theater Increaaea and it Is rapidly establishing a reputation for delightful vaudeville.

One of these Is LaPetlte Harrison, of the comedy team of Harrison, West and Harrison, who la the smallest comedian on the stnge. He Is hardly aa tall aa a yard stick, and aa funny as the Katzenjammer Klda and Buster Brown combined. The little boy In Altken and son, equi librists, la the other.

There will be no matinees at the Pastime Theater, on Peachtree street, Wednesday, but the regular night per formances will take place aa usual.
