Jeannette Bogle Persists in
Trying to Kill Her
self.
Still ileteimlncd to dl«, pretty Jean
nette Bogle, who has failed In three
successive attempts to commit suicide,
late Saturday afternoon adopted a
unique method to conceal ft bottle of
chloroform, with which she Intended to
;tWke a fourth attempt on her life
Following the three attempts at sui
cide, officials of the American Salvation
Army placed the young woman in the!
hands of the sheriff, and she was taken |
to the Tower for safekeeping. It being j
hoped that this would prevent any fur
ther effort to kill herself. It was aus- |
pected that Miss Bogle had poison con
cealed somewhere about her person,
and Jailer Fain was notified of this sus
picion.
When the young woman was taken
back Into the prison Inside Jailer
Holloway was directed to search her
for poison. The Jailer failed, however,
to find any poison about her and was
about to give up the search, when he
thought of her hair.
On making a close examination, the
Jailer discovered a bottle of chloroform
concealed in the young woman's wealth
of hair. She had arranged the bottle
so It would serve the purpose of a rat,
and thus be less liable to discovery.
Miss Bogle appeared disconcerted
when the poison was found, but quick
ly exclaimed:
"It will do you no good to take that •
poison away from me. I am going to
kill myself just as soon os I get out of
here."
The young woman persists In the j
declaration that she intends to take
her life, having made this assertion
several times since being Incarcerated
In the Tower.
A number of people In the city have
interested themselves In the young
woman, since the publication of the
story, in The Georgian about her at
tempts at suicide, and several of them
have already visited her in Jail.
Members of the Association of Train
ed Nurses state that Miss Bogle has
no diploma as a trained nurse. It Is
stated that she served as nurse for a
short time, but Is not recognized by the
profession.
Hundreds think of the
store that saves them money
every season when there are
so many things to buy-so
many friends to be remembered.

brance as a nice piece of furniture-a

In the steel-barred arena, surround
ed by lions and tigers, Mercedes La-
Monte and Herr Louis Roth will be
married next Friday night, and one of
the principal attendants will be old
Vendrtdl, the savage lion whose attack
on Herr Roth last Friday night hurried
the wedding plans of Roth and hls
fiancee.
Who will be the minister to enter
like Daniel'of old Into the lions' den?
That has not been decided aa yet. Sev
eral of them backed Into a corner and
protested that they hfid other plans for
Friday evening, but Manager Tudor,
who is acting as best man for Herr
Roth, has not given up the pursuit. It
Is probable that the minister will be
permitted to stand Just outside the
arena, with the bars between him and
the bridal party.
The courtship of Louis Roth and Mer
cedes LaMonte Is an affair of several
months* standing. The young German
is one of the newest trainers to Join
Bnstock'a, and soon after he joined the
show at Jamestowh he met Miss La-
Monte, who has been associated with
the animals since childhood. An affec
tion sprang up between them, and they
became engaged a short time ago. It
bad been Intended to have the wedding
ceremony In London within a few
months, but the savage attack on Roth
by the lion last week caused a sudden
change of plans.
When Mile. LaMonte had beaten back
the lion which attacked her fiance, she
threw herself Into Herr Roth's arms
and rV»clared that they must no longer
delay their wedding, that the life was
too dangerous, too uncertain. When,
the excitement was.over and It was
found that Roth’s wounds would per
mit him to walk about In a few days,
the German held hls fiancee to her
promise, and they decided upon Friday
night for the wedding.
Mercedes LaMonte comes of a fam
ily of trainers, and her only home Is
the arena. When a tiny' baby her fa
ther held her In hls arma while she
was christened In the big cage In Paris,
and a score of lions formed a circle
around them while she received the
name of Mercedes.
“And I shall be married wlz ze Hon,
too," she declared. “I am not afraJd
of Vendrldl. And Louis? He Is not
afraid of anything.”

Mr. Jack Frost has left his visiting
card at the general offices of the Geor
gia Railway and Electric Company a..d
has reminded the officials that he is
soon to be with his friends In Atlanta
for quite a visit.
Aa a result of this reminder Runday
and Monday, preparations are being
made to get the electric heaters work
ing in all the cars by the time Mr.
Frost comes for hls annual stay. The
work of getting the heaters in shape la
always commenced In the fall, but as
they are out of commission all during
the summer, It takes some time to get
them all in shape. This work has been
almost completed and the officials an
nounce that everything will be In read
iness to warm the cars when the ne
cessity arises.
When this time does arrive It means
that the railway company will con
sume almost twlco as much electricity
as is now used to opertie the cars.
This Is caused by the fact that it takes
os much current to heat a car as it does
to operate it.
Peachtree street bridge clubs, bet
ting on horse races and the selling of
tobacco, candy and other articles on
Sunday, came In for some sharp raps
at the meeting of the Evangelical Min
isters' Association Monday morning.
No action was taken, but hints were
thrown out that the matters would be
handled ut a later date.
“We huve decided to wait until all
this excitement has quieted down be
fore taking any steps toward making
the cigar, confectionery and drug stores
conform to the state law,” said Dr. A.
R. Holderby, chairman of the Runday
observance committee. “However, us
It is now, you can buy nil kinds of
things on Sunday. The drug stores sei;
combs, perfumery or anything else.
The confectionery stores do a larger
candy and soda water business on Sun
day than during the week.
“We want to know why this Is. It is
direct violation of the state law.
However. It seems that the city ordi
nance has overridden the law of Geor
gia. It is nothing more nor less than
class discrimination. Here’s one man
running a drug store, who can sell any
thing he has on Sunday, and the shoe
nian next door would not dare moke a
single sale. A little later on we will
ndeuvor to have the law enforced.’’
Dr. John E. White, chulritmn of the
law and order committee, arose to ex
plain why there had been no prosecu
tion In connection with the alleged
gambling at the state fair. He said

that ow ing to a weak spot In the pres
ent statute no conviction could be se
cured although there was no doubt
about there being gambling at the atato
fair.
Rev. J. L. D. Hlllyer urged that a law
be secured which would cover similar
cases In the future. He then talked of
card playing, saying:
“These people on Peachtree street

J. F. Hanson a highly complimentary letter.
For several weeks the commission has had
three experts Inspecting the tracks of the
