TWO TOUCHING LETTERS
CONCERNING VETERANS
Mayor Winn, acting treasurer for the
Confederate veterans, has received two
letters which strikingly show the
strength of the appeal to the public for
funds to send the old veterans to the
reunion at Little Rock. One contained
a check for >100 from a working young
woman of Atlanta. The other brought
a subscription of $1 and came from a
pensioned Union soldier In Pcnnayl
vanla.
Certain classes of people are always
expected to give when the public Is
called on. and In addition there an' al
ways cases of beautiful self-sacrifice
and responses to unique appeals. For
the first few days the public was silent
In answer to the request for money for
the veterans, and many a one was dis
heartened with disappointment. Then
the two letters came, showing that
their cause had gained a foothold In
the heart of public sentiment. The
old fellows now declare they will get
quite enough money to pay the ex
penses of all who are unable to do so
for themselves to the grand rally at
Little Rock. *
Here's the letter from the young
women, who. asks that her name be
withheld from publication:
“My parents, of Virginia, who have
parsed to the beyond, were related to
the Leo family of Virginia, and, of
course, my Southern blood and soull
goes out to the old veterans of the sun
ny South.
“Time Is paroling the old guard one
by one and soon the last of the old
heroes will be gone. Nothing la too
good for them, and whatever they want
we should try to give them, and as
many of them want to go to the grand
reunion, to be held at Little Rock, and
ns you are doing all you can to send
them, please allow me to suggest that
you employ a few good solicitors to
canvass the city for the funds that are
necessary.
"As an evidence of my love for the
Old Remnant. I Inclose my check for
tho sum of >100. which I hope you will
use to get good canvassers, who ran
:ind will get the money.
"The citizens of Atlanta will not fall
company that took me In. I was taken
to Jackson, Miss., and kept for about
three months, and want to tell you I
was treeted all right. \
"So Inclosed you will And >1 to help
the poor old vets who wore the gray.
Now, my friends, what X would dke to
have Is a smnll Confederate flag, say
about 24 Inches square. One that was
made by a Southern lady In a Southern
state. I remain, yours,
••n. J. MANOAN.

merry lilt of The Fiddler and one or
two bits here and there from The
King’s Son or The Girl.
Of the thousands who sat under the
spell Friday night, there are twenty
talking today of the pictures on the
stage to one who discusses the music.
The flrat act shows the foreit and the
witch's hut. It Is summer, and The
Goose Girl lies on a grassy mound tend
ing her honking flock. A dove flits
across the stage, a raven preens and
flutters on tho roof. Beyond are the
hills and giant trees. To the right are
the waving lindens, every leaf as per
fect as tho the tree had been trans
planted fresh front the forest. The
second act shows the village of Hells
brunn. Just Inside the massive gates.
Villagers are walking about In quaint
costumes, the burgomasters are await
ing the coming of the promised king,
and from a great bell behind the scenes
boom the twelve strokes of noon. The
orchestra has been gradually working
up to Its climax. The bearded guard
pull down the monster bars and the two
gates swing open toward the stage.
There In a blaze of sunlight from be
vond the grassy 1 Ilia atanda The Goose
Girl, smiling, her herd nibbling at the
sward. The tableau there In the sun
light, held for a moment before The
Goose Girl trips down to meet the
youth,-Is the most beautiful picture the
stage has known perhaps In a decode;
And the last act la equally as lovely
i those hefore.it. It Is winter now
and the witch's hut Is storm-beaten and
snow-capped. Snow covers the sward
and the trees are wrapped In Its white
cloak. The water trough Is frozen and
Icicles hang from eave and bough. Down
thru the tree tops lift the dazzling
white flakes. Now and then the wind
whistles a gust that makes the listen
ers In the overheated Auditorium draw-
closer their wraps and shiver. It Is real
winter.
Of the presentation of the opera, there
can be no word of criticism and there Is
no basis for a comparison. One might
as well compare a diamond and a ruby
as German opera and Italian. The
Humperdinck music Is charming, but to
the average listener Its chief attraction
Is found more In the orchestra than In
the ^voices. It lacks the sweet, melo
dious arias of Verdi and Puccini; It has
none of the tremendous swelling duels
and trios which have made operas liko
Trovatore” hummed throughout the
world. But the orchestra wove about
the alngthg a web of accompaniment so
beautiful that sometimes one felt that

mits case stayed at the Ingsrsoll homo, nigsklnder’a" success not far below
the stage' and all upon It were merely
je for tho great tone poem swelling
from the pit below. Not since "Madame
Butterfly” has the orchestra so domi
nated In opera In Atlanta.
Miss Farrar Deligh
Geraldine Farrar Is delightful In her
new role. Always as great on actress
as a singer, she gave the part the deli
cate touch which made The Goose Girl a
creature more of fancy than of reality,
for "Koenlgsklnder" Is a fairy opera
and there Is always a feeling that Its
wo central figures,are hardly real, but
ethereal visions of youth and desire,
She had not the great dramatic mo
ments given her In "Tosca," but all the
girlishness and all the heart-breaking
pathos of “Butterfly" were there In
overflowing measure. Miss Farrar did
not look herself In the blond wig of
The Qoosc Girl, but her voice Is the
same clear soprano which Atlantans
bavq learned to love so well and tho
hlnnd German Geraldine found herself
as much a favorite as the black-haired
Clo-rio-San of a year ago.
Carl Jorn was the King’s Son and he
looked it. His red hunting costume and
his golden flowing locks were Just the
needed touch to make th* picture com-
ilete. Hid line voice was heard to Its
st advantage and there were mo
ments when It rose to a note or two
which seemed ta promise a magnificent
aria to come. But when the nudlenco
settled In Its scats In expectancy the
music drifted away Into more recita
tive and the aria was deferred. There
.. re frequent moments when It seemed
as tho a great appealing duet were to
be sung, but It never came. To de
votees of the Itatlnn opera the evening
was tilled with disappointments, rapid
ly dispelled by the beauty of bits bare
and there of Joyous song, and always
the consolation of that aplsndld orches.
tra.
And Just aa Amato carried off the
honors In the opening opera, Otto Go-
rltz, the German baritone, won all
hearts In the second. The role of The
Fiddler Is a compelling one, a sharp
contrast In Its rugged strength to the
half-real fleures of the royal children.
Ills splendid baritone wa* flrat heard
from behind the scenes In the rollick
ing "Troderaray." and It was the last
to die away In the tragic finale except
for the children's chant as they bore
away the bodies of the youth and the
girl. It Is a big voice, well rounded,
melodious, and it has perhaps never
been heard to better advantage than
In The Fiddler's role. Miss Wickham's
tine contralto was given full sway In
the double role of the Witch and the
Inn-Keeper's Daughter, and Dldur's
basso and Belsa' tenor had excellent
opportunity In the comedy roles. Reiss'
ability as a comedian was shown aa
well In The Broom-Maker as last sea
son, when he sang the old Jap In "But.
terflV" and The Witch In the first Hum.
perdlnck opera presented here.'
And another figure must not be for
gotten—the Child. Little Lotte Engel,
whose clear soprano rang out In a
few notes In the village scene and
broke Into a Joyous call of “Splelmann,
Splelmnnn. wlr kommen su dir" In the
wintry forest, was one of ths bright
spot* of ths opera, the rols A- symbol
of the faith of childhood which Is
sometimes wiser than the wisdom of
graybearda.
The Atlanta children were there,
running in with the burghers In the
second act, some of them trooping be
hind Lotte Engel aa the daughters of
the Broom-Maker and following the
crippled Klddlsr to his hut In the snow-
clad forest. They did not sing, or If
they did their voices could not be dis
tinguished In the chorus, but they
added a touch of completeness to the
scene and not one marred the action
by a false movement or a moment of
re fright
esi the geese were real, and they
were not tied to the stage. Perhaps
there wa* more curiosity over those
geese, which have been pictured so
often In the magazines, than about any
other detail of the opera. They were
there, tan or twelve grey and whit*
cackling fowls, and they waddled about
the stage, driven here and there by
The Oooae Girl's wands and quickly
responsive to her direction. They were
tucked away In a roomy coop at the
left exit as tbe audience emerged, and
as nearly everybody stopped for a peep
the thousands behind were consider
ably delayed. There were doves, too,
nd a raven, skillfully manipulated by
threads, and a moon which rose beau
tifully la a sky which seemed a million
r, so perfect were the scenic
effects prepared. To Edward Sledle,

The alleged confession of Ortle E. MoManlgal, union worker, In con
nection with the dynamiting of The Los Angelos Times plant and nu
merous other explosion outrages throughout the country, led the police of
Indianapolis to the discovery of the hiding places of the powerful explo
sive!. At the left is the dynamite vault under union headquarters in In
dianapolis. At the right is the barn adjoining the small farm house, and

qtion’s evidence. The detente of-
fered no testimony, . and Mrs. Lynn
mode no statement.
The cases of Mary Jacobs and Lula
Lowe, two servants, were dismissed.
Bond Not Allowed.
Attorneys Harvey Hill and John W.
Cox, representing Mrs. Lynn, made a
strong plea for bond. This plea, how
ever, was equally as strongly opposed
by the prosecuting attorneys. After
argument on this point had been made
on both sides, Judge Broyles declined to
allow bond, holding Mrs. Lynn for first
degree murder.
Counsel f6r the woman announce that
they will Immediately petition the Judge
of the superior court for bond. They
spy she Is In position to give ball In a
good, substantial sum. Any effort how
ever, to free the "medium” on bond will
bo hard fought by thb prosecution.
While brief, the hearing proved one
of the most dramatic and spectacular
rltnessed In Atlanta In a tong while,
endered so by the extraordinary na
ture of the charges, and the crowd of
spectators attracted by the promise of
sensational testimony. Among the spec
tators 'were a number of prominent
Wnshlngton-aJ. citizens who are Inter
ested In the prosecution and were pres
ent to watch the progress of the case.
Clerk Preston called the caae shortly
after 9 o'clock and at this time the
court room was packed almost to suf
focation. All available standing room
was occupied; men actuntly stood on
the bar railing, and It was found necea
sory to detail policemen to open a pass
agrway thru the crowd so the witnesses
could get Into the court room to be
sworn.
Mrs, Lynn Faces Crowd.
When Mrs. Lynn, accompanied by
Matron Bohnofeld, was ushered into the
court room she was Instantly the center
of all eyes, men all over the room cran
Ing their necks to got a glimpse of her.
The.aged prisoner had a turban-
shaped. flower-bedecked hat pulled
close down over her fare to hide her
featurce as much as possible from tbe
gaze of the curious throng, and never
once lifted her eyes. She was given a
seat close to her attorneys and directly
In front of the recorder. Mary Jacobs,
the negro cook, and Lula Lowe, the ne
gro maid, were next brought out of the
>risonera' room and stood near Mrs.
,ynn.
An array or witnesses were called for
the prosecution by Chief of Detectives
Lanford and Detectives Hollingsworth
and Hewell. who. with Policeman S. J.
Roberts, Probation' Officer Gloer and
Mrs. M. H. Barnett, the womap detect
ive. worked up the case. Attorney Hill
promptly announced that the defense
would call no witnesses Counsel fqr
the woman evidently expected the pros
ecution to show'Its full hand, but In
this they were disappointed, for the
prosecution determined to Introduce
only enough evidence to cause the re
corder to bind Mrs. Lynn over to the
E Vr courts.
iring the testimony of Mrs. Brat-
top, the nurse, she and Attorney Hill,
who cross-examined her, clashed sev
eral timet, and the attorney had to ap
peal to the court to force the wltneee
hts questions.
Ths Nurse's Story.
After telling of how she had been en
gaged by a certain young girl to go to
the Lynn home with her as a nurse,
Mrs. Bratton said:
'Mrs- Lynn advised the girl that the
child should be destroyed, altho the girt
objected to this. Mrs. Lynn told her
this would be beet and agreed to per
form the Operation for 126. The girl
finally consented. It appears, for an
operation was performed. She was
those awarded to composer, singers and
Herr Alfred Herts, whose baton waved

then told to come back In three days.
This she did; and still another opera
tion was performed. The girl Imme
diately became desperately III, and It
seemed os If she would die.
"Becoming' alanned over her condi
tion, I- telephoned to Dr. E. L. Griffin,
explaining the case to hint. Dr. Griffin
refused to come, to Mrs. Lynn's home,
but hqd the patient transferred to a
private sanitarium. I accompanied her
there.; She was then In a critical condi
tion. -Dr. Griffin performed an opera
tion and the child wa* found to be dead,
with a scar on Ita head and another
moon-ahaped scar on its shoulder.. Dr.
Grinin sold the child had been dead
several days."
"Did Mrs. Lynn ever call a physician
to attend the girl?” asked City Attor
ney Mayson.
"No; she did not," replied the wit
ness. "1 naked her If she had belter
call a physician and she said she didn’t
need a physician, that she was a good
enough doctor herself."
This Incident, she said, took place
when Mrs. Lynn lived at 20 Klng-st.,
about two years ago.
The witness also told of several other
operations having been performed
Mrs. Lynn, no doctor ever being call
Heard Babies Were Burned.
Asked by the city attorney If she
knew anything of babies being ere
mated In tbe Lynn horqe, the witness
told of the remark made to her by
Mary Jacobs, the cook, to the effect that
“live babies had been burned In every
grate In ths house.”
This statement created a stir, but At
torney Hill was ready with a motion
that It be ruled out of the record, as It
was hearsay.
Judge Broyles sustained th
and ruled out tne statement.
Mrs. Bratton created another sensa
tion by a declaration concerning what
she said was an effort on the part of
Attorney Burton Cloud to "pump” her
Friday night In tho police station as to
what she knew concerning Mrs. Lynn.
Mr*. Bratton, with another woman,
had been detained In the station as
material witnesses, and the Incident
took place in the detention ward. At
torney Cloud was not present Saturday
morning and had no part In tho hear
ing.
Accuses an Attorney.
"Attorney Cloud,” said Mrs. Bratton,
came back to the' detention ward,
called me to the door, told me he was
the city attorney and that he had come
to question me as to what I knew of
Mrs. Lynn and her home. He was In
an Intoxicated condition at the tlmp. I
knew, however, that he was not the city
attorney and refused to talk to him,
telling hint simply that what I knew 1
would tell on the witness stand. He
Insisted that I talk to him and tried to
pick me, but I positively refused."
Attorney Hill Immediately objected to
this statement going In the record. Al
ready angered at the attorney, Mrs.
Bratton exclaimed;
I want It In the record. It’s true.
Just as everything else I’ve told Is
true.”
It was admitted In the record as evi
dence.
In telling of another girl who applied
at tho Lynn home. Mrs. Bratton said:
Asked $500 From Girl.
"This girl asked Mrs. Lynn to per
form an operation, and Mrs. Lynn con
sented, remarking, however, that her
fee would be $600. The girl explained
that she could not afford this sum, and
left without the operation.”
