WATSDN MUST 8E
SQUARE MERCER
Game Commissioner Tells of
i the “Disgorging” of SIB.OOO
I
to the Boyd Heirs.
Slate Game and Pish Commissionei
Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald. who
threatens to force Thomas E. Watson
to right an alleged financial wrong
done the widow of Watson's law part
ner, Green, if he (Mercer) had to go
to Thomson and “cowhide” Watson
into doing it, has added another chap
ter to Watson-Mercer story.
Mercer says, merely for a fee, Mr.
Watson sought and brought a “fake"
law suit against the executors of the
late Captain P. E. Boyd’s estate, one
of whom Mr. Mercer was, and that aft
er grabbing a big fee for himself. Wat
son threw to the winds all pretense of
necessity for his employment by the
Boyd heirs, and undertook to appro
priate practically aJI of It to himself
thus wronging his law partner, Green,
then on his death bed, and since wrong
ing his widow, who has endeavored
In vain to recover from Watson.
Watson said Mercer was only mad
at him because Watson had forced
Executor Mercer to “disgorge $lB,-
000" to the Bayd heirs Watson repre
sented.
.Mercer has sent the following wire
to The Georgian:
I see what Tom Watson ‘says
about disgorging SIB,OOO by execu
tors of the Boyd estate.
That is one of his sharp tricks.
The amount should have been
much more, and would have been
but for Tom's eagerness for a fee.
Watson settled for much less than
the interest of his clients was
worth, but he got the fee. and
that's what he seemed to want.
The amount "disgorged” by the
executors was a smaller amount
than we would have paid if there
had been no Watson in the case,
looking carefully to his fee.
He must now treat the widow of
his old la.w partner on the square,
and not heap indignity on her be
cause she is defenseless.

PMOONII FUN
STARTS TUESDAY
Thousands of Atlanta Young
sters Eagerly Awaiting Sea
son of Frolic in Parks.
i
Atlanta's playground directors met
today and made final preparations to
loose the spirit of frolic for thousands
of children on the city playgrounds
Tuesday.
Dan Carey, general manager of parks,
and Miss Mary Barnwell, supervisor of
playgrounds, have Just returned from
the American Playground association
convention at Cleveland, tilled with all
the new ideas of how to conduct these
institutions. They promise that the
opening of these little parks Tuesday
will begin the greatest, playground sea
son Atlanta has ever known.
“The children will come to these
parks by the thousands,” said Mr. Ca
rey. “All that is necessary is to invite
them, and they rush to the, playgrounds
in hordes. What we hope to impress
by the work this summer is the poor
appropriation in comparison with other
cities and to arouse a greater interes.
among citizens generally in this deep
meaning feature of park work.”
Training for Future Citizens.
Miss Barnwell, who is to be in active
charge of all the playgrounds, said
undoubtedly a better quality of citi
zenship Is developed from the boy who
is loyal to his team, and after his time
at bat goes gladly to the hot, dusty
field to catch an occasional ‘fly than
from the boj’ who loses interest as Soon
as he has had his try at the bat.
“That is Just the sort of spirit the
playground teaches,” she said. “It is a
recognized fact that the child who ha°
had the richest play experience is best
prepared for the complex life of citi
zenship.
"1 do not know why it is. but At
lantans do not seem to have awakened
to the real significance of this work.
We are going to try to reveal its real
importance.
Parents Urged To Attend.
“We open eleven playgrounds this
summer. We want the city officials
and parents to come out and see. how
they are conducted. When they see the
young women directors leading the
children in games that develop team
spirit, swiftness, fairness, the right at
titude toward defeat and success, and,
what is more obvious, health and vigor,
through play in the open air and sun
shine. playgrounds will have impressed
themselves as among the great institu
tions of the city.
“And we will show them the chil
dren just as jolly and care-free as
though their play had no serious mean
ing.”
The hours at the playgrounds will be
from 9 to 11:30 in the morning and
from 3:30 to 6:30 in the evenings.

TRIAL IMMINENT
Court Sustains Decision Aiding
Defense, and Prosecutor
Threatens to Balk.
LOS ANGELES. CAL.. June 15
Sudden termination of the trial of
Clarence S. Darrow for jury bribery
is threatened today by the prosecu
tion.
The defense won an important vic
tory when Judge Hutton sustained his
ruling, permitting Darrow’s attorneys
to put on the stand Anton Johanssen
and Olaf Tvietmoe to prove that Dar
row was-not connected with the re
moval from the jurisdiction of the Cal
ifornia courts of Mrs. Flora Caplan as
a state McNamara witness.
District Attorney Ford had intimaetd
that he would be compelled to end the
trial if Judge Hatton sustained his
ruling.
It was said that should the prosecu
tion refuse to proceed, the court would
be compelled either to appoint a spe
cial prosecutor or dismiss the case and
free Darrow.
In this event the district attorney
could take up the prosecution of Dar
row under another indictment.

W 5 BRIDE
NUR CONTEMPT
Georgia Girl. Wife of Aged Mil
lionaire. Ejected From New
York Court Room.
NEW YORK. June 15. —Giggles—the
kind that chase ail care away—nearly
cost pretty Mrs. Effie Pope Hill Alsop,
the erstwhile belle of Washington. Ga.,
who married a millionaire, 75 years
old, her liberty. As it was, the judge
w-ho couldn't sec any humor in the
giggles compromised by ejecting Mrs.
Alsop from the court room and the gay
little bride is as free as ever today.
Anyhow, it was all the fault of dash
ing Mrs. Tom Pierce, who used to be
famous as a horsewoman and was un
der arrest for refusing to pay a board
bill. Mrs. Pierce, weepy and indig
nant before Magistrate Herbert, in the
night court, struck petite Mrs. Alsop as
being just too funny for tlie world.
Nobody knew in the first place that
Mrs. Alsop. who had just returned from
a honeymoon with her husband and
$20,000 worth of jewels, was in the
court room.
Giggles Annoy Court.
But during the hearing Magistrate
Herbert was greatly annoyed by the
actions of a young woman among the
specta’ors, who treated the whole affair
as a huge joke. This woman was al
most a replica of Mrs. Pierce in her
dress, and Mrs. Pierce's predicament
seemed to her extremely funny. She
laughed loudly and constantly, and
finally, after she had been warned once
or twice. Magistrate Herbert ordered
her ejected from the court room.
Then It was learned that she was
Mrs. Alsop, who, six weeks after her
marriage in February last, retired to
the sanitarium at Litchfield, Conn.,
which at the time was sheltering Mrs.
Pierce. They 'had been friends before
that time and were close chums during
the two weeks that they were In the
retreat together. They left the place at
the same time and came back to New
York together. Shortly afterward Mrs.
Alsop went abroad.
On her arrival from Europe yester
day, Mrs. Alsop said: "I'm glad to
get back, but I’ve had a wonder of a
time, believe me.”
Until February last Mrs. Alsop was
pretty Effie Hill, the "Hello Girl" at
the Knickerbocker. In spite of her
aunt's objections, she eloped with the
elderly millionaire. The "rings" she
got on the Knickerbocker switchboard
w’ere never so many as she wore on
her fingers yesterday.
$20,000 Rings on Hands.
Deputy Collector John O’Connor al
most lost his eyesight when he ap
praised the gems on Mrs. Alsop's hands.
“Twenty thousand dollars!” he
gasped.
Mrs. Alsop seems so proud of her
rings that she carries- her gloves in the
palms of her hands.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who no
ticed Mrs. Alsop on board, asserted
that the bride was the prettiest little
woman she had seen. "She is so de
voted," added the poetess. "Spring and
winter never mingled :r. Lank and.
perfect harmony.”
When Mrs. Wilcox's words were re
peated to the former "Hello Girl" she
smiled, blushed a little and answered:
"Now, stop that talk. You can't get
me to swallow it. I know you reporters
too well. Pose for a picture? I would
if I dared, but Mr. Alsop objects."
The bridegroom said it was the end
of their wedding trip.
"Don't say that.” his young wife re
sponded. "We’ve just had a jaunt over
the waves. Please don't look upon us
as old married folks.”
