ANGLIN if SUE
FDR LOVE THEFT
W. R. Jester, Whose Charges
Against Irate Husband Fell
Flat. Faces $25,000 Suit.
W. R. Je«ier. the Atlanta contractor,
whose affair with the wife of John T.
Anglin took the couple through a dos
en states and across the continent,
faces a threatened suit of 125.000 by
Anglin for alienation of affection, fol
lowing the loss of Jester's suit against
Anglin in the Macon city court yester
day. Both men are In Atlanta today,
and Anglin Is said to be preparing his
suit The Macon trial was the out
come of an attack on Jester by Anglin
fr the streets of Macon last October,
and was one of the most sensational
ever heard in Bibb county.
The jury returned a verdict vindicat
ing Anglin, and asked permission to
declare Jester’s prosecution a malicious
one. in order.that the heavy costs of
the suit might be charged to the At
lanta contractor This was not per
mitted by the court. Jester was given
the most scathing denunciation in the
history of the Bibb county courts John
P Ross, attorney for Anglin, called
Jester every name which possibly could
be pronounced In court, and Jester sat
within a few feet of the lawyer and
merely amlled.
The charge of Jester was that when
he met Anglin on the street In Macon
the latter drew a pistol and gave him a
terrible beating. Though the charges
were well substantiated, the Jury evi
dently believed Anglin justified in his
attack on the man who had, he be
lieved. tried to rob him of his wife
The story of the Jester-Anglin affair
became known to the public when Mrs
Anglin left her husband in El Paso.
Texas, and went to visit her mother in
San Franclaoo. Bhe met Jester there,
and returned on the same train to At
lanta and Macon. Anglin gnve chase,
but arrived in San Francisco only to
learn that his wife had disappeared He
took the trail a«aln and followed his
wife and Jester across the continent to
Macon. He met the pair there, and it
wa* then that he tried to kill the man
who had robt*fl him of his wife. All
these facts were brought out In detail
at the trial. The testimony of a hotel
clerk that .Teeter and Mrs. Anglin reg
istered at the hotel last October under
assumed names was one of the princi
pal bits of evidence brought out at the
trial.
Attorney Rosa declared to the jury
that Jester, a man of wealth, was
hounding Anglin through the courts in
order to crush him and pave the way
for’closer intimacy with Mrs. Anglin.
Her husband Is suing for divorce and
already has obtained one decree.
A STATEMENT.
To the Editor of The Georgian
You published in today's issue of
your paper purported extracts of the
Anglin trial in Macon which do great
Injustice to Mrs. Anglin.
As one of the witnesses and Inter
ested only to the extent of seeing the
whole truth published and Justice done
all parties, which position 1 am confi
dent you occupy also, 1 desire to say
that the statement of Alex Thompson
was completely and entirely disproved
by the testimony of Mr Croom, clerk
st th* European hotel, and the Euro
pean hotel register itself, which shows
that rooms 10 and 16 were not occu
pied by any women during all the time
Mra. Anglin resided In Macon
It was al«o proven that Mrs Anglin
had not been out of her home at night
at any time during her stay in Macon,
except In the company of her father
I examined the rooms and hallways
of the European hotel and positively
state that Alex Thompson could not
possibly see who ilvent tn or ont of
rooms 10 and 16 from the positions he
said he occupied when he claimed to
have seen the transaction
Mr. Jester proved by the parties
rooming with him, and the hotel regis
ter, that he spent bls nights when in
Macon at the Dinkier hotel.
Mrs. Anglin's good character was
testified to by two ladies and three gen
tlemen who bad known her sin< e child
hood. and also the lady at whose house
she boarded while tn Macon
