ANGLIN IW SUE
[OH LOVE THEFT
w. R. Jester, Whose Charges
Against Irate Husband Fell
Flat. Faces $25,000 Suit.
W R. Jester, the Atlanta contractor,
vhose affair with the wife of John T.
Anglin took the couple through a doz
(I1 states and across the continent,
fa, ps a threatened suit of $25,000 by
Anglin for alienation of affection, fol
the loss of Jester's suit against
Anglin in the Macon city court yester
rttiv Both men are in Atlanta today,
a „,l' .Anglin is said to be preparing his
sun The Macon trial was the out
line of an attack on Jester by Anglin
fn the streets of Macon last October.
,nd was one of the most sensational
fV .. r heard in Bibb county.
The jury returned a verdict vindicat
ing Anglin. and asked permission to
dp.’late Jester’s prosecution a malicious
, in order.that the heavy costs of
the suit might be charged to the At
)anta 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
b. pronounced in court, and Jester sat
within a few feet of the lawyer and
merely smiled.
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 E! Paso..
Texas, and went to visit her mother in
pan Francisco. She met Jester there,
and returned on the same train to At
lanta and Macon. Anglin gave chase,
but arrived In San Francisco only to
ham that his wife had disappeared. He
took the trail again and followed his
wife and Jester across the continent to
Macon. He met the pair there, and it
was then that he tried to kill the man
who had roblMl him of his wife. All
these facts were brought out in detail
at the triad. The testimony of a hotel
glerk that Jester 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 Ross 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 pf the witnesses and inter
ested only'to the extent of seeing the
whole truth published and justice done
all parties, which position I am confi
dent you occupy also. I desire to say
that the statement of Alex Thompson
was completely and entirely disproved
by the testimony of Mr. Croom, clerk
at the 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
Mrs. Anglin resided in Macon.
It was also 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 went in or out ot
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 his nights tvhen 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 since child
hood, and also the lady at whose house
she boarded while in Macon.

PAT THE THEATERS
LARGE AUDIENCES SEE
“THE WHITE SLAVE” AT LYRIC)
Audiences that are testing the capacity I
of the Lyric are seeing “The White
Slave. The play is presented in a clever
manner and is well worth seeing. The
singing and dancing of the darkies in
the second act make a realistic pic
ture of old plantation times. Taken as a
whole, “The White Slave'' is scoring a hit,
and is pleasing patrons of the Lyric.
There will be a matinee Saturday
The Lyric offers next week Wagenhal

A mother's love, a mother's grief, a

laws, the everlasting truth and power,
are among the features of James Hal- I

will appear at the Atlanta Monday and

GRAND OPENS MONDAY
WITH KEITH VAUDEVILLE
. I® o'clock Saturday morning the
a L ,lie Grand will be opened
sAu.i le »> sa e sea . ,s f°r the opening week,
with the except ion of several hundred
permanent reservations that have been '
applied for during the last few weeks the
rack will be open to the first caller for
the choice of any seat for any perform
ance during the week of the opening
starting with Monday matinee, on Sep
tember 16, ami continuing twice daily
regularly thereafter. The policy of
Grand will be Keith vaudeville of the
sort that appears in the principal vaude
ville theaters of the world, seven acts and
motion pictures.
Regular patrons of vaudeville who haw
held reservations season in and out have ■
been cared for. and not until the first
callers at the box office have been sup
plied will any other seats be put aside. I
for it is the purpose of the management
to have everybody on the same basis as
to favors.
The opening bill has been selected with
great care. It is a combination of talent
that would be a credit to the greatest
vaudeville theater in the land '1 he acts
are of the highest known quality, everx
one stood the required test, and there
is not the slightest eontiiction in anv part
of the bill.
The headliner will be Willard Simms
and company, presenting "Flinders' Fur
nished Flat," the most absurd comedv
creation that vaudeville affords. It is
a tale of the trials of a flat dweller who
tries to do his own wall papering, and
his troubles will make the sternest grouch
laugh. Josie Heather, the pretty Eng
lish comedienne, will be another head
liner, and, for a special added attraction.
Caesar Rivoli has been assigned a posi
tion on the bill. This wonderful artist
will be a revelation, and the acts of Dol
ley and Saves, Ford and Maxwell. Marti
netti and Sylvester and Kluting’s enter
tainers make a bill of worth while value.
CROWDS CONTINUE TO
FILL THE FORSYTH
There has never been such a real suc
cess scored by anything theatrical in At
lanta to even compare with the triumph
of popular vaudeville at the busy Forsyth.
The policy of presenting five Keith acts
with a series of interesting motion pic
tures has met with the approval of the
atergoers to that degree that attendance
has climbed along until the departure has
been declared a permanent fixture.
The bill for this week has done much
to cement this condition of affairs and on
Thursday the attendance records broke
the highest register since the inauguration
