SUIT CULLED
'SPITE' DY
JESTED
Rich Contractor Accused of I
Theft of a Wife’s Love
Brands Charge False.
'RAILROAD MAN TELLS
HOW HE TRAILED PAIR
Declares He Spent His Meager
Fortune Following Them
Over United States.
“Anglin’s charges against me are false
and without foundation. The animus
behind them will be shown up at the
proper time and place,” said W. R. Jes
ter today, in a statement to The Geor
gian, replying to the suit filed against
him in the superior court by J. T. An
glin.
Anglin sued Jester for $50,000 dam
ages. charging that Jester had alien
ated the affections of Mrs. Anglin. The
>uit was the outgrowth of marital trou
bles of the Anglins, which already had
attracted wide attention.
The story included a chase across tiie
American continent, with Anglin as
pursuer, and Jester and Mrs. Anglin as
pursued; a fight between Anglin and
Jester in Macon a short time ago, and
a divorce suit Instituted by Mrs. An
glin.
Father of Wife
Also Is Accused.
The damage suit -I’auy pJst, uses ■the
sum of $1,994.80. to repay expenses in
curred by Anglin in his trans continen
tal trips and hi travels on the
trail of his wife.
Ira. Bradshaw, father of Mrs. Anglin,
and formerly a carpenter in Jester’s
employ, is alleged to have had knowl
edge of his daughter’s infatuation for
Jester, wealthy contractor, and his
name is several limes brought into the
suit.
Jester's statement today follows;:
All that I desire to say at this
time in reference to the sensation
al allegations made by J. T. Anglin
in the suit tiled against me is that
at the proper tiirr- and place the
animus of same will b- shown up
and the charges will be shown to
be false and without foundation."
Says He Spert All
His Money Trailing Pair.
Anglin recites In his suit that Jes
ter. by his fortune of $300,000, cunning
ly, craftily and with great subtlety,
worked or: the mind of Mrs. Anglin and
by shoving her the allurements of a
life of iuxury and ease, such as Anglin
could not give her, gained a great
ascendency over her. He alleged that
Jester was a married man, though sep
arated from ills wife, at the time lie
was paying these attentions to Mrs.
Anglin.
"Your petitioner iias spent all his
monej in an effort to frustrate the de
signs of Jester," recites the petition,
“and by reason of twice crossing the
continent to prevent the wreck of his
home has been reduced to such straits
tiiat at times he has not had even car
fare.” H- alleges further that Jester
lias given Mrs. Anglin valuable pres
-5 ents of diamonds, clothing, pleasure
, trips and other luxuries.
The suit recites that Anglin married
Mamie Bradshaw, daughter of Ira
’ Bradshaw, a carpenter, on April 19.
1911. in Atlanta, and the couple went to
El Faso. Texas, win-re Anglin had ac
cepted a railroad job.
i Left Husband in
West and Caine Here.
1 Soon after there came messages pur
porting to be from the bride’s father,
' begging her to come home on account
‘ of his Illness. About June 7 Mrs. Ang
lin left for Atlanta, leaving her husband
behind, Happy in the belief that she
would return to him. There had not
t been a cloud on the honeymoon thus
far
But Mrs. Anglin remained in Atlanta
51 and finally a letter “from one of her
I lady friends" came to Anglin telling
i him Bradshaw’s illness was not such as
• to render his daughter’s presence nec
essary. Then Anglin’s brother wrote
that Mrs Anglin was taking daily mo
, tor rides with W. R. Jester. And at
the same time came a letter from the
, wife, saying she was enjoying life in
, Atlanta and hated to leave.
But Mrs. Anglin returned to El Paso
and her father went with her. It was a
short time after this, recites Anglin,
that he discovered his wife writing a
letter. She -tarted in surprise, and he
became suspicious. After a struggle

CINCINNATI, Dec. 18.—Despite all
reports to the contrary, the declaration ■
was made here today by Garry Herr- ’
mann, president of the Cincinnati Reds, '
that he has not released Frank Chance, I
former Cub manager, to the New Yok
Highlanders. Herrmann obtained
Chance through the waiver route.
When Joe Tinker was traded to Cin

Police Matron Warns
Girls of Tight Dresses
And 'Trotting* Streets
Three “don’ts" for girls were issued
today by Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld, police
matron, who has come in contact with
several hundred young women during
the year. She says:
“Don’t trot the streets and make a
spectacle of yourself.
"Don't paint and powder and burden .
your head with false hair.
"Don’t wear tight, immodest dresses.”
These three faults, Mrs. Bohnefeld de
clared, have figured in the case of
every girl brought to her notice this
year.
"I have found," said Mrs. Bohnefeld,
“that the wayward girl, the girl who
will not be controlled by her parents,
who frequents the streets, who paints
and powders and wears great bunches
of false hair and tries to be as fancy
a- possible, and who thinks it smart to
wear immodest clothing, is the kind of
girl who finally lands in the police sta
tion. These three faults invariably go
together."
BOULEVARD PAVING
ONLY A MAKESHIFT.
SAYS CONTRACTOR
At a meeting of property Jioiders on
North Boulevard last night G. Ai. In
grund. president of the Southern Bitu
lithfc Company of Nashville, declared
that the bituminous macadam on North
Boulevard which has called forth the
denunciation of the property holders
was a mere "fnakeshlft," but Is just
what the specifications cal! for.
He said the fault was not witli his
company, but with the people, who had
decided upon a form of paving which
will not stand the wear of heavy traffic.
Ho also declared that his company
would finish the contract unless pro
hibited by a court order, but made a
proposition to take off the top paving
already laid and replace it with more'
substantial material, at an additional
cost.
A committee of property holders will
be appointed to look into the several
propositions offered for the reconstruc
tion of the street, and to decide upon a
definite plan with the city construction
department ant! the contractor.
JUDGE BELL TURNS
COSMOPOLITAN LIFE
OVER TO THE STATE
Superior Judge Bell today formally
turned the affairs of the Cosmopolitan
Life Insurance Company over to the
state in a consent order taken by all
attorneys concerned.
Assistant Commissioner John Cope
land said today that the company's af
fairs would be administered by the
state for the present, at least until all
the facts concerning Its condition had
been brought to light to the satisfac
tion of all persons interested.
He said it was the determination of
the state to keep the company a going
concern, if possible, and its affairs
wo'il J be liquidated only as a last re
sort. It is more than likely that a
rec ratal fixation of the company will ba
permitted if matters are adjusted prop
erly.

Giant Negro Who Saved War
den in Convict Uprising Is
Granted Parole.
For quelling a mutiny of negro con
victs In the Sumter county camp three
years ago, and probably saving the life
of Warden Christian, of Americus. Mitt
Hammond, a life term negro prisoner,
sent up from Decatur county for mur
der in 1898, was paroled today by Gov
ernor Brown.
Warden Christian has fought cease
lessly tq,have Hammond freed since the
morning the giant black stepped into a
crowd of angry convicts and held them
back while the officer pulled his gun
and put down an incipient mutiny.
Christian says he entered the gates of
the camp one Sunday morning and was
assaulted by a mob of convicts, who
were waiting for him. He says he
learned later that a carefully planned
jail delivery was on the program. H
was to be overpowered and perhaps
murdered, and the 6fi convicts in the
camp were to scatter over the country
side.
"Hammond, help me,” Christian call
ed, as two convicts pinioned his arms
and grabbed at his gun.
The warden told the governor that
Hammond jumped out of the crowd and
grappled with the prisoners, while the
officer yanked his gun free and covered
the leaders of the uprising
Hammond’s crime was the slaying of
another negro In a fight. It was as
serted to the chief executive that there
were extenuating circumstances.

of Candler Store.
Asa G. Candler, owner of the Candler

building, the Candler building at Times
square. New York, and a score of other
valuable Atlanta properties, has taken
the first definite step In tile improve
ment of his 260 feet of frontage on the
west side of Peachtree street, just north
of Ellis. This move was made today,
and consisted of application to tear
down the old Capital City club property
at. the northwest corner of Peachfefl
ami Ellis streets, just across from where
the Wfnecoff hotel is to be.
W. C. Flournoy, of the wrecking firm
of Denton & Flournoy, 26 1-2 North
Broad street, applied for a permit at
building Inspector Hays’ office. The
cost of tearing down tiie structure will
be $2,600, and the job will be done tn
about 70 days, or by March 1.
Mr. Candlar made announcement of
no definite plans for Improving this
property and the adjacent 160 feet, but
he has considered several propositions.
For some time there has been talk
of a giant department store, after the
fashion of Gimbel Brothers or Wana
maker’s in New York, or Marshall
Field's in Chicago, and it has been the
talk that such an institution would clus
ter around It such a host of stores and
business houses that the immediate sec
tion would be completely revolutionized.
There has been other talk about a sky
scraper, but gossip of the department
store has been much more general.

WOMAN’S FIGHT FOR
$2,000,000.00 ATLANTA
PROPERTY IS BEGUN
Mrs. Eleanor Gunby, of Florida, filed
a suit in superior court today to decide
the titles to Nos. 38 to 43, inclusive,
West Alabama street, this being the
first of a series of "John Doe" suits
growing out of the recently announced
determination of Mrs. Gunby to attempt
recovery of about $2,006,000 worth of
central Atlanta property to which she
claims to be heir.
The suit today was filed by Mrs. Gun
by, as "John Doe," against C. J. Mc-
Kinney, administrator of the Mary J.
Rucker estate, as "Richard Doe," and
the property involved is occupied by the
Enterprise Manufacturing Company
and the Gullet Engine Company.
Mrs. Gunby, a daughter of Clark
Howell, Sr., lays claim to valuable
property through the estate of her
grandfather, Nathaniel E. Gardner, on
a title granted in 1860. She asserts
that one C. W. Dill, executor, disposed
of certain properties which he had no
right to dispose of. and these now are
worth about $2,000,000.

Morgan Testifies
Before Probers
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—With J. P.
Morgan on the stand, the house money
trust investigating committee suddenly
adjourned at 2:59 p. m. until tomorrow
at 10:30. Morgan bad been testifying
only nineteen minutes when Chairman
Pujo suddenly announced the commit
tee would adjourn. This announcement
was due to the discovery of the fact
that Mr. Morgan had not produced cer
tain agreements with Interstate corpo
rations for which his counting house
acted as fiscal agent.
Morgan was only questioned by Un
terrneyer as to hit partners in the firm
'of J. P. Morgan A Co.
“Does your New York house do a
banking business?" asked Nntenneyer.
"We try to. We do not clear through
the clearing house. Outside checks are
cleared over our counters."
“Is there any banking business your
firm doos not do?”
“We do not issue bank notes.”
Receive All Deposits.
“Do you receive deposits of Interstate
corporations?"
"Yes, I suppose so. Some are inter
state and some are not. We receive de
posits from all classes of corporations.”
Untenneyer then produced a state
ment of the amount on deposit in the
Morgan bank by interstate corpora
tions. He asked Mr. Morgan to identi
fy the total.
“I prefer that some one else do that,”
said Morgan, "some one who knows
about It. 1 presume your statement is
correct. Some one of my firm who
knows about these matters will accept
it."
At this Juncture Richard Lindabury,
counsel for Morgan, said he did not
offer the statement, but he understood
It had been obtained from the public
records by the money trust committer.
He asked Mr. Untermeyer to read It
into the records, which was done.
Refuses Depositors' Names.
“Does this statement refer to the
source of information ?" asked Linda
bury.
“It does not," replied Untermyer.
Then turning to Morgan, I'ntermyer
said:
“This statement. Mr. Morgan, does
not give the name of the firms depos
iting with you. I understand that you
do not wish to give the names?"
“I do not,” said Mr. Morgan.
