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 suit was the outgrowth of marital trou bles of the Anglins, which already had attracted wide attention. The story included a chase across the 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 today also asks the sum of $1,994.80. to repay expenses in curred by Anglin in his transcontinen tal trips and in other 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, a wealthy contractor, and his name Is several times 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 filed against me Is that at the proper time and place the animus of same will be shown up and the charges will be shown to be false and without foundation." Says He Spent 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 on the mind of Mrs. Anglin and by showing her the allurements of a life of luxury 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 his wife, at the time he was paying these attentions to Mrs. Anglin. "Your petitioner has spent all his money 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 that at times he has not had even car fare.” He alleges further that Jester has given Mrs. Anglin valuable pres 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 Paso, Texas, where Anglin had ac cepted a railroad job. Left Husband in West and Came Here. 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 been a cloud on the honeymoon thus far. But Mrs. Anglin remained in Atlanta and finally a letter “from one of her lady friends” came to Anglin telling him Bradshaw's illness was not such as to render his daughter's presence nec essary. Then Anglin's brother wroto that Mrs. Anglin was taking daily mo- I 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 tather went with her. It was a short time after this, recites Anglin, that he discovered his wife writing a letter She started in surprise, and lie became suspicious.

Chance Not Yet Free to Manage Yankees, Herrmann Declares Hitch Develops in Deal That Was to Send Famous Leader to New York.

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 w ear . ight, immodest dresses.” These three faults, Mrs. Bohnefeld de. dared, 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 as 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 holders on North BohloVS'rd ‘ last'night G. M In - grund, president of the Southern Bitu lithic Company of Nashville, deelaied that the bituminous macadam on North Boulevard which has called forth the denunciation of the property holders was a mere "makeshift," but is just what the specifications call for. He said the fault was not with his company, but with the people, who had decided upon a form of paving which will not stand the wear of heavy traffic. He also declared that his company would finish the contract unless pro hibited by a eouit order, but made a proposition to take off tne top paving already laid and replace it witii morel substantial material, at an additional I 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 and the contractor.

LIFER FREED FOR QUELLINGMUTINY 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 lias fought cease lessly to 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 «0 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. THE WEATHER Fair tonight and Thursday; cold er.

Mr. Candler 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 Gfmbel 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 revolutionised. There has been other talk about a sky scraper, but gossip of the department store lias been much more general.
