Mrs. Callie Scott Appelbaum collapsed in Judge Roan's court this afternoon as lawyers for the state and defense engaged in a lively argument over the admission of certain evidence taken at the coroner's inquest. The prisoner, who had stood the ordeal up to that time with remarkable stoicism, suddenly pitched forward in her seat, apparently overcome by the heat in the stuffy little court room. Court attendans rushed to her aid and she was carried into the judge's chamber adjoining, where she rested quite comfortably while the trial proceeded. Dr. J. S.

The peo ple of Georgia, as well as the rest of the country, like Ty Cobb, and they want to see him get all he earns. "It may seem romantic to talk of a salary of $20,000 for a baseball star, but that salary is an established fact with stars of the theater.

That Mrs. Appelbaum was un der the influence of a hypnotic drug taken the night before and moved in a trance. That Mrs. Appeibaum loved her Husband and had made great sac rifices for him.
