BY ENEMIES IN WIFE'S
DETERMINE ION TO SUE
Teacher Driven to
Suicide by 'Blues’-
MACON, Sept. 2.—Thus far efforts
of mutual friends to bring about a
reconciliation between Dr. A. B. Hin
kle and his wife, Mrs. Nita Hinkle,
who are estranged, have been un
availing. and Mrs. Hinkle has reiter
ated her intention of immediately
suing for divorce. She has placed the
matter in the hands of John R. L.
Smith, her attornev. and it is stated
the suit will be filed as soon as he
can prepare the papers.
Dr. Hinkle declares that his ene
mies are urging his wife to take this
course. He says he still loves l.er
find their children, and does not pro
pose to do anything to bring further
disgrace upon them. He declares ne
intends to remain in Macon and prac
tice his profession and in time con
vince the public that he has been a
true and loyal husband and father
during his 25 years of marriei life.
Scores Husband's Conduct.
Mrs. Hinkle, on the tther hand,
charges that her husband's conduct
has been such as to cause her and
the children to be ostracized by their
former friends, and chat she had fully
determined to seek a legal separa
tion.
Mrs. Hinkle and the children have
for the time being left the palatial
Hinkle ret. lence and are residing
with Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Lanier in
the Navarro Apartments. Dr. Hinkle*
and his 80-year-old mother, Mrs
Laura Hinkle, of New York, whole
hip was hroken in the family mele?
Saturday nit'.it. are occupying the
Hinkle home. Mrs. Nita Hinkle : x.vs
she will not molest her husband un
til his mother has recovered, but ne
must then leave. The aged Mrs. Hin
kle is in a serious condition.
The home a*.d ppctially all the
other property Dr. Hinkle has ac
cumulated was transferred to the wife
some time ago, the combined value
being estimated at $100,000. If she
succeeds in holding this property, and
indications are that she will, Dr. Hin
kle will be left a poor man. He save
his wearing apparel and personal
trinkets are about all he has left.
According to dispatches from Amer
icus, Dr. Hinkle and his father. Dr.
James Hinkle, killed Dr. James Wor-
shum, a prominent Americus dentist,
in 1890. The elder Hinkle was given
a life sentence and committed suicide
in his cell. The son afterward wa“
acquitted. The Hinkle trials \ver*>
