erties into money, o that she could
leave Atlanta the first of last Octo
ber and go to the Kiondike, and then
“far bevond the Klondike,” as she ex
presged it to Attorney Simmons,
This is the first time {nformation
has come out showing that it had
been the purpose of the young widow
to go in the direction of the Kilon
dike, ,or that she proposed to leave
as early as last October, Mr. Sim
mons was not positive whether she
egald her ultimate alm was Indian,
but was inclined to believe she did
mention India. Ip representing her in
her persistent efforts to sell notes for
her share of the proceeds from the
Alabama farm of her father, the iate
Sheriff Nelms, Mr. Simmons had
urged on J. A. Emery, of Ford, Ba
ocon & Davis, New York Clty, with
whom ghe was dealing, that she was
anxious to get hold of money to make
the trip to %Yw Klondike,
“1 never gaw a woman so anxious
to get away from a place as wa3
Mrs. Dennis to leave Atlanta,” sald
Mr. Simmons, "She simply haunted
my office in her efforts to dispose
of the notes. She sald she was will
ing to let them go at a big discount,
‘#o she could get the cash and start
on her trip, She could not sell
therh.”
The reported “human hand clew”
from Loulsiana quickly dropped Sat
urday night when it developed that
the mysterious hand found in the
Migsissippi River, 50 miles north of
New Orleans, wag that of a man and
,’lvo evidence of having heen severed
ully a vear. It had been found ten
days ago,
Interesting Interviews Given,
New revelations of the remarkahle
infatuation held by Eloise Dennis for
the lawver-mystic she had met in
Carson City and of her plans to defy
convention and the worid's opinion by
eloping with him to some far-away
country were obtained yesterday Ly
The Sunday American in a serles of
highly interesting interviews. -
One was from a prominent business
man, mention of whose name would
at once give the story the stamp of
authenticity. He was a personal and
business acquaintance of Eloise and
for this reason probably more of a
confidant than some who regarded
themselves her closest friends. He
knew of her many financial transac
tions which involved Innes.
Another interview was from Wel
vorn Holton, a IH-year-old Smyrna
boy, who was accustomed to walk
home with Eloise when she returned
from her work in Hast Point in the
evening. To him she divulged that
she was to leave town soon and go to
New Orleans, there to meet her “aunt”
from Salt Lake City, and go with
her to the Coast, and eventually to
India with Innes,
Mysterious “Aunt” Described.
' Young Holton's father related
much the same tale, but it remained
for little Nelms Dennis, 6-year-oid
son of the missing woman, and for
the two old negro servants at the
Nelms bhungalow in Smyrna to give
the first description of the mystarious
“aunt,” variously known as “"Margaret
Mims" and “Mary Hardman,” and to
tell of her actions when she boldly in
vaded the Nelms home and talked se
cretly with Eloiga from 11 o'clock in
the morning untii § in the evening.
The Nelms family is seeking to
tdentify her as the person who ca
joled large sums of money out of
Eloise and then turned it over to In
nes. ]
Heee {8 the story of the business
man:
“Lols came to me one day and suld}
that she had to tell me something,
She made me promise nat to breathe
a word of what she said before Au
gust 1, as she expected then to he 80
far away it wouldn't make any differ- |
ence.
Said She Was Hounded. |
vShe .declared she was Dbeing
hunded by detectives hired by Innes’
wife in China, whom Innes was sald
to be suing for divorce. She said
that the wife was preparing to fight
the suit and had detectives trail In
nes everywhere he went. At least,
that was what Innes told her in his
efforts to make her extremely careful
in letting their friendly relations be
come Known
“Recause of this ghe returned every
letter he ever wrote her. This is the
reason they can not find his signature
to any letters written her, Eloise
feared a suilt for allenation of Innes’
affections.
“+Just as soon as I can get rid of
my property, he and 1 are going to
bury ourselves in India and get away
from all this persecution,’ she told
me. ‘The detectives followed us about
there in Carson City, Mr. Innes told
me. One time we were out DuUggy
riding, and they caught a photograph
of us there. No, 1 didn’t see the pho
tograph, but Mr. Innes said they took
ir.!
Departure Delayed.
“Eloise expected to ieave much ear-
Yer,” continued The .\mwr.. in's in
formant, “but it took longer for her
to get her porperties sold and her
money collected She told me that
she drew $68.67 a month at the East
Point vostoflice, and every time she

sent it to this man Innes.
“This was to bhe thelr bank roll
when they went on their trip to In
ala. Bhe said they were to sall from
San Francisco, and would be on the
water nearly a month, After that,
she said, she did not care what was
sald about her”
# Welborn Holton, the Smyrna boy,
sald:
“1 used to meet Mrs, Dennis every
right at the 7:45 car and walk home
with her through the woods,
Said She Had Land in India.
"She talked constantly of going
away, and #aid that she was going to
rmeet her ‘aunt’ from Salt Lake City
in New Orleans and go to Indla,
where she had purchased land. [
nsked her If she was coming back,
and she told me no; that if she éver
came back I would be a grown man.
“A little while before she went
away Lhere were several nights when
‘she dld not come home. She told me
that when she didn’t come home she
was staying with her ‘aunt’ who had
arrived in town from Salt Lake City.”
The night before Eloise left on her
mysterious trip, Holton's father met
her at the car, and she told him the
same thing, adding that after she
was settled she was going to send
for her boy, Nelms Dennis.

BOSTON, July 18.—The curtain
has fallen abruptly on the”romance
of Fern Halllan, the winsome 18-

The locks that hold fast the iron
doors of a jail are not the Kind love

both the young people are hopeful.
“1 want to marry Louis,” said Fern
to-day, “and I will marry him some

Torreon Conference Decides Uponl
General Angeles for Presi
'
dent Ad Interim.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—General
Angeles, the brilliant organizer of
Villa's artillery, and now secretly the
commander of all the Constitutional
ist generals, will be made President
ad Interim of Mexico, according to
confidential information in the hands
of the State Department. The power
of General Villa has been thrown to
Angeles
At the recent Torreon ('onferencel
between Carranza and the military
chiefs Angeles, at tne dictation of
Villa, was by secret arrangement
given supreme command over all the
generals In the Constitutionalist ar
my. Carranza was allowed to retain
his title of “Airst chief” but was
shorn of all military authority_and
his functions limited to civil and dip
lomatic matters.
Carranza, in a communication
sent to the State Department, re
fused the first demand and evaded
the other. Carranza himself has no
power to agree to or proclaim am
nesty. The Torreon conference set
tled the question with the sinister
agreement that “objectionable politi
clans will be eliminated.”
The depleted condition of the Mex
jcan Treasury, whieh threatens re
volt in Mexico City, the action of
General Orozco in already starting a
counter revolution by taking to the
mountains with $4,000 of his troops,
the guerrilla and factional warfare
near Acapulco on the wests coast and
the renewed activities of Zapata are
causing concern in Washington. It
is hoped that peace will be speedily
established, but officials in touch with
the whole Mexican situation confi
dentially admitted that the end iz far
from being in sight.
General Villa to-day expressed wil
lingness to guarantee protection to
the lives and property of Americans
and other foreigners along the border
and in the territory where he has
control,
Genera] Carranza has declined to
send delegates to meet informally
with the Huerta delegates to the Ni
agara Falls conference on the ground
that the military chiefs of the Consti
tutionalist army refused to agree to
the plan.
