erties into money, so that she could
leave Atianta the first of last Octo
ber and go to the Kiondike, and then
“far beyond the Klondike,” as she ex
# prebsed 1t to Attorney Simmons,
This is the first time information
- has come out showing that it had
been the purpose of the voung widow
to go In the direction of the Kion
@ike, or that she proposed to leave
as early as last October. Mr. Sim
mons was not positive whether she
sald her ultimate alm was Indlan,
but was Inclined to belleve she did
mention India. In representing her in
her persistent efforts to sell notes for
her share of the proceeds from the
Alabama farm of her father, the late
Sheriff Nelms, Mr. SBimmons had
urged on J. A. Emery, of Ford, Ba
econ & Davis, New York Clty, with
whom ghe was dealing, that she was
anxious to get hold of money to make
the trip to the Klondike.
“I never saw a woman so anxlous
to get away from a place as wa®
Mrs. Dennis to leave Atlanta,” sald
Mr. Simmons. “She simply haunted
my office in her efforts to digpose
of the notes. She sald she was will
ing to let them go at a big discount,
s 0 she could get the cash and start
on her trip. She could not sell
them.”
Human Hand Clew Dropped.
The reported “human hand clew”
from Loulsiana was quickly dropped
Saturday night when it developed that
the mysterious hand found in the
Missiseippi River, 90 miles north of
New Orleans, was that of a man and
gave evidence of having been severed
fully a year. It had been found ten
days ago,
Another theory was exploded Sat
urday night when The American,
through its correspondent in San An
tenio, located the Dr, W, H. German
swhose posteard to W, F. Upshaw, of
the Aetna Life Insurance Company,
aroused llvely speculation as to his
identity.
Mr. Upshaw dld not know Dr, Ger
man, and, although the doctor's only
inquiry was as to Upshaw's present
address, the insurance man began to
suspect that some person was con
cealing his or her identity under that
name to learn something of the two
insurance policies which Bentri(‘ei
Nelms held with the company. ‘
Investigation revealed, however,
that the inquiry was a simple matter
of business and that Dr. German s
an entirely reputable clilzen of San
Antonio.
Interesting Interviews Given.
New revelations of the remarkable
infatuation held by Eloise Dennis for
the lawyer-mystic she had met in
Carson City ang of her plans to defy
convention and the world's opinion by
eloping with him to some far-away
country were obtained yesterday by
The Sunday American in a series 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
bhorn Holton, a 15-year-old Smyrna
boy, who was accustomed to walk
home with iloise when she returned
from her work in East Point in the
evening, To him she divulged that
ehe 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
Nelmes bungalow in Smyrna to give
the first description of the mysterious
“gunt.” 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
eretly with Eloise from 11 o'clock 1n
the morning until 5 in the evening.
The Nelms family is seeking to
4dentify her as the person who ca
oled large sums of money out of
i‘?lulse and then turned it over to In
nes.
Here is the story of the business
man:
“Lois came to me one day and said
that she had to tell me something
She made me promise not to breathe
a word of what she said before Au
gust 1, as she expe ted then to be 80
far away it wouldn't make any differ
ence
Said She Was Hounded.
“She declared she was being
hounded by detectives hired by Innes
wife in China, whom Innes was said
to be suing for dlvorcoe She sald
that the wife was preparing to fight
the suit and had detectives trail In
nes everywhere he waent At least
that was what Innes told her in his

efforts to make her extremely careful
in letting their friendly relations be
come known,
“Hecause of thix she retiurned every
letter he ever wrote her. This is the
reason they can not find his signature
to any letters written her. Flolse
feared a sult for allenation of Innes’
affections,
“«just as soon as I can get rid of
my property, he and 1 are golng to
bury ourselves in India and get away
frorn all this persecution,’ she told
me. ‘“The detectives followed us about
there in Carson Clty, Mr. Innes told
me. One time we were out buggy
riding, and they caught a photograph
of us there. No, I dldn’t see the pho
tograph, but Mr. Innes said they took

Departure De'ayed.
“Iloise expected to leave much ear
ler,” continued The American's In
formant, “but it took longer for her
to get her properties sold and her
money collected, She told me that
she. drew $66,67 a month at the East
Point postoffice, and every time she
got about $2OO o 1 3sun rogether she
sent it to this man Innes.
“This was to he ne-r Hank roll
when they went nn thelr trip to In-
Gla. She sald they were to sall from
San Francisco, and would be on the
water nearly a month, After that,
she sald, she did not care what was
said about her”
Welborn Holton, the Smyrna boy,
sald:
“] used to meet Mrs. Dennis every
right at the 7:45 car and walk home
with her through the woods.
Baid She Had Land in India,
“She talked constantly of golng
away, and sald that she was golng to
meet her ‘aunt’ from Salt Lake Clty
in New Orleans and go to India,
where she had purchased land, I
nsked her If she was coming back,
and she told me no; that if she ever
came back I would be a grown man.
“A little while before she went
away there were several nights when
she did 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
mystericus 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

HUERTA oYa it FLEES
ONLY TO PAGIFY MEXIGE
Interviews Himself for Correspondents in
Jaunty Style—Gives Gold Pieces as Souvenirs
and Talks of Taking Dinner in New York.
PUERTO MEXICO, July 18.—A
sub-lieutenant, splc and span in a
new uniform, with polished leggings,
stepped out of General Huerta's pri
vate car drawn up at a private sid
ing here this morning and beckoned
to the waliting correspondents,
“The President wishes to see you,”
he sald.
General Huerta, surrounded by his
staff met the correspondents at the
door of the car. Huerta was attlredi
in a closely buttoned white coat,
similar to those worn by Pullman
porters. A sporty light gray cap was
pulled down over his eyes, whlch\
twinkled behind nosc glasses firmly
fnstened athwart his rather spatulale‘
nose, '
Huerta smilingly invited his guests
to he seated, announcing that he
would ask and answer all questions
all by himself. He chuckled at the
look of disappointment on the faces
of the correspondents and then dic
tated two questions to himself. |
Tells Why He Resigned. \
The first was: “Why did you re
sign?”
This was Huerta's answer:
“] have resigned because I have‘
arranged the distressing internal af- |
fairs of Mexico. I believe that my |
action gives the last proof to all loyal
sons of the republic of my desire to
bring peace to the country. I am
convinced that my resignation will
result in the consolidation of all the
sons of the republic.”
The second question Huerta asked
himself was:
~ “Why are you leaving the coun
try when you can still serve e
“My departure from the country is
golaly for the sake of giving perfect
frecdom of action to the new gov
ernment. My presence here would
give rise to coniectures which would
prevent the pacification plans of the
new Government,
“I declare to the world that the
line of conduct 1 have followed has
no other motive than peace to the
country.”
Cuts interview Short.
Huerta refused to say a word more
or to tell his plans or tell the hour
when he will leave. He would not
even say whether he would leave by
the cruiser Bristol or the Dresden.
In a second interview, granted late
to-night, General Huerta, although
still refusing absoluteiy to discuss
politics, admitted that thes greatest
ambition of his life is to meet Fran
cisco Villa on the battlefield.
He signed the correspondents’ note
books and insisted upon giving each
‘a five peso gold plece ag a souvenir.
He posed willingly for »hotograpns
and the moving pictures, and while
noging praised the International
News Service enterprise and com
plimented it as having the only pho
tographers ‘“on the job."”
“When I come to New York/”
Huerta smiled, “I'll buy you a din
ner, provided I have money enough.
Otherwise, you can be my hosts.”
. Someone remarked that if Huerta
came to the United States “we will

make you President.” Huerta laugh
ed grimly and replied:
“In this country the wardens of
prisons are called presidents, Do you
want to make me warden of Sing
Sing?”
Then the ex-President entered his
car after more photographs had been
taken, As he dld so a significant in
cident occurred.
Crowd Cheers Huerta.
Up to this moment the great
crowd, which had been stopped by a
line of soldiers drawn up around
'Huerta's private train, had seemed
apathetic. Nouw they closed in and
set up a mighty chorus of “vivas”
for Huerta.
All morning long Huerta and Gen
eral Blanquet held a series of con
ferences in the private car., The
blinds were drawn and the few cu
rious who gathered were unable to
obtain a glimpse of the ex-dictator.
But it is known that the indigestion
with which Huerta was bothered up
on his arrival was successfully
knocked out by two stiff drinks of
cognac.
Officers of the Mexican gunboat
Zaragoza pald their respects during
the morning, as did Captain Kohler,
of the German cruiser Dresden, and
his staff officers. who said on leav
ing that it had been practically ar
ranged for Huerta to quit Mexico on
board the Dresden for Jamaica.

Villa Puts Ally Over
Carranza by Pact.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—General
Angeles, the brilllant 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
confildential information in the hands
of the State Department. The power
of General Villa has been thrown to
Angeles.
At the recent Torreon conference
between Carranza and the mlilitary
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 “first chlef,” but was
shorn of all military authority and
‘hls 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 ellminated.”

have been married at some time pre

are many reasons to show that he

as to his wife and children have ever

Reasons why St. Paul must have
