ly bearded the train Lewis had lett,
for she said she met twe young wom- |
en and an clder onea. They got off
at San Antenio. Her conversation
with them was ruled out, byt when
shown photographs of the sisters she
was positive in her identification. She
degeribed the clothes they had worn.
Henry D. Satcher, a dairyman of
San Antonio, was next. He said he
had sold milk to the Williams family
at Neo. 120 Wilkins avenue before
they moved oeut early in June.
Mr. Avneld tried to develop the
faet that erders for milk at the bun
galow increased after this, in an ef
fort t@ prove that more consumers
were in the house, but this was ruled
out. The dairyman had not seen the
girls.
Q. C. Hayweorth, of No. 200 Wil
kins avenue, San Antonio, said he
passed the bungalow twice every day.
One evening in June he saw -two
veung women sitting on the front
steps. Shown photegraphs, he said
he had not seen one of them very
well, but positively identified the pie
ture of eßatrice Nelms as the other.
An elderly woman had come to the
deor as he passed, witness said.
Asked to identify Mrs. Innes as that
woman, he left the stand and asked
Mrs. Innes to remove her veil. He
was not positive, saying the woman
had worn glasses. Mr. Arnold showed
him a photograph of Mrs. Innes in
a different attire and Hayworth said:
“That’s the same woman.”
New Letters Qffered.
Mr. Dorsey offered several new let
ters and documents in evidence.
They were admitted.
Marshall Nelms, brother of the
missing girls in the Innes case, Fri
day told on the witness stand how
Mrs. Innes, when she was arrasted in
Oregon, denied knowing the twa
Nelms girls and all knowledge of their
disappearance.
Mr. Nelms also testified that the
family home was in Fulton County
and not at Smyrna, the State evident
ly preparing to forestall an attempt to
quash the indictment because the al
leged crime did not occur in Fulton
County.
“The place in Smyrna is merely a
summer home,” said Mr. Nelms. “We
went there when Leis was in the
West, in 1912, Our home is No. 82
Gordon street, West End, Atlanta.”
Mr. Nelms said he had read 50 or
more letters from Innes to Mrs. Den
nis. The letters had been lost, though
he had traveled 22,000 mles in search
of them and of other evidence.

some day we will be married and

Innes frequently referred to his pe
culiar Oriental religion, the witness
said, and urged Mrs. Dennis to read
certain books. Nelms had seen her
reading them.
Nelms then described the arrest of
Innes and his wife in Oregon, to
whiech he was a witnesa.
“l talked with her, but net with
Innes,” he said. “She admitted being
in Atlanta in April and May, 1914, for
her health, she said, but did not give
any of the places she had staved here.
She denied going to the place in
Smyrna.” |
Judge Hines objected te his quot
ing )l‘u. Innes, but was overruled,
“She denled ever having seen my
sisters,” said Nelms, “I asked her {f
they had not been to No. 120 Wilkins
avenue, San Antonio, where the In
neses lived, and she declared: ‘That is
net true. Not a petticoat crossed that
threshold while Innes and 1 were
there.'”
Nelms said Mrs, Innes admitted
going to Birmingham put denied be
ing with Beatrice Nelms on the train,
A witness Thursday had testified to
seeing them together.
Denies Visit to Bank.
“When 1 asked her if she had
gone to the West End Bank with
lois she sald: ‘Mr. Nelms, it's a
lie,'" sald the witness. “She also
denied being at the Ransom Hotel
under the name of Elmaore, living on
the Oregon farm under the name of
AHMarbaugh and living in an Atlanta
apartment under the name of Iville.”
Mrs. Mary Ellis, the dressmaker
whose statement several weeks ago,
that she discovered in Innes’ trunk
some clothing made by her for Mrs.
Dennis, caused such a furore, was
called to the stand, but the court rul
tl\' against the admission of murder
evidence prevented her story being
developed.
Mrs. EQis identified Mrs. Innes as
the woman who caled at her home
in May, 1914, with Mrs. Dennis. The
latter called Mra. lnnoz “Miss Mar
garet” the witness sald. She made
a 4 dress and two walsts for her and
a dress for Mrs. Dennls. Witness

possession of her son from Innes’
sister,
Mre Viela Sickles Innes alse
said she was anxious to talk to
her successor, and Deputy Sheriff

room and took Mrs. Innes No. 3
inta the office. “he two women

time.
said she had scraps of ecloth from
these garments as proof,
Judge Hines, on cross-examination,
asked questions tending to reflect on
the character of Mrs. Hilis. Asked
what kind of a house she had kept %n
Whitehall street, Mrs. Ellis sald sfle
had moved away because some bad
characiers had come in. Bhe denied
she ever was arrested.
J. C. Korn, cashier of the Smyrna

Dr. W, T. Pace, of Smyrna, said he
was driving his car past the Dennis
home at Smyrna one day and saw In-
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
nes by the roadside. He identified de
fendant as the same, and described
the clothes he wore on that date. He
was cross-examined closely, but stuck
by his identification, He had seen
the man only once, 35 feet away, and
while traveling at 10 miles an hour,
Earl Cox, soda water man at Broad |
and Alabama streets, was recalled.
Mr. Dorsey asked if he knew La-
Vaux, the clairvovant of Fast Point,
at one time confused with Innes. Cox
said he did. Their complexions were
ull‘:c. but they were not the same, he
saild. .
C. M. Mion, who had effices in the
Candler Building in 1914, caused Mr.
Dorsey some confusion by saying he
eouldn't swear he had ever seen the
Inneses before. He thought he had
seen Mrs. Innes, but net with the
Nelms girls.
“I have been misled and trapped,
your honor,” said Mr. Dorsey, dismiss- 1
\ing the witness. “This man told me!
he had seen the Inneses. Whe has{
been talking te vou?" |
“Nobody,” said Mion. He was ex
cused. |
J. J. Jones said he had seen Mrs.
Innes in the office of Dr. H. M. S.
'Adams in the Candler Building in
1914. He had seen Mrs. Innes with
two women, but couldn’'t say they

‘without lights and stopped under a
tree. The bungalow was the only
lighted house in the block at that
hour,
_The defense objected to going fur
ther'into the automobile imeident and
the witness was withdrawn.
) Frank Willlams, aged 14, of No. 225
Wilkins avenue, San Antonio, said
Innes had hired him to water the
lawn at No, 120 while he was away,
about a week. He had seen @ woman
there, but he failed to identify Mrs.
Innes positively.
Made Formal Demand.
Attorney G. A. K. Stevens, of At
lanta, was put on the stand to testify
that he went to the jall as a repre
’nnulivo of Mrs. Nelms and made
formal demand upon the Inneses for
& return of the money alleged to have
been obtained from Mrs, Dennis. His
testimony was ruled out, but the court
said he would instruct the jury that
no such demand was necessary,
Detective J. N. Btarnes was called
and the jury was sent out while his
testimony was argued upon. Mr. Ar
