prominent soc.la.ll,v and in local club
dom, Wednesday in Judge W, D. Ellis’
division of Superior Court, in resist
ng an effort by his wife, M.rs. Annie

bared a sensational story of an al
leged “affair” of Mrs. Karwisch with
George B. Powell, wealthy Buckhead
andowner, who recently was arrested
n connection with the Thomas B.
wshiord murder mystery,
The chief feature of Karwisch's sto
'y dealt ‘'with an incident in 1914 at
he Handsome Karwisch home in the
Roswell road, beyond Buckhead, when
the wagon manufacturer told of hav
ing hidden under his home to await
the arrival of Powell, and of how he
later peered . through a keyhole in a
loor and saw his wife and Powell
«mbracing. \
As Karwisch told of the “hugging”
¢pisode, his volce choked with emo
'lon and he sobbed audibly. For a
moment he was almost overcome by
his emotion, but, quickly recovering
himself, proceeded with the story. He
admitted that he severely beat Mrs.
Karwisch, after “violently cursing
Powell” and informing him that he
onsidered that the “blame rested on
the wife.” .
Repeated the Beating.
Karwisch further admitted that, so
Ereat was his rage, he again beat his
wife the next night.
In further connecting the name of
‘he wealthy Buckhead man with that
f Mrs. Karwisch, the husband as
serted that on one occasion Powell
made her a present of a cow, which
he (Karwisch) promptly sent back to
Powel),
"Powell then soki the cow for $36
and gave the money to my wife,” said
the husbang.

There has been another reorganiza- (

i Great™significance is attached to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The
four Republican members of the
House vl’uu.. Committes this aft
ernoon decided to stand pat on
their demand for a oongnnlon's
investigation of the lllo;od “lea!
to W-fl Street of the President's
note. They will natify the P‘mo
cratio members at a meeting of
the full committee schedule to be
held later today.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—At the
close of the executive session of the
House Rules Committee today it was
learned that the majority of its mem
bers are opposed to a favorable re
port on the Wood resolution asking
for a congressional Investigation on
the “information leak” to Wall street.
It is regarded by them that no ev!-
dence of a conclusive character,
showing where or how the ‘leak”
Imlsfht be discovered, and checked for
the future, has been shown the Rules
Committee.
The Democratic members of the
committee, it was learned, take the
iposmon that all public ofMicials whose
rames have been mentioned in the in
'vv‘suxntlon have been ecxonerated,
Iboth from suspicion of respons bility
for the “leak” and participation in
profits from such a "“leak.”
A probable compromise seems to .be
lthp appointment of a committee
which will try to get from Lawson
names and definite Information con
cerning the members of Congress,
Cabinet officers and bankers men
tioned by him as being responsible
for the leak and profiting by it. Law
son steadfastly has refused to give
any names,
It is unlikely that the proceedings.
will go much further on the basis of
the testimony thus far adduced.
The Democratic members will con
sider their future course during the
afternoon, and the whole committes
