Atlanta, Ga. Aug 26.-Dr. A. c..
Emory. the Opelika physician who was
one of the principals in a sensational
scandal in that city recently, to-day
eluded relatives who have been carefully
watching him here for two weeks past,
and has gone to join his inamorata, Mrs.
Turner, again Mrs Turner is the wife
of a cotton broker The father and hus-
band have both been on the lookout
for Emory ever since the eX-
plosion of the scandal in Opelika; and if
the doctor should come within range, as
it seems he is now likely to do, there may
be bloodshed as he goes armed constantly
in anticipation of such a meeting. The
father and hus band were in West Point a
few days ago looking for the doctor, and
MIR Turner, the husband, was reported to
have been here on the same mission last
Tuesday.
THE DOCTOR HAS AVOIDED OBSERVATION.
DR. Emory's presence here has been
kept as quiet as possible. He has been
quartered at the house of his brOther-in-
law, j. S. Lester, on Luckie street. who
has been his constant companion since he
and Mrs. Turner separated here, Just two
weeks ago 1t is claimed that the doctors
infatuatiOn for Mrs Turner, who was his
patient, is due to mental weakness, and
his daughter and son have both been here
endeavoring to restore him to his senses.
But tO-days developments Indicate that
the infatuaton is very rational and cum
ming
The doctor had been in constant CORE
spondence with Mrs. Turner through the
medium of Well-knOwn druggist, to
whom her letters were addressed, in or
der to mislead the watchful relatives
here Mrs. Turner has a considerable
amount of money in her house and has
not been hampered in her movements.
When DIR. EmOry's relatives succeeded in
separa ting the pair on there arrival here,
Mrs Turner boarded a train for West
Point. bnt Immediately took an opposite
direction as soon as she could, finally
stopping in Augusta, where she has been
registered at one of the hotels.
AUTHORITY FGR THESE STATEMENTS.
These facts are learned from a half
destroyed letter which was found in Dr.
Emory's room to-day after his flight.
Mrs. Turner wrote that her husband was
pressing her to return, but she preferred
the doctor. The time for action had
come, however and it was arranged by
telegram that they should meet at Ad-
ans Park, near Macon, today. Unless
their plans have been miscarried, the
pair are now happy on their way to re
treat where they expect to escape recog-
milton.
In the telltale letter Mrs. Turner wrote
that she would wear a blue sailor suit
(such a one as the doctor had often ad-
mired) with hat trimmed in red ribbons,
and red ribbon at her throat. She des-
cribed her dress so that she could be rec
ognized despite heavy veil which she
would wear to prevent recognition in Ma
con. If necessary to register there, she
would be Mrs. Lucy, Augusta"
FORMERLY AN INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN.
DIR. Emory was one of the most infiu-
entail physicians of Opelika Mrs
Turner was one of his patients. He be-
came infatuated with her and induced
her to leave her home and come to him at
Opelika.
A friend of the doctor was expecting a
Miss Bull, a cousin whom he had never
seen, to visit him while undergoing medi-
cal treatment, and DIR. Emory palmed Mrs
Turner off on this friend as the unknown
cousin. He was, of course, the physician
called in. and until the exposure he was
assiduOus in his attentions to Miss Bull,
otherwise Mrs. Turner, the impostor.
HIS INCoNTINENT FLIGHT.
When the discovery was made DIR.
Emory escaped through a window He
and Mrs Turner left Opeika in a buggy.
Before leaving, Mrs. Turner sat in the
buggy with a cooked pistol defying
crowd while the doctor stepped into bank
and withdrew his deposit. After being
several days out they arrived in Atlanta,
when the doctors relatives succeeded in
etfecting separation, which, it seems,
was only ruse to throw off pursuit.
