Many Of the old citizens OF Pine
Bluff will remember a family by the
name OF Fulton, who for years lived
in this city. The head OF the family
was a physician, while Lis wife was
ii teacher, and for years taught
school in a house that stood on the
site now occupied by the postofliee-
Mrs. Fulton had 4 daughter by her
FIRST husband, and her name was
Emil Lytton. While she did not
make her home with her mother
and stcp-father, she frequently
visited Pine Bluff, and had large
circle of friends and acquaintances,
as she was n remarkably bright
young lady with IA pleasing person
atty thar captivated everyone
with whom she came in contact,
The young Indy became an actress,
and in the course OF time met ]. X.
Fmmet, the actor. He became
infatuated with her beauty and
married her. Last season both
Emmett and his wife appeared At the
Pine Bluff Opera-house. When En-
met and his company appeared here
last week. however, those OF our
old citizens who remembered the
| lady were surprised That she was
not with her husband, but mono saw
| fit to inquire the cause. Now,
however, comes the whole story
from Galveston, 1t gives Il re-
markable evidence OF the fatality Of
fascination. the uprooting thereby
OF all sense OF duty, the burial OF
nobler impulses and the destruction
OF honor. 1t shows how it may
make thieves OF men women.
The story, rs published in the
Memphis Commercial Of Thursday,
is as follows. After Fritz
Emmett and his company appeared
here the show went into the SOUTH
weston a season, playing in all the
leading Texas towns. Week before
last they were in Denison, and there,
so the story goes, Mrs. Emmett
complained to her husband
Of feeling unwell and expressed
tic belief that a short rest from her
stage duties would be beneficial
Emmett agreed with her aud IA stay
of Il week at Galveston was finally
decided upon Within five days the
company would appear tuere and
Mrs. Emmctwould rejoin her husband
then. Another member Of tile com
pany took Mrs Emmets part in the
play and she left for Galveston.
.'She was to stop ut the Beach
Hotel. and upon leaving Emmett
gave her $4,000 which he had saved
during the present season, thinking
it would be safer with her than
him. travelling and playing many
one-night stands. In addition to
this cash, every cent her husband
had, she asked to wear an exceed
inely handsome diamond which he
owned and the request was granted
by the trusting husband.
"Emmet heard nothing from her
within the first five days, in the
meantime finishing up the engage
ments outside of Galveston. The
company reached Galveston on Sun
day and Mr.. Emmett went mt once to
the Beach Hotel and inquired for
his wife. No such person as Mrs. j.
X. Emmett had registered. He then
visited all other hotels and was
almost crazed with grief at the
terrible disappointment and the
horrible suspicion that began to
come over him. A suggestion OF
falsity had never before entered his
mind.
"Emmet hurried to the theater,
believing he would find there some
communication from his wife. In
that he was not disappointed. A
brief note was awaiting him, telling
him that when he received it She
would be in Los Angeles, Cal, with
a man for whom alone she had love.
The man with whom she had be-
come fascinated was last year a
member Of Emmet's company and is
now playing a leading part in some
inferior attraction. The woman
took all the money with which her
husband had furnished her and left
him without penny to show for
the present seasons business.
"Emmet has not yet scured n
divorce, but it is understood that he
will do SO as soon us the law will
permit it. It is well known among
those who are familiar with 'tFritz"
