a Prominent Women Figures In Divorce
suit SONS Indi-cretions.

ATLANTA. Jan. 27.--Indian Spring, the
resort which figured largely in the in
vestigation Of one OF the Georgia judges
last year. doomed up prominently to-day
in the Weld divorce case.
Mrs. stela's Z. Yields application for
alimony was heard. ana large amount
OF very sensational evidence was intro
duced. In defending the suit, the bus-
band. Thomas d. Weld. d well known
railway mail clerk. made very grave
charges against his wife and brought into
issue her conduct at Indian Spring IN the
summer Of 1896.
Mrs. Weld was Miss Stella Laird, Of La
Grange. and held IN
mistress there under the Harrison admin
istration. II was while she held that
place that her father was convicted Of
robblns the office and was sentenced 10
the Ofio penitentiary. from which he
was discharged only a short time ago.
After the removal of the Laird family
to this city Mr.. Weld boarded with them.
and after a few months married Miss
Stella. who was very attractive young
woman.
While on the stand to-day Mrs. Weld
testified that she had been faithful
wife, and had never given her husband
cause 10 raise his hand against her.
Every time ne would come IT was the
signal 70 fresh abuse. she said. Judge,
that man has treated me shamefully He
would beat me. and throw me into
closet where ne locked me up. The marks
Of his violence have been left upon my
body for weeks He would go away with
out leaving me a bit OF food or the money
with which to buy It.
AS for the men with whom he says
my conduct was improper. l have always
heard him speak of them az his friends
and he has never told me he had any
such suspicious before this case was
brought. He has spoken OF them in the
highest terms and implored me TO 20 10
them for help If any misfortune should
happen in his absence
In regard 20 the charge Of cruel treat
ment. Mr.. Weld stated 90 Il reporter that
he had struck his wife once, and that
she afterwards acknowledged he had done
right.
The testimony of n number OF Indian
Spring people was read in the effort OF
Mr.. Weld 10 show that Mrs. Yields con-
ouct there had become improper.
The witnesses testified that many walks
were taken by Mrs. Weld with J. ".
Martin. Of this city. and that they were
much together.
In the tcstin ony or one Of Nj. Yields
witnesses was the statement that his
wife had been seen kissing an Atlanta
professional man.
Mrs. Weld Is roDresented by colonel L.
w. Rucker and Dir. Weld by Mr.. Robert
c. Aston
Judge Lumpkin reserved his decision.
