AtIanta's Big Sensation,
The Wife of Thomas ]. Leftwich Sues for
Divorce.

Atlanta, Ca, has a big sensation, the
occasion being the instituting of suit
for divorce by Mrs. Camilla Leftwich
from her husband, MI. Thomas J. Left
wich, a prominent lawyer Of that city.
Mrs. Leftwich was Miss Price, mem
Der of one of the best families of Vir-
ginia. An Atlanta dispatch to the
Savannah News says:
Mr.. Leftwich, who came to Atlanta
to practice law about ten years ago, was
especially commended to the people of
this city and section because he was
the son of the Rev. DR.. Leftwich, for
years the beloved pastor of the First
| Presbyterian church of this city, and a
man of wide reputation and Influence.
He educated his son in both theology
an j law and made him a graduate of
Johns Hopkins University, of Balti
more, where the elder Leftwich was
also stationed in church work for a
time.
The bill for divorce was filed in De
Kalb county Tuesday morning, the
mere fact of its filing being made known
here Tuesday evening. The details,
which are highly sensational, however,
did not come out until Attorney Left
wich handed them in for publication
later in the evening.
His wife, who is living in Atlanta. at
the Normandie Hotel, on Peachtree
street, based her bill upon the ground
of infidelity, without going into details.
| This MIR. Leftwich followed by unfold
ing a story which is one of the most
unique in the annals of divorce pro-
ceedings in this State. He confesses
the charges and, going further, tells
how he has for six years or more lived
a dual life, the fruit of his illicit love
being two children, the oldest a boy of
five years and the youngest girl baby
of few months.

0piaion of the Patriots.

A well known new sPaper man in this city
who saw Mr.. Raymond Williams, the former
consul general OF the American Govern
nent at Ha ana in Brooklyn several days
since, told Times reporter last night that
Mr.. Williams. during the course of con
versation with nm, said that the Cuban
problem was nothing more than a sugar
problem.
He thought that it was an anomalous
thing that Cuba should belong commercial
" to America and politically to Spain. He
said that such condition could not now
exist very long, and that Cuba is gradually Y
breaking away from the mother country,
to which IL has SO long been bound
politically.
Mr.. Williams said that he thought that
the American Government had made a
mistake during the Grant administration
In not acquiring san Domingo when there
was an oppoa tumty to get IL. In reply to
a question as to the quality Gf the Cuban
people, Ar. Williams said that he had
lived on the Stands for more than twenty
years, and yhat he considered the Cubans
the best Spanish American people that he
had ever seen.
