SPECTER OF MONROEISM,

LONDON, April 5.-The Saturday Review,

THE ATLANTA MRS. LUCAS
 TELLS ANOTHER STORY

Atlanta, Ga., May 29.-(Special. .)-In the mind of Mrs. A. P. Lucas of this place, whose husband was confounded with the rich millionaire of Beaumont, Tex, dis- coverer of the great oil wells. there Is a very grave doubt as to the truthfulness of the denial of the man being other than her husband.
 The following telegram was shown her today:
 Captain A. P. Lucas, formerly of Att lanta, but who now resides in Montgom- cry, and about whom much has been said in the newspapers that he is the Lucas who has made millions in Beaumont oil wells, says he has been confounded with another Lucas.
 Captain Lucas, formerly of Atlanta, has been living in Montgomery for many months. He is employed at the Western railroad. He was joking with friends about the reports last night, and said he wished he was the Lucas who had made a fortune"
 When shown the above dispatch Mrs city, who claims to be the wife of the Texas oil king, said that she did not be- lieve a word of 1t.
 "It is very strange" she said, that after repeated efforts on my part to To- cate my missing husband in Montgomery and he could not be found that he should turn up at this time. I wrote to the mayor and chief of police at Montgomery not more than a month ago inquiring for my husband and inclosed stamps for A reply, but neither of them paid any attention to me- That is easily accounted for. however They are friends of my husband and his relatives and they want to keep me in the dark as to his where abouts These relatives have been the cause of all our trouble. My husband used up the estate which had when he married me in responding to their ex- travagant demands, and now with his millions they are even more anxious to keep me off."
 Mrs. Lucas says the report that Cap tain Lucas deserted her Is unfounded and that the statement that her two sons were her only means of support Is not true as she had enough income Of her own to comfortably take care of her. self She said further:
 q have heard from MT. Lucas num- Der of times both directly and indirectly, and though at this time I did not know of his being in Texas, I heard so from an absolutely reliable source and after ward saw his picture, which is that of my husband.
 s.He is not travelling with wife. The beautiful woman who Is said to be with him is his niece and he has never been married except to me.
 MT. Lucas left Georgia because he lost his position with the roalroad com pany and did not desert me"
 The attention of Mrs. Lucas was called to the fact that the Texas man gave his name as Capt A. F. Lucas, and she was asked how she reconciled the difference in initials.
 My husband never liked his middle ini- tial 'P.,' because he was named for a man he did not fancy, and for that reason changed it. Most of the time he would use the initial of my surname, Thweatt. And when he was in business in West Mitchell street of this city he even went so far as to change both the initials of his given name from "A. P to e. B. have no doubt that the initial F. he is
The age-herald., 1901-05-30

now using in Texas is another one of his eeeentrieities."
 Mrs. Lucas admitted that she had con- suited legal counsel now that her hus- band Is several times a millionaire, but declined to say what course, if any, would be pursued towards getting share of his money.
 Mrs. Lucas describes her husband as being man above the ordinary height and stoutly built, although he was great ly reduced in flesh when he left home He was clean shayen except for a mus tache which he kept dyed an auburn col or 5he said he always wore turned down collar because his neck was short and on account of a small foot had his shoes made to order.
 She said her husband appeared to be about fifty-two years old, although she never knew his exact age. She said he was sensitive about his age and refused to divulge it to her or anybody else.
