The case was dismissed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crutchfield left the
courtroom armin-arm, apparently the
happiest of couples. For months they
lived together in seeming mutual re-
gard. They were seen out together Of
ten, as devoted as two young lovers
might well be. Then like a thunder
bolt out of clear sky came a second
suit for divorce. This is still pending.
Enter "The Man."
Mrs. Crutchfield took her two little
sons and went to live at No. 800 South
Pryor street, Atlanta. It was then that
"the man" entered their lives. He was
a splendid specimen Of manhood-tall,
good-looking, athletic, debonair. He
was clever and entertaining and the
handsome young Mrs. Crutchfield was
plainly interested-more than that,
not at all.
Then came the accident.
This friend Of the family was rail-
road man. He fell between the cars
and both his legs had to be amputated
to save his life. Mrs. Crutchfield was
deeply moved by his misfortune and
she tried to help him as he lay In the
hospital. doomed to be q cripple for
life.
And that aroused the husband to his
fury.
Mrs. Crutchfield had been to see
"Zaza" at the matinee. Her husband
had come to her new home to wait for
her. He had to wait two hours. Then

night" to some of her friends who had

thought of what was to come.
There was a shot; then another.

The 11-year-old boy. Loudette, heard
the shots. He started down to the
door to let his mother in. He had just
opened 1t when me first shot was fired.
He jumped on the back Of his father
as the second bullet was sent on its
errand of vengeance and fought with
him to keep him from firing again.

The boy couldn't save his mothers

Mrs. Crutchfeld Long Considered One Of the Most
Beautiful Women Of That Section-Pubic

Atlanta.--"Revenge!" This Is said to
have been J. H. Crutchfield's one word
when he fired the two shots, says the
New York World.
His wife fell, and he dropped the re-
volver to the porch. Both shots had
hit, but II lie intended, as they charge,

The right leg has been amputated

THAT man" knew his wife, and that
man" had lost his legs In a railway
accident. Further than that it was
nothing. No one dare say q word
against Mrs. Crutchfield. She has al
ways been favorite in Atlanta society
handsome, clever, vivacious.
The Crutchfields have long been
among the best known people in At
1anta, Ga. 1t had - be so. because
Mrs. Crutchfield was considered the
haDdsomest young matron In Atlanta,
and southern gallantry still exists. She
came from Columbia, 8. c., and there
she married young Crutchfeld IA
years ago
He was rising young cotton oil
broker then; to-day he Is accounted
well-to-do. Mrs. Crutchfield did not
come of a wealthy family-in fact, her
face was all the fortune she brought
her husband, but that was enough.
There has never been a better dressed
young matron in all the south than
young Mrs. Crutchfield. She had q
figure and complexion to set OF her
beauty, too, and the beautiful clothes
bought by her devoted husband. It
was dinner and dance and drive. all
the time.
There goes the handsome Mrs.

lanta any day.
Made crutchfieId Jealous.
The chivalrous southerners liked to
hear her called that, because she really
was. But Crutchfield resented this
compliment to his beautiful wife. He
didn't like the drives and the dinners
and the dances. He had an idea that
his wife should stay at home more and
look out for Loudette and Paul, their
two little boys Mrs. Crutchfield could
not see things In his light.
They quarreled; they separated.
Then Atlanta society learned for the
first time that everything In the
Crutchfield home was not as 1t should

One "Turned Down" Plate.
Crutchfield made the ninth member
of the party, and insisted on turning
down" an empty plate.
Whether this was a tribute to his
wife or some visitor who did not arrive
Is not known.
While the revelry was at its height
Mrs. Crutchfield was meaning on her
couch in the hospital. She will soon
be out now, crippled for life. Crutch-
field was asked II he had not intended
to cripple her in exactly the way he
did.
NO." said he, IT didn't. never said
that, but I do know a friend who has
lost both his legs. You just call up
the hospital where they took him and
see II she didn't go there and nurse
him when he was hurt"
And that is where this case Of latter
day revenge stands now. There will
be two trials-a criminal one for felon.
ious assault and another for divorce.
Much that will startle will be brought
out then.
But, no matter who wins or loses,
all Atlanta Is saying, What a ven-
geance!"

I rael had been encamped by the side
of Jordan. The swift-moving stream
flood full, for 1t was the time of the
spring freshets and the waters had
overlooked their banks-seemed to
separate them effectually from the re-
gions which stretched out on the
other side In verdant beauty as far
as the eye could see. And more than
ever did the people turn with half en-
vious eyes upon their brethren Of the
tribes Of Reuben and Cad and part
of the tribe of Manasseh as they saw
them comfortably settled upon their
Inheritance. Their focks and herds
spread themselves over the plains and
seemed to share the feelings OF their
masters that at last they had found
rest and were at home.
To be sure Moses had granted their
request In asking for inheritance upon
that side Of Jordan, but 1t seemed to
the people waiting there by the side
Of the swollen Jordan, separated from
their own inheritance, that the tribes
of Reuben. Cad and Menasseh were
getting quite the best Of matters. And
now 1t was the third day since Joshua
had summoned the people together
and had declared that within three
days they should Cross Jordan. What
q day that had been! What rejoic-
ing in the camp. and how the people
had made haste to move from Shittim,
where they had been encamped for 70
many weeks, and to come to tho very
brink Of the river.
And Joshua had sent out messagea

Tower" But even here he was not
locked in cell, and there is likelihood
Of police investigation as to why he
was not.
Instead, Crutchfield was assigned to
sunny room. He has fitted 1t up as a
combination library and sitting-room-
this man who had his awful vengeance.
There his stenographers report to him
every day. He dictates his letters and
cleans up his days business, and after
that he reads and smokes at ease. He
has been allowed big graphophone,
and he has 100 odd records of the
latest songs and marches.
II Had Rather Be on the Outside

Crutchfield, and the other prisoners
along his corridor enjoy 1t as much

usually switches to another tune, "a

SERMON ETTE.

There 10 q beautiful picture
here In this service which the
ReubenItes and the Gadites and
part Of the tribe Of Manasseh
performed for their brethren.
II emphasized the vital rela-
tionshlp which one bears to 9TH
ers about him, and the RESPONSE
bllity which one must share In
securing blessings for the lives
Of others.
These men had found their in
heritance. They were at home
with their wives and little ones,
and flocks and herds. From, a
purely selfish standpoint they
had nothing more to gain by war
and conflict.
But they must needs cross Jor-
dan, too,for their brethren needed
them. These had not yet found
rest. They had not yet come
into possession Of their inherit

the Gadites and the men Of Man.
asseh willingly left their pos
sessions behind to serve their
brethren and help them obtain
the blessing In which they were
already rejoicing.
There is nothing which Is re-
ceiving so much emphasis to-
day az the duty which man owes
to his brethren. Every man
owes something to his fellow

The preparation which these
men made was the earnest Of
