DIR. WEAVER BACK TRACKS
Asheyille Physician Now Admits That
He Was Mistaken i'm Saying That
He Had Treated Mrs. Minor Morris
Was Assured THAI His Former
Letter Would be Considered Conf
Dental.

Asheville, June I'm view of the
publication Of his letter written to
Major Sylvester, Of Washington, rela-
tive to the mental condition of Mrs.
Minor Morris, and of the controversy
that has ragged in regard to the let
ter and his motives in writing it, DR..
H. B. Weaver, of this city, finally this
afternoon decided to make a clean
breast of the affair and a public state
ment. q
In the course of his letter to Thorn.
as S. Rollins, which vas used in ex-
o%neration Of Barnes, DR.. Weaver said:
Il deem it proper under the circum-
stances, to state frankly, as a ply
stefan, my knowledge of Mrs. Minor
Morris from a medical standpoint"
DR.. Weaver then says that Mrs. Nor
ris came to A%sheyille, the he treated
her and that she was mentally I'M
balanced. 1t was this part Of the
letter that has been persistently de-
MED, Mrs. Morris stating that she
never heard of DR.. Weaver and that
she had never been in Asheville.
Now DR.. Weaver admits that he

he said, "the one to make the ad-
vance, and when writing it supposed
and was assured it would be respected
as confidential. [ was not consciously
a party to any undertaking perform
ance and [ desire that to be clearly
UNDERSTOOD.
In reply to the question of whether
he had ever treated Mrs. Minor Nor
ries, he stated that all he knew Of
the matter was that he had treated a
Mrs. Morris, the wife of a physician.
and a oma whom he believed, at
the time of writing the letter to Ma
jor Sylvester, to be Mrs. Minor Nor
ris. He was led to believe this by
the similarity of the names, the fact
that both were wives Of physicians,
from the published descriptions of
Mrs. Minor Morris and from the pub
lished accounts of her ~eccentricity and
general conduct.

spouse to a.1uery, 81 could not iden-

DIVORCED COUPLE REMOVED
Brought Together by Love for Their
Little Son.

A marriage somewhat out of the or
binary and of great interest to a large
circle of friends was consummated at
Spray yesterday at noon when Mr..
Gillian Grissom was reunited to his
former wife. from whom he had been
divorced.
The ceremony was performed by
Rector ". L. M~ellichampe, of the
Episcopal church.
1t will be recalled that several months
ago. while suffering under the grief Of
separation from her child-a bright
boy of six or seven yeaE-Mrs. Girls
som attempted suicide In Washington
city. The said affair caused quite a SEN
sation at the time and much sympa-
thy was expressed for both Mr.. Girls
som and his formed wife. After recov-
ering from her self-infiicted injuries,
caused by a pistol shot, Mrs. Grissom
returned to Spray and was allowed to
see her child. A reconciliation between
the estranged couple took place, re-
sulting in the ceremony abve referred
to.
The marriage was not a surprise. 1t
had been expected that another mar
riage service would be performed, and
the event gives much pleasure TO the
friends Of Mr.. and Mrs Grissom.-

Where Teeth Are worshiped.

An American traveller recently de-
livered a lecture before a distin-
guished audience at the home of a
wealthy New Yorker. On the table
before him stood one lone object
Said the traveller: while 1 was in
India three royal commissioners were
sent there by the King of Siam to ne
gotiate for the purchase of a certain
tooth. They failed in their mission,
however, their offer Of the surprising
sum Of $250,000 for the much-cov-
eted tooth being declined.
"The tooth in question came, as the
Hindus beHeve, from out of the mouth
of Buddha-the founder of the fore
most religion of the Orient-and
hence for 2400 years that tooth has
been an object of worship.
"It is inclosed in golden casket
In a shrine in the great inner temple
at Handy and attracts thousands of
worshiping pilgrims from far and
near every year, and has never been
exposed to the gaze of an unbeliever.
I'm hundreds of other shrines in
India the teeth of human beings are
worshiped by Hindus who, above all,
value good teeth as the reward Of
good ancestry and of eternal vigilance
in the care of the body"
