The prominence of the principals to

Ashevile colony, but only fragments of
the affair were reported in New York
until Mrs. Edwards identity was re-
'vealed by her departure for the South.
. Mr.. Edwards is the son of one Of
the wealthiest families Of Norfolk. In
1896 he was married to Miss Lettle
a talented young singer, and
'protege Of Nine. Calve. She was well
known at that time in musical circles.
Edwards inherited a fortune from his
father and for q few years life ran
on pleasantly with the young couple.
Then Mrs. Edwards began to complain
of neglect. Matters Went from bad to
