Major j. e. Hanson Files His
"a Answer i'm Divorce Suit.
Wife Made His House a Pagan
Temple.
ATTACKED BY FAMILY
Attributes Hostility to Fanati-
cism of Members.
Claims Acquaintance With Mrs.
McVicar Was Mere Incident.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 14.-The osophy
is blamed by Major ]. F. Hanson,
president of the Central of Georgia
railway for the marital trouble which
led his wife, Mrs. Cora L. Hanson to
bring suit recently for divorce. Mrs.
Hanson charged cruelty, neglect and
too much attention on the part of the
major to Mrs. Jack" Horner, now
Mrs. James McVicker, a beautiful
young society woman of New York.
Major Hanson filed his answer today
in the superior court of Fulton coun-
ty 1t contains 81 pages of printed
matter and categorically denies each
of his wife's charges. In conclusion
he says:
Further answering plaintiffs bill,
defendant AYERS that until theosophy
came in, as an element of discord, he
had a united and happy family. The
theosophists of defendants family
soon added to the zeal of new converts
the arrogance, intolerance, agrees
sion and bigotry of fanatics and
sought to lead or drive every one
around them into theosophy.
THE defendants house at Macon
soon became the headquarters for this
character of work in the city. De-
PENDANTS refusal to entertain the idea
of ever becoming a theoSophiSt be-
cause he regarded it as a modern form
OF pagan1Sm, caused the hrSt chanSe
in plaintiffs feeling toward him.
when every effort to force defen-
dant to bear the burdens of theosophy
by putting up money for the universal
brotherhood scheme had failed, the
plaintiff, with one other member of
her family, resolved to attack him in
such way that public defense would
be impossible and destroy him.
Before members of defendants
family became theosophists they were
kind, considerate and respectful; af-
forwards they opposed in every con-
cefvable way the wishes of the defen-
dant-
Defendant does not believe this
cruel and unjust treatment by mem
bers of his own family was due to any
natural perversity on their part, but
was due to the fanaticism resulting
from the acceptance by them of a
strange religion.
1.-THE defendant further alleges that
the association with Mrs. Horner is a
mere incident in the campaign against
him by the theosophists of his family
because they could not force him to
bow his neck to the yoke of theos-
ophy.'
Both Major Hanson and his wife
are we'll advanced in years, while Mrs.
McVickar is quite young.

BODY WAS ExHUMED.
And Now Claimed That Lieut.. Sutton
Could Not Have Killed Himself

Washington Sept 14-When the body
of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr., the
young marine officer. who met his death
about two years ago at Annapolis, was
exhumed at Arlington cemetery yes
terday afternoon an autopsy perform
ed by physicians representing the navy
Departments and young Suttons mother,
disclosed the TACT that no bones were
broken, although confusion was found
over the right eye.
1t had been Mrs. Sutton's contention
that her sons arm had been broken in
the fight which preceded his death, and
that, this being the case. the shot which
ended his life could not have been self
inflicted.
DR.. George Tully Vaughan, VINO rep
resented Mrs. Sutton at the autopsy,
said last night that the bullet wound
~hich caused Suttons death was three
inches above the right ear and was
Clean cut. There was no indication
that the hair and scalp had been burned
by powder.
Surgeon Spear, who represented the
ravy department, declined to make a
statement today. saying that he intend
go to make Il report to the navy de-
partment.
Attorney Van Dyke. associate coun-
sci for Mrs Sutton said last night he
was convinced that the shot had been
fred at least five feet from the officers
head and that the wound showed con-
ciusively that it was a physical i'm
possibility for Sutton to have fired the
shot.
Present at the grave wnen the body
was disinterred, were Mrs. Sutton, sew
eral friends, her attorneys, several
surgeons and a number of newspaper
men. Mrs. Sutton was the first person
to look upon rhe face of her dead son
when the casket was opened. After
leaving the store room where the body
lay, she said to the newspaper men:
81 want you newspaper men to go in
there and see for yourselves that his
forehead is crushed
After viewing the body the newspaper
men were excluded from the room and
the surgeons began the autopsy.
After the autopsy had been complet-
ed. the body was placed in a new cof-
fin provided by the government and
was reinterred in the same grave after
the ground had been consecrated by
Father Olds of st. Augustine Catholic
church, this city.
Mrs. Sutton and her attorney indica-
ted last night that the autopsy just
performed viii; not close the case. Mrs.
sutton is credited with saying:
1--WE will give them the fight of their
lives
1t is declared that her attorneys will
make every effort to bring the men she
believes responsible for her sons death
tic justice Mrs. Sutton is said to be
anxious to have the case presented to
a Maryland grand july.
