SILVEY THOMAS GETS DIVORCE.
Atlanta Girl Who Married Her
Chauffeur Free Again.

Atlanta, Ga, July lin spite of
attempts to keep it secret, it was
learned that Mrs. Silvey Spec:
Thomas was granted a divorce in the
Superior Court here last Tuesday.
1t was last September that Miss
Speer, daughter of w. A. Speer, and
prominent in local first family cir.
cles, eloped with her chauffeur, Rus
sell j. Thomas. Her parents pursued
the couple, had them detained and
carried off the bride Of a few hours.
She was spirited to New York and
thence to Europe, to escape the
search of her youthful husband. The
latter has brought suit against his
affections. In statement signed by
Mrs. Thomas she said that young
Thomas made love to her, but she
resented 1t. Next he told her that
unless she married him he would kill
her father. She averred that upon
the day Of their elopemcnt, Septem-
ber 2S, Thomass father telephoned
her that unless she came &c Marietta
and married his son, her father
would be killed. She went to the
place agreed upon and was very
nervous. The elder rnomas. she
asserts, gave her a tablet, and after
swallowing it she claims she did not
remember what happened, except in
daZ@d way. She believes now that
she was drugg"d, and that while in
this state she went through a mar
riagc ceremony.

Catarrh being constitutional dis
