SAYS.STOCK SALE
IS USURER'S VILE
Locomotive Engineer Declares
in Suit That His Salary Will
Not Pay Interest.

According to r. L. Robinson, a rail-
road engineer, who appeared in supe-
rior court today as a plaintiff. against
sundry Atlanta loan agents, the very
latest thing in excessive interest loans
is stock selling as a dodge to evade the
law.
Robinson maintained to the court
that he borrowed S5S from the Guaran-
tee Investment Company and was as
sessed a monthly interest of $12.10. He
said that t. L. McCurry, manager OF
the loan company, told him that $10.1C
of the amount went for the purchase OF
stock in the guarantee company He
said that no stock certificates were is
sued him nor did he have a hand in the
affairs of the company.
Robinson, in an effort to get an in
junction restraining various agents
from taking his wages at the Southern
railroad, told the court his adventures
with several companies.
He said that P. P Jackson had in
duced him to sign what is called "a
thousand mile order" described as ar
assignment Of wages and the granting
of a power of attorney In the thou
sand mile order" Robinson obtained
$o7 at twenty per cent monthly inter
est. His failure to pay brought q
threat from Jackson, which. If exc
cuted, meant the loss of his job.
While tied up with Jackson and the
Guarantee Investment Company, Rob-
inson says the Atlanta Finance Com
pany loaned him $50 at a monthly in
terest rate of twenty per cent and took
an assignment of wages, refusing to lei
him see the paper that he signed. He
was led to believe that it was merely
promissory note. In addition, he got
s2S for $3.50 month from w. Gar
land Cooper in the same manner.
AS a result, four companies, all hold
ing Thousand mile orders against
| him, are threatening to levy on his
wages as an engineer He told Judge
Bell that the Southern railway made il
rule to discharge a man if an as
signment order against his wages was
! presented for collection.

MRS. DOYLE DIED
 WITH PROTEST OF INNOCENCE ON LIPS
Spectre of Hypnosis Looms up in Shadow of Her Tragic
 Demise

The funeral of Mrs. Bertha B. Doyle who died at the New Haven hospital on Monday. will be held tomorrow af- ternoon at three o'clock from the un- dertaking parlors of Gallagher and Gallagher, 571 Fairfield avenue. Mrs Doyle's death was due to bronchial pneumonia and typhoid fever contract ed while detained on the charge o1 having caused the death of her three months old baby in a New Haven apartment house on June third.
 To the end the accused woman, who was only A years old, protested her innocence, and made dying state ment to one of her attendants at the hospital that she was not responsible for the baby's death, having left ii in bed with sufficient milk to feed ii until the next morning. The infant was found suffocated, its face cover ed by pillow The mother asserted that she had placed the pillow in an upright position to protect the baby from a draught from nearby win dow.
 Mrs. Doy1e's death was particularly pathetic, in that she was denied the presence of her husband. and children during her illness and that the Cath olic priest for whom she begged pite-
 
 tant faith, was not summoned until too late. Before he arrived Mrs. Doyle had died.
 The story of how the young woman left her home in this city on June 3 attracted much attention at the time. since Mrs. Doyle was known to have devoted husband, with whom she resided on Maplewood avenue, and lived in absolute harmony with her relations at-law
 During ten months of the eleven of her residence in Bridgeport Mrs. Doyle was a model wife Last spring, however, she came under the influence of Charles Strout, man who deliv- cred ice at her home and who boast ed of his hypnotic influence over the opposite sex. Strout was many years old than Mrs. Doyle, already possess ed of a wife, and endowed with no great physical attractions. After six weeks acquaintance, he induced Mrs. Doyle to elope with him and abandon her infant in New Haven. Two other little boys, aged respectively three years and fifteen months, were sent to the home of Mr. Doy1e's mother. Following the finding of the dead in- fant in New Haven, the clipping cou- pie were arrested in Stamford. MT, Doyle, who is a foreman in a local factory. knew Strout only as the man who delivered ice at his home. His wife's presence with the man in Stam- ford was a shock of surprise and hor- TOT.
 MT. and Mrs. Doyle were married in New Haven over four years ago and always appeared very much in love with each other The young wife, who was Miss Bertha E. Thompson of Dan- bury, prior to her marriage, was an attractive girl of much beauty, and
