A Lonely Figure.

The boy in Montgomery is a lonely
figure himself His father and his
mother. all his life, have lived apart.
and he has known no home. Even now,
a 17-year-old boy, he is boarding in
company with older men while he fol-
lows a course of study in a Montgom-
cry business college.
The boy probably feels that he owes
his mother nothing. The mother, it is
very likely, still remembers the pride
in her first born, and the love of which
she tells is sincere. And maybe she
hopes, telling herself all the time that
she has no right to hope.
That she should remember her love of
the baby seventeen years ago is some
thing itself. Her life during that pc
riod has been that of a fast set Her
pleasures have been feverishly gay.
Her sorrows have been the bitterest,
bearing remorse that gnawed and
gnawed and prompted self-destruction.
Her world has been the world of gay
ETY., and among her associates in Mont
gomery she was known as the most

FORMER HUSBAND TELLS
OF HER SHOOTING SCRAPES

MONTGOMERY. ALA, Feb. ga
wistful note came into the voice Of j.
A. Keller when he talked today of Cal
lie Scott, his former wife, who is held
in Atlanta suspected of the murder of
jerome Appelbaum. He denied inter
views attributed to him, in which he
was represented as denouncing her.
she's pretty good sort of fellow,
he said, his tone almost tender. She's
her own worst enemy. .
She was plucky clear through, he
said, and it was plain that he admired
her for it.
"She could drive any automobile l
had" he added. Mr. Keller operates a
garage. She could drive better than
any man I had, and without thought
of danger
He told of one accident in which she
nearly lost her life, and of another in
which they both We're injured. He said
he gave her four automobiles during
their association
Callie SCOTS career has been marked
by other events than automobile acct
dents, as Keller told of it, and S wom-
en- who knew her told.
Nearly 20 years ago, Caledonia Scott
fresh and pretty, came to Montgomery
FROM Brewton. near which place she
| had lived on the farm of her father

capitulated, and a happy prospect

Crazy When Jealous.
"But she was one of the most jeal-
us-hearted creatures alive" said J. a
Keller. her second husband. today, "ant
when she became jealous, she was
crazy. And she had a temper, Some
times she flew into a mad hysteria
when she seemed beside herself

ity for notes on which J. \. Applebaum
realized the proceeds, and that an in
quiry conducted on behalf of Mrs. APP
pelbaum while here resulted in a formal
report being submitted to her, indicat-
ing that her husband did have another
wife in Chicago, are declarations made
by her former attorney here, J. Laur-
cnce Jones.
A letter was received in this city by
Mr.. Jones from j. a. Appelbaum in At
lanta on February % or %. making in
qulry into the report which had been
sent TO Mrs Appelbaum from this city
on the investigation conducted to find
out II her husband had a living wife In
the city Of Chicago This letter ap-
peared TO be simply an inquiry into
the AFFAIR which had been conducted
for his wife, and contained nothing of a
threatening nature uttered by Appel
baum
The report on the Investigation " hich
Mrs Appelbaum insugated was mailed
TO her several weeks ago. II was not
anticipated that TINS report would fall
into the hands OF the husband. How
ever it did. and his letter of inquiry

suit.
Revealed Another Wife.
Mrs. Appelbaum employed the serv-
ices Of the Charlotte attorney to have
the report thoroughly investigated as to
wife No. l, and the situation which
existed in the family was today, in this
way brought to light.
Mrs. Appelbaum was advised by her
attorney here that the wisest course
for her To pursue was to secure a sep
aration from Appelbaum. after all OF
her story had been poured out and the
manner in which Appelbaum treated
her became known, but she announced
that she was going TO stay with hel
husband. Then IT was that her at.

SON, STRANGER TO MOTHER
WON'T COME TO HER trial

have son whom I love" said Mrs.
Catherine Appelbaum. when first she
sobbed out the story of her dead hus-
bands cruelty.
But the little woman. accused of
murder held in prison in a strange
city. with no hands outstretched to-
ward her support except those of her
paid retainers, is a mother to be pitied.
Her mothers love is not returned by
any fiHal affection The throng which
will turn critical, curious eyes to her
when she comes to trial for her life will
not be made more bearable by the pres
ence of the son she loves.
Claude Henderson, the son, will not
be at his mothers side in her ordeal.
He is in Montgomery. but probably will
not go to Atlanta at all
Has Never Known Her.
The boy is the son of her first mar
riage with c. d. Henderson, of Brew
ton. When she was less than 20 years
old he was born, but the pride of
trations. was not long to be vouch-
safed the girl-Wife. Henderson and
she drifted apart and the child went
out of her life
After seventeen years. she says she
loves him. And he. approaching man
hood and strength finds that the moth
er who has been name and dim
figure to him. the mother of whom he
has not been too proud, is in the grav-
est of difficulties and is unprotected eX-
cept for the sympathy that naturally
goes out to woman.
But Claude Henderson probably Will
not go to Atlanta voluntarily. He has
never known his mother He was taken
from her virtually a child in arms. He
knew that she married one man after
his father, and then another. Every
incident of her life, it seemed, but
widened the gap between them.
The mother remembers and still
loves. The boy has forgotten. or may
be is trying to forget, his mother of the
cheCkered existence.

Care of Birds.
Londonderry Sitter. J


1t is a matter of much regret that
there is great decrease year by year
in the number of birds that summer in
New England. This regret is not con
fined to those alone who love the birds
for their song and companionship, but
it is also shared by those who realize
that the birds are friends of priceless
value to the farmer and to all who
have gardens or orchards to protect
from insect pests In the north these
birds are afforded considerable prOtec-
tiOn from human beings by our laws
when the latter are enforced; but the
OVer-numerous dogs and eats capture
altogether too many of our feathered
friends But in the south the migra-
. tory birds have had almost no protec
ton by the laws, and they have been
slaughtered right and left, largely for
food. until the decrease in their mum
hers has become very apparent. Con
gress performed a much-needed service

needed. Each community must wax,
up to the fact that if the same wanton
ness and indifference in regard to on
bird life continues to exist during tn
next ten years as has existed in tn
past, some of the species will becom

Let it be known that each commu

BELLOWS FALLS.
Special Meeting to Consider Extension
of Sewer System.

The trustees OF the Bellows Falls
village corporation have called a spe-
cial meeting for Monday evening, April
Il. to act on the recommendations of
Engineer F. \. w Hammatt of Newton
Center. Mass, i'm regard to the sewer
situation. Mr. Hammatt 5 report has
been printed and is being circulated
among the voters. 1t is Il 2O-page
pamphlet and Is pages are given 10
more or less technical description of
the present sewer system and i'm
prOvements that are needed to put il
in good condition. The sewer system
of the village is inadequate. having
been built in 1885, and long outgrown
its usefulness.
To put the system into q condition
that would make it unnecessary 10 i'm
prove it IN many years would cost
S32 .255, according to the engineer :
report, and as this village is not finan-
cially able to cNpend this much
money on the work Mr.. IIammatt has
made specific recommendations for i'm
| prOvemeuts that are absolutely neceS-
Sary to carry the surface and house
sewage. He recommends as o. i'm
mediate Importance the construction of
/ u relief sewer, TO relieve the brio
sewer ON Atkinson street. built IN
/ 1885, which viii cost $14,215: a change
/ in the Atkinson street sewer between
/ School and Oak streets, at an est
mated cost of Sl.O50; change in the
/ Oak street sewer between Atkinson
street and Church place, at an esti
mated cost OF $40: a. change in the
Burt street sewer, between Atkinson
and Pine streets. at an estimated cost
OF $1,000; change in the Pine street
sewer, between Burt and Williams
terrace streets, NJ an estimated cost
OF $50; and a new outfall into the
Connecticut river. which will cost
S2.S90, making the total amount of tn,
costs to carry out his recommendation,
S20.535.
The voters may vote to carry out q
part or all of the engineer : recommen
dations, but it is doubtful if the tota
appropriation can be cut to less thar
S17,0 900 as the necessity of improve
ments are immediate and if they az,
delayed the conditions are sure to he
come worse.
