MRS. APPELBAUM IN
MIDNIGHT COLLAPSE:
FEAR FOR HER LIFE

pelbaum's parents as she wishes to
conceal his death from them.
An accident insurance policy for $4,000
in the name of Jerome Appelbaum has
been disclosed among Appelbaum's eff
fects The document is made payable
to Mrs. Catherine Appelbaum, but the
woman's attorneys will not say wheth-
er or no the woman has expressed
knowledge of its existence. The policy
is held by the United Commercial Trav-
elers, through the Charlotte. N. c.,
lodge
Officials of that organization say, in
a communication to local inquirers that
they will protect the holder OF the pol
icy for the amount named. However.
it is not known whether, in Appel
baum's case, the policy applies or not.

HURT TELLS HOW WOMEN
BECAME APPELBAUM'S PREY

THE perfect type of mentally de-
PRAYED person described by the famous
criminologist and mental specialist, DR..
Charles Evans"
This is the statement Of DR.. j. W.
Hurt, county physician, after careful
examination of the body of Jerry
Appelbaum. mysteriously killed Tues
day in the Hotel Dakota shooting
mystery.
In looking al his corpse. have come
to the conclusion" said DR.. Hurt, that
this man has been catalogucd by the
mental specialists as the type of fellow
with whom women fall in love without
reason, save that such fellow has
personal magnetism to such an extent
that he attracts the opposite sex with a
semi-mind force, sending out sugges-
lions through his mannerisms that
make women his prey,
An Unmastered Passion
This sort of thing is carefully de-
scribed particularly by DR.. Evans. the
great mind specialist-the man who in
the Thaw case first popularized the
term paranoiac
1T is not an uncommon trait among
men Of Appellants caste. Note his
high brow, the arched eyebrows, the
long thin nose, the fuH underlip, the
high cheek bones-all denoting an un-
mastered passion for the feminine.
"As l have said, the trait is not un-
common, but it is seldom thar / have
ever come upon a more perfect exam
pie of the prescribed features in sucf
a case.
II have heard that the claim lis now
being made that powder stains wer,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-02-27

found upon Appellants clothing and
also that the thumb and first finger of
his right hand were blackened by pow
der
Il have also heard that witnesses
will take the stand, should Mrs. Appel
baum be indicted and brought to trial,
who will swear that such is the case.
No Powder Stains.
Right here T wish to again state, as
did before the coroner on Tuesday
that there were no powder stains on
Appelbaums underclothing and that his
hands We're unmarked either by powder
stains or pressure on the trigger of a
weapon, such marks sometimes remain
ing on the fingers of a dead person in
definitely.
"Appelbaum did not shoot himself
OF this | am certain. He could not
through any personal agency, have met
his death. His wounds preclude such a
theory. He was shot from a greater
distance than five feet and the wounds
show about how he was shot.
The first bullet struck him in the
arm. The second, sent home shortly
after. touched vital spot some eight
inches to the left. The third also went
home about three inches farther to the
left and a trife lower on the body.
This proves my theory that he was
shot down. as the natural kick of a re-
volver fired three times would produce
about the same wounds as those or
! Appelbaum body.
SO far in my experience as a physi-
clan and in dealing with gunshot
wounds, / am willing to stake my rep
utation on the theory l have just ex-
] planned

Straight Front Goes;
Edict of Paris Calls
For Curves, Dimples
Now Hear the Sigh of Relief
From ALI Our Dear Bounden
Ladies of Fashion.

Here's the latest word from Paris
that center of all that is chic and saucy
all the fair ladies of the mode are
kissing farewell to the straight front
corsets into which, with many wriggles
and EXPLANATIONS, they have forced
themselves for the last year or more.
Farewell is the cry, and every new
gown is being made to fit figures that
are no longer as straight and fiat as
lead pencils. '.s-%.,~s.,s.
AT Auteutl, where the Danes de
Grace promenade to the ecstasy of
fashion experts. the new models, just
shown, present a figure that has a
graceful curve. The waist, which is
high in front, also slopes down below
the present position of the waist in
the back.
To insure this graceful curved effect
of the figure being visible and yet to
retain the supple. strenuous lines of
the mode now fashionable is causing
the corsetieres no end of trouble, the
present straight front corsets being
made chiefly of whalebone To COM
bine both effects, all the new corsets
will be made of elastic tissue, which is
more pliable and can be fitted to the
figure better
The present rage for straight fronts
has extended around the world, and it
will be some time before the new
modes, which are also declared to be
more comfortable, will be seen beyond
the watering places.
Meanwhile all ladies of fashion are
heaving a sigh of relief and murmur-
ing, Farewell straight fronts!"

No Way to Spell

The painters at work on a sign on a

Two little maids, bearing the tas-
sells of a magnificent banner carried
by Mrs. Mary McLendon, pioneer suf-
fragette of Georgia. sang the para
phrased Dixie coon song as they
marched before the members of At
lanta's civic club and showed how in
the big suffrage parade in Washington
next week they will call attention TO
the Georgia division in that great
pageant.
Following the white dressed little
rying the slogan banner, Votes for
Women in 1915"-a huge yellow flag
with the prophetic letters done in black
Miss Koch's tassel bearers were Miss
Mamie Mathews and Miss Pierce, both
ardent young suffragettes of this city
List Not Made Up.
The suffragettes met yesterday to
compile the list of those going to Wash
ington to take place in the great suf-
frage parade. On account of the fact
that the several members of the Civic
club had not as yet decided on the
Northern trip, no list of those who will
march was made public
However, the Atlanta advocates OF
votes for women did one big piece of
business at their meeting. They de-
clared that they are not militant, do not
countenance militant tactics in secur-
ing the vote, and abhor violence h
connection with the suffrage movement
the world over
The suffragettes expressed their
opinion of brick -finging methods in a
resolution drawn up and presented by
Mrs. Margaret T. McWhorter, which
passed the meeting unanimously.
Over Score to Make Trip.
They also passed a vote OF thanks tc
Miss Susan Mcclellan, who designed
the banners to be carried in the Wash
ington parade and made two of the es-
cutcheons with her own hands.
1t is said that the majority of those
who will take part in the capital pa
rade will leave Atlanta Saturday 1t is
also said that the number of those leav.
ing will probably exceed a score of vel
known women.
