MEADOWS DIAMOND FIELD.
Frank Johnesss Discovered DIAMONDS
{ Among the Gems Of the Rock Flat
Mines East Of Town.

On Saturday last, the Rock Flat
Placer mines east of town, passed
to syndicate of eastern capitalists,
who sent Frank Johnesse here to
take charge OF the work on them.
He gathered up about 100 pounds
of the gray trachyte dyke In which
gems of the various kinds have been
found at intervals for several years
past and carried same to his office
for test. He was surprised to find
diamond Of the purest ray, that
when cut will weigh about two and
a half to three carats. The best
experts in Boise pronounce 1t very
fine specimen and Johnesse has sent
1t on to Tiffany, New York, to have
it cut and appraised.
II 1t shall prove to ca gem of
rare value, 1t will give the Meadows
diamond field and the Rock Flat
mines big boost. For ten years
or more 1t has been an open secret

Monday the newly elected officials
will take their oath of office at Cald-

ment. Some of them have been re-
elected which is sufficient guarantee
that their services the past two years
were satisfactory. To those Dew
coming officials, however, where the
changes have been made the people
are looking for some much needed re-
lief along certain lines. There is a
very emphatic demand from all class
es of people that a halt be taken
and stock inventoried. The general
impression seems to prevail that
along many lines we have let our en-
thusiasm get the best of our Judgment
and have been going too fast. We
believe every man elected last fall
on the republican ticket in this coun-
ty will take his oath OF office with
the determination to give to the
people the best business administra-
ton the county ever experienced. We
believe each man in his particular de-
partment will exercise much care to
reduce the expenses of that depart
ment just as low as is consistent
with good government and reasonable
advancement. However the people

have a son whom l 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 flial 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
motherhood, with all its tender minis
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
err who has been name and a 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.
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 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 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
Rod 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
daring.
An Outlet For Her Daring.
This very quality of daring brought
her near to the brink, time and again.
Shooting scrapes. evolved of her hot
temper, quarrels with men and women
as daring, deeds not sanctioned by con-
vention or laval these marked her
existence.
Suddenly. four years ago or more,
she left the life of gayety, and mar
ried J. A. Keller, an automobile agent.

financial schemes and plans, the Jewels
that lie in the bank vaults here tell a
silent tale of a money spending hus-
band and of a wife, either willingly or
unwillingly, parting with her possess

Guards Family Secrets.
Attorney Jones would not reveal any,
thing that had been impaired to him
of family affairs further than that Mrs.
Appelbaum had said she had been
twice married, and that a son by her
first husband, Clyde Henderson. was in
school in Montgomery, Ala. She said
she was Miss Davis before her first
marriage
1t was learned from a court official
today that Appelbaum was the princi-
pal stockholder in the Dryola Veneer
ing Company.
All investigation locally tends to
strengthen the belief that Appelbaum
was handy at spending money and
liked women.
A letter mailed to Mrs. Appelbaum
since Mondays tragedy by Attorney
Jones contained several cancelled notes
The status of the jewels held in a To-
cal bank was not learned, though these
were put up to secure paper on which
Appelbaum realized

swayed dizzily and then fell to the
floor in commissions,
When asked by a jail guard if she
would talk TO a reporter, Mrs. Appel
baum said:
81 have talked to no one save my
lawyers They are the only ones with
whom I will talk. I will not give out
any statements at any time, or any
matter, until they are first seen and
read and authorized through them"
Appellants body lies at the Green
berg & Bond morgue today still UNI
claimed The proprietors declare they
have wired Appellants Chicago en-
ployers as to a disposition of the re
mains. but as yet have received no re-
ply. They have not been told to pro
coed with the embalming of the body
nor with any funeral arrangements Of
any kind
on the other hand, It is reported that
Mrs. Appelbsum has declared her will
ingness TO bury the body at her own
expense. II is also said that she has
not divulged the whereabouts Of APP
pelbaum's parents as she wishes to
concea his death from them.
An accident insurance policy for sc, 800
in the name OF Jerome Appelbaum has
been disclosed among Appellants eff
fects The document is made payable
to Mrs. Catherine Appelbaum, but the
woman's attorneys will not say wheth-
err or no the woman has expressed
knowledge of it's existence. The policy
is held by the United Commercial Trav-
eiers, 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 ANALYzES
VICTIM SPOWER

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.. ]. w
Hurt, county physician, after a careful
examination of the body of Jerry
Appelbaum, mysteriousy killed Tues
day in the Hotel Dakota shooting
mystery.
In looking at his corpse, l have come
to the conclusion" said Dr. Hurt, that
this man has been catalogued by the
mental specialists as the type of fellow
with whom women fall in love without
reason, save that such a fellow has
personal magnetism to such an extent
that he attracts the opposite sex with a
semi-mind force, sending out sugges-
tons 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 full underlip, the
high cheek bones-all denoting an I'M
mastered passion for the feminine.
AS | have said, the trait is not I'M
common, but it is seldom that l have
ever come upon a more perfect exam
pie of the prescribed features in such
a case.
Il have heard that the claim is now
being made that powder stains were
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 ! wish to again state, as
did before the coroner on Tuesday,
that there were no powder stains on
Appellants 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 l 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.

POLICE, SURE WOMAN
IS GUILTY, EXAMINE
EFFECTS FOR MOTIVE

In the hope of developing new evil
dence in their assiduous search into
the past of Jerome A. Appelbaum, the
slain travelling salesman, and his ac-
cused wife, detectives this afternoon
are making a minute examination of all
papers and other contents of Appel
baums trunk.
The trunk was taken in charge by
detectives today at noon and imme-
diately removed from the Appelbaum
apartments in the Dakota hotel to the
police station.
This Is the first examination of the
trunk made by officers. and they be-
lieve they will find valuable letters and
papers that will shed new light on the
mysterious tragedy
Examine Every Paper.
Every letter and paper is being close
ly perused, and every article examined
The main hope of detectives is that
they will find telltale evidence in the
trunk to further strengthen the jeal-
ousy which they believe led to the
killing. This motive is based chiefly on

months ago, answered the description
of an escaped convict OF the Michigan

Refused Special
Diet offered Her.

Night guards al the jail today said
that Mrs. Appelbaum ordered the reg
ular prison supper last night instead of
the diet of eggs and milk filed by her
physician
she ate heartily of the Cornbread
and coffee offered her" one Of the
qua rds said today. and refused to eat
the lighter food which We had special
ly prepared for her, saying that she
was hungry and wanted something
substantial to eat.
This may have caused her collapse
last night. but, of course, her mental
condition had probably more to do with
her condition than what she ate"
From the time she was taken from
her cell late yesterday and led to the
bier Of her dead mate in the morgue
of Greenberg & Bond. in Houston
street, Mrs. Appelbaum went through

When she was led back to the Tower
on the arm of her attorney she did
not break down. She was at once taken
to her cell and quietly gazing from the
window seemed to contemplatively re-
fleet on the scenes through which she
had just passed in quiet repose.
Her early evening she spent in read

she glanced through. seemingly none too

had been arranged on a tiny shelf ear
lier in the day, and these seemed to
attract her energies to a greater ex-
tent than the Book,
AS the evening advanced Mrs. Appel

herself upon her cot. When the Jail
lights we're finally extinguished and she
was seen by the night guard, to all out

approached and the clang of bell an
