of a well known Montgomery merchant
and politician that she turned a re-
volver on herself and sent a bullet into
her body several years ago. The at
tempt at suicide was made on Wash
ington street, downtown thorough
fare, in broad daylight, soon after she
saw the man she loved walking with
another woman.
Then came a period in her life when
men were many. In her relations with
them her fatal temper and jealousy
were aroused often, and the tempestu-
Gus career of the little country girl"
came near to being terminated sadly
when she welded revolvers with sin
cere intents to kill men.
Once, in her home on Hall street,
she shot Lamar MARITIME who was
not, as has been enormously stated, on
the police force, who was plaguing a
girl who was her guest. Martin re-
covered. Once again, she entered a
newspaper Office and, at the point of Il
gun, forced a man who had broken an
appointment with her to leave his
work.
Then came Keller iovial dark hair

The house on Hall street went. Ru-
NOR has it that it was mortgaged and
that, with the proceeds of the eXecu-
ton, Keller was established in the au-
tomobile business.
Keller, on the other hand, says it was
she who was benefited financially by
the union, and that he paid her debts

inconstant heart.
She has returned since several times
but for only short stays, in the course
of which, however, she spoke of her
husband. To her friends, though-and
she had many friends in Montgomery
and still has-she was always Calie

But country girl no longer. She
had diamonds, and the knack of dar-

mature woman that Jerome Appelbaum

and who loved him, as she sobbed out

Atlanta Tower, and as she seemed to

Expert Says
She Can t Collect.

An insurance expert told The Geor-
gian today:
ut is hardly possible that the woman
who has been known as Mrs. Appel
baum can collect the $4,000 accident
insurance on the life of Jerome Appel
baum, which he held in the United
Commercial Travellers Association,
there being a number of reasons why
the company could not be held liable for
the payment OF the death claim.
"Appelbaum was either shot by the
to the belief Of those who have followed
the case. In the event that it is proved
she shot him, the company would be re-
lieved from payment on the ground that
it Is against public policy for crimi-
nal to profit by the commission of a
crime. II he committed suicide, the
company Is relea sed by the terms of it's
policy, which provides specifically that
self-destruction Is not covered.
But even in case the woman is ac-
Quilted and 1t is shown that Appel
baum could not have committed sui
eide, and accidental shooting or muir
der by third person is proved, she
would still not be permitted to recover
the death claim, unless she could prove
that she was bis legal wife. If, as is
now alleged, she was not his wife, she
would not have an "insurable interest"
in his life, and If she was named as his
wife in the application for the insur-
ance this would constitute a breach Of
warranty, which would annul the poll
cy, In case accident were proved, his
legal heirs would have first claim upon
the amount and would probably contest
the woman's right to the amount of in
surance.

HUSBAND TELLS
OF HER SHOOTING SCRAPES

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Feb. IA
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
garage She could drive better than
any man l 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 were injured He said
he gave her four automobiles during
their association.
Calie SCOTS career has been marked
by other events than automobile acct
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
James Scott.
"She was just a pretty country girl
said a woman who had known her
through the ups and downs of an UNI
conventional career.
She already had won the heart of c..
d. Henderson, a wealthy citizen Of
Brewton. who followed her to Mont
gomery with an ardent proposal. She
capitulated, and happy prospect
opened.
Crazy When Jealous.
But she was one of the most jeal
GUS hearted creatures alive" said j. A,
Keller. her second husband today, and
when she became jealous, she was
crazy. And she had a temper, Some
times she flew into mad hysteria,
when she seemed beside herself"
Thus is explained the end of the
Henderson romance, which came not
before a boy Claude Henderson, was
born. He is II years old, and is a stu
dent at a Montgomery business college.
He lives alone in the city
THE Country Girl"
After Henderson came several af-
fairs. The little country girl" be-
coming sophisticated, was plainly sus-
ceptible. Rumor says that it was for love

MI Jones from j. A. Appelbaum in At

sent to Mrs. Appelbaum from this city
on the investigation conducted to find
out if her husband had living wife in
the city of Chicago. This letter APP
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 which
Mrs. Appelbaum instigated was mailed
to her several weeks ago II was not
anticipated that this report would fall
into the hands of the husband. How

THERE is only one thing among the

hair that produces results which you
can actually see. The claims made for
most of the hair tonic sold very disap-
pointing, as many women realize.
The formula which I finally made up
after many tests proved to be a very re-
markable one One of the best features
about this formula is that you use one
ingredient in concentrated form, and by
making up the formula yourself in a few
minutes. you have several times the
quantity which you would get by buying
tonics-and,~ besides this economy, you
have not a weak hair preparation but II
