Especial to the Appeal

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. S.-One "t
the most important developments IN
the case Of the Nelms sisters was
made public Saturday when Marshall
Nelms announced that he had locat-
ed Mary Cavanaugh and had secured
from her full statement OF her con-
nection with the mystery.
Mary Cavanaugh was supposed 10

ious Mrs. Margaret Minis and to have
worked with Victor lnnes in MS

times Innes registered under le

There are two developments in the
Nelms case, both Of which came from
the activities of Burns detectives who
have taken up the case with vlgor
that has resulted in numerous reve-
lations.
The first development indicated
that Mrs. Innes knew more about the
disappearance of the Nelms sisters
than she would tell. This develop
m,nt came in the report OF a Burns
operative upon conversation be
tween Mrs. Innes and friend.
Mrs. Innes, according to the re
port. had said that it was her under
stnding that her husband had invest
ed the money he obtained from Elois'
Dennis in oil interests in Mexico, an'
chat the transactions had been car
ried on through the agency OF Mrs
Margaret Minis, who handled tn
Mexican investments.
The other development revealed N
interesting side Of lnnes-the human
side, which has hitherto been undis

to his stepson. Arthur Harbaugh, ad
