EX.PASTO On
AND GIRL
HELD
Authorities Charge Foster Has
Been Leading a JekyII and
Hyde Existence.

An amazing revelation of a Jekyll-
Hyde existencle was made Saturday
in the arrest of the Rev. ]. w. Fos-
ter and Mrs. Maude Deane, a come
ly young woman of % years, who the
police say is Fosters affinity.
Foster it is said by the police, was
known as "the Rev J. W. Foster"
at No. $50 Gordon street, where he
lived part of the time with his wife
and seven children.
When he was at No. ga Walker
street, however, he became "J. w.
Deane," for this is where the pretty
Mrs. Deane had her apartments.
Says He Confessed.
Foster, the police officials say, con-
fessed to his dual life when arrested
and taken to the police station. The
blame ne placed on his wife.
ut was She" he cried, who drove
me from the ministry with her suspi-
cions and insinuations and her
charges that / was improperly ia
miliar with wives of the deacons in
our church at Waco, Texas. Finally
she virtually drove me from home, she
made life so miserable and unhappy
for me-"
The young Mrs. Deane was in a
hysterical condition when she was
brought to the police station. When
bonds were fixed at $500 each and the
officers started back with them to
their cells, Mrs. Deane screamed
piercingly and it was feared that she
would swoon.
Preacher in Waco.
Foster was a preacher In the Bap-
fist Church in Waco until about two
and half years ago. When he came
to Atlanta, he abandoned the cloth
and engaged in the real estate bust
ness, preaching occasionally from
time to time.
Mrs. Deane separated from her hus-
band several years ago and she tod
the officers when arrested that she
did not know of his whereabouts. She
was podl dtI III Tie
of Foster, in Waco, and the infatua-
ton is supposed to have started al
that time. She came to atlanta al
about the same time that Foster his
wife and children made the Journey
He Is about 46 and she %.
She Visited Court.
B. B. Posey, assistant probation
officer, brought about the discovery
of the alleged relations Of the pair.
A son of Foster was in the Juvenile
Court for shooting at another lad
Mrs. Deane visited the court, repre-
senting that she was a widow and d
friend of the Foster family. Wher
Posey went to her home at No. 81
Walker Street one day to inquire
about the Foster boy, he was tolc
that Mrs Deane had just gone W
town to meet her husband.
His suspicious were aroused and
he started an investigation that re-
suited in the arrest Saturday after
noon at her apartments.

tahoochee River bridge, short
distance before the train arrived
in Bolton. They could distin-
guish plainly where the hold-up
men had slipped.
The tracks showed the robber slid
as he dropped off the rear platform
of the train. The footprints were
fairly plain until they got on the hard
ground, and then they disappeared
utterly. There was no way to pick
them up except through the work Of
the bloodhounds.
