Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, informed Of
the details OF Mrs. Simmons state

way. He would not say that he had
seen or heard OF Mrs. Simmons, or
that he had not seen or heard Of her.
Nothing whatever to say about it"
he said.
Later in talking about the case,
and. with no reference to connect the
story with that of Mrs. Simmons, the
Solicitor mentioned what lie termed
an odd offer OF evidence" that came
10 him while investigating prior to
the trial

with him more than half IN hour
Il told him just what | have told
you, and he said, Are you sure about
the time?' | told him I was, and
that it was when the Decora tion Day
parade was passing. That is how l
fixed the time. He says to me, Now,

contained in the Official orders re-
ceived from the War Department by
Major Martin Thursday, The officers
of the post were called together i'm
mediately after the orders were re-
ceived, and informed of their con-
tents. The information that the
regiment probably would not return
to Atlanta, but would go from the
border to foreign service, was given
to the officers by Major Martin, who
had been so advised by the War De
partment. The regiment has about
% officers. and will total in the neigh
borhood of $50 men, in twelve com
panies.
Transfer Welcomed by Men.
Although it was generally known
about the post that the regiment
would leave shortly for the border,
there was an air of uncertainty about
the rumors that was dissipated with
the receipt of the official orders. En-
listed men have been packing their

ment The dispatching of the troops
to the border is welcomed by officers
and men alike as a break in the mo-
notony of army life, and every man at
the post heard of the receipt of the
marching orders with pleasure.
Most OF the men who are now with
the Seventeenth saw service on the
border three years ago when the Ma
dero revolution toppled Diaz from the
presidency of Mexico, and are familiar
with the country to which they are
going. Hope is high among the en-
listed men that they will be sent into
Mexico and get a chance to see actual
service. but among the officers the
general belief is that there is little
likelihood of an invasion of the
Southern republic.
I'VE expect to have to stay on the
border for six or eight months" said
one of the officers Friday, land then
we probably will go to Hawaii. There
is little likelihood of an invasion of
