Now Here's
What Happened
To This Wife

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 6.-Policeman
F. Fl. Womack, whose wife has left him
and who has been ordered by the court
to pay her alimony, declares that Mrs
Womack's mind was unbalanced by
constant visits to palmists and for
tune tellers, of whom there are many
in Atlanta.
Mrs. Womack said her reason for
leaving her husband, it will be re-
membered, was that he was a traffic
officer on a downtown corner and spen%
too much time looking at the pretty
g;Ils who passed and that he finally
fell in love with one of them and neg
lected her.
But the officer tells different story.
He says the fortune tellers poisoned
his wife's mind against him and final
~ unhinged her mind entirely.
