HIS SOON0EE OAI nGI WILL
LET OTHER SIDE TALK
Atlanta, Oct. 15.-While the At
lanta public and the Atlanta newspa-
pers are "eating up" evry fresh de-
tail connected with Mr.. and Mrs. E.
C. Bradstreet's connection with the
Fsairburn bank robbery and fire-at
least those details which add to the
story of Mrs. Bradstreet's sudden ele-
vaitno from poverty and almost rags
to luxury, diamonds and apartments
in q fashionable hotel-there are
some even more sensational develop
ments which may alter the trend of
the case enorely.
Attorneys for w. B. Green, the vice
president of the bank, who is charged
with embezzIement, and whose pre-
liminary hearing will lbe had before
Judge John B. Hutcheson of the
Stone Mountain Circuit, in Campbell
county. so soon as Auditor Martin
has proceeded far enough to ascertain
the condition of the bank, have adopt
ed a policy of saying nothing for
rrint. Their position is that the
other angles in the case, through the
other attorneys and those under accu-
sation, can first do all the talking
they want to, and set up all the tre-
cries they see fit. When this is all
over, according to Green's counsel,
they will be ready to act for their
| client.
