Rose Promises ACGian.
Rose vows she won't stay put,
but what could she do against the
combined brains and bicepts of
Sheriff Guy r. Williams and States
Attorney Reed r. Cutler, not men
kioning her husband, because her
husband remained out of arms

Yesterday was a much buster Day

the festivities begin for Mr.. Cutler.

er 'Eshelman appeared In the court

and Raywatt were arraigned. Rose

A Hurried Departure.
She left the court room while
Raywatt was being arraigned and
it was then that Messrs. Williams
and Cutler staged their thriller.
they hustled Rose in a corridor of
the eighth floor, thrust her into an
elevator, hurried to the street, hail
ed a taxicab, and sped to the sta

she did.
II swan. Never saw such actin

Don't you Rosy me. What do I |

An Entertaining Exhibit.
But Big Jim was safe in the |
arms of justice, as interpreted at |
the court of domestic relations. A |
pleasant time was had by all, ex-
cept Jim. 1t seems that in searching
the room at the Plaza hotel where |
he and Rose had stopped as rIr. |
and Mrs. James Ross, the Fulton |
county sleuths had found a most in
teresting notebook.
They confronted Jim with the
notebook and he blushed guilty, |
but said nothing In each page of |
the notebook was a fair damsers |
picture. And beside each picture
reposed lock of feminine hair.
Such a riot of color. Golden locks, |
black locks, brown locks, hennaed |
and peroxided locks. Every lock I
but Roses lock, and her picture !
wasn't there.
Stop, look. listen, Rose. Appears
like he's a Theda Bara in his own
home town.
