SCHOOL GIRL AND
DOCTOR ELOPEIN-
LATTER'S AUTO

At twilight Thursday, Miss Mar
garet Tillman, daughter of Charlie D.
Tillman, the famous evangelist and
hymn writer, climbed out of second
story window at Washington SEM
mary and, meeting her young Loch-
invar at the north gate of the
grounds, where his automobile had
been chugging for forty-five minutes,
sped away to the minister's and be-
came Mrs. DR.. Lewis Douglas.
Today the elopement is the sensa-
ton of the Fashionable girls school
where young Mrs. Douglas was a
member of the senior class and where
she had expected to graduate next
June, until Love not only laughed at
Locksmiths, but at window screene,
teachers eyes, parental opposition
and everything else that had con-
spired to keep her and DR.. Douglas
apart.
The story Of the elopement was
told to The Journal Friday morning
by Mrs. DR.. S. F. Foster, at whose
residence, I'll Peachtree street, the
wedding ceremony was performed in
the presence of a number of guests
who had gathered for the celebration
Of the Fosters thirtieth wedding an
niversary.
According to Mrs. Foster, the two
young people had been deeply in love
for some time, but Mr.. and Mrs. Till
man had opposed the marriage OF
their daughter until she had finished
her education, and had refused to- al
low DR.. Douglas, who is a prominent
young dentist with offices in the Can
dler building, to call on MISS Mar
garet.
Therefore, the elopement was
planned. DR.. Douglas, she said, had
his car waiting, and his sweetheart,
unable to escape by the front door
of the seminary without being seen,
pried the screen off the window OF
her room, jumped out into the daAk-
ness, had her roommate throw her
suitcase after her, and made her way
to the north gate, where Dr.. DouglaS
lost no time in speeding the machine
away.
thirtteth wedding anniversary was be-
ing celebrated with the following
guests present: DR.. and Mrs. Lucian
Lamar Knight, Dr.. and Mrs. r. S.
Burns, Mr., and Mrs. John M. Coop
er, DR.. and Mrs. DeLos Hill, Mr.. and
Mrs. Judson p. Douglas, Mrs. W. NJ.
Zirgle and DR.. r. A. Edmondson, pas
tor of ST. PauPs Methodist church.
The Fosters were in the secret, but
only Dr. Edmondson, of the others,
knew what was going to happen.
Seven thirty arrived. One of the
guests, inspired by the occasion, went
to the piano and struck into the we'd
ding march. DR.. Edmondson arose,
smiling And then the dooSbell rang
and there entered the bride and
groom, wind blown but exultant.
And there, scarcely before the
guests could recover from their as
Mrs. Douglas.
The bridal pair left Friday morn
ing for an automobile tour of south
Georgia, before making their future
home in Atlanta.

EXPLANATION OF
BODY OF, ELMER'S
WIFE SUGGESTED

A new development in the Shepard
poison investigation in Fort Valley,
Ca, was contained Friday in tele-
gram received by Dr.. T. F. Abercrom-
bic, secretary of the Georgia state
board of health, from a physician in
Erie, Pa, suggesting that the body
of DR.. Elmer's first wife be eXhumed
in Jacksonville and examined in the
same way that the intestines of Mr..
Shepard are now being examined in
laboratory in the state capitol in
Atlanta.
The name of the sender of the
telegram was not given out by DR..
Abercrombie. He did not know the
doctor who sent it. Having no juris-
diction in the state of Florida or
the city of Jacksonville, there was
nothing he could do but repeat the
suggest ton to the state health officer
of Florida, whose office is located
in Jacksonville. The telegram was
as follows:
Have just read of Mr.. Shepard's
case Would advise that the body
of DR.. Elmer's former wife, buried
in Evergreen cemetery, Jacksonville,
be exhumed and examined the same
as Mr.. Shepard's."
This telegram was wired in full
by DR.. Abercrombie to the Florida
state health officer.

who is making the analysis of Mr..
Fred d. Shepard's intestines, had not

ried Mrs. l.. Hobson, of the town
Of Perry, county seat of Houston
county, few miles distant from the
their home in Fort valley. Last May
Mr.. Shepard was take suddenly
with a violent illness and died in a
few days in a hospital in Macon,
which Is near Fort Valley. During
his illness DR.. E F. Elmer, Jack
sonviile physician, who is said to
have been a friend of his and Mrs.
Shepard, is said to have been in the
home attending Mrs. Shepard's moth
er. Six weeks after his death, Mrs.
Shepard married DR.. Elmer and they
moved to Florida to live.
Subsequent developments involving
the question of Mr.. Shepard's will
caused a coroner's investigation and
the elimination of his body for a
poison investigation.
While this investigation is in prog
ress, there comes the telegram from
the musician in Erie. Pa. suggesting
the exhumation and examination of
the body of the first wife of DR..
EIme How long she has been dead
was Iot known in Atlanta. That
there was a former Mrs. Elmer was
not mentioned heretofore in the in
vestigation. DR.. Abercrombie has no
official connection with the eXamina-
ton of the intestines of Mr.. Shepard,
since DIR. Everhart IS acting as pri-
Yate chemist, privately employed.
