SAY ADMISSION MAN
SOLD FAKE DIVORCES
TO GEORGIA PEOPLE
Continued from Page IL

followed with closer attention in the
state of Georgia than anywhere else,
dozens OF witnesses having been Sc
cured by the investigation made by
the postoffice department when the
matter was reported several months
ago. -.
Just what method of advertising
was used by the Admission attorney
to secure the applications in such
large number has not been disclosed
oy the inspectors for the department,
put 1t is known that many of the
in different sections of Georgia.
Many of them are said to have
been pretended copies of the original
DEGREES, filled in with a Typewriter,
ana the name of the presiding judge
supposed to have issued the order in
many cases being Supplied also nv
the typewriter method. Others of the
0ecrees in possession of the postor-
nee department are said to bear the
written signature of officials, so thai
an additional charge of forgery posi-
bly may arise in connection with the
governments prosecution following
the extensive developments brought
about and made public by the arrest
of the Admission lawyer
In their investigation the postof-
ice inspectors detailed on the case
came across several local cases where
the fake DEGREES had been is
sued, and in other cases men and
women both were found VINO made
the claim that they had paid the
stipulated $25 in full settlement for
the DEGREES without receiving even
the illegal kind alleged to have been
furnished so extensively by Judge
Green.
One of the most pitiful reports of
the alleged operations Of the Annis-
ton attorney came to light at the
Calhoun county courthouse here a
few days ago, when a frail, little
woman applied to Judge Thomas w.
Coleman, Jr, for a warrant for her
husband, who, she claimed, had Sc
cured a divorce from her without her
knowledge. and who had lived with
her for several months after it had
been secured making the announce
ment that he intended to leave her
on the day he showed her the di-
vorce decree in his possession. A
search of the court record failed to
show such a court order.
The woman was heart-broken over
the affair and collapsed several times
while she was telling the story in
the sheriff's office and begging some
Of the officials to prevent her hus-
band from running away and leav-
ing her and her two children by a
former marriage.

From this Major McGregor passed
to a discussion of Mr.. Watson's IL
lustrious fame as the author of The
Story of France" and the Life OF
Napoleon" During this period of
his speech, the delegates became inn
patient to hear Mr.. Watson, and their
calls for the sage of McDuffie became
so insistent that Major McGregor
abruptly closed with the remark:
