Woman Who Threw
Acid Burned Worse
Than Mrs. Presnell

Mrs. Gladys Presnell, ticket seller
at the Strand theater, will not lose
her eyesight as the result Of burns
from carbolic acid thrown in her face
by Mrs. Nell Goodman Rolader, OF
20 Simpson street, on Monday. Ply
sicians at the Grady hospital, where
the young woman is undergoing
treatment, stated Friday that the
critical juncture in her case had
passed and that she would probably
recover rapidly. Her sight may be
somewhat impaired, they say, but
nell's face is badly Scared, however.
Mrs. Rolader, who is still held at
police headquarters under blanket
charge of "suspicion," will probably
suffer greater permanent injury than
the woman she attacked, Her right
eye was badly burned when the acid
splashed back in her face as she
theater ticket window. The nerves
in the eye have become paralyzed, &C
cording to the physicians and the
sight will always be dimmed. Her
face is also somewhat SCARED by the
acid.
G. and James L. Moore, counsel for
Mrs. Rolader, will make application
for bail, they have announced. 1t is
understood that she will be arraigned
before Recorder Johnson on charge
of disorderly conduct and after a
hearing, may be bound over to the
state courts on misdemeanor
charge. The authorities say that she
can be tried for assault, but that
since Mrs. Presnelps eyes have not
been destroyed, the charge Of may
hem could not be sustained under
the statute.
Mrs. Presnell still insists that she
did nothing to arouse Mrs. Rolader' S
anger, that she did not accept the at
tentions of Arthur Rolader after she
learned he was a married man. Mrs
Rolader claims she attacked Mrs
Presnell in defense of her home.

rested by Department OF
Justice After Many Conn.,
plants

A well-dressed young man who de-
scribed himself as E. H. McAfee.
aged thirty-three, of Smyrna, Ga,
fell into the hands Of department of
justice agents Thursday and is held
in the Fulton tower while complaints
that he posed as a government Of
ficial and swindled hundreds of At
lantians out of small sums of money
are being investigated.
Government agents said they had
been on the lookout for McAfee for
three weeks. Special Agent A. E.
Farland nabbed him in the lobby of
the postoffice Thursday while. it is
alleged, he conversed with an intended
victim, a well-known business man.
When arrested, it is alleged, Nc
Afee was wearing a badge of the
secret service and the insignia of a
state policeman. Government agents
said he made no explanation Of his
possession of these badges and de-
clined to talk until he had consulted
a lawyer.
Agents Of the department of JUS

partment of the secret service and
of the postal inspection depart
ment. They say he made repre-
senta tons that he had offices in the
federal building, and told his victims
he would guarantee them full pro-
lection from federal charges if they
made it worth his while.
Operating as postoffice inspector
the agents said. McAfee eXtorted
various small sums from employees Of
ch1ged his badge to that Of the Sc

TOPROBE PLACING
OF HOMES BABIES

Investigation will be made immedi-
ately by the state board of public
welfare to determine whether the
foundlings from st. Mary's hospital.
operated by Mrs. M. T. Mitchell. at
p Windsor street. have been placed
in good homes. This fact developed
Friday after the board had secured
from Mrs. Mitchell's books all avail
able data concerning the babies
placed from that institution during
the past few years.
at is not our intention to give pub
licity to the mothers of illegitimate
children" said Burr Blackburn, Sec
rotary of the board. Our only con-
Germ is for the helpless little ones
who have been left at the maternity
home. They are placed more or less
promiscuously and as far as we have
been able to ascertain, no inquiry is
made as to whether their foster par
ents are capable or competent to care
for them properly. No attempt is
made to keep in touch with the child
or the foster parents after the place
ment is made. This is most neces-
sary in all cases and the welfare
board intends to see that it is done
The records were secured by Mr..
Blackburn on Thursday afternoon,
after Mrs. Mitchell had been given
the alternative of permitting an ex-
animation of her books or submitting
to arrest on a warrant sworn out by
Mr.. Blackburn in the municipal court.
Making a demand on Mrs. Mitchell
during the morning, he was refused
permission to examine the books of
the hospital and during the late aft
ernoon he appeared at the institu-
tion with two bailiffs from the mu-
nicipal court armed with warrant
from Judge T. o. Hathcock
Mrs. Mitchell stated that she had
refused to surrender her books
by advice of her attorney, but when
the warrant was exhibited, she
agreed to permit an examination at
4 o'clock. At that time Mr.. Black
burn was given access to the rec
ords and he secured such data as he
desired relative to the homes in
which the babies had been placed.
1t was stated that even when the
warrant was shown to her, Mrs.
Mitchell would not open her records
until Mr.. Blackburn had isgned an
agreement not to disclose the names
of the mothers of the foundlings.
"All my work of fifteen
years will be lost if the names of
those unfortunate girls are made
public" said Mrs. Mitchell. eve
are giving them a chance to go back
into society an an equal basis. What
chance will they have if their names
are told to the world?"
Under the state law the welfare
board is authorized to investigate the
operations of such institutions as
ST. Mary's hospital, to see that the
babies are placed in proper. homes
and under the right kind of lnflu.
ences.
The Fulton County Medical So
ciety, at a meeting held Thursday
night, appointed committee to in
vestigate the circumstances sur
rounding the home. Several mem=
hers Of the organization defended
Mrs. Mitchells operations, declaring
that institutions pr this character
are necessary to Solve the present
day problems of society.
