Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 13.-Mrs. one gina de Bouchel will reurn tol Atlanta within 10 days or two weeks to institute legal proceedings against Asa G. Candlor Sr., Atlanta capital ist, and others, for alleged defama- ton of her character, according to statement by Harry Gamble, her attorney, just before the two boarded train last night for New Orleans.
 Mrs. De Bouchel, in statements since her arrival here last Sunday, has said Mr. Candler told her he had decided that his marriage to her, which had been scheduled for 20, was Impossible" be- cause of reports that had been brought to him reflecting on her, but that he declined to reveal the source Of his information.
 After conference with his client, attorney Gamble decided to return to New Orleans instead of remain ing here for a few days, as he had announced. A woman friend of Mrs. De Bouchel from New Or leans accompanied her on the re- turn trip.
 Before her departure Mrs. De Bou- chel said she must have rest now. %The ordeal has been tremendous" she said, "but no more than mak- ing up my mind to go through with it.
 Letter Made Public
 Mrs De Bouchelle made public yesterday 8 copy of letter she said she had written to Candler before she came here, demanding to know the names of the persons she said he told her had reflected on her, and which caused the termin- ation of their engagement.
 The letter was made public through Gamble.
 The letter, which Mrs. De Bou- chel said was her final one to Candler, was dated September 28. It called on Candler to divulge the names of the men who he said cast reflections on her character.
 Do you expect me to let this hinderous slandor go unpunished? she continued. q will publish it to the whole world, and we will see if the world is credulous. asI you seem to be. and you expect me to be. If there are any such men, and I certainly do not believe there are, who make such statements, they have been paid to do it, and they shall go to the penitentiary along with those who hired them.
 This is a clumsy conspiracy that imposes on nobody but you. Why did it come up in Atianta right at tho time, in fact just in time to stop your coming to Reno for ou> wedding on the goth? Why does it come up in Atlanta at all, except that it is distant fom my home and friends and where itl will be harder for mo to meet?"
 Declaring that her attorney told her MT. Candlor had said the per son was travelling salesman. Mrs. De Bouchelle said she would call on the travelling salesmen of the South to protect her" an innnocent, defenseless woman"
 Must Disclose Accuser.
 You must divulge the name of this person" the letter continued. Unless you do I'll go on the assump- tion that there is no such person, and that you have been too will ing to be imposed upon.
 Besides. you are Christian gentleman. As a Christian gentle man. as man of honor. can you treat helpless woman this way? You know I have not single male relative in the world am not appealing to you as my prom ised husband and natural protector. but just man. Are you willing to see mo treated this way in your city, in your home, where you are all powerful? Oh, how can you thlnk for moment that I ought to accept this insult in silence. and humbly steal away into some remote place t1 hide the shame of woman cast aside because she is not sup posed to be a good woman? I'll never do it.
 'I ontreat you by our friendship, in the name of the feelings of af- lection that have existed between us, to go more deeply in this matter. You will find it false. It is a wicked, vicious attempt to destroy an innocent woman. If you will not comply with this request I will come to Atlanta at the risk of public misconstruction and against my every inclination, for I can not and will not allow myself to be placed in this position.
 "All I ask is pain justice.
 "Opc2ina De Bouchel"
