Another teegram received this
morning from Miss Gadys Britton,

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 11.-Atlanta is
agog with the latest Gambler con-
tretempts, involving, this time, the
elder Asa G. Gambler, multi-million-
aire, and developments in the cancel
lation of his engagement to Mrs.
Onezima de Bouchel, famous New
Orleans beauty and society woman.
Sauce is added by the other amours
in which it was charged Mr.. Gambler
had been involved and an alleged eff
fort to blackmail him by at least one
handsome Atlanta woman.
Developments came thick and fast
during the last twenty-four hours,
following statement issued by Mrs.
de Bouchel, in which she charged
that Mr.. Gambler had accepted defam
atOry statements about hef as Crue
and had declined to give the names
of her defamers. Mr.. Gambler also
published a statement, through his
attorney, W. D. Thomson.
"Mr. Gambler sincerely regrets that
Mrs. de Bouchel should have given
such publicity to an unfortunate pri-
vate affair."" the statement issued by
Mr.. Thomson read. Certain friends
brought him information, in conf
dence, which made it impossible for
a marriage between them to have
been a happy one. He communicated
this to Mrs. de Bouchel. He has not
and would not disclose it to anyone
else. He feels it would be unfair for
him to disclose the names of his
friends, and thereby shift to them a
responsibility which he alone will

Kirby was met by the group of cit

Somerville, where he had sought un-
successfully to obtain a confession
from Hayes. The group included
several members of the committee
which had obtained the offer of
81 900 reward for the arrest and con-
viction of the slayer.
Members of the crowd protested
angrily to Kirby against the arrest
of Hayes, declaring they considered

Kirby retorted with equal candor,

rounded by the crowd which pressed
closer and closer to him.
He tried to keep straight ahead,
but suddenly found his way blocked
by angry and excited men. He look

thinnest benin him and turned and
ran in that direction. The crowd ran
after him with threats of tar and
feathers. The pursuit led past a pile
of brick. Many in the crowd stopped
long enough to get an armful of am
munition with which to hurl after the
fleeing officer. Reaching the sta

door of the baggage room, dived in

There is no indication OF increased

that normal production at this season

wife Of William v. MacNevln, fore
man of the jury that convicted
Mooney OF completely in the pre-

Mrs. MacNevin makes oath that
her husband gained much political
influence from his service as fore

he violated his oath as n juror by
holding frequent conferences with
Edward A. Cunha, assistant prose-

Jurors to vote for conviction. The
result Of these activities, she con.
tinues, was TO give MaeNeyin great

FOUR BOTTOM
FACTS ABOUT Ma
TIONAL STRIKES

Unless something unforeseen inter
venes the nation Is about TO be plung.
ed into a reign of force instead OF
reason as a result Of the coal and rail-
road disputes. Public opinion should
spring from knowledge OF basic
facts.
Here are four things that lie at
the foot of the trouble:
First, the railroad labor board, a
government agency, is under lnJunc-
ton, granted by court at the rail-
roads request, which forbids II even
to publish It's findings.
Second, the final effort TO settle the
railroad dispute broke down when,
agreeing on all else. the railroads re-
fused In taking men back TO observe
their seniority rights. That Is another
way of insisting that the railroad un-
ions be paralyzed.
Third. the coal miners are not on
strike. They had contract with the
coal operators which expired last
April. The contract provided that on
or before April /, operators and
miners should meet and negotiate a
new contract of employment. The
GENERATORS refused and still refuse TO
so negotiate. The mems jobs ended In
April when their contract ended.
Fourth, the government for nearly
two years has been under Injunction,
granted by court at the coal opera
tors, request, forbidding the collection.
of the information as TO the cost OF
production, wages and so forth; that
any commission such as Is suggested
by President Harding, must have II IT
