Yeast King S Spouse
Not to Wed O'Brien,
Attorney Declares

NEW YORK, July 15.-Denial
that Mrs. julius Fleischmann, di-
vorced recently in Paris from the
yeast manufacturer, contemplates
marrying Jay O'Brien, polo player,
is made in a statement issued by
Dudley Field Malone counsel for Mr..
Fleischmann
The statement says: Mr.. and Mrs
Freischmann have for a long time
had a domicile in France, which
domicile was recognized under the
French law as valid and complete.
The ground for the divorce was in
compatibility and no scandalous al
legations of any kind whatsoever
were discussed or made between Mr..
and Mrs. Fleischmann. as all finan.
cial matters had been settled long
before these proceedings were
thought of. Any statement that any
third person was the direct or in,
direct cause of the situation which
resulted in these proceedings is I'M
true.
Valid divorces in France are not
now and never have been easy to OBJ
tain except upon clearly established
domicile. Therefore any suggestion
with it anything sensational or hur-
ried is on its face untrue. Since
Mrs. Fleischmann is in Europe with
her children, | feel it my duty to
say that Mr.. and Mrs Fleischmann
have been actually separated for
over a year, that they parted from
each other with the friendliest feel.

MYSTERY E:NSHRQUDS
DEATH Of YOUTH
WEAR CARTERSY|LLE:

CARTERSNILLE, Ga, July 10
Although Sheriff Gaddis and his
deputies have Bonded every effort
to solve the mystery surrounding
the death Of Fred Bohannon, young
white man sixteen years of age,
whose body was found in field
near Gainesville, absolutely no clue
IS yet available.
Horace Bruce, eighteen years old,
and companion of Bohannon on the
ride that ended in the latter's death,
is held in jail on orders of the cor
oner's Jury. He has maintained,
since his arrest, that he left Bohan-
non near where his body was found,
alive and in high spirits. Officers
have not been able to shake his
story, and Bruce will be admitted to
bail if he can make bond in the sum
Of 81 coo.
Bruce and Bohannon left Carriers
Vile, going toward Rome. Eight
miles out, their car overturned.
Neither was hurt, Bruce says, and
thew STAYED in the woods all night.
Next morning, after trying to right
the car, and failing to do so, the
boys agreed they should return to
Gainesville. Bruce planned to re-
turn by swinging d freight train,
!uI Bohannon told him he could not
do that, and would await passing
car to bring him to town. Bruce
claims he left Bohannon with this
understanding. Twelve hours later,
the body was found in the field, ottl-
GERS notified, and a coroner's jury
empanelled Bruce, sworn as a
witness, told the story as set out
above, and nothing has yet deVel-
oped to disproVe it.
Whether or not Bohannon was
murdered, drank poison whisky or
d!eG from injuries received in the
wreck of the overturned outomo-
bile, are conjectures still being con-
s.dcred nv Barlow county CtflcefS.
