NEA Service Staff Correspondent.
ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 14.-The
spirit of the ehevalier flourishes
in the heart of Asa Gambler. Those
near to him will tell you that is
why tragedy hroods over the clos.
ing years of ais life.
Seyenty-three years have passed
Gambler by. He has accumulated
millions upon millions in the man
ufactcre of Coca-Cola.
No man gains millions without
contact with the stern realities OF
life. Few 4uch men escape the
worlds synlcism, it's hard-boiled-
ness. Yet romance glows in the
twilight for him. Having lived his
three-score and ten he still believed
the Grand Passion possible.
But the glow in the twilight
seems to have been only a will-o'-
the-wisp. .y Hsn
Just scant week after the
coca-Cola king set in federal court
and heard his love letters to Mrs.
Onezima De Bouchel who was suing
him for 100000 damages for al
legged breach of promise, read to
an eager public, his bride of less
than a year was arrested by the
police of Atlanta.
She was found in company with
j. w. ("Bill') Stoddard, promin-
ont Atlanta man, and president of
the National Dry Cleaners Associa-
ton. and another man, in an apart
ment on the fashionable north side
residential district Of Atlanta. A
whisky bottle, nearly empty, WAS
found on the table beside them po-
lice declare.
we were only having little
party, what's wrong in that? And,
besides, there are other people be.
sides the Gamblers in Atlanta" Mrs.
Gambler is quoted as saying after
the, police broke in.
And now the wags of Atlanta are
whispering that the Mr.. Gambler
once more is going to be left alone
with his millions in his mansion III
the city's most exclusive residential
subdivision that he shortly will
begin divorce proceedings against
the pretty stenographer he married
last June.
Whether he intends to bring a
divorce suit against his wife, he will
not say.
Next month his eldest son. Walt
er Gambler, will defend a 100000
suit for damages brought against
him by Mrs. Clyde Byfieid, beauti-
ful young Atlanta woman, who al
leses he assaulted her while she
was a passenger on the S. S. Ber4
engaria bound for Europe.
