little change from the

The seriousness Of the ex.Presi

tested by the fact that members OF
his immediate family were notified
this morning Of his condition by
Mrs. Wilson. This was done al
admiral Gfaysen's suggestion.
News of the ex-Presldent's grave
condition went rapidly around the
Capital, ard President Coolidge sent

GAMBLER SAYS
BEAUTY WAS
MARRIED
Attorneys Base Defense on
Claim Engagement Was
illegal.
BY B. v. STURDIVANT.
International News Service.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 1.-After
reading two score love letters,
which added a colorful tinge of
romance to the hearing, defense
attorneys in the DeBouchelle-
Gambler heart balm suit today
launched their offensive to prove
that Mrs. Onezima DeBouchelle,
noted Southern beauty, was legally
married at the time she accepted
the hand Of Asa G. Gambler, aged
multi-millionaire and Coca Cola
king.
She is suing the capitalist for
$6O0,0OO, charging breach of
promise.
Engagement Not Binding.
They announced their intention OF
proving that she was the wife OH
Adolph RocQuet, Of New Orleans,
and therefore the engagement with
Gambler was not binding. It will
be shown, they said, that fraud
was employed in the securing OF
her divorce in Nevada, and that 1t
was illegal.
There has been no denial that
what was considered an engage
ment existed in the Autumn Of
1922. NO attack was made on the
authenticity Of the fervid love
letters penned by Gambler. The
replies Of Mrs. De Bouchelle like.
wise brought little comment from
attorneys.
Other letters were to be read to.
day. The packed court room Of
Atlanta's elite awaited with pleas
ure their presentation.
Romance Is Followed.
The romance already has been
traced from its beginning until the
abrupt termination. The first let
ters were read and then the last.
Gambler met Mrs. DeBOuchelle in
Atlanta in 1922. She was attending
the Confederate reunion in the role
Of sponsor. general. A warm friend
ship followed, according to testi-
mony, which led to regular cor
respondence and the engagement.
The wedding date was set and
friends were invited. The minister
had been employed and the honey
moon itinerary had been selected.
All was ready, according to Mrs.
DeBouchelle, when five days before
the date for the ceremony she re-
ceived q letter from her aged lover
saying the match was impossible.
His letters spoke of scandal
which cast q reflection upon her
character. He wrote that close
friends had told him Of visits two
men had made to her room at her
own solicitation. In view Of these
facts, he said, 1t would be unfair
to either party II the wedding were
cOnsummated.
She Denied Charges.
Mrs. De Bouchelle replied immedi.
ately, pleading that he not desert a
"detenseless woman" that he use
his influence where he was "all
powerful" and not permit her name
to be ruined. She asked for names
Of the men who made the charges
against her and denied them with
out reservation.
When Gambler refused to do this
she sought aid Of her attorneys,
but they likewise failed to. learn
the origin Of the scandal. Mrs.
De Bouchelle then wrote Gambler
and branded 1t a huge conspiracy
imposing upon nobody but himself.
She charged, that the story was
originated by some who were paid
to do it," She threatened to come
to Atlanta and force him personally
to reveal their identity. She came,
but failed to learn anything, accord
ing to her story.
Gambler said it came from q
source which he considered sacred
and that, unless compelled to do 20.

OF course, there was no way for the
RAggedys to know that the Magician
had been captured blythe fierce Brig
ends and that they thought he had hid
den the treasure in the dark closet.
The Raggedys and the Captain did not
know that the footsteps they heard
coming were the footsteps of the fierce
Brigands, so, when a key ratified in
the door, Raggedy Ann whispered to
Raggedy Andy and the little fat Cap
tain! Get ready to jump out and
run! Maybe it is the Magician and
we will be able to escape from him ="
So when the door was flung open
and the leader of the fierce Brigands
and all his followers had crowded
around to see the treasure. the Rag

their heads down and dashed out of the
dark closet lickety split!
Coming from the dark closet in such
