THE OLD SHEPAUG"
(The first train on the LItchficId BranchD

(The first train on the Litchfcld BranchD It was away back in 1872, When I was but l6 years old That the original train went through On the trial run, so I am told, It was just an engine and 6 tender. A fireman and an engineer Went by in all theiI Iplendor, It seemed so very queer. We lived upon hillside Above the crooked track. Where the engine lit our window About mile or so up back The original name was Whitebirch Plain, But later on twas Davis Hollow. The splendid birds all flew away, And few are left except the swallow But now they call 1t Romford, In honor of him who built the station Rome Ford was then his name And now we'll call it just the same. But later on, you see, The bus came speeding by. 1t seemed so very fine to me To see 1t almost fly. Of passengers it now carries none, Only carloads of freight, Travel up the old Shepaug. Whose crooked rails are not very straight But sometimes there really is An extra passenger car To take the fresh air kids Up into the Atchfleld hills afar.

had collected Z library Of books
and documents pertaining to the
Civil War period In Georgia
and the rest Of the South.
Old newspapers from At
lanta, Macon, Augusta and
Jonesboro, especially, were con-
suited. Diaries In the collection
of Miss Mitchell. actual material
used In writing the book, also
were available.
When the picture was in early
stages of preparation, Kurtz,
leading historian of Atlanta,
was named technical director.
Assisted by his wife, Mrs. Annie
Laurie Fuller Kurtx, and Miss
Susan Myrick, of the Macon
Telegraph, he hot only helped
William Cameron Menzies, pro-
duction designer, and Lyle
Wheeler, art director, plan the
street and buildings of the city,

decorator, Edward G. Boyle, re-
garding the objects displayed in
stores, and the various signs and
advertisements that gave the
city and its streets the character
of Atlanta in 1864.
Mrs. Kurtz and Miss Myrick
were consulted by Walter Plum
kett, costume designer, and by
Edward p. Lambert, head of
wardrobe, regarding the dress
of the period, particularly re-
garding what would be worn in
the blockaded State of Georgia,
after the attrition of war had
taken its toll.
To aid in designing the streets,
Kurtz had access to the public
records of the city. He made
copies of all maps, and enlarged
them to scale for the guidance
of Menzies and Wheeler. In the
records of the Atlanta Histori-
cal Society were found original
plans of many buildings.

Waldmans theory of possible
assassination was backed by the
Russians widow, Mrs. Tanya
Krivitsky, who said ut her New
York apartment that her hus-
band was warned q month ago
that q man was in this country
seeking to kill him.
Coroner Macdonald, however,
said the handwriting of three
notes found by the body-one
In Russian, another in English,
and q third in German--was re-
ported by police experts to be
identical with that of Krivitsky's
registration card at the hotel.

in the public interest, I have
asked the authorities not to
close the investigation.
Although the notes are in
