Were to Meet in Houston.
It was at Houston that Eloise, the
older daughter, said she was going
to meet Ennis and there get from him
receipts for $9,000 or $lO,OOO in money
ghe had given him for investments in
Mexico, Beatrice, who accompanied
her, was to bring the receipts back to
Atlanta, and Eloise was to marry En
nis, according to Mrs. Nelmas,
Did the two girls ever meet Ennig?
{s the question that the detectives
and secret service men on the case
are asking. If they did, he can tell
gomething of their movements and
plans, and perhaps give an explanp
tion of the strange ‘‘death notes”
written bg Elolse, who said that she
had put Beatrice away in New Or
leans, and was on her way to Ban
Francisco, where she ropoud to
#lay her brother, Marshall Nelms, and
‘then drown herself in the bay.
. The information that a man by the
name of Ennis actually had regls
tered in Houston on dates which cor
responded very closely with the dates
that the Nelms sisters were to be
there furnished the first ray of light
in a most baffliing mystery, The man
registered as W, A, Finnis, of Carson
City. When he checked out, on June
80, he left no forwarding address.
The hote] attaches did npt know tyhe
man's business and pald no especlal
attention to his movements.
Mother Opposed Match,
BEnnlg, to whom Eloise was afi
anced, i# said to have been a deputy
United States district attorney ap
pointed in the Taft administration.
He had offices in Carson City,
Along with this report, which is
regarded as highly important and
which 18 receiving a thorough inves
tigation, came the information that
Mrs, Nelms had hotly,oppond the
engagement of Kloise to’ the ex-Gov
ernment attorney, and had cut her
off iln a will made two months ago
because of her divorced daughter's
insistence in continuing the on{nre
ment with the intention of marrying
Ennis this summer, i
In order to get track of ¥nnis and
a woman known a® his aunt, the po
lice Friday were tracing a package
which Mrs, Nelms, at the r;?uut of
Beatrice, had shipped to argaret
Mims, by which name the aunt was
known. The package went by Bouth.
ern Express and was ordered by
Beatrice after she had been absent
frogn Atlanta less than a day.
Margaret Mims, or Miner, it was
learned by the police, came to Atlan
ta at about the time of the Bhriners’
convention. She registered at the
Pledmont Hotel and is said to have
been given the $9,000 for investment
to transfer it to Ennis.
Ennis, according to & {utmom of
Mrs. Nelms, came te Atlanta about
June 1 and saw Eloise. It was at
this time that Mrs, Nelms¢' objections
to the marriage are_ sald to have
reached thelr height, Her daughter
persisted and sald that she net only
was going to marry htm, but that she
intended to do 1t this summer.
The investigation of the police ®so
far has developed that Eloise left At
lanta June 10 and that Beatrice left
two days later to bring back the re
ceipts for her sister's investment.
Beatrice wrote on June 12 for Lhe
package containing some garment to
be sent to Miss Margaret Mims, or
Miner. The letter was maliled at
Montgomery, |
The package was expressed June
15, A telegram was received, :}nedw
by the girls. This came from Hous
ton and were dated June 21. An
other one came June 28 from New
Orleans, Nothing else was heard un.
til the mysterious letter from San
Francisco.
Mother Told of Ennls,
The information that Mrs, Eloise
Nelms Dennis left here to go to
Houston, Texas, to meet Ennis, a
former Deputy United States District
Attorney at Carson City, Nev, was
developed in a statement to The
Georgian by the )’ounf woman's
mother, Mrs, John W, Nelms, and In
the latter's interview with Lewis J,
Baley, special agent of the Govern
ment, with whom she conferred when
she asked a Federal probe of the
mystery.
Mrs. Nelms' story of the disappear
ance ‘'of Mrs. Dennis and Miss Bea
trice Nelmes served to increase inter
est in the report, as published In
The Georglan Thursday, that Mrs,
Dennis went West with the probable
intention of marrying again. She is
sald to have mentioned frequently
the name of Victor Ennis and seemed
fond of him, and her mother under-

stood he was the man she intenddd
to wed. |
The whole family, it is said, un
derstooa sne was hopeful of the re
ported Western match, |
According to Mrs. Nelms, Mrs,
Dennis met Ennis while she was liv
ing in Reno two years ago for the
purpose of obtaining her divorce from
her former hunbu‘n({, Walter Dennis.
then '.i; Atlanta, but now of New
York. The young woman, Mrs. Nelms
told The Georgian, manifesting great
confidence in Ennis, let him have
$9,000 of her money to invest In
Mexican lands without obtaining
from him any showing of any kind
for the money. When she left her
Smyrna home on June 10 she in
formed Mrs. Nelms she was to meet
Ennis in Houston and obtain papers
securing her $9,000 investment.
She also told her mother she in
tended to take up her residence in
the West and would not return to
Atlanta. It was this statement that
strengthened the theory of the family
that it was her purpose to wed. It
was also for this same reason, ac
cording to Mrs. Nelms, that Miss
Beatrice left two days later to join
‘her sister in New Orleans. She was
to accompany Mrs. Dennis to Hous
‘ton and bring the legal receipts and
‘papers back to Atlanta and deposit
;them in a bank for Mrs, Dennis.
| Mother Distracted,
The mother was almost distracted
Friday over the continued failure of
the army of police and detectlves en
gaged in the nation-wide hunt to find
any trace of the missing sisters, As
she talked to The Georgian, tears
streamed from her eyes and her
frame frequently shook with sobs.
“Oh, 1 don't know what to do—this
suspense is awful and it almost
drives me crazy,” she cried. "
would be such a relief if I could just
get some word as to the fate of my
daughters. I can't understand it—it's
all like some horrible dream from
which I can't awake. I'm at a loss
which way to turn. It would be ter
rible to know that it's all true, but
all’ of this mystery and suspense is
worse.”
As to the departure of her daugh
ters, she said:
“Floise left home, I think, on June
10, telling me she was going to
Houston, Texas, to meet this man
Victor Ennis, to whom she had given
$9,000 to invest for her in Mexican
property and for which she had nev
er received any showing of any kind.
Ne Receipts for $9,000.
“She met this man when she went
out to Reno two years ago to obtain a
divorce from her husband, Walter
Dennis. She evidently had the n'
most confidence In Ennis, for she
turned the $9,000 over to him without
even s 0 much As & receipt to protect
her, She told me she intended to
make her home in the West and that
she would not come back here.
“This was the reason she asked
Beatrice to go with her to Houston,
so she could bring the papers of se
curity, which she was to get from
Ennis, back to Atlanta and place
them in the bank. Beatrice was not
ready to leave when Eloise wanted to
start, and didn't get away until two,
days later. 'Eloise told -Beatrice to!
T ALLANIA ULNUIWTIAN ANLD DLW .
meet her in New Orleans and “that
they would go together from there to
Houston, eatrice, when she bade
me good-bye, assured me she would
be back home in a week. When the
first week passed and Beatrice falled
to come back, I just thought she and
Floise were delayed in their business
matters and I didn't worry much, But
when day after day passed 1 was
selzed with a terrible feeling that
something must be wrong. I just
couldn’t get &w? from the dread that
gomething had happened.
* Stunned by Letter.
“When I received that awful letter
and. saw that it was addressed In
Eloise's handwriting, I felt that it
contained bad news. When I read it
I was simply stunned. It seemed that
‘everything just went around in a
\whirl. I read it O\Ser and over again
‘before I could finally comprehend the
awful words,
“If it is true, I can’t concelve why
Hloise should have done such a deed
unless she was insane from gsome
cause. Such an actas that could only
be commited by an insane person. 1t
it's not true, it's ali beyond my un
derstanding.”
Mrs. Nelms added that she would
leave nothing undone to find the truth
‘and clear the mystery. She is anx
{ously awalting the arrival of her son
from San Francisco, so as to obtain
his advice, Young Neims probably
will not arrive in Atlanta before the
first or middle of next week.

Police Working on
These 4 Theories
These are the possibilities in the Nelms mystery that the
police were investigating Friday : .
l That the ‘‘death note’’ of Eloise to her mother was
-genuine and that the young woman, temporarily
deranged from family or finaneial troubles, actually put
her sister to death and hid the body in New Orleans,
leaving then for Houston and San Francisco.
2 That Eloise and Beatrice were the victims of thugs
who waylaid them for the large amount of money
they had with them, they having obtained a New York
draft for $1,450 by drawing on their account in the
Bank of Smyrna, Ga.
3 That the girls are being held as prisoners in one
of the cities they visited on their combined pleas
ure and business trip.
4 That they have been made way with as a result of
investments into which one or both were led by
unserupulous persons, presumably a woman and some
one posing as Victor E. Innes. e
over on business untfl Monday of the
following week I urged the two sis
ters to stay over in New Orleans for
Sunday, promising to show them the
eity. Mrs., Dennis was insistent,
however, that she must get out of the
city for Warm Springs, as, she sald,
ghe needed a rest., I purchased for
her the ticket to Warm Springs, also
her Pullman passage and the ticket
and Pullman guau'e for her 'gister
to Houston, where she said that she
was to visit with friends.
“The relations of the two sisters
were extremely cordial. Both were
rational, and both were In excellent
spirits, If they are dead, I believe
that they are go at the hands of some
one other than elther of the sisters,
“They did not discuss their plans
in my presence and I am unable to
say what they did while in New Or
leans. No one called on them at the
hotel nor did they speak to anyone
around the hotel at New Orleans
while I saw them there.
“The whole thing is a baffling mys
tery to me.”
Beatrice Nelms a
Shrewd Realty Dealer.
For several years Miss Beatrice
Nelms taught school; but at the death
of her father decided to enter the
real estate and building business with
her part of the Nelmg estate as the
basis of her operations, She was
characterized Friday by persons who
had dealt with her extensively as one
of the shrewdest traders in the city,
and the Impression seemed to be that
her affairs were in good shape; that
she had an annual income of $5,000 or
‘more ard was worth at least $25,000.
~ During January, when the realty
‘market was still quiet, she is said to
‘have made $BOO or $9OO in commis
‘sions from the sale of property owned
by others. ;
Her office was with the Bujlders

a few weeks ago led her to move next
‘door to the offices of the Dowman-
Dozier Manufacturing Company,
~ Although young in years and the
profession, Miss Nelms displayed a
shrewdness that was a marvel to ¢ld
er heads in the game. On many a
trade she recelved the advantage and
close traders alone could deal with
‘her and break even. Among her -re
cent operations were the purchase of
No. 190 Gordon street, West End, at
a figure around $25,000, and the sale
of an apartment house on Lee street,
West End, for about $B,OOO. i
Miss Nelms dealt only in residence
property, as a rule, and her opera
tions were mostly in West £nd, In
man Park, College Park and similar
home-building communities. At the
time of her disappearance she had
just completed bungalows on Cascade
place, South Gqrdon street, in West
End Park, and on Clifton avenue near
Inman Park and Kirkwood. Like
most builders, she put mortgages to
the limit on her houses and let pur
chasers assume the obligations. On
a $4,000 bungalow sold by a leading
building agency she had a mortgage
of $2,000.
The old Nelms home place at No.
