Nelms said Tuesday that her daugn ter also wired him. : The sale of the Gordon street prop erty by Eloise, according to Harling's records, was effected April 22. The property was placed ‘n his hands by Mre. Dennis late in February. Mr. Harling sa!d*he advertised the prop erty extensively for about 80 days and during that time had numerous prospective buvers bhut held out at Mrs. Dennis' price until the sale was made for a sum which was to her en tire satisfaction. Said She Was Golng to India. Mr. Harling sald Mrs Dennis told him she was very anxious to dispose of the property before June 1; that at that time she would leave Atlanta. She told him, he said. that she was l’olng to India, and wished to close up the deal before her departure. “My last transaction with Mrs Dennis {n connectto nwrth the male of her property,” said Hariing, “was on May 18, when she pald me §250 com mission for selling the lots. At that time J told her good-bye, and she again sald she was going to India” The property which was sold by I‘ll.:"lmglI for Mre.

Mrs. Dennls called Harling by telephons on an average of three times a week inquiring about the pos sible sale of the property, during the time it was listed with Harling’s real estate agency. She also wrote him letters giving him detailed informa tion about the property and suggest ing methods by which he migat hasten the sale. Gave Address With Sister. In her letters Mrs Dennis gave her address in care of her sister Beatrice, who had offices {n the Candler Build ing. She asked Harling to inform her by phone or in writing at that address as soon as he effected the sale. Attorney Arnold found it necessary to resort to a court order to obtain possession of the telegrams reported to have passed between Mrs. Dennls and Innes after City Detective W. F. Harper, working under direction of Mr. Arnold, had been informed by of ficlals of the Western Union that the rules of the company positively for bade the giving out of such informa tton to anyone. As these telegrams are regarded as of the utmost importance {in the hunt for clews, Mr. Arnold determined to appeal at once to the courts. He said Tuesday that he would confer with Attorney Albert Howell, counsel for the Western Union, with regard to the court action, and expressed him !sult as confident Mr. Howell would aid him in obtaining .the order. | Mr. Arnold expects these messages ' to throw a flood of light on the rela tions between Mrs. Dennis and the ; Portland lawyer, and he will examine them closely to determine whether ' their tane would furnish basis for any l kind of legal proceedings agalnst In fEm v & =~ Officlals of the telegraph company have expressed themselves as willing and ready to ald in the investigation the moment the prohibitory rules are overcome, and for this reason no fight on the court order ls anticipated. | Hunt Atlanta Man. A sensattonal turn was given to the 'nation-wide search for the mysta riously missing sisters Tuesday, when it became known that investigators jthmughou( the country, working un der instructions from Atlanta, have ’mx-mvnmrily halted their efforts seri ously to invelve Vietor E. Innes in the iafl'uir. and are bending their energies to investigating the disappearance of a well-known Atlanta man, who {s said to have left the city about the time the two women disappeared. Chief of Police James L. Beavers admitted early Tuesday that the in vestigation has taken thi{s turn, but | declined to divulge the name of the ' missing man, or reveal the source of !‘.;s information. It was stated posi ' tively, however, that the missing At lantan was a close personal friend of | Mrs. Deqinis, and Chief Beavers is in | vestigating their relations to deter | mine if the Atlantan had any hand in | the disappearance of Mrs. Dennis and | her sister. At Portland, Innes has suddenly becoma uncommunicative and abso t 'utely refuses to make any additional statements. In his last interview with The Georgian Monday night he de clared that he believes Mrs. Dennis is crazy “She was subject to fits of despond ency.” he said, "and repeatedly told me that she intended to commit sui cide.” : Not in San Francisco. | A dispatch from Sacramento con firms the statement made by Innes that he and his wife stayed over night ghere on July 3, and there i® no tramfblamable of them having gone Qisters meet P. A. Finelli, an Atlanta acquaintance, on a New Orleans street. He is the last Atlantan known to have seen them. to San Francisco, where the murder note, signed by Mrs. Dennls, was mailed. Innes refused to be specific when he was asked to give the dates and the names of the hotels at which he stopped during his trip through Texas, (eorgia and 7Tennessee. He said he trad already talked too much and would say no more. Detectives who are working on the case have begun to search for a mys terious “John 1. Bennett” whose name appears on a series of express money orders sent by Mrs. Dennis to Innes, following the denial of John Yis Bennett, formerly of Atlanta and now of Pittsburg, of any connection with the affair. Bennett said he did not know either Innes, Mrs Dennis or Miss Beatrice Nelms. The local po lce, it 1s understood, are trylng to 10~ cate a second John I. Bennett, who tormerly lived in Atlanta, and will question him about the signing of the money order receipts. Real Searcn in South. While police officials all over the country are trying to locate evidence connecting Innes or the missing At lanta man with the mystery, the ac tual search for the twa girls, or their bodles, has centered in New Orleans and Texas. Marshall Nelms, it is un derstood, gave the New QOrleans police a clew when he came through that city Monday night that will cause a search to be made of the bayous and creeks about that city, and police of ficials in halt a dozen Texas towns are searching every conceivable place for the women. At Corpus Christl, Texas, the po lice have under surveillance tweo young women who fit the descriptions of the missing girls, and have asked Chief Beavers for authority to hold them for investigation. Chief Bea vers replied that he could not give them authority, but that they had authority themselves to hold the women if they acted like suspicious characters. The women, according to dispatches from Corpus Christi, have been living at a quiet hotel and keeping under cover. Late Monday afternoon they oftcred a boatman $59 to take them to Aransas Pass, Texas, on condition that he sail with them immediately. The boatman refused, he claims, and the women returned to Corpus Christi. Got Much Mail in Box. According to an Atlanta attorney who acted in many instances for Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis in the adjust ment of some of her business aftairs, she had during the past fourteen months rented postoffice box No. 373. She is known to have gone there al most daily and received letters, said to have beem from the mysterious “Innes.” Sometimes the letters were addressed “E. D, P. O. Box 373, At lanta, Ga.” At other times her rull name was written on the envelope. According to the attorney, the let ters were in a man’s handwriting, and _were usually In a large business envelope. The poliece attach no particular significance te the finding in the Southern Express Co. office in San Antonio, Texas, of an unclaimed ex press package containing the skirt to a gray suit bought by Mrs. Dennis prior to her departure from Xftlanta, for the reason that Mrs. J. WW. Nelms made the mistake of expressing it in the name of “Margaret Nelms” when she had been instructed by Miss Bea trice, in a card from Montgomery, to send it to “Mrs. Margaret Mims” Wouldn't Have Received Package. The police are of the opinion that if the mysterious Mims woman had called for the package in the San An tonio office, she would nct have re ceived it because of the mix-up in names. For this reason, they suggest that it may have heen called for either by Mrs Dennis, Miss Beatrice or “Mra. Mims.” As \liss Beatrice was expecting it in the name of “Mar garet Mlms,” or “Mindes,” it is urged that neither of the principals prob SUMMER RESORTS. WHITE PATH HOTEL, WHITE PATH, GA.

This was re garded at first as one of the most im portant of clews, and, had the pack age been called for and taken away from the express office, it is belleved this would have blazed the way to a svlution of the great mystery. Now that the missing package has been found, it throws no light on the mys tery, it is believed, The suit, to which the skirt be longed, was bought by Mrs, Dennis in a downtown department store a few davs before she left for the West, but had to be left behind for alterations. Dishes Important Clew. The discovery of information that Mrs. Dennis early in this year had expressed all of her handsome and coetly wedding presents, which ghe recelved on her marriage to Walter Dennis, to Portland, presumably to Victor Innes, ag was published exclu glvely in The Georgian of Monday, iwas regarded by the police as one of ' the most important developments "(‘nnnectlng the Portland lawyer with the spectacular love venture of the young widow.

According to Infor mation obtained by City Detective Harper and members of the Nelms family, these presents, packed Into two boxes and a barrel, were sent away from the old Nelms home on Gordon street, West End, in an ex press wagon about January 6. The Nelms family had moved to Smyrna at the time, but the wedding presents “ad been left stored in the house by Mrs. Dennis in care of the family then occupying it.
