Weathers, a well-known At lanta realty operator, for the first time told his story to Reuben Arnold counsel for Mrs. John Nelms, going into detail about the various invest ments that Innes was supposed to make for Mrs. Denn's. He told of transactions Innes was supposed to have cosum mated for the woman in Montana and in Sonor.i, Mexico. In- vestigations has failed to reveal any record of these supposed investments and a close study will be made of Mt. .Vjeathers' revelations to deter: mine whether they justify charges of fraudelent use of the mails against Innes. Mr. Weathers stated that he had read probably 50 letters from Innes to Eloise. He believed that the At lanta woman had sent more than $10, 000 away for "investments." He said that he raised $600 for her on one oc casion and assisted in raising $1,200 for her on another. He was made a confident, he said, only because she was in such a desperate straits in her effort to rais the money demanded by Innes.
