Le Gette said that he had not seen Mrs. de Bouchel for- more than a year, the last meeting being in New York, when Mrs. le Gette and he mether at a hotel prior to her departure for Paris. Ths first Information of the reported charge against her character, he said, came to him yesterday upon reading a local newspaper.

Le Gette said that he had not communicated with any one In Atlanta since reeding of the statements by Mrs. de Bouchel, but had immediately sought newspapers to say what he could to clear charges against Mrs. de Bouchel. He said ths charges were astounding to anyone who knew Mrs. de Bouchel and that he was prepared to go to Atlanta at any time to defend the honor of an insulted woman, such as becomes a southern gentleman."
