IN BIS SLEEP
Just Before Fire Guest
Took His
Stroll.
The statement that the figure of a
man. attired only In his night clothes,
waa aecn to emerge from a window on
the top floor of the Arlington Hotel,
grope Its way about tho coping, and
then re-enter the same window at the
time of the fire Friday morning at 1
o'clock has added a new feature to the
mystery of the Area In the hotel, which
have proven a puxxlc to the detectives.
That thla man, who la said to have
been Walter Campbell, and who waa
later rescued from hla room uncon
scious, did .this dangerous feat while
asleep la the general belief. After tak
ing this somnalent stroll on the cop
ing of the hotel, Campbell Is satd to
have calmly re-entered his room und Is
supposed to have again retired, being
found a short time later almost suffo
cated.
The strange, white figure on the cop
ing was seen by A. J. Northcutt. who
boards at the home of Mrs. E. H. Phil
ips, 11 Cone street. Mr. Northcutt was
looking out of his window toward the
hotel, which Is situated at Marietta and
Cone streets, at the time of the lire
and saw the man mme out on the cop
ing. >
Mr. Northcutt states that this man
was afterwards taken from his room
unconscious and sent to the hospital.
Detective Lockhart, who Is Investi
gating the supposed Incendiary fire, Is
still at work on the case. No clew has
been found, however, that would tend
to dissipate the mystery.

BROKEN BY VOLLEY
London, May 4.—The colonial pre
mlers were the guests of the admiralty
yesterday to see the Dreadnought.
The official program said of the mon
ster vessel:
She has satisfied her creators, and
fulfilled nil anticipations. When 80 per
cent of her guns were first fired to-
tether, with a total energy of 345,792
'not tons, some cups and saucers were
broken. All else withstood the Im
mense concussion, and the difficult
problem of preventing the blast of one
gon from Interfering with that of an
other was found to have been satis
factorily solved. She has completed a
voyage of 10,000 miles, and maintained
a speed of over 17 knots for 3.400 miles,
and could have done another thousand
at the same speed."

DATE FOR HANGING
NOT IN CALENDAR
One of the strongest coincidences
which ever sauntered Into tha life of
lawyer Is just at present confronting
Attorney Alex W. Stephens, who rep
resents Will Johnson, the negro who
Is sentenced to hang on-Frlday, May 24.
According to the calendar which
hangs In the office of Attorney Hte-
phene. In the Equitable building, Will
Johnson will never be executed, for
there Is-no May 24 on the sheet. In
the place where 24 should be there
stands out In glaring figures the num
ber 25; following It there are two
:«’s.
The freak of the printer, which Is a
very unusual one, especially In the
case of the large and handsome calen
dars sent out by the Central railroad,
ns discovered l>y Attorney Stephens
rlday while looking to see how much
more time he will have In which to
take the case before the pardon board.
If I was superstitious," said Mr.
Stephens, “I might let the matter rest,
believing that the omen la a good one
In evidence, as Abe Lincoln once In
troduced an almanac, and prove that
Johnson can not be legally executed
because tHere will be no 'May 24.' ”
Put not your faith In signs and
omens," liowever. Is a motto to which
Attorney Stephens religiously adheres,
and he and' hla associate, Walter Mc-
Elreath, are making all haste to get
Johnson’s rase before the pardon board
before the calendar by which the court
governed showa that May 24 haa ar
rived.
