FELL FROM TOP
OF THE EQUITABLE
TO MS. DEATH
Man Positively Iden
tified As Joe Dorsett,
a Tailor.
GIGANTIC SEA TURTLE I MUST ANSWER CHARGE
c) os c re OEM AN) EYES, OF FORMING COMBINE
TO RESTRAIN TRADE
The young man who either .accident,
ally tell or leaped from th* top floor
nf the Equitable building late. Tues
day afternoon, and was crushed
death on a one-story building below,
and whose Identity was enshrouded In
mystery, was positively Identified Wed
nesday morning as Joseph Lamont Dor-
sett, 10 years of age, a tailor, In the
employ of the Terminal Clothing Com
pany. No. 7 West Mitchell street.
The body was Identified by E. Super-
stein, proprietor of the Terminal Cloth
ing Company, who viewed It In the un
dertaking place of H. M. Patterson.
The body was also seen later by other
friends and acquaintances of the young
man.
Coroner Thompson, who Is Investi
gating the tragedy, will hold an in
quest Wednesday afternon at' 4:30
o'clock, at which time efTorts will be
made to solve the mystery as to the
exact manner In which Dorsett met his
death.
Myatery as to Cause.
Whether he deliberately plunged from
the eighth story of the Equitable,
whether he lost his balance and top
pled to; an accidental death, however,
will probably never be known. Friends
of the dead man advance the theory
that he was probably mentally unbal
anced at the time of the fatal fall. To
substantiate this theory, It Is asserted
that he has been known to act queerly
st tlmea
Sspersteln gives It' as his opinion
that Dorsett w'as addicted to some kind
of drug habit, and also states that the
young man drank at Intervals. He
says Dorsett left the tailor shop Tues
day afternoon at 3:10 o’clock, and that
at that time he appeared to be "off.”
It Is generally supposed that the
tailor wandered to the Equitable build
lng while In a state of. mental abbefa
tlon. He boarded an elevator car and
alighted at tho top floor. This was
about ( o'clock. Shortly afterwards his
desd body was discovered lying on the
roof of the one-story structure, ad
Joining the Equitable.
Dorsett was single and boarded at
the home of Mrs. K. P. Cantrell, No.
131 Garnett street. Mrs. Cantrell was
seen there Wednesday morning, short
ly after she had been Informed of the
death of Dorsett, and expressed the
opinion that the young man was unbal
anced mentally at the time of his death.
"Mr. Dorsett was a pleasant and gen
tlemanly young man and we all liked
him very much,” said Mrs. Cantrell. T
am satisfied, however, there was some,
thing wrong with his mind, as at times
he would seem to have flighty spells.
He also Impressed me as being of i
morose and despondent disposition, al
though he never mild he was ilcsiiond
ent. He ~ never' gave any latlmatioa
whatever that he contemplated suicide,
and I am convinced he did not Inten
tlonally take his own life. If he leaped
from the building the act was done In
an Insane moment.
Mind Not Right.
"Mr. Dorsett did a peculiar thing
about three weeks ago, which shows
his mind was not exactly right. He
was coming home from his work one
afternoon and was walking at a rapid
gait. When he reached the house. In
stead of coming In, he walked hurriedly
past. 1 attracted his attention by call
ing to him, and'he then turned and
came Into the house. 1 asked him what
he meant by going past, and he replied
‘Oh, I guess I am Just crasy.' ’’
J. E. Dorsett and J. J. Dorsett, of
No. 33 Walker street, are distant rel
atives of the dead man. He also has
an aunt In Campbell county, Mrs.
Pronto Campbell, and has two brothers
In Arkansas. Undertaker Patterson has
wired the relatives, notifying them of
the death and Inquiring as to what dls
position to make of the body.
Dorsett came to Atlanta about three
years ago from Indians. He had
worked In different tailor shops In the
dty and had been connected with the
Terminal shop for the past three
months.
Dorsett jCame From Rome.
Joe Dorsett' came to Atlanta from
Rome about two years ago. When
not In his cups Dorsett was a quiet,
genteel fellow, and industrious.
In Rome Dorsett was for a long
While night clerk In the Central hotel
(now the Choice House). Little was
known there of his family connection,
other than his own statement that his
people lived In Arkansas.
Occasionally Dorsett would go on a
terrific spree and do all sorts of queer
things. After he left the hotel he en
gaged In the tailoring business with
another .young Roman, and they seem
ed prosperous. Dorsett was a tailor
by trade, and said to be a good one.
KIs dissipated habits, however, soon
caused a break In the Rome' Arm, and
Dorsett came to Atlanta. He had been
here only a short time until he engaged
in an escapade that got him a thirty-
day sentence In the stockade.
Played Havoc on an Engine.
One evening while on one of his
periodic sprees he mounted a West
ern and Atlantic engine standing near
the old depot. He amused htragelf by
running the engine up and down the
tracks for a while and spread con
sternation In the vicinity.
He was arrested and when arraigned
in police court and heavily fined, had
no money to pay It. He went to the
stockade, but friends paid hla fine after
he had been there only a few days.

If some enterprising citizen would
establish a turtle farm In Atlanta and
raise eggs for the export' trade
would put the cold-storage houses out
of business and cause the harmless
necessary hen to steal a nest and
never come home. The turtle does
things on a big scale, on a wholesale
plan. That was proven at the Aragon
hotel Tuesday, when' the monster tur
tle that had furnished amusement for
guests and bell hops- for- three days
was butchered to make a Georgian hol
iday.
It Is a. good average hen, a self-
respecting, Industrious hen with her
owner's Interests at heart, that Jays
one egg a day. Nobody would ask
more of even a Cochin-China with a
pedigree. But this particular , turtlo
decapitated at the Aragon Monday was
evidently preparing to open an egg
store.
“We found. Just one .hundred big,
eggs like these Jn Miss Turtle when
sho .was.kllled,” said Lee Barnes, “and
at least five hundred little fellows the
size of hall-stones."- • . ., , ,
Mr. Barnes had a big basket filled'
with the.eggs. They were round and
covered ;wlth a parchment-like skin
Instead of the-brittle shell of the gar
den variety' of egg. He bounced on<
up and down on the desk.
‘Tm afraid I've made a mistake.'
said'Mr. Barnes, “some agio Just told
me that-turtle eggs are worth a dollar
a dozen. Now, If we found eight dozen'
grown eggs today and all thoza little
ones growing, why, I believe I've killed
the turtle that lays the golden eggs.
But any way, we'll, have turtle soup.”
His turtleshlp arrived last Saturday
from Cumberland Island. Forrest Adslr
found him on the beach and with the
aid of a derrick and a stout man or
two put him on the train and shipped
him to Mr. Barnes. After his return to
the city Mr. Adair woe persuaded to
be photographed while mounted on the
turtle. Those who know Mr. Adair
may see how big the monster was be
fore he was converted Into gumbo.
According to the men at the Aragon,
the big sea’monster weighed over Itlb-
