As soon as the news reached Nash ville, Tenn., President Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, wired relatives In Cartersville, and Mrs. Jones In Memphis, that he would send his special train to.Mem phis to bring the body to Cartersville.

They had known ruck other for a number of years, and when the evangelist visited Nashville he was always a guest of the railroad presi dent.

' MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY ARRIVE AT CARTERSVILLE. The members of the family In Car tersville are: Mrs. W. R. Turner, Sam P. Jones, Jr., wife and child, Robert Porter Jones, Mr. and Mrs. B. C Sloane and son, Sam Jones Sloane, Robert W. Jones and son. Ham Paul Jones. With the evangelist on the way home were: Mis. Sam P. Jones, Miss Julia Jones and Mrs. R. Pymn. The evangelist was on his way home from Oklahoma City to be present at a family reunion today, celebrating his fifty-ninth birthday, over 200 relatives were expected here to attend the re union and dinner, end preparations had been made on n large scale. Members of his family say that he always looked forward to these blrth- ty dinners and was always present. He was to have returned to Missis sippi Tuesday night, where he was to have begun a series of meetings In Holly Springe. er and the how being enwrapped In hiyatery almost thick enough to cut. I The detectives .were put on his'trall, but at the latest writing, nothing haa been seen.of him. While the clever young fakir did not look his part In person or In wearing apparel, he made up for this deficiency by ciever acting. The average man of this class, play ing a like or similar game, would nat urally have avoided as much as possl- ble the discussion of home topics. This one seemed to delight In telling of the adventures of his youth, and of speak ing of his father and his brother. His card, which wag printed, bore the name of "Klngdon Goulld," 2116 Fifth avenue. New York. He also reg. Istered at the Capital City Club Friday evening at "Klngdon Goulld." The "I" elso appeared In the name on hie bag gage. Although he was with friends at the Capital City Club .several times. It Is now remembered that he appeared un usually absent-minded and forgetful, when It came anywhere around hie time to treat. He dldn’t.buy a stogie or a ham sandwich, as far as Is known, the whol# time he was In Atlants. He had a weakness for champagne and club sandwiches—whenever the other feliotv produced the coin. The smell of gasoline was as the choicest perfume in his nose, and the nerve racking "honk! honk!" was as music to'hls'ears. The fortunate In dividuals who owned autos were not at all backward in .taking; "Klngdon Goulld" out for a spin. Wanted an Auto. In fact, he'selected for purchase.a very fine automobile at the Atlanta Automobile Company. Joe Brown Con- nally, who had been among the en tertainers of the young man, however, was a little dubious, anil he asked for a little of the "long green” in advance. An. aged white man, with gray hair and long grajc.whiskers, \vho gives hie age as 60 years, and his name as Ed- ,ward-R.-8herman, but who declines to give any further Information concern )ng himself, was caught Tuesday morn- Jng nt 2_'o’clock In the act of burglarlx- Ing the residence of Judge B. T. ’Dor sey,- 171 Capitol -avenue.' The aged.burglar was discovered>ln the house by- Attorney - Hugh Dorsey, son of Judge Dorsey, who wns awak ened by the noise of the marauder walking up the stairs. Mr. .Dorsey shot twice at the burglar In the hall way of the second-story, but nejther of the bullets,took effect. After, he had lied down the stairs, Sherman was captured by Judge Dor- eey, Hugh Dorsey and Dr. R. T. ’ Dor sey, another son,-Just as he was In the act of lefiplng through a window- When cornered, the aged man attempted to pull his pocket knife, and as he did so was struck and felled to the floor with a chair In the.hands of Hugh Dorsey. ' Sont to Tower by Recorder, - Bicycle Policemen Dunton and Galln- lier were passing the house on their bicycles In answer to a call, and heard the window glasa crash as Sherman was caught. The officers quickly dis mounted and ran to the house, taking the burglar Into custody and sending him to the police station. Hherman was arraigned before Re corder Broyles at the morning session of police court and was bound Over to the superior court In bond of >1,000, on the charge of burglary. As he rendered his derision, tho recorder re marked: "I think the penitentiary Is the best place for you." Sherman effected ontmneo Into the house through a front window. Be fore , nterlng, he removed his shoes and Klngdon said: "Of course." He went to the Fourth National bank, where he | left them on the ground under the wln- dot\. Although-.In his. sock feet, the burglar made sufficient noise In as cending' the stairs to awaken' Attorney Dorsey. ■ Realising that a burglar was In the house,. Mr. Dorsey seised his revolver and quickly turned on the electric lights. ; - ■ As he. stepped Into the hallway, Mr. Dorsey saw a man leap behind a book case and try to hide. ‘ The attorney levelled his pistol at , the form and fired. At this, the burglar ran. from behind the -book case anil the attorney fired the second shot. By this time Judge Dorsey nnd Dr.' Dorsey had reached the scene, and the three men advanced toward. the. Intruder. ^ “I'll Shoot," Cried Burglar. Backing Into a corner, Sherman pulled from' hts pocket-what’appeared to be a pistol, but whlqh was only a screw: driver, and commanded his pur suers to halt. - I'll shoot ■ if you copie toward * me,' he said. , This threat gave him opportunity to make another move, and he ran down the stairs. Attorney Dorsey tried to Shoot ngaln, but. his pistol failed to fire. Fearing the burglar would get away, Mr. Dorsey threw the pistol at him, striking him In the back; Judge Dorsey and his two sons then ran af ter the burglar and cornered him just ns lie was In the act of leaping through a front window. "Don't crowd me, or I'll hurt you," he exclaimed, nnd made an effort to get his knife. It was then that Attor ney Dorsey struck him with the chair. After entering the house, SKemian had closed the window. He explained this act by,saying he was itfrald If he left It open some of the Inmates might be awakened by the cold air blowing In. When taken to' the police station, tho aged burglar said he was only after money, and had no Intention of harm ing nnyone in the house. He had no pistol.
