and Seems Confident-That He Will
Come Out All Right in ths E d •
Word was received here yesterday
that Lester Echols who has been
charged with the murder of Marshall
Tidwell, of Seney, Ga., about six
weeks ago, had been captured.
Mrs. Echols, the mother of Lester
Echols, was in the city yesterday
morning early and engaged Hon.
Seaborn Wright and Col. Albert
Ewing as counsel, Colonel Ewing re
turning with Mrs. Echols-
For some days past the alert officers
of Polk county have had strong rea
sons to believe [they knew of Echols’
hiding place and this Echols had by
some means found out.
He had made up his mind to give
himself up and was on his way to the
home of Mr. Bob Brewer at Fish creek
when Mr. W. H. Kirkpatrick saw him
crossing a field and immediately gave
the alarm.
Mr. Bob Brewer and his uncle, Mr.
Joel Brewer, ordinary of Polk county,
took Echols yesterday to Seney where
they met Sheriff McConnell and turn,
ed Echols over,
The prisoner was accompanied to
Rome by his sister and a gentleman
friend. A Tribune reporter saw
Echols in the jail office just after his
arrival and plied several questions to
him, but he gave evasive answers only
admitting that the handsome young
lady who so affectionately threw, her
arms about his neck and kissed him,
was his sister and indeed there is a
striking resemblance.
Echols is not a bad looking young
man by any means. He had on a
soft felt hat, a nice looking suit, had
a ladies’ fob chain dangling outside
of the little match pocket of his coat.
He wore a gummed cloth overcoat
with cape and smoked a cigarette with
all the coolness of a man about town.
Col. Ewing took him to one side and
held a low conversation with him and
bade him good night. His sister kiss
ed him several times very affectionate
ly and with her friend got into their
buggy and drove off; all the while
they smiled and talked in a confiden
tial manner.
It is now said that Echols can prove
by witnesses that the shot that killed
Tidwell was fired from behind his
(Echols’) back, and it is not known
who did it because the whole crowd
were very much under the influence
of whiskey. The cell was made in
readiness and Echols blithely stepped
within and safely locked behind the
bars to await his trial and reflect upon
the trouble brought on him and his
family by whiskey.

A DANGEROUS JOURNEY.
Captain Adolph Freitsch Will Sail Around
the World In a Little Schooner.
Chicago, Nov. 6.—Captain Adolph
Freitsch sailed into port from Milwau
kee with the little schooner Schlitz
Globe on the first stage of a journey
which will extend around the world.
The schooner is only 15 tons’ measure
ment and 40 feet long, and Captain
Freitsch is the entire crew. She is
fitted out with everything necessary for
a trip around the world, and Captain
Freitsch will navigate her the entire
di tance alone. He is a stalwart sailor,
35 years of age, and does not seem at all
alarmed at the prospect of spending
months alone in his little craft on the
ocean.
The Schlitz Globe will be towed to
the canal and started on her long jour
ney. Her route will be down the Mis
sissippi to the Gulf of Mexico, and
jthence around Cape Horn. Sailing
alone across the ocean in a small boat is
not a new experience for Captain
Freitsch, he having sailed from Sandy
Hook to the Irish coast in 34 days and
three hours.
Poisoning C>m at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Nov. 6.—A mysterious
poisoning case was developed at the
home of Dr. J. S. White, in Capitol av

his wife and two children, there lived
two servants, one, Ma-y Hardin, having
a child 18 months old. Tuesday Mrs.
White received two cooked chickens
from Dr. White, who is at Finley, Ky.
One chicken was eaten Wednesday and
the other one Thursday. Friday morn
ing all of the members of the White
household were discovered in a helpless
condition and the Hardin baby had
died some time during the night. Mrs.
Hardin is very low and Mrs. White and
her two children were found to be dan
gerously ill. Mrs. White attributes the
poisoning to the chickens but says it
was accidental. The coroner is investi
gating the case.
