Ground Open* Under an At
lanta Woman and the Falls
Into Unknown Hole,
Atlanta Oa., January 7.—Mrs.
Bessie Brlaendlne, of 223 puckUe
street, on e of Atl&ata'o well-known
young matrons, went Into her back
yard yesterday morning to super
Intend, som*, swooping done by the
servants, when suddenly, standing
on the ground In the bright sun
shine, the apparently solid earth
gave way beneath her feet, and
she disappeared as if swallowed up
by magic. The servants who wit
nessed the scene wer e ao shocked
and horror-stricken that one of
them fainted.
Meanwhile Mrs. Brladine shot
straight downward Into Inky
blackness, the aky ,',wa« blotted
from her sight and down and down
she fell until, at last a slimy and
Invisible po l of watpr arose to
meet her .
Filled with horror sh© uttered a
fearful scream as *ho was falling,
and hac hnnh.mrt hearing It rushed
from_thoJpjmWHIs w!f e was no
where to be seenSfie heard a moan
and another cry as if it had come
from beneath his feet, and then,
right In the middle of the yard,,
wher e he had always Imagined the
oarth was solid straight through to
tho world’s center he saw a gaping
hoI e just big enough for a human
body to psbs through. Ho rushed
frantically to the edge, and the
mystery was -solved. Mrs. Brlsen-
dine had fallen Into an old, long-
forgotten well, whoso mouth had
beon boarded up and covered with*
earth mor e than a foot deep years
ago.
Mr. Brlaendlne, not waiting for
any outside aid, procured a rope
and descended Into the black hole,
v/hen fils' -ptfo
calling on hiq
ounly 1
and now]
da wife’s _
nnd
nehrly covered her whole body.
Then by the aid of the jagged
stones with which the aide of the
wall was bn’lt. ho worked his way
upward, and pulled hin wife after.
Nono of Mrs. Brl"endine’ s bones
nre broken, nor did she suffer any
Internal Injury, so far as can ho
learned, but she la In a nervous
nnd almost hysterical condition as
tho result of her terrlblo experi
ence. She fell exactly thirty feet,
hilt It seems to her, she declares,
as lr she had fallen thirty thou-
sand, so terrible were her sensa
tions ns slip plunged Into tho dark
ness. And though she remaln(\i In
the hole only a few minutes before
her husband called down to reas
sure her, she says It seemed as if
Bho lay thcro In the black slime for
hours and hours, with fear eating
Into her very heart that perhaps she
had fallen down so deep that fiq^
one would ever hear her cries and
that she would He there until she
perished.
Mrs. Brlsendlne and her husband
have entered -suit for 93.000 for
mental angnlah against George E.
Johnson, owner of the propertv
which they were renting, alleging
that he should have known of the
existence of surh a death-trap nnd
arnod his tenants.

Desperate Highwayman Who
Tried to Kill the Turnkey in
Atlanta’s Tower.
Atlanta, Ga., January 7.—A. B
Knox, the highwayman desperado
and Jail-breaker, -who tried
snider his turnkey, after he had
been re-captured and returned to
the Fulton county jail, now lies
In the twilight gloom of the cell
in which befor e no other man haa
•Ter been confined except under
condemnation to death, the awful,
silent little steel cage # which hat
a separate door leading from Its
.pack right to the steps of the gal
lows.
Knox was put there because he
waa too badly bruised and cut
about the head to be put d<^rn in
the dungeon and yet, wounded as
he was, was considered (too dan
gerous to be left any ordinary
cell.
The enormity of this attempted
crime of yesterday morning is
just beginning to dawn .on • the
Jail officials. During th e night he
wrenched loose a piece of iron
piping in his cell, and concealed it
about his clothes. Then, when Dep
uty Stanley entered his cell thiS
morning, he sprang upon the of
ficer like a madman and aimed a
blow at his head with tho iron
pipe that would hav e cushed his
skull like an egg shell if it had
landed. Stanley dodged’the blow,
nnd in almost tho * samo moment
dealt tho prisoner a stunning stroke
with his lead billle, felling Knox to
the ground. But before Stanley
could back out of the cell Knox
was on his knees and then on his
'{feet again, - swinging the pipe
md his hefd to make ready for
'At this
ed In W
•Bing
all His might on Knox’e head t there
by probably saving himself anj his
companion officer from being mur
dered. The second blow: rendered
Knox unconscious, but even when
he came too In his hospital ward,
he was so sullen and wicked In his
demeanor that four men were ready
to ftpring upon him if he showed
the slightest evidences of trying to
renew the struggle.
This time ho wasn’t trying to
escape. He was simply trying to kill
his captors.
