When this telegram was handed to a

Much mystery surrounds the case.
After the young woman was revived,

sent.
Miss Dalton came to the hotel on

ATLANTA FIFTH CITY IN
HOMICIDES; GUN-TOTER
AND NEGROES BLAMED
Promiscuous pistol toting and the
extensive negro population are the two
greatest causes assigned by Recorder
Broyles and Police Chief Beavers for
the South leading the nation tn homi
cides. as shown in statistics compiled
by the census bureau.
These figures place Atlanta fifth in
the list of important American cities
in the record of bloodshed—figures
based on population. Memphis heads
the list with a percentage of 47.1. Then
comes Charleston, Savannah. New Or
leans and Atlanta, this city with a per
centage of 17.1. While the population,
of course, is much greater and the ac
tual number of homicides greater, both
New York and Chicago have a much
smaller average than Atlanta. Chicago
showing 8.4. and New York 5.1.
Milwaukee, the city in which Theo
dore Roosevelt was shot, has the best
record of any of the thirty big cities
shown, its percentage being only 1.7.
11 Slayers Now in Tower.
As a testimonial of Atlanta's record,
nine men are now confined in the Tow
er charged with murder. Three of this
number are under sentence of death—
Robert L. Clay, white, and Ben Green
and Oscar Dewberry, colored. Two
other prisoners from other counties,
charged with murder, also are held in
the Tower for safe keeping, making a
total of eleven.
“There are two great reasons why the
South leads in the record of homicides
—promiscuous pistol toting and our
large negro population," said Judge
Broyles. “The habit of pistol toting is
worse in the South than any other sec
tion of the country, and this naturally
breeds murder. And then we have so
many negroes in this section—a prob
lem with which the other sections of
the country are not confronted. The
low class of negroes carry pistols and
other deadly weapons, and don't hesi
tate to use them in drunken brawls and
rows. This, I believe, is really the
greatest cause that runs up the South’s
murder figures.”
Chief Beavers advanced the same
opinion as the recorder.
Figures Put Atlanta Fifth.
"It’s the pistol toter and the crimi
nal class of negroes that combine to
make such an unenviable record for the
South." said the chief.
