IS UNSOLVED BE
DEMISES
Can Not Account for Freedom
of Convicted Robber on Bond
Considered Worthless.
j, ii county officials, including the

Mai.g-iin and attaches of the superior

much at least seems to be certain.
I.„ ,■< tor Wren appeared in the clerk's

.47--i so Frank Myers, deputy superior
clerk, stoutly maintains. At any

. S mo ment from Tax Collector Stewart
tin: th'’ bondsman, J. Mangum, had at
tachable real estate valued at $13,000.
', tli the.clerk's approval Sheriff Mangum
gav- Wren his liberty. Attaches of the
Sheriff's office said today Arnold Broyles,
clerk, had instructed them to turn
prisoner when any of his authorized
<le] ties approved a bond.
Information was handed around the
rouE-t house today that the real estate
bai l of Wren's bond is so cumbered that
the county could not recover the amount
( ,f the bond if Wren disappeared.
Didn’t Know He Was Free.
s ,'c.tor Dorsey admitted that he did
..... know that Wren was out of jail until
sod of the fact yesteday. It was
said that certain detective agencies,
tta nave aided in Wren’s conviction, were
~ ■1 ■ jail the man to get the reward.
Tlie.-e detectives, it Is said, ferreted out
t . alleged irregularity in the bond.
1. ,| ZI Edwards is in Cedartown today,
but ’ Id not be located. The solution of
the tiiuation rests wish him. If he
authorized Wren’s bond pending his mo
tion for a new trial, the matter Is settled,
except that the county can cause Wren’s
rearrest, if the bond proves to be worth
less In case of an Irregularity some 0f
...... at the court, house Is responsible for
the prisoner.
Wren was convicted only of a misde
mean' r and sentenced to twelve months.
The maximum tine for the offense is SI,OOO
and his appearance bond was only $2,500.
If the bond is good and properly author
ized the county is protected.

Seven “don’ts” for the children of
Atlanta will be posted in every school
room in the city if the recommendation
of the public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is heeded by the

Chairman W. J. Lowenstein and the
other members ,of the committee to
safeguard the children as they ride over

committee believes the posters will
avert many accidents. Following are
the "don’ts:”

Don’t stand on car steps.
Don’t touch a wire; it may be a live
one.
Don’t put your hands or arm- out of a
car window.
Don’t get off facing the rear of the

AAixz atLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.-FRTDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912
Dr. Wiley’s Heir Watched
Carefully by Illustrious
Father and Nurses.
Washington, which, during the con
gressional season, resounds with the
prattle and laughter of the children of
the thousands of men in public life who
make the capital city their rendezvous,
will greet two newcomers this season,
namely, Millicent, the granddaughter of
Henry K. Chang, the Chinese minister,
and Harvey Wiley, Jr., the slx-months
old son of Dr. Harvey Wiley, who, it has
been reported, will be tendered a post
of high rank under the new adminis
tration.
Mllllcent is about three years old and
an exceptionally bright, little girl. She I
is mastering a number of English syl
lables. She is quite a favorite among
the diplomats attached to the legation
and the idol of her grandfather, the
minister.
This is Millicent’s first year in Wash
ington. •
The baby son of Dr. Wiley is quite as
prominent as his famous father. The
Wiley home at Washington has been
turned into a great nursery and a care
ful watch is maintained, not only by
his nurses, but by his father as well, on
the diet of the young one.
