Y., Dec. 18—Ches ter W. Yates, one of the most daring thieves in the country and the "brains” in the $87,000 Bancroft robbery that caused the downfall of Daniel O'Reilly, the lawyer, escaped early today from Sing Sing prison, where he was sent last August to serve a sentence of 21 years Warden John S. Kennedy and the keepers in the prison confessed that they had not the slightest idea how Yates escaped. The prisoners on their way to the shop walk across the big prison yard. When they reach the door they are counted. It was here Yates was missed. The prisoners were returned to their cells and the alarm whistle of the pris on, which can be heard two miles, was sounded. Within fifteen minutes of the discovery Warden Kennedy had dis patched several bands of guards to search for Yates in the surrounding country. The fog from the river was thick and a passing train also made everything favorable for the escape. Yates possesses a remarkable career for a criminal of only 29 years of age. After getting into trouble with several hotel robberies which he planned while working as a bellboy he contrived the Bancroft robbery. A Tip TO SMOKERS Give cigars!

DUBLIN, GA., Dec. 18.—Officers to day are endeavoring to solve the mys tery surrounding the killing of F. M Hightower, “3 years old, by Mrs. A. L. Lynn, 22 years of age, at the Lynn home, eight miles east of Dublin, late yesterday afternoon. There was no eye witness to the tragedy, save a two year-old child of the woman. Her hus band and other children were in a field some distance from the house picking cotton. Mrs. Lynn claims that she killed Hightower because he had insulted her. Hightower had borne an excel lent reputation and was well liked. Friends believe that Mrs. Lynn was frightened or became temporarily in sane and was not responsible when she fired the fatal shots. She is in a deli cate condition and will become a moth er within a few weeks. Woman Claims Insult. Hightower had gone to the Lynn farm on Lynn’s Invitation, to get a load of kindling. He carried a load of sup plies with him in return for the wood Mis. Lynn says Hightower walk-d into her room, took a seat in a rocking chair and then insulted her. She says she reached in a drawer for a pistol and shot him to death as lie sat in the chair. Hightower was shot in the stomach first, and it is thought he fell forward in the chair, receiving the other bul lets in the back of his head and body. The condition of the chair shows he was in the chair at the time he was shot. A neighbor. Tom Hart, states that three or four shots were fired In quick succession, and after a pause there w?re others. The body holds seven wounds, indicating the pistol was reloaded. Helped Rear His Slayer. Hightower was a brother-in-law of the late John ('olley. who reared Mrs. Lynn, after she was left an orphan. He had known Mrs. Lynn since childhood, and had assisted in caring for her be fore her marriage. It is alleged that hard feelings had arisen between Hightower and Lynn recently, because Lynn charged High tower with attempting to deprive Mrs. Lynn of a share in the Colley estate. Hightower’s funeral takes place to morrow morning*. Mrs. Lynn has not been arrested, be cause of her delicate physical condi tion. Hightower was the father of J. 11. f The gift I i | Wives A * Mothers i Sisters lIftIEWWIWa Sweethearts! |IH Here’s the gift that E S ||||l 111 \l ty&lfe ® W every man who KtSolll if/ Hw ? il I lOsOli C’ UH smokes a pipe or rolls K t his own cigarettes will Bq 111 111 be grateful for.
