spectacular flight from Justice Into
Mexico
A story was revealed whose every
nhaae possessed the strongest dra
matic interest. One arem* showed
the fugitive rotting in a Mexican Jail
in another he was impressed in the |
army of Orozco. Broken In body
and spirit, by privation and disease,
he sought asylum in the rendezvous
of brigands, eut-throat# and other
outlaws In the fastnesses of the Mex

A companion picture la that of the
relentless pursuit by one man w*ho !
accomplished single-handed more
than the United States Government
with the powerful machinery of its
diplomatic sysiem. That man . was
Tyre M. Hamilton, .of Hapeville.
Swore to Brirtg Him Baefc.
I swore thaly-J-’<V bring IJoi back
t6 Atlanta if I lived,” was hlfc simple
declaration aftei* he bad;returned.
But behind his quiet assertion was
the story of a two-year man hunt
which in persistency of purpose and
unalterable determination seldonf has
been equaled.
Hamilton was one of the heaviest
lasers when the crash came.
How much he lost he ha* refused
to say But It is known that practi-
■ ally all of his savings of years were
s'wept away. r Hta "plans- for a com
fortable old ^hatter-ocU His
purpose ain e Jirho 14, l9fl. lias
been to bring Smith back to stand
trial in the courts.
Hamilton was aided in his two-
war Chaae by the fact, that Smith
finally came to the realization that he
had the choice between two alterna
tives -death in the lair of a band of
fugitives like himaelf or surrender to
the authorities. The grim spec ter cam ■
nearer and nearer. When it appeared
that he could not Ikv*- imu h longer ne

’ Hamilton i* a quiet man. He says
little, but he has a determination that
) 8 unconquerable*. After the total
failure of the Government, owing
largely to the unsettled conditions in
Mexico, he gave up all hope of any
assistance from that source and starf-
ed out on a lone hunt.
Kept His Plant Secret.
He had been disappointed enough
by the inability to extradite Smith.
The fugitive was in prison in Oiilhiui
hua for aeven months, but the United
States Government whs unable to get
a requisition honored by the Mexican
Government, although repeated at
tempt* were made and Pinkerton de
tectives were constantly on the alert
for an opportunity to spirit him across
the border.
\ Hamilton confided his intention »•
no one. He kept his plans to himself.
Only those officials with whom it was
absolutely necessary for him to deal
possessed any hint that he was fol-
lpwiriV a trail into war-torn Mex! u
with the certainty of a bloodhound.
His task was made the easier in
that, his quarry, sickened and waste i
was anxious to get away from th»
brigands by whom he virtually was
held a captive for debt. But the end
would have been the same in ir.y
event Of this Hamilton is sure. The
espture might have taken a lift©
longer, but it would have come finally.
Only Seeks Justice, He Says.
Hamilton did not appear the im
placable. vip.dJctlV.t- person hik ac
tions might lndmale \vne‘n he w’as
seen Friday.
"We do not want to Ul-treat Smith
in any way." he said. ‘‘Myself and
tbe others who lost, however, believed
that he should be brought back. Then,
if he has been wrongly accused or if
h* has been made the ‘goat,’ that fact,
can be developed. As it was. he war
slowly dying of disease and poor
nutrition there in the camp of those
outlaws. Now, he can be cared for
and he will be given just the food
that will bring him back to health.

Wife a Pathetic
Figure in Tragedy
The heart-broken wife of Wy
lie Smith provides a moat pathetic
feature of this many-sided tragedy
of a human life gone Wrong. Un
able to live in the city where her
husband was accused of betraying
the trust of some of his best
friends, she went to San Antonio
to live with a cousin. Crushed by
sorrow, she was little seen in the
society of the lively Texas town.
When Smith tame across the
border into Kl 1’aso. he dispatched
her a wire saying that he. had sur
rendered and would pass through
San Antonio. He had not seen her
during the two year* ho had been
a fugitive and he wanted her to
meet him at the train for a few
words.
The train stopped at San An
tonio. but Mrs. Smith did not ap
pear. Instead came.the cousin to
say that she was prostrated with
grief and was so ill and hysterical
that the doctors feared for her life.
The capture of her husband had
been too great a shock to bear af
ter all her anxiety through the
months since the flight of Smith.

free for about two months after he
left Atlanta. Then he was thrown
into prison at Chihuahua, Mexico,
and kept there for seven months.
Requisition papers were sent there
and repeated efforts were made to
have him extradited to the United
States, but things were in such an
tmsettind condition down there that
nothing came of It.
“Pinkertons were there, hut they
might as well have been in China,
for it was impossible to g* t any ac
tion. Orozco felt, that ho had been
insulted by Uncle Bam and was none
too friendly, anyway.
“Smith later was taken to Juarez
by Orozco and kept under guard
there for a time, although not close

and impressed into Orozco's army, 1

Racked by raver.
"He was unable to stand the hard
ships and the climate and was at
tacked hr the fever For weeks and
months iie was racked by the dis
ease. He bad barely recovered and
was able t<> stagger about a little, when
he was taken with pneumonia."
It was at this time that Hamilton
believes that Smith fell in with the
outlaws in one of the almost inacces
sible little villages of Mexico. He
lay sick there most of last summer,
and in this way became heavily in
debted to the people there.
He shook off the dread pneumo
nia. but his body was wasted by the
sickness and the privations. Then
there was haunting him the constant
knowledge that he was a hunted man.
He was safe where he was. but ho
dare not venture forth if permitted,
and he was not permitted, for his
comrades were determined that he
should pay his indebtedness before
he left.
l^arge rewards hung over the heads
of some of the men with #vhom Smith
associated. Human blood was on
the hands of some, hut the reasons
they had come there were little dis
cussed. Others had got away with
laj'ge sums from banks, hut they had
picked a poor place for the spend
ing.
By a mysterious, round about way,
word came to Smith that one man
continued on his trail despite the re
ported failure of the Government to
effect his capture. In his weakened *
condition, the thought, preyed on his
mind incessantly.
Wrote to U. S. Consul.
He did not want to die there as a
member of the outlaw gang. Ho knew
that if h« left his capture would be
only a question of time
Driven desperate, lie finally wrote
Marion Letcher., the American Consul
£.1 Chihuahua. lie pleaded that his
debts be paid so that be might leave
the brigands. He said, with some
show of bravado, that it would be im
possible to take him if be didn't want
to come. A warrant never was hon
ored in his little village, he said, even
if it were signed by the President
himself. The inhabitants were a law
unto themselves.
The letter came to Consul I^etcher,
not directly, but through various in
termediaries. At tlie same time he
received a letter from Atlanta written
by Hamilton. The Consul merely for
warded Hamilton's letter to Smith.
Spilth made some poodilions on which
he would surrender him,Pelf and the
arrangements Anally were completed.
Hamilton was empowered as an
officer and left for El Paso. Before
he* departed he was careful to obtain
requisition papers upon the Governor
of Texas!. He was fearful that Smith,
might change his mind about coming
willingly.
Glad It’s All Over.
American Consul F.d wards o f
Jaurez. conducted Smith into El Paso,
where he wes met by Hamilton. There
was a brief Conversation and Smith
boarded the train with Hamilton. He
made no object Ion* w hatever and sub
mitted himself quietly to arrest in
Atlanta when he was met by the de
tectives.
’I'm glad it's all over with,’* said
Smith when once aboard the train.
I his was the extent of his comment
on the chase of two years and his suf
ferings while hiding from the au
thorities.
I wenty-three months have passed
| since J. Wylie Smith, dealer in fren-
I zied finance, abruptly let fall his me-
I teoric speculations and in a night
lied Atlanta.
And for 23 month' charges of for-
jgeries amounting to $150,000 have
hung over his head. Detectives traced
the fleeing speculator from point to
point throughout the United States
and at last down into the jungles and
mountains of .Mexico.
It was on the night of June 14. 1911
that the erstwhile head of the Com
mercial company locked his desk in a
I »r ■ ha^k office over a store at 29 1-2
| \\ hiteha’l Street and became com-
f i n to Atlanta. Not until the
i following morning did the fact of hi**

n*‘.\ and with each fresh arrival an-
Other chapter was written into the
stpr.v* of the failure. Before noon the
total of Smith's unpaid obligations

almost every profession and trade.
Smith had made a clean sweep and
excluded no one who desired to ben
Gilt by the rich harvest which it w-.k
understood he was reaping for those
who placed their money with him.
Among tnose who are reported «o
have lost in Smith’s operations were
such men as Frank M. Myers, Jr.,
presidpnt of the Commercial compa
ny; Judge Simmons. J. L Sims, of!
Hapeville; James Stallings. K. L.
Morris. Guy Thurman, l>r. D. E. Dew
berry, S. J. Collier, W. F. Brandt and
others The Individual amounts 4r*
said to have run from a few hundred ;
dollars up to as high as $29,000. One I
business Woman who had made a sue- j
eras in tbe eity deposited $1,500 with i
the operator, only to lose the entire j
amount;
Method of Operation Perilous.
Smith’s method of operation was a
perilous one, despite the fact that he
pursued it for several months before
it finally sent him from the city a
fugitive. He is said to have acted
a„ agent between persons whe wanted
to borrow and persons who wanted to
lend money at a profitable rate of in-
tero-'t He would go to a person
financially well fixed, it is alleged,
with the information that he had a
customer who desired to borrow a
large sum of money After declaring
that the investment would be per
fectly safe Smith would induce the
person to let him take the money, I
giving notes in return as security for j
the amount. These notes later would
prove worthless ,
Other notes given out by Hnnth '
proved to be forgeries. One qt them, I
for $4(jo. bore the signature of M. M. j
Anderson. Another note wac on B.v-
rum Hule. teller of the American
National Bank, for $370. which proved {
a forgery. There were many others.
It was on these forged not** that
charges were placed against the oper
ator. , . . . 1
Speculations in stock, in which
Smith is said to have engaged, are
given as tbe cause for his venturing
beyond the law’.
Most pathetic of all affected by
the departure of Smith wastthe oper
ator’s own wife ard adopted child.
In the Smith home at 249 Pulliam
Street, Mrs. Smith, herself an*invalid. I
became prostrated when she learned
of her husband’s disappearance. Do-
spite this, however, she remained ;
loyal to him.
Still Believed in Him.
‘‘No matter what they say about j
my husband,” she declared at the,
time. “I still believe in him. lie al-j
ways hae been so upright I can’t be- |
lieve that he baa done anything
wrong ”
As she uttered those words. Smith j
was fleeing from Atlanta, leaving in
his wake a sheaf of warrants suffi
cient, if upheld in a court of law, to
send him to prison for many years.
.Quickly by telegraph and telephone |
the entire country was notified of ttie
speculator's disappearance. In the
messages he was described as 50
years old 5 feet 9 Inches tall; j.blye
eyes, blonde hair, a thin .. face ’wilhi
hollow cheeks and weight close tc4 1&3
pounds.
Several arrests were made lit the'
case during the week that followed its
origin. Berry Smith, a step-brother
of the missing man, was taken Into
custody on suspicion of knowing
something of Smith’s whereabouts. •
but to no avail.
Smith had disappeared from id*n-j
tity and for several months his ob- ,
literation remained complete. Half
a year later he was located by the [
Pinkerton detectives who had been
put on the case. Smith was reported :
to he in Mexico. He had Joined the]
rebel forces and was fighting under
a foreign sun for a cause in which
he could not have felt an interest.
Captured by Enemy.
Just whether he Joined in this per
ilous undertaking to rid his mind of
the financial troubles with which it
must have been burdened of because ,
of the love of excitement which he
had exhibited so clearly in Atlanta is
a point tor conjecture. It is safe to j
say that Smith proved a brave and |
reckless soldier.
After a desperate battle near the
Mexican provincial capital of Chihua
hua, Smith was captured and thrown
into prison Ir that city. He was
tvdunded severely and the filth of the
Mexican jail soon brought disease I
into his body. Lack of medical at- |
tentlon caused tbe Roldier’s wound to ,
become affected, and even now. as he |
lies in the Tower, the wound is still 1
open and painful—a bitter reminder j
of his former days.
While in the Chihuahua prison.
Smith was located by the Pinkerton’
detectives who had been trailing him.
They immediately set abuu> getting
extradition papers to take the fugi- 1
tiye hack to justice, but the arm ot j
the law was foiled. Before extradi
tion e«Hiid be arranged between the
State Department at Washington and ,

captured Chihuahua and released,
Smith from the jail, on condition that
he Join the rebel army.
Smith agreed to this proposition,'
and, despite Ms weakened condition. 1
followed the Mexican flag again tor
the battlefield, leaving his pursuers j
behind him, baffled. However, Smith’s
strength was slowly ebbing from him.

At one time he was placed under

under the command of the Mexican
rebel general, Antonio Rojas, and a
warm personal friend of that official, j
It was in the Chihuahua prison i
where General Rojas was confined
with Smith that the friendship was
made fast. Upon his arrest In !

Rheumatism, and Serious Diseases
Follow.
There is no more effective renie-
pains in the region of'the kidneys,
nervousness, dizziness, tired and
worn-out feeling, weak Madder, or
urinary troubles, which are just as
dangerous, for the slightest kidney
derangement if neglected may devel

Dropsy or piabetes.
It is not only, dangerous, but need
less, for you tt> suffer, and endure
the tortures of these troubles, for
the new discovery, Uroxone, prompt
ly ends all such misery
There is no more effective reme
dy known for kidney, bladder trou
ble. and rheumatism than this new
scientific preparation, because it re
moves the cause. It soaks right
into the kidneys through the walls
and linings, cleans out the clogged
up pores, neutralizes and dissolves
the poisonous uric acid and waste
matter that lodge in the joints and
muscles and. cause those terrible
rheumatic j>ains, and makes the kid
neys filter the poison from the blood
and drives it out of the system.
Three doses of Croxone a dav for
a few days is often all that is* ever
needed to relieve the worst backache
or overcome disagreeable urinary
disorders, and you can take it with
the utmost confidence that nothing on
earth will so quickly reach the worst
case of kidney, bladder trouble, or
rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. It is so
prepared that it Is practically im
possible to take it into the human
system without results. An original
package costs but a trifle, and all
druggists are authorized to return
the purchase price if Croxone should
fail in a single case. 511
