iThe veil of mystery was lifted by

president two years ago, and lHs
spectacular flight from Justice ititd^
Mexico
A story was revealed whose every
phase possessed the strongest dra
matic Interest. One scene showed
the fugitive rotting In a Mexican Jail,
lft another he was impressed in th<
army of Orozco. Brokan in body
and spirit, by privation and dipeaae,
hh sought asylum in the rtndesvOuv
of brigands, cut-throats ami other
outlaws in the fastnesses of the Mex
ican mountains. Then with the shad
ow of death hovering over him came
his surrender

relentless pursuit by one man who

Rut behind his quiet assartioji was
the story of a two-year man hum
which In persistency of purpose and

How much he lost, he has refused

Hamilton is a quiet man. He says
little, but he has a determination that
is unconquerable. After tfie total
failure of the Government, owing
largely to the unsettled conditions in
Mexico, he gave up ail hop*, .of any

He had been disappointed enough
by the inability to extradite Smith.

Government, although repealed :ii-
ttmpta were made and Pinkerton do
r-actives were constantly on the alert
for an opportunity to spirit him across
the border.
I Hamilton confided his intention ’
nc* 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
lowing a trail into war-torn Mexico
with the certainty of a bloodhound.
His task was made the easier in
that his quarry, 'sickened and wastoa
was anxious to get away from the
brigands by whom he virtually
held a captive for debt. But the e»v«i
v$ould have been the same in anv J
event. Of this Hamilton is sure. Thj
capture might have taken a lit’ie
longer, but it would have come finally.
Only Seeks Justice, He Says,
Hamilton did not appear the
placable, vindictive jpe^son his ac-,
tlons might indicate \4hen he was
seen Friday.
"We do not want to ill-treat Smith
in any way.” he said. “Myself and
the others who lost, however, believed
that he should be brought back. Then,
if he haa been w rongly accused or if
he has been made the ‘goat.’ that fact
can be developed. As it was. he whs
slowly dying of disease and poor
nutrition there in the camp of those
outlaws. Now. he can be cared for
and lie wjll be given just the food
that will bring him back to health.

Wife a Pathetic
Figure in Tragedy
The heart-broken wife of Wy-
ll» smith provided a most pathetic
feature of this many-sided tragedy
of a human life gone wrong. Un
able to live In l he City where her
husband was accused of betraying
the trust of some of his best
friends, she went lo Han Antonio
to live with a cousin. Crushed by
sorrow, she was little seen in the
society of the lively Texas town
When Smith came across the
border Into K1 Paso, he dispatched
her a wire saying that he had sur
rendered and would pass through
San Antonio He had not seen her
during lhe two years he 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. hut Mrs Smith did not ap
pear. Instead came the cousin lo
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 (light of Smith.

Requisition papers were srnt there
and repeated efforts were made to

nothing came of it.

ships and the climate and was at

months lie was lacked by the dis
ease. He had barely recovered and
was able to stsgger about e Utile when
he was taken with pneumonia.”
It was At this time that Hamilton

outlaws in one of the almost inacces
sible little villages of Mexico. lie

and In this way became heavily In

Large rewards hung over the heads
of some of tlie men with whom Smith
associated. Human blood war. on
the hands of some, but the reasons
they had come there were little dis
cussed. Others had got away, with
large sums from batiks: but IhfiV had

By a mysterious, round about way,
I 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.

The letter came to Consul Letcher,
not directly, but through various in
termediaries. At the same time he
received a letter from Atlanta written
by Hamilton. The Consul merely for
warded Hamilton’s letter to Smith,
ijfinith made Rome conditions on which
he would surrender himeelf and the
arrangements finally were completed.
Hamilton was empowered as an
officer and left for K1 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.

Smith had made a clean sweep and
excluded no one who desired to ben
efit by the rich harvest which it was ,
understood he was reaping for those ;
who placed their money with him. I
Among those who are reported io ,
have lost In Smith's operations were'
such men as Frank M. Myers, H-.
president of the Commercial eompa-l
nv; Judge Simmons. J. L. Sims, of
Hapevllle; Jarnefi Stalling*. R- U-
Morris, Guy Thurman. Dr. D. E. Dew
berry s J. Collier. W. V Brandt, and
others The individual amounts »rc i
said to have run from a few hundred ;
dollar* up to as high as $21,000. One 1
busfne&p woman who had made a suc
cess in the city deposited $1,500 with
th* operator, only to lose the entire
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 ft
fugitive. He is said to have acted
as agent between persons who wanted
to borrow and persona who wanted to
lend money at a profitable rule of in
terest Ha would go to a person
financially well flxad. it is alleged,
with the information that lie hail 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 *
giving notes in return ns security for
the amount. These notes later Would
prove worthless
Other notes given out by Smith
proved to he forgeries. One of them,
for <400. bore the signature of M. M.
Andwtfton. Another note was on Bv-
rum Hule, teller of the American
National ftftnk, for $370, which proved
a forgery. There were many others.
It was on these forged notes that
charges were placed against the oper-
ator.
Speculations in stock, in which
Sniijih is said to have engaged, are
given a** the cause for his venturing
beyond the law.
Most pathetic of all affected by
the departure of Smith wan the oper
ator’s own wife nrd adopted child.
In the Smith home at 249 Pulliam
Street. Mrs. Smith, herself an invalid,
became prostrated when she learned
of her husband’s disappearance. De
spite this, however, she remained
loyal to him. t
Still Believed in Him.
“No matter what they say about j
my husband.” she declared at the
time. “I si ill believe in iiitn. I to al
ways hHs* been ro upright ! can’t be
lieve that he has done anything
wrong "
As she uttered those words. Smith
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; blue
eyes, blonde hair, a thin face *llfe
hollow cheeks and weight close to Vt3
pounds.
Several arrests were made in the
cane during the week that followed its
origin. Berry Smith, a step-brother
of the missing man, was taken into
custddv on suspicion of knowing
something of Smith’s whereabout?,
but to no avail.
Smith had disappeared from iden
tity and 4or several months hfx ot)<-
lit< ration remained complete. Half
fP year later he was located by the
Plnkferton detectives who had been
put on the case. Smith w as reported j
to he in Mexico. He had joined the 1
rebel forc es and was fighting under,
a foreign sun for a cause in which J
he could not have felt an interest.

say that Smith proved a brave and :
reckless abldier.
After h desperate battle near the
Mexican provincial capital of Chihua
hua* Smith was captured and thrown
into prison ir that city. He was
wounded severely and the tilth of the
Mexican jail soon brought disease
Into his body. Lack of medical at
tention i aused the soldier's wound to
become affected, and even now, as he
lies in the Tower, the wound is stilf
open and painful—a hitter reminder
of his former days.

detectives who had been trailing him
They immediately set about getting
extradition papers lo take the fugi

the law was foiled. Before e.xtrttdi-
tion could be arranged between the
State Department at Washington and
the American Ambassador at .Mexico
City, the Madero revolutionists had
captured Chihuahua and released
Smith from the jail, on condition that
he join the rebel army.
Smith agreed to this proposition,
and, despite his weakened condition,
followed the Mexican flag again to
the* battlefield, leaving his pursuers
behind him, baffled. However, Smith's
strength was slowly ebbing from him.
Never Could Extradite Him,

of the vibration between any two

in each instance they failed to ex
tradite him owing to his mUitary
connections.
At one time he was placed under
arrest in Jaurez. Smith then was
under the command of the Mexican
rebel general, Antonio Rojas, and a
warm personal friend of that official.
It was in the Chihuahua prison!
where General Rojas was confined
with Smith that the friendship was
made fast. Upon his arrest in
Juarez his release was ordered im
mediately by the Mexican general
and a day or so later the army with
Smith in it moved southward into
the interior, of Mexico, leaving the
detectives again without their quar
ry.
Smith appeared In Juarez the next
