A story was revealed whose every

outlaws in the fastnesses of the Mex

A companion picture is that of the
relentless pursuit by one man who

diplomatic system. That man was
Tyr c M. Hamilton, of Hapeville
Swore to Bring Him Back
“J swore that I’d bring him back
lo Atlanta if T lived.” was his simple
declaration after he had returned.
But behind his quiet assertion was
the story’ of a two-year man hum
which in persistency of purpose and
unalterable determination seldom has
been equaled.
Hamilton was one of the heaviest
losers when the crash came.
How much he lost lie has refused
to pay. But it Is known that practi

swept away. Hia plans for a com

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

to live with a cousin. Crushed by

When Smith came across the
border into El I’aso, he dispatched
her a wire saying that he had sur

brigands by whom he virtually \vn*

would have been the same in any
event. Of this Hamilton is sure. The
capture might have taken a lit ie
longer, but it would have c.qme finally.
Only Seek* . Juatica, Ha Says.
Hamilton did not appear th« ‘ Im
placable. vindictive person bis ac
tions might Indicate when he was
seen Friday.
"We do not want to Ill-treat Smith
in any way,” he said. “Myself and
the other* who lost, however, believed
that he should be brought back. Then,
if,he has been wrongly accused or If
he has been made the ‘goat,’ that fact
can b* developed. As it was, he was
slowdy 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.
"From what I can ream, Smith was
free for about two months after he
left Atlanta. The n he was thrown
into prison at Chihuahua. Mexico,
and kept there for seven months.

"He was unable to stand the hard
ships and the climate and was at

months ho was racked by the dis
ease. He had barely recovered and
was able to 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

lay Hick there riiost of last summer,

Wisconsin Declines
to Ban Elopements
MADISON, WIS., May 16.—The
State Legislature defeated a bill to
make elopements Into adjoining
States Illegal. The bill, championed
by Assemblyman Rosa, himself a
bachelor, was intended to prevent the
marriage in other States of divorced
persons forbidden to remarry under
decrees granted in Wisconsin. The
law would make such marriages void
in this Statu.
It was found, however, that the
frequent elopements of Wisconsin
people into Michigan, Illinois, Iowa
and Minnesota would thereby be
made illegal, and any children illegi
timate.
