4 BIER KMC OF ATLANTA FIE DIES IN CELL Technicality Delays Pardon Until Too Late—Career Here Sen sational—Jailed in Boston. Cardf-nio F. King. Boston newspa per publisher and financier, who died a convict on the State farm at Bridgewater. Mass.. Monday just be fore (Governor Foss was ready to sign his pardon, had an Atlanta career al most as interesting as his pathetic death, according to Atlantans who knew him during his residence here more than ten years ago. He came to Atlanta from North Carolina and was known as "Kodak- er” Kink because of a column he ran in various Atlanta newspapers which was headed by a photograph of him self with a camera. His personal ap pearance marked him an unusual man. for he weighed about 300 pounds, had bright red hair and mus tache and a rosy complexion. His column was indicative of his character. It always began with a i few breezy paragraphs of choice gos sip. but a reader would not peruse far before he discovered himself bu ried in alluring advertisements. Hoaxed by Walter Taylor. Occasionally when advertisers re fused to be convinced of the value of this column he would he sent out on regular assignments. It so hap pened that one day he was sent to the police station, the "beat” of Walter Taylor, the present City Clerk, but then a bright young reporter. "Ko daker” King was unfamiliar with the assignment, so he decided the best policy was to follow close on the heels of W T alter Taylor. And thereby hangs a tale. Walter Taylor "framed" with De tective Billy (Tim. the famous police man who passed away several years ago. to call him suddenly as though something startling had happened. Crim sprang the trick one hot August day while Taylor and King were walking down the street, and Taylor, lithe and young, darted up the steps He did not stop until he had gained the ro<'f ,.f the cupola of the police station He did not even stop to look around, for he knew' that King, 300 pounds net. was following him with all his might and main. King Reached Top—Purple. Several minutes later King, puffing and blowing, stuck his head through the manhole on the roof. His red face had turned purple and the perspira tion streamed down his cheeks. Soon afterward "Kodaker" King left Atlanta. He was flat broke and his friends did not know what would be come of him. But a few years later he returned with his name changed to “Oil" King; and it was remarked that if his oil flowed as much as nis money, he would be*a second John D Rockefeller. As "Kodaker” he had gone to Bos ton. But he dropped that title with the discovery of oil at Beaumont, Texas He went out there as an ad vertising man and soon owned a num ber of acres of rocky land. Train Attached for Debt. Back East he hurried and organized an oil company. When he struck Atlanta he was traveling In a special train. He advertised his stock In two-page spreads In each of the At lanta papers. Sam W. Small, evan gelist and newspaper man, was en gaged as his press agent. The only reminder of his former days of poverty and gloom was when all hi^ possessions in the train were attached by a justice of the peace bailiff for an old debt of $40. But he paid that and was on his way. The next Atlantans heard of King was that he was in the penit mtlary in Massachusetts. He had been the owner of a daily paper, The Boston, Daily Tribune. His financial career was ended when he was convicted of obtaining $22,000 under false pre tenses. Died in Sight of Liberty. Only a technicality prevented his last words being those of a free man His wife and four sons were at his bedside. Governor Foss had been wired that his condition was hope less. The Governor had canvassed his council and decided to grant a pardon. But the council could not be called together to take formal action until Tuesday. When Dr. Emerson medical head of the State Farm, went to announce that a pardon would be granted Tues day he found King dead. Chronic in testinal trouble.was the cause. NEGRO CHAUFFEURS MEET.
