Henry Shelton, a negro convict in
] the city stockade, was double-

an ax, and later defied Recorder Nash

noon.
The convict made his break for lib
erty while at work with a gang on
Bell street, between Auburn avenue
and Houston street. With guards in
'•lose pursuit, he vaulted fences and
ran through yards, finally seizing an
; ax and threatening any one who went
J close to him.
The guards finally got the drop on
I the ferocious convict and forced him
j to throw down the ax and surrender.
Later in police court, the recorder
! sought to give the negro some good
advice regarding attempts to escape,
| when the latter exclaimed:
“Well, I’m going to run away every
chance I have. They’ll have to watch
me good.’’
He was given an additional fine of
$25.75 or 29 days each in two cases—
one for escaping, and the other for
cursing and defying the officers.

campaign contributions in the Atlanta

the statement of Representative Wil
liam Schley Howard here to-day. He
was explaining his resolution, which
called upon the Civil Service Commis
sion to submit all documents and pa
pers it held in connection with this
case to the Committee on Reform in
lhe Civil Service, along with the or
der of the former Attorney General
quashing the case.
In his explanation, Mr. Howard
made the statement that the present
Attorney General would not allow the
matter to drop, as did his predeces-
sor, whom he charged with dropping
the case upon instructions from the
Department of Justice.
“These people were caught red-
handed in the soliciting of campaign
funds for the Republican interests,"
said Mr. Howard. ''They were abso
lutely violating the law, in that they
were upon Federal property at the
time they committed -the act. The
Secretary of the Civil Service Com
mission In Atlanta did his duty and
reported the matter, but the men
higher up stopped it.

resolution and will make a strong
fight to punish the offenders for prac
tically holding up the poor employees
of the Government by levying a con
tribution tax upon them.”
