THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
turned empty-handed to the asylum.
Thaw, at the rate he was traveling,
should have been across the State
line in half an hour.
After returning to the hospital Dr.
Kien at once placed Barnum under
arrest, and posted a personal reward
of |500 for Thaw’s arrest. Dr. Kleb
intimated that Barnum was bribed by
Thaw, and that, after opening the
gate for the milkman, he allowed it
to remain open and stood silently by
while Thaw walked out and to lib
erty.
Solicitor Dorsey
Hammering Down
Point for State
Thaw gave a last glance around tht
bare room in which he had spent his,
time since he was adjudged insane,
thrusting into his pockets the few
knicknarks he prized. Carelessly he
sauntered through the corridors and
out into the courtyard, whittling.
Howard Barnum. the keener on
duty at the gat?, saw nothing unusual
in the apeparance of Thaw. Tb.-
slayer of Stanford White, by his con
duct at the asylum, had become a
‘ trusty.'’ and no thought of h’s es
cape /was entertained, fie paid no
attention when Thaw moved toward
the gate.
He Dashes Through Gate.^
As the jangling milk wagon drew'
up in front of the asylum gates, the
touring car and limousine came
alongside and stopped, but their en
gines kept throbbing. Thaw moved
closer to the gate. He stopped whis
tling and stood poised, ready for the'
dash. The milkman drove up with a
clatter. Barnum opened the gate
without a glance at Thaw. A figure
dashed past him, brushing his coat
sleeve—and Harry Thaw was running
across the road tow'ard the automo
biles.
The man in the driver's seat swung
open the door of the tonneau. Four
pairs of hands dragged Thaw into
the machine. There was a grinding
Barnum, amazed, stood for one in
stant at the gates. Then he started
vainly in pursuit. first blot on
a career of 30 years had come, and
it left him stunned. Blindly he stum
bled along the road after the big ear
then realizing the futility of pursui
hurried back to the asylum and into
the office of Dr. K|eb, the superin
tendent.
"Harry Thaw’s gone—escaped," he
shouted. Dr. Kieb sprang to his feet.
Car Outruns All Alarms.
In a moment he w'as telling the
story of the escape to police head
quarters, and in fifteen minutes the
police had thrown their dragnet about
the State. Matteawan became the
center of a widening circle of tele
phone and f elegraph alarms as Dr.
Ivieb called town after town only to
learn that the big black car with the
six men crouching low in it had al

Unable to apprehend Thaw and his
confederates by the telephone Dr.
Kieb started in pursuit, with about
a.s much chance of success as if he
had been chasing a rifle bullet. The
ten-minute start, the high power and
terrific speed of the car, the slow
ness of the pursuing cars—all were
in aid of Thaw, and the pursuers re-
YY'ith three ntgroes killed and a
fourth seriously wounded in free-for-

negroes are under arrest at police
headquarters, two charged with mur
der and the remainder charged witn
fighting, frequenting blind tigers, and
a host, of misdemeanors.
The two against whom the charge
of murder has been placed are B. C.
Smith and Ed Smith, alias Ed Camp

at large, Is said by the police to be
Phoney Johnson, a neg*ro desperado
with a long police record.
Ed Smith, while resisting arrest
after shooting Peter Jackson at 72
James street, was shot in the hand by
Officer Palmer. B. C. Smith was cap
tured after a hard chase by Officers
Davis and Fielder an 1 Louis Castro.
Most of the trouble started in blind
tigers throughout the city. Johnson,
after getting drunk, went to the home
of Munch Harris, 282 Butler street,
and stabbed him to death. B. C*
Smith killed John Henry Wilkerson
at 80 Decatur street about 4 o’clock in
the afternoon, and half an hour later
Peter Jackson was shot by Ed Smith.

of character witness*-* to be used In
the rebuttal of the testimony given
to go through the factory May 30
and illustrate his version of the man
ner in which the Phagan girl's body
was taken into the basement.
An instant and strenuous objection
rame from the lawyers for the de
fense. They protested taking the
time that it required Conley to go
through with the details he had dj-
•cribed on the ground that he. know
ing the possibility that he might later
be charged with the crime itself,
might probably have hurried through
with it so as to lepve the impression
that the deed comd have been don**
within the time that Frank was in
the factory between 12:56 and the
lime he left for home.
Dorsey argued that the Judge had
let in an experiment by persons who
knew of the alleged events of the day
only by hearsay, so why not ’et in an
experiment by a person who actually
had taken a part in them. His argu
ment won.
Victorious in this legal skirmish,
the Solicitor was ready to press his
advantage when court reopened Mon
day for the fourth week In the trial
of Leo M. Frank on the charge of
murdering the Phagan girl. His
main endeavor was to show the un
reliability of the estimate of Dr
Owens and his associates in the ex
periment by the defense. He also
wanted to approximate as nearly :i«
possible the actual time that it took j
Conley to reproduce the events, which j
the State claims w»ere a part of the
tragedy.
Tests Seem Fair
To Neither Side.
So far as the testimony has de
veloped along this line the time re
quired for the enacting of Conley’f
story does not annear to be a fair test
either for the State or the defense.
The testimony already 1n is to the
effect that the elapsed time 4 rom the
moment Conley entered the factory
building in charge of the officers un
til he went from second floor to base
ment and back again was about 47
minutes.
This estimate is evidently unfair o
;he State, as Conley was stopped sev
eral times in his narrative and was
asked on other occasions to stop and
illustrate the position of the deai
girl's body. The interruptions served
to lengthen the time that the negro
took in going through the Impressive
irama.
The Solicitor from the witnesses yet
to be examined will seek to show th -t
these Interruptions consumed an ex
ceedingly large share of the time,
and that the time occupied in the ac
tual reproduction of the events of the
day of the tragedy was comparatively
brief.
A number of character witnesses j
were still to be called by the defense.
If Frank’s lawyers still were of the
Intention to omit no one who might
help the case of the accused man, it
was certain that most of the day
would be taken up with the testimony
of the character witnesses who had
not as yet been examined.
Defense Would Show
Bias of Detectives.
The defense also had planned to g?
Into a number of Interviews that
were published during the progress
af the investigation into the murder
mystery in an effort to show' that the
detectives from the first have been
obsessed with the idea that no one
else than Frank could have been
guilty of the crime, and that they
have refused to entertain any other
theory or follow out the possibility
of the guilt of any other person.
If this phase of the investigation is
developed, it is likely that Chief of
Detectives Lanford will be called
the Bland and asked concerning his
attitude throughout the search for
the murderer.

by persons who have sworn to the
good character of the young factory
superintendent. It is known that a
number of them have sensational sto
ries to disclose. What part of their
testimony will be permitted to go on
the record is problematical.
The defense has fought strenuous
ly the introduction of testimony by
which the State has sought to show
that Frank has been guilty of grossly
immoral conduct.
Frank’s lawyers brand these stories
as slanderous and untrue. They are
able to refute them, they say, by the
word of scores of reputable citizens
but they asesrt that Frank is not be
ing tiled on any other charge than
that of murder and that, therefore,
the testimony in regard to alleged
acts of immorality is utterly irrele
vant, immaterial and illegal.
Doors Closed on
Specific Instances.
Since the ruling of Judge Roan,
closing tlie doors to the introduction
by the State of evidence relating to
particular incidents of alleged mis
conduct. Solicitor Dorsey has been
unable to get substantiation of his
charges of immorality before the
jurors. The sole exception to this was
in the cross-examination of Miss
Irene Jackson, one of the defense’s
witnesses. Frank, according to Miss
Jackson, three times to her knowl
edge came to the girl’s room, opened
the door and looked In upon the girls
there and then turned and walked
away.
The State will construe this as one
of the indications of Frank’s attitude
toward his yollng women employees.
The defense will set forth that the
young women were supposed to be at
work at 7 o’clock and Frank looked
into the room fifteen minutes later to
see whether they had arrived or not.

which there are oftentimes cranks.
One man will retire at 7 and the next
one at 1 o’clock. One man will wan*,

"They are a cheerful lot, and there

walk, all are ready. There has been
no kick on the food or the censorship
of their mail and reading matter. If
these men are as ideal at home as
they are on the jury, all must have
happy homes."
