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 ready parsed 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- all cutting scrapes Sunday, twenty 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 bell. The third murderer, who is still 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. Noted Prisoner Flees U.

Adrianople Guarded By 400,000 Moslems Continued from Page 1 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.

Giant Junior Safety Razor The Best of Them Air 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. HUGH DORSE'S is different from most Juries, on which there are oftentimes cranks. One man will retire at 7 and the next one at 1 o’clock. One man will wan*, a room on the first floor and the other one will want to sleep on the roof. "They are a cheerful lot, and there is never any discussion as to what they will do. If one wants to go for a 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."
