WIFE DEFIE
FOR HUSBAND
"K W
ICE; STATION IN II
Babe's First (Santa Claus), So
Mother Gave “Hubby” Saws
for Jail Escape.
Imprisonment, freedom on bond,
and the care of a tiny baby boy all
failed to kep Mrs. W. E. Manley, 18
years old, from her imprisoned hus
band's side, as he awaited Monday
morning his hearing before Recorder
Broyles on a charge of passing bad
checks.
Mrs. Manley arrived at the police
station very early with the baby. She
also is to stand trial, accused ot
smuggling metal saws and a file to
her husband, to enable him to escape,
so he could play Santa Claus for our
little son, on his first Christmas."
The young wife explained this
through her tears as she was arrested
Sunday afternoon at their home, No.
127 Gapitol avenue.
Husband Held in $1,000 Bond.
Mrs. Manley was freed on a bond
f $100.75, furnished by a professional
bondsman. After the Jall-breaklng
utensils were found on the person ot
her husband, his bond was raised to
51,000. and he was held in Jail.
Manley was arrested Saturday, and
his wife followed him to headquar
ters, and seated herself outside the
cell door.
‘It seems like a shame Jack can’t
be at home the first Christmas of his
little son," she said, but nobody
thought she intended to rescue her
husband.
All afternoon Mrs. Manley, holding
the baby, sat in an armchair outside
Manley’s cell. Shortly after midnight
she left the baby with a turnkey, say
ing she was going to get her husband
eomethlng to eat. She returned with
quite a packet, which was passed in
to Manley without remark. Then the
wife went away.
Prisoner Sounded Alarm.
There Is no telling what might have
happened had not Homer Leathers,
another prisoner, suddenly started an
alarm that he had been robbed Ot
569. Assistant Chief Jett ordered
Ward No. 2 to be cleared and the in
mates searched. Inside Manley’s shirt
were found two small, fine saws and
I a file, with the customary cake of
soap for lubricating the work in
metal.
Manley maintained that he had the
tools when he was arrested, but his
wife owned up Sunday that she had
tried to help him break jail so he
could be at home for Christmas.
Early Monday morning the wife was
back at her post, waiting to see her
-usband. Owing to her former at
tempt, she was not permitted to go
into the cell room, but sat quietly in
the turnkey’s office, holding her baby,
waiting patiently for the case to be
'ailed in the Recorder’s Court.
Manley and his wife w’ere both
bound over to the higher courts by
Judge Broyles in $500 bonds. Judge
Broyles, expressing amazement at the
smuggling of the saws into the police
station, said that if the police didn’t
v atch out somebody would be blow
ing the place up.

HILLIARD
Noted Actor Faces Arrest in New
Orleans Because of Woman
Traveling With Company.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.—Robert
Hilliard, the actor, who is appearing |
here in "The Argyle Case,’’ w-ts
brought face to face with a charge
of white slavery as a result of his
friendly interest in Mrs. OlgA Wil
liams, a wealthy Philadelphia di
vorcee. who traveled South with the
company.
The charge was hinted at by Judge
M. L. Lazarus, counsel for William
Page, formerly valet for Hilliard.
Page has sued the actor for $5,000
damages, alleging that he was beaten
by the latter. Mrs. Williams was
wanted as a witness at Hilliard’s pre
liminary hearing, but she was ab
sent.
Counsel f r the valet tried to bring
out the fact that Mrs. Williams was
in the actor’s dressing room Tuesday
night when he assaulted Page, but
members of the company declared
Mrs. Williams was not in the room at
the time. Finally Hilliard rose impa
tiently to his feet.
"If your honor will permit." he said.
"I will clear up this matter very soon
Mrs. Williams left the jurisdiction of
this court when she learned that she
might become involved in this trial. I
advised her to do so. She is a re
spectable woman. She wanted to take
a trip to the South during the cold
weather; my company was going the
same way.
"She is properly chaperoned by Miss
Everett. I suppose," he added, "white
slave charges will be brought against
me next."
"That is possible,” said Judge Laza
rus, addressing the court. "Page, the
valet, kept Mr. Hilliard’s accounts.
He can show that Hilliard paid Mrs.
Williams’ railroad fare and that she
reimbursed him with checks. The
fact that she paid him back with
checks would be considered an eva
sion before the law. I have not taken
any steps toward making white slave
charges against Mr. Hilliard. This
matter rests with the District Attor
ney."
Special Agent Pendleton, of the De
partment of Justice, said he did not
thyig the matter came within his Ju
risdiction.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Dec. 22-
Inquest by the Coroner’s Jury into the
double crime of John Patton, who mur

committed suicide, after forty years of
married life, failed to disclose any new
aspect.

Big Christmas Dinner
For Horses of Poor
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Because of the
Idleness of thousands of men In Chi
cago and the consequent inability of
teamsters to buy good feed for their
teams, the Anti-Cruelty Society will
serve a sumptuous dinner to all horses
whose owners can not afford to give
their animals a treat.
(
There were just about two classes
of people in Atlanta Monday—those
who had attended The Georgian and
Sunday American Empty Stocking
Fund free concert in the Forsyth the
day before, and those who had been
turned away from the doors because
of the immense crowd within.
As a result of the big concert, the
Empty Stocking Fund, praisrsl by
blind Helen Keller in a touching ap
peal from the stage, is several hun
dred dollars richer and hundreds of
persons are grateful that they had
the opportunity to contribute to the
cause and at the same time listen to
one of the most pleasing musical pro
grams that could be arranged in At
lanta.
It is doubtful if a more impressive
or a more sensible ape pal for funds
with which to fill the empty stock
ings of a city ever was made.
Makes Wonderful Appeal.
Speaking from the sincere emotion
that filled her heart, the wonderful
deaf and -blind woman—no longer
without speech—called upon the vast
audience that she faced, but saw not,
to bring Christmas happiness to the
homes of the needy, and not to rest
at that, but to follow out this bit of
charity and good fellowship by seeing
that reforms are inaugurated whicn
will do away with much of the pov
erty and unhappiness that now af
flicts society.
She urged the abolition of chjld la
bor. which stunts ana blights the
childhood of the nation, and appealed
for better conditions for women in all
walks of life.
Applause broke Into her remarks
from time to time. Her sane and
common sense sentiments awakened
