FOB THIEF Neighbor Getting Into Wrong House Almost Shot by Mrs. Barnett, the Detective. Mrs. Hattie Barnett’s revolver was squarely in the face of S. P. Sims; her finger was closing on the trig ger; the death of the supposed bur glar was hanging on a hairline in the early hours of Christmas morn ing. when a vision stopped the trig ger finger of Atlanta’s woman detec tive. She told about it in the Recorder’s Court Friday morning. “It just wasn’t that man’s time to die,” Mrs. Barnett said. “I had the revolver fairly in his face and my finger was closing on the trigger, when I had a sort of vision.’’ And this is the story. About 2 o’clock Thursday morning Mrs. Barnett was awakened by the ringing of her door bell. It was Sims at the door, but Mrs. Barnett did not know that. Sims is Mrs. Barnett's next door neighbor, living at No. 9 Woodward avenue, while Mrs. Bar nett’s home, where she lives with a sister and a young couple who board there, is at No. 15 Woodward ave nue. i Slams Door in His Face.

Mrs. Barnett knew just what it was. She ran to her bed and from under the pillow she drew a revolver. It was not a feminine sort of revolver. It was long and rakish as to barrel, blue in color, heavy in caliber—a business like weapon. As the woman detective grasped the revolver, a man swung through the shattered window into the room. Fails to Recognize Neighbor. They were face to face, the woman detective and the housebreaker, and still there was no thought In Mrs. Barnett's mind that this wiid-eyed intruder advancing on her was Sims, her next-door neighbor, with whom she wasn't acquainted. “My arm came up automatically,'’ Mrs. Barnett continued the story. ‘The muzzle of the revolver was al most touching the man’s face, and I was pressing the trigger—that man, I tell you, was the same as a dead man, right then. And then there flashed into my mind a picture, like a frag ment from some motion picture drama. “I saw the picture of a mother—a mother and a little child. It was fa miliar, and in the same instant I recognized the woman as my next- door neighbor, and the child as her baby; I had seen them often. “But I can’t for the life of me un derstand why I associated that man with the picture. I don’t remember ever having seen him before. “I stood there, with the gun in the DETROIT.
