THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. FELL FROM TOP OF THE EQUITABLE TO MS. DEATH Man Positively Iden tified As Joe Dorsett, a Tailor. GIGANTIC SEA TURTLE I MUST ANSWER CHARGE c) os c re OEM AN) EYES, OF FORMING COMBINE TO RESTRAIN TRADE The young man who either .accident, ally tell or leaped from th* top floor nf the Equitable building late. Tues day afternoon, and was crushed death on a one-story building below, and whose Identity was enshrouded In mystery, was positively Identified Wed nesday morning as Joseph Lamont Dor- sett, 10 years of age, a tailor, In the employ of the Terminal Clothing Com pany. No. 7 West Mitchell street. The body was Identified by E. Super- stein, proprietor of the Terminal Cloth ing Company, who viewed It In the un dertaking place of H. M. Patterson. The body was also seen later by other friends and acquaintances of the young man. Coroner Thompson, who Is Investi gating the tragedy, will hold an in quest Wednesday afternon at' 4:30 o'clock, at which time efTorts will be made to solve the mystery as to the exact manner In which Dorsett met his death. Myatery as to Cause. Whether he deliberately plunged from the eighth story of the Equitable, whether he lost his balance and top pled to; an accidental death, however, will probably never be known. Friends of the dead man advance the theory that he was probably mentally unbal anced at the time of the fatal fall. To substantiate this theory, It Is asserted that he has been known to act queerly st tlmea Sspersteln gives It' as his opinion that Dorsett w'as addicted to some kind of drug habit, and also states that the young man drank at Intervals. He says Dorsett left the tailor shop Tues day afternoon at 3:10 o’clock, and that at that time he appeared to be "off.” It Is generally supposed that the tailor wandered to the Equitable build lng while In a state of. mental abbefa tlon. He boarded an elevator car and alighted at tho top floor. This was about ( o'clock. Shortly afterwards his desd body was discovered lying on the roof of the one-story structure, ad Joining the Equitable. Dorsett was single and boarded at the home of Mrs. K. P. Cantrell, No. 131 Garnett street. Mrs. Cantrell was seen there Wednesday morning, short ly after she had been Informed of the death of Dorsett, and expressed the opinion that the young man was unbal anced mentally at the time of his death. "Mr. Dorsett was a pleasant and gen tlemanly young man and we all liked him very much,” said Mrs. Cantrell. T am satisfied, however, there was some, thing wrong with his mind, as at times he would seem to have flighty spells. He also Impressed me as being of i morose and despondent disposition, al though he never mild he was ilcsiiond ent. He ~ never' gave any latlmatioa whatever that he contemplated suicide, and I am convinced he did not Inten tlonally take his own life. If he leaped from the building the act was done In an Insane moment. Mind Not Right. "Mr. Dorsett did a peculiar thing about three weeks ago, which shows his mind was not exactly right. He was coming home from his work one afternoon and was walking at a rapid gait. When he reached the house. In stead of coming In, he walked hurriedly past. 1 attracted his attention by call ing to him, and'he then turned and came Into the house. 1 asked him what he meant by going past, and he replied ‘Oh, I guess I am Just crasy.' ’’ J. E. Dorsett and J. J. Dorsett, of No. 33 Walker street, are distant rel atives of the dead man. He also has an aunt In Campbell county, Mrs. Pronto Campbell, and has two brothers In Arkansas. Undertaker Patterson has wired the relatives, notifying them of the death and Inquiring as to what dls position to make of the body. Dorsett came to Atlanta about three years ago from Indians. He had worked In different tailor shops In the dty and had been connected with the Terminal shop for the past three months. Dorsett jCame From Rome. Joe Dorsett' came to Atlanta from Rome about two years ago. When not In his cups Dorsett was a quiet, genteel fellow, and industrious. In Rome Dorsett was for a long While night clerk In the Central hotel (now the Choice House). Little was known there of his family connection, other than his own statement that his people lived In Arkansas. Occasionally Dorsett would go on a terrific spree and do all sorts of queer things. After he left the hotel he en gaged In the tailoring business with another .young Roman, and they seem ed prosperous. Dorsett was a tailor by trade, and said to be a good one. KIs dissipated habits, however, soon caused a break In the Rome' Arm, and Dorsett came to Atlanta. He had been here only a short time until he engaged in an escapade that got him a thirty- day sentence In the stockade. Played Havoc on an Engine. One evening while on one of his periodic sprees he mounted a West ern and Atlantic engine standing near the old depot. He amused htragelf by running the engine up and down the tracks for a while and spread con sternation In the vicinity. He was arrested and when arraigned in police court and heavily fined, had no money to pay It. He went to the stockade, but friends paid hla fine after he had been there only a few days. SHOT BROTHER-IN-LAW AND CUTOWN THROAT By Private I-essed Wire. Msngum, Okie., July IL-George . A. ftephene wee yesterday fatilly sbet by bis brother.In-law, the Rev. 1. I,.

If some enterprising citizen would establish a turtle farm In Atlanta and raise eggs for the export' trade would put the cold-storage houses out of business and cause the harmless necessary hen to steal a nest and never come home. The turtle does things on a big scale, on a wholesale plan. That was proven at the Aragon hotel Tuesday, when' the monster tur tle that had furnished amusement for guests and bell hops- for- three days was butchered to make a Georgian hol iday. It Is a. good average hen, a self- respecting, Industrious hen with her owner's Interests at heart, that Jays one egg a day. Nobody would ask more of even a Cochin-China with a pedigree. But this particular , turtlo decapitated at the Aragon Monday was evidently preparing to open an egg store. “We found. Just one .hundred big, eggs like these Jn Miss Turtle when sho .was.kllled,” said Lee Barnes, “and at least five hundred little fellows the size of hall-stones."- • . ., , , Mr. Barnes had a big basket filled' with the.eggs. They were round and covered ;wlth a parchment-like skin Instead of the-brittle shell of the gar den variety' of egg. He bounced on< up and down on the desk. ‘Tm afraid I've made a mistake.' said'Mr. Barnes, “some agio Just told me that-turtle eggs are worth a dollar a dozen. Now, If we found eight dozen' grown eggs today and all thoza little ones growing, why, I believe I've killed the turtle that lays the golden eggs. But any way, we'll, have turtle soup.” His turtleshlp arrived last Saturday from Cumberland Island. Forrest Adslr found him on the beach and with the aid of a derrick and a stout man or two put him on the train and shipped him to Mr. Barnes. After his return to the city Mr. Adair woe persuaded to be photographed while mounted on the turtle. Those who know Mr. Adair may see how big the monster was be fore he was converted Into gumbo. According to the men at the Aragon, the big sea’monster weighed over Itlb- p#ft)dsS! and -was *s big Around, as table—slse of table not mentioned, required hours of coaxing to persuade the. blt.fcllqw to .put out his .hpnd and have, It .cnujppe/l off,, but perseverance conquered. Turtle dishes sfretched over half'the bill of fare at the Aragon Tuesday. - SIDNE Y C. TAPP ROASTS TOM TAGGART'S RESORT Atlantan Joins Crusade Against the Demo cratic Chairman. The Hon. Sidney ,C.
