Whereabouts of Missing Augusta Broker Un
known to Wife Whom He Left Behind.
Suicide Theory Is Not Believed.
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., July 14.'—No greater
social shock has been felt by the peo
ple of Augusta than that caused by the
announcement of the trouble of Thom-
W. Alexander. Alexander’s life had
been spent In Augusta. He waa con
sldered a model of honesty end a man
among men: a man of ability, an at'
tentlve eon, and one whose evefy ac'
tlon bespoke his pleasure In admin
istering to his aged mother; one who
was a devoted hueband aritt father.
Alexander was regarded by all who
knew him aa a man of strong moral
character. There are none now who
can but feel that extravagance and
dissipation stole upon him In the most
gradual way until he was finally over
thrown. The fact that he has fallen
does not preclude the people from pity
ing him. Instead of blaming him, Au
gusta extends universal sympathy to
this man In the position In which he
has placed himself.
Was Just to His Ensmias.
Tom Alexander, as he was familiarly
known, wae always found to be kind,
considerate and gentle with hie friends
and fair In hts opposition to those whd
were not hie friends. That, Alexander
may fall Into the hands of the law and
receive punishment by the elate Is pos
sible, but his friends believe no punish
ment that can be Inflicted under .the
law Is comparable with the punishment
that the man must have endured during
the past (our or five years, as he real
ised that the colls were gradually
tightening about him.
That his trouble has been brought
about by a love of material comfort, In
which the predominating feature was
the pleasure and comfort of those who
were dear to him, and the eoctal vice
of a friendly game. It Is generally con
ceded.
Trouble! Began at Club.
Alexander's troubles began about five
years ago. It recalls the organization
of a club located In the country, within
the confines of Richmond county. You
can find at thle locality during certain
seasons of the year dally gatherings of
young men around the tables, at which
cards are played for largo stakes. This
Is a matter which has been freely
spoken of for years, and It Is believed
the Indulgences which have led to
thl* man's downfall began here.
The club In question, it Is generally
admitted, has been frequented by the
leading men of the city, some holding
official positions, and while all were
friends and the object of the game os
tensibly only for pleasure and social In
tercourse, It is said to have worked a
terrible evil.
A Warning to Others.
Therefore, today Tom Alexander lies
wreck on a' shore on which many
lives have stranded, Instead of stand
ing out on the rock os a lighthouse to
warn others from danger. Hie friends
believe that this wreck of a man, en
dowed by nature with'ft''strong mind
filed In the office ef the clerk of the
Federal court here late*. In the after
noon. The petition set forth the fact
that Jhe firm had preferred one credit
or to another *and asked that they be
adjudged a bankrupt. Perry Beneon
has been secured by the creditors to
Investigate the claims of the different
creditors, also to check up the books
of the firm and ascertain the amount
of the indebtedness. A meeting of
the creditors was held yesterds
on account of there being no e\
before them they adjourned until some
other date, pending the Investigation
ot Mr. Benson.
8uiclde Not Believed.
Alexander's disappearance Is still a
mystery to hie close friends, but It Is
Id that, he has about f 13,000 on his
person, or had about that amount when
he left here, and It Is not believed that
he has killed himself. 1 It has been
traced that he had about the above
amount from the borrows he made on
the morning that he left Augusta. The
amount of money that has been lost by
the banka, the other corporations and
private cltlaens Is not considered by
the great shock It has had with the
confidence ot hla friend*.
Up to last night no one had heard
from him, or, if they had, It was not
known to the public. All of his friends
are trying to locate him, and If posal
ble Induce him to return to the city.
Left Wife and Children,
So far as can be learned, Mrs. T. W.
Alexander has not heard from her hus
band since his departure from the city.
She and her five little children, most of
whom are girls, are at their home on
the 1000 block of Greene street.
Only yeeterday the cotton exchange
changed the figures of the amount of
cotton stored here, and decreased tho
amount 2,000 bales:- this was to cover
the amount of shortage In Alexander's
warehouse.
, Heavy Claims Filad,
The petition filed in the bankruptcy
proceedings eunmerates the following
creditors: i
Georgia Railroad bank .. ..$120,000.00
National Bank of Augusta .. 7,500.00
Southern State Phosphate
and Fertilizer Company .. 11,681.02
G, H. GIRARDEAU
For County Treasurer.
In coming before the public at a can*
dldnte for the office of county treasurer,
subject to the primary of August 22,
think it scarcely neceaaary to say to ths
people of a community/ in which I hare
lired for orer twenty yearSs and with
large portion of which 1 am personally—
and I trust favorably—acquainted, that
do not seek this responsible office from the
Undpolnt of a ring politician, but rather
as an experienced business man, a citizen
having, above alLthinga else in public life.

and charming personality, may be tho*‘h« welfare of his city, county, aud state
cause of saving others. Those who
Ttnew him Intimately, speak In low
tones of this man' who todny Is a wan
derer and exile, hunted and haunted
and who with the sensitive nature that
hat always been his, has to think of
those dependent on him being left to
struggle alone; to think of the aged
mother who le bowed In grief and de
spair: to recall that only a few years
ago he stood untarnlehed, a man with a
reputation second to none, and a man
who would not for an Instant brook an
Insinuation that he had been guilty of
any immoral or unfair act
It Is recalled that on an occasion
when In a political meeting It was Inti
mated by his opponent that he was act
ing unfairly, or that'he was trying to
take an undue advantage, how Alexan
der sprang to hla fet, turned on his
accuser and in an Impassioned manner
refuted the Insinuation, and carried
the meeting by storm.
His Friend* Pity Him
Hie friends do not condone hi* of
fense. They condemn him. But hie
friends pity him, and pity those who
are near and dear to him, and wish
that It was In their power to wipe
away the shortcoming and place Alex
ander where he stood a few years ago.
The hope It expressed on all sides
that In the wreck that has been
wrought a warning may be given to
others that will causa them to steer
clear of the coast sailed by this man.
a coast that Is dangerous, and a coast
that Is strewn with wreck*. Somp of
Alexander's friends have enough con
fidence In the man to believe that If the
opportunity Is offered he will devote the
rest of hit life to making amende for
the wrong he has done.
Bankruptcy Proceeding!.
The only development In the Alex
ander case yesterday was the filing of

Lamar & Calloway and Vf. H. Flem

was 47 last April. His history In tab
loid form shows quick advancement.
He 1s a graduate of Amherst College
and the Columbia Law School. He
waa admitted to the bar In 1884 and
became a clerk In a law office. He
wore out his clothes waiting for clients
and then fell in love. His father had
a pull with Richard Croker, who waa
then In power, and young Jerome se
cured a place In the office of the dis
trict attorney, John R. Fellows. It
waa a different office then, before Je
rome reformed It. The young attor
ney worked like a slave, went Into the
courts, made a reputation, got on the
toeing side of an election and saw the
end of hla term staring him In the face.
He was married by this time and the
outlook was gloomy. Then he was
made assistant counsel of the Lexow
committee, to Investigate Dr. Park-
hurst's charges. Here he learned to
go to the bottom of things and cure
crime by Jailing criminals. When Wil
liam L. Strong waa elected mayor of
New York In 1885 Jerome was appoint
ed Judge of the court of special ses
sions, where he continued seven years.
Theodore Roosevelt, then police com
missioner, waa raiding the city nightly
and stirring up trouble for the police
grafters', and,Jerome tried the offend
ers. They were a pair to be afraid of.
In 1881 Mr. Jerome was elected district
attorney as a Democrat. Last year
he ran again, tfyla time as an Independ
ent, snd again won the race. He cells
himself a Democrat, but he Is not a
strong partisan. He prefers to be free
to think and work as he pleases.
