Burglar Escaped From Fulton Coun-
ty While Under Sentence.
The Atlanta officers of the law are
again after Tom Taylor, the negro who
was recently indicted on six charges
of burglary. The superintendent of
police yesterday received letter from
Sheriff J. w. Nelms of Fulton county
asking that the negro be turned over
to him, as he has three-year sentence
hanging over him there.
Taylor made his escape some time
ago from an Atlanta officer in Savan-
nah. The superintendent has written
Sheriff Nelms that the burglar has al
ready been indicted on six counts here,
and that a hundred cases could almost
as easily be found against him. These
will occupy his attention here for about
the balance of his life time, 1T is
thought.

BOY SWINDLER
NOW IN TEXAS
H. M. JOHNSON GOT LETTER
Roy WHO MADE SENSATIONAL Es-
CAPE IN NEW YORK WROTE HIM.

From Ssn Antonio, Tex, He Wrote
That Regiment of Soldiers Could
Not Bring Him to Savannah Alive

Sent to Junior Republic Turns Tn
in Lone Star State-His Career Has
Been One That Would Do Credit to

"A regiment of soldiers could no;

in letter to Secretary Johnson of Y.
M. G. A.
Harry Miller. the boy swindler, who
made sensational escape in New
York from one of the vessels of the
Ocean Steamship Company, is now in
Texas. A letter has been received in
Savannah from the youngster.
The letter from Miller was from San
Antonio, Tex. and was to Mr.. Henry
NJ. Johnson, secretary OF the Y. M. c.
A., one of the many who took an in
terest in the lad, while he was here in
Jail. it was through Mr.. Lohnson's
efforts. largely, that the boy was sent
to the Junior Republic, instead of be-
ing sent UP for term in the peniten-
tiary. The letter to Mr.. johnson is in
keeping with the rest of the acts OF
the boy swindler. While there is a
great deal of brag in it, the boy
seems really to have appreciated Mr..
Johnsons efforts in his behalf.
How Miller Was Helped.
After his operations in Savannah
Miller skipped out and went to st. Au-
gustine. 1t was there that he was
caught. The cases held were plainly
against him. and he would have re-
ceived term in the penitentiary, but
for the fact that Mr.. Johnson, and
others, became interested in the lad
He was apparently a manly young fell
low, who had started wrong in life
Efforts in his behalf resulted in his
being sent to the New York Reforma-
tory, instead of the Georgia peniten-
tiary.
He appeared delighted with the idea
of going to the reformatory. He
thanked his benefactors effusively, and
said he was going to make a man out
of himself. He was sent from Savan-
nah by boat to New York in care of
the captain. Just as the vessel ap-
preached her dock in New York young
Miller leaped overheard and made his
way to the shore over a number of
lighters crowded about the wharf.
After his escape in New York, moth
ing was heard from him until Mr.
Johnson received the letter, postmark-
ed San Antonio. In the letter, he
thanked Mr.. Johnson for all that had
been done for him. He said he was go
ing to make man of himself, but
thought he could do 1t better out In the
world than in a reformatory.
Jumped From Steamship.
He jumped from the steamer in New
York, he wrote, to gain his liberty and
he added you would have jumped,
too. if you were going to be shut up"
He asserts he is going to be a good
man, but believes he can do better out
in the world than locked up in an in
stitution. He fails to explain how he
got from New York to Texas, but 1t is
believed he must have shipped aboard
a vessel going from New York to GAL
weston.
He ends his letter by asking Mr..
johnson not to give him away, as he
