WOMAN IN SHACKLES ESCAPES
Was Forced to Work on Chain Gang for
Violation of Suspended
Sentence.

Athens, Ca, April Z. - Kate
O'Dwyer, a young woman who was
shackled and forced to work on the
chain gang, made her escape here
last night.
The woman, who is said to be
pretty, had been sentenced to the
gang for twelve months for disorder
ly conduct. The sentence was sus-
pended on condition that she leave
the country and never return. She
returned a month ago, was arrested
and was ordered shackled and chain
ed day and night, as desperate men
convicts were. Her treatment be-
came public when an attorney asked
writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that no one can be condemn
ed to Infamous punishment except by
jury. The case attracted so much
attention that Gov. Smith took it up
and the prison commission issued an
order that no woman prisoner, no
matter what her offense, was ever to
be shackled
The O'Dwyer woman escaped by
cutting the bars on her cell. 1t is
believed she had outside assistance.
She was convicted of a misdemeanor
and her case will go to the supreme
court.

IS THIRD VICTIM
OF AN ASSASSIN
Attorney in Celebrated Dodge
Case Is Found Murdered
in Law Office.
MADE HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE
Condition of Office Indicates Desperate
Straggie-Gets Threatening
Letters.

McRae, Ca, April z. - That Pope
Hill, prominent attorney of Macon,
is the third victim of an assassin in
the now celebrated Dodge case, is the
belief of the authorities of this coun-
ty. Hill was found dead in the Of
fees of a local attorney at a. m.
yesterday, a bullet in his brain and a
revolver with one chamber discharg-
ed grasped in his right hand. The
condition of the office indicated a
desperate struggle. The stove had
been turned over, the coal scuttle
was crushed and the furniture was
broken On the floor lay an unfin-
'ished court motion in the Dodge case,
drafted by the dead lawyer, which he
came here to file yesterday.
Got Threatening Letters.
Hill arrived here at noon Sunday
and went into a friends law office
to work On the case. Later he went
to the home of the proprietor of a
hardware store and said he had re-
ceived some threatening letters and
wanted a revolver. He was so in
sistent that the hardware man open
ed the store and sold Hill the revol
yer which was found clasped in his
hand. When his body was searched
a note addressed to him at Macon
was found. 1t was written in a child
ish hand and said:
Pope Hill: The next time you in
terfere with our settlement you will
be broke
Instead of signature there were
rudely drawn skull and crossbones..
The authorities believe that Hill re-
ceived other threats after he arrived
here Sunday, which impelled him to
buy the revolver.
Trail of Deaths.
The trail of deaths and injuries in
the Dodge case began in 1891. In
that year Capt. John c.. Forsythe,
who represented the N. P. w. Dodge
estate, was assassinated. After a six
weeks trial five men were sent to
prison for life for the crime. Soon
after this, Lucius Williams, one of
the claimants attorneys, was killed.
Since then there have been numer-
GUS encounters growing out of the
case, in which the participants re-
ceived severe gunshot or stab
wounds.
The Dodge lands cover some 400
600 acres in Pulaski, Dodge, Telfar
and Lawrence counties The titles
rested on ancient land grants and
since 1882 there has been continuous
litigation over their ownership.
