That he attempted suicide in order to
escape arrest on several warrants out
standing against him; that his nerve fall
ed after he had stabbed himself in the
right lung and that he then concocte6s
the story of having been assaulted and
robbed by a mysterious stranger is the
theory of the detectives working on the
case of ]. s. Amason, the young butcher
who was taken to the Grady hospital
early Sunday morning from the cornsb
CT Ridge and Wayman avenues.
Evidence already adduced by the detec-
tives makes their theory a convincing
one, although the young man still sticks
to his original story. The bracelet and
watch which Amason declared had been
taken from his pockets by his assailant
have been located at Decatur street
pawnshops and the pawnbroiers have
positively identified a picture of Amason
as being that of the man who pawnec
them about noon Saturday.
FUGITIVE FROM POLICE.
At the time of the alleged assault ane
robbery the county police were looking
for Amason They had two warrants
One charged him with having stolen a
cow from the pasture of T. Il. Harper,
stockraiser. who lives about mile be-
yond Lakewood Heights, and the other
charged assault and battery upon
young South Atlanta grocery boy.
A third warrant of forgery was ale '
pending against Amason, 1t being alleged
that Saturday afternoons ne signed the
name of ]. p Denuard, a meat market
clerk at 1SS Decatur street, to an order
for a suit of clothes which he sought tn
obtain from a Decatur street merchant

which indicated that an elopement plann-
ed for Saturday evening had been called
off by the young lady, led the detectlVes
