Relative He Slew Man in
Atlanta Monday,

With the arrest of J. r. Cartwright
80 years old. a printer, Tuesday morn
ing, after a chase over two counties,
detectives are securing Atlanta in an
effort to unveil the mystery Of a con-
fession of a killing he is alleged to
have made to his mOther-in- law, Mrs.
Winnie Faith. at her home near Con-
stituuOn, Ga
The police say they were first call
ed by II. Hudgins and n. l. Rob
ertsOn, employees at the EntrenCh-
ment Creek disposal plant, who de-
Clared that a man had told them Of
overhearing Cartwright tell Mrs.
Faith that he had killed a man in
Atlanta Monday night
Hudgins and Robertson also told
the police that Mrs. Faith had ad-
mitted to them later that Cartwright
had made the confession.
Cartwright Denies Story.
The printer. when arrested finally
at the home Of his brother in law,
David Faith, No. 10 Hill street, made
a denial Of the story. The police rec
ords show no report Of a killing Mon
day night.
Here is the story Hudgins and Rob
ertsOn say Mrs. Faith told:
Cartwright came to me early this
morning and asked me if ! had any
money. He looked scared. When |
asked him what was the matter he
said: My God, | killed a man in At
lanta last night and | must get away
before they catch me-"
This story was met by vigorous
denials on the part of Cartwright
we were working at the disposal
plant this morning said Hudgins.
when a man came running down
there to tell us that he had just over
heard Cartwright tell Mrs. Faith that
he had murdered a man. We called
up the Atlanta police Immediately
and also notified Sheriff MCCurdy, of
Dek alb County
Say Woman Admitted Story.
Then we went up to the Faith
home, which is "A short distance away,
and asked for Cartwright Mrs. Faith
told us he had gone away. We asked
her about the confession and she said
it was true.
When the detectives arrived from
Atlanta we Joined them in the hunt
for him. We telephoned over De-
Kalb County and then went to Dave
Faiths home, on Hill street, in At
lanta. There we found Cartwright"
The charge at present against Cart
wright is suspicion" and he will be
held until the puzzle is solved and his
alleged confession either proved or
disproved
Other than to deny the confession
story Cartwright would make no
statement.

amount to no small sum before order

The only persons who reap a benefit
from the conduct of the work are the
contractors, and the horde of political
workers who have been put upon the
job.
Some of these workers appear to be

traveller may proceed on his journey,
provided he has no business on STRAIT

The streets through which the detour
must be made are in a condition that
is fndescribable. Revere street appar-

General indignation over the situa

conflagration risk to which property
is subjected.
Fire Chief Mooney was not inclined
to be communicable with respect to
his views on the torn Up condition of
the highways in the East End. When
his attention was called to the condi-
ton of Connecticut avenue he said: Its
wrong, of course it's wrong. But what
