.MANACLED NEGRO
BATTLES POLICE
Black Who Leaped From Train
Near Terminal 0verpoWered
in Ella Street House.

A giant negro near seven feet in
height. with the broken shackles Of
handouts still clinging TO his wrists,
gave Policemen Hughes and Lowe the
battle Of their lives early this morning
on Ella street, when they attempted to
arrest him as a fugitive. The negro
was VIII Houseworth, who last night
went Wild in a railroad coach which
had borne him from Birmingham. and,
although bound with handouts, over
came I. c. Clarke, his guard, and leaped
from the train as it neared the Termi-
nal station
The two policemen took up the chase
and several hours later trailed him TO
the house of his brother, % Ella street.
After a desperate fight, they overpow-
eerd him and took him to the city
prison.
Houseworth was arrested two days
ago in Birmingham, and l. c. Clarke,
a professional bondsman of Atlanta,
went there to identify him, thinking he
had a complaint against him. AL
though he found that the negro had
skipped no bond, he volunteered to
bring him to Atlanta for the sheriff of
Fulton county. He succeeded until the
train neared the Terminal station. Here
the negro made a frantic effort to es-
cape, beat off Clarke, who attempted
to hold him, and leaped from the car
into the darkness.

"FREckLEs" is DISAPPOINTING.

Whatever "Freckles" is as book
and there are many thousands who have
liked tit is not a play capable of the
fullest measure of interest. The play as
presented at the Atlanta last night is
handsomely staged, giving a fine view of
the Limberlost in it's first two acts, and
It is capably interpreted except in one
or two spots probably, but II is simply
not story intended for stage purposes.
In a word, IT lacks action. Its most in
teresting situations lose their thrill
through lack of staging possibilities.
There is hardly a climax In the story
which could be called other than mildly
interesting
one of the really refreshing facts in
the present cast is the faultless Irish
brogue of Perry Golden, who plays
Freckles, and who also has good voice,
which he exhibits in two songs with a
distinctly Irish flavor. 1t may be sus-
pected that the brogue is not assumed
either for its burr is too natural and is
distinctly noticeable in his songs.
However much one is tempted to praise
the evident efforts Of the cast in telling
the story, the fact that II is not a stage
story is too patent, Here today and Sat
