DRIVER SHOT
AND THIEF
ESCAPES
Robber Causes Disturbance in
Fashionable Neighborhood
Out on Piedmont.

A pistol duel between a burglar and
a negro chauffeur created a panic in
the fashionable residential section at
Piedmont avenue and Juniper street
Monday. The burglar was discovered
in the two-story servants house at
the rear of the home of DR.. l.. M.
Creighton, No. $50 Piedmont avenue, by
maid.
The burglar also was seen at work
by Lee Knox, the negro chauffeur for
John M. Mccullough, the rear of
whose residence at No. 147 Juniper
street, abuts the servants house, and
Knox shouted to him.
From the second story window of
the house the burglar, a negro, began
shooting at Knox, who returned the
fire. Two bullets penetrated the chauf-
feur's clothing and third caused a
slight flesh wound. Knox fled and the
burglar escaped, using strips Of sheets
to descend to the ground.
A lively chase followed in which
Policemen West, McWilliams, Tribble
and Can't participated, but the man
escaped. ~

Negro Taken After Fight
With Police on Roof.

Call Policemen Watson and o. r.
Jones were treated to a Wild motor
cycle dash and then to a grapple in
midair with a determined robber, who
having fled to the roof of the Bur-
CESS Meat Market, fought furiously
to throw the officers to the ground,
but finally was captured and Monday
faced trial in Recorders Court.
The robber. a negro who gave his
name as Paul Johnson, did not sue
coed in his design, principally because
there were two officers.
So the policemen were able to re-
count their adventure at the police
station Monday morning, and even to
laugh about it.
Retreats to Roof.
A negro living next door to the
Burgess market, at No. 231 Auburn
avenue, was awakened by sounds as
of burglars in the store. He called
the police. They arrived so prompt
ly that the thief was cornered before
he realized 1t.
Escape blocked at both entrances
to the building, the robber scrambled
up stairway, and with Jones in close
purusit gained the roof. He retreated
to the farther edge of the adjoining
roof.
There he halted between the dark
and empty void on one side and the
approaching officer on the other.
Watson to Rescue.
Rather than risk a jump, Johnson
tented a surrender, then closed with
the officer and with a spasm of eff
fort strove to whirl him over the edge
Of the roof.
Jones is something Of a wrestler,
but he had his work cut out for him
to foil the negro. Then Watson came
up and tugged the struggling pair to
safe distance from the roofs edge,
where the two overpowered the rob-
Der.
johnson, having been properly
downed and "cuffed," was quiet
enough after that.

He characterized Attorney Ar
mold s arguments as a three
day harangue of piffle, most of
which consisted of vilification
and abuse. " The Solicitor de-
voted all the time Of the after
noon to an emphatic defense Of
Juror Henslee. He conceded none
of the allegations made against
Henslee and commended that the
afidavits against Henslee were
made in great part by irrespon-
sible persons who since had been
impeached.
In a determined effort to bat

Solicitor Dorsey will conclude the

Hooper branded Arnolds charge
that Henslee plotted to get on the
jury and later played a deep game
to poison the minds of the other ju-
rors as a fantasy, improbable and
ridiculous, conjured up by the vivid
imagination Of my friend Arnold"
Evidently feeling that one of the
strongest entertainments of the de-
tense was constituted in its conten-
ton of violent bias, Attorney Hooper
devoted all the early portion of his
address to an argument on what he
termed the utter improbability of
Henslee making the intiammatory
statements credited TO him.
He pointed out that Henslee sold
eight buggies to Sam Farcus, at Al
bany, on July s, the date Henslee is
alleged to have expressed his opin-

of Farcus and other persons.
The lawyer argued that II Hens
