WHEW, BUT HE WAS SCARED
Frantic Phone Calls for Help
Sent Auto Load Of Police to
His Rescue.
In thc Maror,s chair for a night!

In the Mayors chair for a night!
That was the experience that H. T
Smylie a young drug clerk of Jack
son, Miss, recounted to an amused
audience IN Recorder Broyles' court
to-day.
Smylie explained that he had come
to Atlanta for the purpose of obtain
ing a little recreation" and his
bizarre narrative indicated that he
had succeeded beyond his fondest eX-
pectations.
A telephone girl was nodding drow-
silly at her switchboard at central
very, very early this morning. In fac,
it was only shortly after o'clock,
when the calls were few and far be-
tween. Suddenly the hello maiden"
was reused by the frantic flashing IF
one of the little lights before her.
She yawned and inwardly said UNI
kind things about persons that would
call at that hour, but was startled Dy
the terrified tones that came over the
wire when she made the connection.
Locked in Court House.
From the incoherent remarks she
finally was able to gather that the
possessor of the voice was locked n
the court house and couldn't find mis-
way out. At least that was what he
said. although the switchboard indi-
Gated that the call was coming from
Mayor Woodward's private office.
The Police Department was notified

city hall.
Found SmyIie in Chair.
They swung open the door, rushed
through the dark corridors that were
silent except for their footsteps
swarmed up the stairs and dashed
into the Mayors sanctum.
Into the obscure corners CAPTAIN
Poole played his electric flash" until
finally an aura of light encircled the
disheveled figure of Smylie sitting in
the Mayors chair still pleading with
the girl at central to hurry his rescue.
The explanation came out in the
Recorders Court. He had met some
hail fellows" CT this city. They had
introduced him into a half dozen %
the Gate City's famed locker clubs
He had partaken freely of their hos
pitality and returned it in full meas
ure.
When the psychological moment ar
rived they led him to the city hall.
They would show him the best club "
all, they assured him. They piloted
him up the darksome stairs and oh
the third floor conducted him into the
Mayors office.
Saw Bearskin Rug First.
Getting him well within the door
they suddenly had deserted him.
Il struck a match" said Smylie in
relating his experience to Recorje-
Broyles, "and the first thing l saw
was a big bearskin rug.
This is no locker club | says %
myself This is a menagerie and ~
place for me-
Then I got scared and began call
ing for help.
The Recorder was lenient with
Smylie and let him go on payment
of a fine of s5.75.
