WITH BATED BREATH CAPITAL AWAITS
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INVESTIGATION
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS


Nothing so big, so gigantic, so wonder
full in it's import has ever before occurred
within the borders of this state. That its
echo will continue to resound for
years upon years is certain.
Today the sensation was the arrest of
James G.. Oakley, president of the con-
Wet bureau. The sensation Of the NOR
row, may be the arrest of Theodore Lacy,
the absconding chief clerk. The sensation
of Thursday may consist Of the state
ment of Lacy.
That tomorrow names not heretofore
mentioned will be freely and publicly dis
cussed is openly predicted. At this mo-
ment the one thingt, tain is that Ala
bama, the people Of the sovereign state,
are earnestly aroused. and that before
the curtain is lowered on the story OF
the present disgrace of the age the cup
will have been drained to the dregs, and
men now in prominence win have retired
under cloud from the scene Of action
and the playground Of activity.
Following his arrest this afternoon
Oakley made bond. Later he appeared at
the Exchange hotel. There was nothing
defiant in the attitude of Oakley, but
every one was impressed with the fact
that he is brave.
1T would be contrary TO the advice Of
my counsel ne said to the cora ,sponden'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-19

of The Age-Herald, "Were I to make a
statement. Nothing that I could say at
the present time would serve purpose.
I know that am innocent of any crime
unless the placing of absolute confidence
in my fellowman was crime. In the
future, I will be vindicated. At the pres
ent time / must remain silent"
There is every reason to believe that
the arrest of Lacy will be effected
within the next 4S hours. At the present
time the net is fast being drawn
around the head of the fugitive. That
he is within 10 miles of Montgomery
is generally believed to be true, and 1t
is stated that tonight detectives are so
close behind the absconding clerk that
they stood where on the evening pre-
yious he had supper.
1t is no longer doubted but that Lacy
win he captured. Montgomery is ask
,np .What will Lacy say?" 1t is be-
lieved that he will make clean breast
of the situation and that when he
leaves to serve sentence i'll the mines
of the state he will not tread the path
tn seryitude and repentance unaccom-
nanied by others decorated with the
changing chain.
But Governor O'Neal is not awaiting
tho capture of Lacy His investigation
will proceed tomorrow. There Is des-
tined TO occur the sensational and the
surprising, for it is stated by the at
torney general that when Charles L.
Harold testified today that Oakley had
been made aware Of the request Of

Montgomery, March 1S.-(Specal.)-A
check for $4,000 was drawn on the
Montgomery Savings bank with the full
knowledge and approval of President
James G. Oakley of the state convict
beard. This check was presented to the
bank by Theo Lacy, defaulting clerk of
the convict department, and was honored
by Charles L. Harold, president of the
bank, who filed out the amount of the

check was presented in blank form, bear

board to make his bank the depository

effect that Oakley had consented to
the withdrawal by Lacy of the funds
of the convict department from the

and it was anticipated that his arrest
would immediately follow these dis

EXPLAIN MOTIVE

looking fellow about 10 years of age ON
being arrested he refused to explain his
motive for the crime. He declared his
name was AlelSo Schinas, and in reply
to an officer who asked him whether he
had no pity for his country, announced
that he was against governments.
| Schnas maintained perfectly impass-
able demeanor, which was suggestive of
his being irresponsible for his actions
Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which the king received attention, he was
dead ON arrival at the hospital. frecau-
tions at once were taken throughout the
city and perfect order is being main-
tained.
The King fell into the arms of his
aide when shot. Two soldiers ran up
on hearing the firing and helped to
support him. lie was placed in a car

the bleeding. but he breathed his last
on the way to the hospital nearby.

been waning of late but the news of this
wholly unexpected tragedy caused an in
stant and immediate sensation. 1t was
generally known that the King of Greece
still was at Salonilx, as nothing had been
heard of his movements for several days.
Concern regarding details of the assas-
snation was intense, but as the hours
passed and no further news reached Lon
