Prosecutor of Pleas Joseph ]. Sum
merrill declared the whole thing was
nothing but a frameup.
Lee T. Hallock, ex-collector of
taxes of Franklin Township. Who
caused the arrests. minated that this
is only one of a number Of sensa-
tional cases that he purposes in due
time TO disclose. LAS soon as 1 feel
that our courts are clean and unbi-

With George w. Dickensheets. pres
ident of the First National Bank Of
Woodbury.; Freebooter Joseph B. Best
and Harry Stille, Clayton broker,
summerill was arrested Saturday at
the Bellevue stratford Hotel. Phila-
delphia, as the sequence to a month s
investigating by Burns detectives.
The men, who, 1t is alleged. de-
manded $1,000 in cash and bonds ag-
gregating 100000 as the price of pre-
venting the prosecution of Charles c.
Moore, of Clayton, for a supposed de-
falcation of $4,000, were entrapped
while in a secret conference on the
twelfth floor of the hotel, where a
dictagraph had previously been In
stalled.
The arrests were made by Detec-
tives Harbridge, Lynch, Scanlon and
Walsh, after they had been given
warrants issued by Magistrate Cor
man. The affidavits on which the
warrants were issued were sworn to
by D. w. Moore, former head of the
Moore Brothers Glass Company, Of
Clayton. which went into receivers
hands two years ago and was bought
in by bondholders.
After their arrest the men were
taken to the City Hall and arraigned
before Magistrate German. who had
remained in his private office await
| ing their arrival.
Each of the defendants was held in
5000 bail for a further hearing
Thursday.
According to D. w. Moore. the four
prisoners were members of a commit
tee representing bondholders of the
glass company. When he took the
witness stand Moore told Magistrate
German that the committee had de-
manded that he pay to them $1,000
cash, and also pay the interest on a
mortgage which stands against the
glass factory.
Mr.. Dickensheets denounced the ar
rest as low political plot. The agree
ment, he declared, was bona fide
transfer of the plant on purely bust
ness terms without the shadow of any
compact to shield anybody. He said
there was no occasion to make the
offer alleged in the complaint, as the
glass works will ultimately be sold at
receivers sale.

1.-THE Confession"
A Bit Too Morbid.

Even with its liveliest and most ef-
fective Interpretation, The Confess
sion" which opened at the Lyric
Theater last night would be bit too
morbid. There is considerable talk Of
the Almighty, and a simple discussion
of the weather leads back to con-
sideration OF the ways OF Providence
and to an injunction from a devOut
priest, Father Bartlett, to be careful
and prayerful.
All of which probably would make
the play strong rather indeter-
inmate word when used in connection
with the drama if the play were done
in the most effective manner. A play
that is strong even IL it Is rather
heavy. is to be commended according
to the rules. But the play at the
Lyric, not being most effectively done
falls short Of being strong.
II was not altogether the fault of
the members Of the cast Monday
night that there was a sense Of some
thing lacking. An inconsiderate ele-
ment In the audience persisted IN
talking aloud and in gisgling at mo-
mentS OF the most serious business.
This behavior started early in the
evening and became epidemic. And
because the serious tone of the play
ard the leYtty OF the audible auditors
were not in accord. the Interpretation
Of the play suffered.
Members Of the cast AT times arose
to the demands of the play. revealing
the possibilities that lie in The Con-
fession.' The play will be AT the
Lyric all the week. with matinees
Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday.

WYNN IS
DISTINCT HIT At
THE FORSYTH
Weeks Bill at Popular Vaudeville
House Is Full of Delightful
Surprises for Patrons.
BY CARLETON COLLIER.

Bessie Wynn is a dainty person,
just as she is billed at the Forsyth
Theater this week. She is captivat-
ing. too, and in the words Of the hum
BILE, she gets her stuff across" to the
infinite deectation of the audience
The strangers in the crowded theater
Monday afternoon and Monday even
ing knew from the behavior Of the
general audience that here was a ia
vorite, indeed.
Miss Wynn heads bill that is as
entertaining as Atlanta people have
come to expect the Forsyth shows to
be. There are no disappointments.
and there are even a few surprises.
The greatest surprise is a vest
pocket melodrama. With all It's thrills
packed into three scenes that CON
sumo only about twenty minutes.
There are thrills, too, OF the kind that
awake the galleries to a rapturous
applause.
Another surprise is the act of Rich
ards. The average woman imp ,r-
senator is so obvious that he deceives
few. Richards, however, registers 4
distinct shock when, after a round or
two Of really admirable toe daIlcing
and other pirOuetting that ordinarily
would be impossible to any but the
most agile girl, he pulls off his curly
wig
The last act Of the bill. that OF the
monkey who rides a horse and hi
cycle with all the eclat of a circus
performer, is good enough for even
the most hardened vaudeville show
goer, who is wont to rail at animal
acts
The Avon Comedy Four has an dc-
called THE New School Teacher,
which possesses the undesirable fea-
ture OF being not new. Still the laughs
that they draw when they leave the
schoolroom and come before the drop
to sing and dance are worth while.
Norwood and Norwood have a sing
ing and dancing act with features
that are unique, and Mabel Rother
and Clifton Anthony, who open the
bill. sing new, clever songs OF rag
time that tickle the ear and tsntalize
the feet.
