ART GIRL
Negro Who Robbed Hospital Here
Said to Answer Description
of Leegson Slayer,

In the negro who gave his name as
John Henry, after he had shot at two
men and committed four robberies,
the Atlanta police Friday expressed
the belief that they have the man
who slew Ida Leegson, an art stu
dent, in Chicago. and have solved a
mystery which has puzzled the police
Of that city since it was committed
October T.
The negro. who was arrested as the
result Of a clever ruse by Miss Nellie
ASshire, n nurse whose room in tha
Georgia Baptist Hospital dormitory
he had entered, tallies with the de-
scription Of the man hunted for the
murder Of Mrs. Leegson in the North
ern city. The negro admitted to Chief
OF Detectives Lanford that he was in
Chicago at the time the art student
was murdered. He also stated that
he had heard OF how she was mur-
dered, but declared that his knowl-
edge came only through reading
newspapers.
Mrs. Leegson's mutilated body was
found on a lonely prairie in the out
skirts of CHICAGO after she had left
her abode to answer a mysterious tel
ephone call for a nurse. Persons later
declared they saw a copper colored
negro acting suspiciously in the vi
cinity OF where the young woman
was murdered. They stated that hs
was tall and square -shouldered and
well dressed.
Answers Description.
In these particulars Henry tailieE
with this description. The negro can
give no satisfactory explanation oc
why he left Chicago. That he is a
desperate character was proven 5y
the daring of his Atlanta crimes.
Henry is being held under $4,000
bond for two cases Of assault with
attempt to murder and four burgla-
ries. He is accused of entering the
home of Mr.. Frank NJ. McSherry, No.
S5 East Merritts avenue, and shoot
ing at McSherry when discovered. On
Wednesday night, it is charged, the
negro entered the home of R. c.
Bruce. No. % Simpson street. He
shot at Bruce and then escaped. That
same night he entered Miss Abshire's
room in the hospital dormitory Tho
young woman. hearing the negro, told
her roommate that she was sick and
went out Of the room. She then no
titled the police and the negro was
captured after he left the dormitory.
Picture Sent to Chicago.
Jeff Wright, the Bertillon expert at
the police station. while questioning
the negro, found that he came from
Chicago. In a cross examination the
negro made damaging statements re-
garding his knowledge of Chicago and
the Leegson murder. He has been
photographed and a picture of him
sent to Chicago police for possible
identification.

made up for by the gallantry Of the
