Five Points Sees
Thrilling Chase;
Man Is Caught

Dodging motor trucks, automobiles
and street cars, and plunging through
the throngs of pedestrians at Five
Points in his efforts to escape a de-
termined pursuer, J. Waddell, a sta
tionary engineer, furnished an excit-
ing spectacle for the crowds Friday
afternoon.
Waddell had just arrived in At
lanta from Louisville on the Dixie
Flyer. No more had he made his
way TO Five Points than he was rec.
ognized by II. G. Cook, with whom he
had had fight in an Atlanta pool
room some weeks before. The recog
milton was mutual At the same in
slant that Cook started in pursuit
sWaddell dashed up the street in an eff
Fort to escape.
Cook said at police headquarters
that the attack Waddell made upon
him several weeks ago was entirely
warranted. Waddell left town i'm
mediately after the fight took place
and remained in Louisville until Fri
day.

County Suspect
Tangled by Police.

John Nolan, as he gives his name,
now being held as a suspect by the
county police, has told several con-
fiicting tales as to his business in
Bolton late yesterday afternoon.
Nolan first said he went to Bolton
to see "Mr. Smith, a carpenter but
didn't see him. A little later he said
he did see Mr. Smith. and transact
ed some business with him. Asked
how he got to Bolton, and from
where, Nolan said he walked there
from Atlanta late Friday afternoon,
but later changed this and said he
rode from Atlanta to Bolton on the
Rome Express, train on the West
ern and Atlantic Road that leaves
Atlanta at SIS in the afternoon.
Nolan, at first inclined to talk a
good deal, has shut up rather tight.
He refuses to say anything further
about himself this morning, and the
police do not think he has told his
right name.

sion that the car was afire. She says
that she and the other two women

when the porter asked him at which
station they We're. He opened the
door to look at the tracks and the

AM|0R0US IN
RACE FOR
MAYOR
Politicians See New Angle IN Po-
IiticaI Situation Which Will,
Weaken Woodward.

Martin f. Amorous. ex-member OF
the City Council and prominent CAPT.
talist, Friday announced that, he
would run for Mayor in the next
election.
Most political experts have been
skeptical of the reports that Mr. Am
orous was to run since he always has
been a close friend OF Mayor Wood
ward, and 1T is generally understood
that Mayor Woodward again will be
candidate,
II am not running against Mayor
Woodward or anyone else" he said
He, with others. has been mentioned
as a probable candidate, but no one
has announced. | don't know who is
going to run except myself. / will"
Likely to Weaken Woodward.
The announcement puts a complete
new angle on Atlanta's political sit
uation. Mr.. Amorous undoubtedly
will command some of Mayor Wood
war; regular support. He also will
get encouragement from elements
that never have supported Mayor
Woodward.
Mayor Woodward is going to run.
II fate will permit His close friends
DO not have any doubt about that.
Mr.. Amorous was told this.
Il have seen Mayor Woodward
since it has been reported that ,
would be candidate" he said HE
didn't mention the matter to me nor
| to him IL he had mentioned 1t
would have told him
Il have retired from active bust
ness and haven't anything TO do |
want to be Mayor"
Who else will be candidate is
more uncertain than ever.
Booms of Others Growing.
Colonel Walter p. Andrews, consid-
cred a probable candidate, is in Eu-
rope as a special envoy of President
Wilson and will not return to Atlanta
until April He said he would an
nounce his decision at that time.
Alderman John S. Gambler, urged
by many to enter the contest, has
positively declined, but some of his
friends are hopeful that he will re-
consider the matter.
1t is not unlikely that Carlos II.
Mason, chairman of the Police Com
mission, will be candidate. Mr. Ma
son says he doesn't want to run. but
a growing boom Is on for him.
Forrest Adair practically has elm
mated himself by declining to con-
slider the matter.
There is strong potential force
In the boosts for Colonel F. u Paxon

This is Heard's story.
