ing from the direction of the federal
prison They told me about passing
the Packard, standing up the hill.
Later. when [ couldn't get my car
put out, L started walking toward
the federal prison with Mr. G. f.
Hall, of 29S Atlanta avenue, and we
passed the Packard, the lights burn
ing, but nobody in sight. [ caught
car at the federal prison that put
me in town at 9:40 o'clock, and I
must have waited twenty minutes
for it, so it was evidently about $3.50
when my car started burning. I sup
pose the Packard was there then. I
didn't see anybody or hear any

Tells of Car Burning
The ruins of Mr.. Anderson's car,
discovered by investigating officers
| Tuesday morning, aroused some sus-
picion at first. But Mr.. Anderson
went to the courthouse and the po-
lice station as soon IS he heard OF
the murder and explained the burn
| ing of the car to the entire Satlsfac-
| ton of the officers
His statement, together with the
Daughtrys and the Studdards, was
taken as corroborative evidence that
| Dorsey was murdered shortly after
he picked up his passenger or pas
sengers on Cherokee avenue.
After hearing detailed statements
from the three prisoners at ponce
Standardization and the two girls
officers were inclined to discount
their supposed connection with the
murder.
The arrest of Hasleet came about
because he remarked to some one
Tuesday that he was ION hell OF a
party the night before and got
knocked in the head out on the
south side"
He was arrested and save the
names of the Bell girl and the Scott
girl as being members of the party
A suspicious circumstance was the
statement of Hasleet that one of the
girls kicked the glass out of his car,
a limousine. Broken glass was found
not far from Dorsey's Packard and
no glass in Dorsey's car was
smashed.
straightforward Story
| HasIeet and the two girls, how
ever, told a straightforward- story
day.
Hasleet drives a taxicab for the
Carson Cab company. He said he
picked up the two girls and two
men about 2 o'clock Tuesday morn
! ing at the corner of Trinity avenue
! ana Whitehall street, and that they
rode for hours, mostly in the direc,
! ton of Cascade road. He denied
! being anywhere near the federal pris-
/ on, but admitted his passengers were
! bOiSterous and one of the girls kicked
out some glass.
The girls said TWO men telepnoned
them about midnight and asked them
! to SO for a ride, that they rode for
+ q while in Cadillac and then
changed to Hasleet's car, a Winton-
/ Six, about 2 o'clock in the morning
on whitehall street. They admit
ted the incident about the broken
glass, but denied any knowledge of
the murder
An interesting point in connection
with Dorsey's murder is the fact
that the workmen's compensation act
became effective at midnight Mon
day. If it can be established that
Dorsey was killed in the perform
ance Of his duty as an employe Of
the Bryant TaXicab company and
that he met his death after mid
night Monday, a claim may be filed
by mis- mother under the compensa-
ton act for 500 funeral benefit and
SO a week for 800 weeks. Thus far
it is by no means sure what time
Dorsey actually met his death. The
Bryant TaXicab company holds an
indemnity policy with the London
Guaranty and Accident company.
