|. A. c. Nightwatch Got Gun
and FrustratediThird Holdup
N. A. Waddle Became Suspicious
Of Stranger-Phone Wires
Cut Fl

That a third holdup of a local
night watchman by a pair of uh-
known thugs Tuesday night did not
take place was due to the fact that
the intended victim became sus-
picious before any attack was at
tempted and armed himself with a
pistol, causing the suspects to leave.
The intended victim was N. A. Wad-
die, of 500 Forrest street, Waterman
at the acid plant of the international
Agricultural corporation south of
town. Next morning it was discov-
cred that the telephone wires to the
iplant had been cut, apparently with
a pocket knife. The, police were
not Informed of the occurrence until
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Waddle told the Times-Re-
corder today that he was called from
his office in the chemical plant about
IL o'clock Tuesday night by young
white man, presumably about II
years of age, dressed in dark suit
of clothes, slouch cap and tennis
snoes. His hair was light, which was
easily discernible in the light from
the plant.
The young man talked in ii low
tone, and kept watching down the
road while speaking" said he. He
inquired of me whether / knew Of
some night work available for him
to do. Upon my replying in the
negative, he kept insisting that |

the road below. l became some

asked hisl to wait few moments

next morning, upon hearing of the
attack on j. w. Troy at the light
plant tracked the marks of the ten
mis- shoes from the chemical plant
down the railroad, some distance,
and the natural supposition is that
the same ones who attacked Mr.. Troy
We're those who came later to the
plant.
Another peculiar incident con
nected with the visit to me was the
cutting of the telephone connection
into the plant which was not diseov-
cred until the next morning when
the superintendent tried to get a
connection and found the phone
dead 1t is apparent in the develop

who called on me had a companion
from whom he was awaiting a sig

HAILED WITH APPROVAL

ATLANTA, July 27.-There have
been many favorable comments on
the speech of Governor hardwick
at Decatur Tuesday night when he
reiterated his position on law and
order and the .unmasking of lawless
mobs. Governor Hardwick made it
plain that no lawlessness would be
tolerated in Georgia by strikers,
strike breakers, railroad officials or
anybody else.
He announced that he had no fight
on Senator Watson, that the senator
was elected to the senate and if the
senator wanted to fight him that was
all right, but the people of Georgia
elected him governor and as long as
he was governor he would bend to
the will of no man, and that if the
people wanted man who would be
only deputy governor to elect
somebody else.
