Strong1 Chain of Circumstantial
21 Evidence that Homer Tate
took Watch from Henderson
ville Residence in the Night.
Patrolman Henry Reed yesterday
brought to Asheville from LandTtuim, S.
C with Homer Tate and Gomer Red-
tm'an, colored, two convicts who escaped,
along with two others, all trustees,
from county convict canup No. 1, on
Gash's creek, Sunday afternoon. Tate
is now charged with having committed
a iburglary in Hendersonville Monday
night, and the evidence, although cir
cumstantial, would seem to (indicate
that his neck is in jeopardy. I
Tuesday Capt. Jordan, acting chief
of police, received a telephone imessage
from the mayor of Landrum, telling of
the arrest of two men thought to (be
wanted here. The descriptions tallied
with those of two prisoners sent to the
county roads originally from (police
court, and Mr. Reed went dowivat once
to investigate. He identified Tate and
Redaman, who had given their names as
John Williams and Charles Croweli. A
colored boy who had known them here
had been the means of their discovery
by the officers there.
He also found that two watches had
been disposed of, one bearing the name
Mrs. Hattie L.. Freeman," a lady's
gold watch, and the other a silver
watch, with "S. P. Q. R." engraved
on the case.
As soon as he returned to Asheville
Mr. Reed comimunicated with Mr. Free
man of the revenue office, who tele
phoned to his wife in . Hendersonville
and asked if she had missed her watch.
She had not, but at once searched for
it and failed to find it. This was yes
terday afternoon. Mrs. Freeman said
a "party of five negroes passed her house
Monday .morning. One, whose descrip
tion fits Tate, who sold the watch,
bought a lunch from her. It is thought
he saw her iplace her watch and pause
In the kitchen cuapfboaKd. The purse she
subsequently moved. -Monday, , night
she heard a noise in the kitchen. MrS.
Freeman will come uip today to identify;
the negro. The (police have the silver
watch in their possession. The other
was, of course, found to ibe Mrs. Free
man's. The- other two negroes who escaped
are Arthur McDowell and Claude
Dawkins. : They are thought to be . in
Sipartanlburg,- Greenville or Columbia.
Tate was serving a term for the lar
ceny of $10 from the residence of Dr.
Paul Paqoiin. .

A new arrange iii nut uas lust been

ers throughout the country, says the

been allowed to a New York firm by
the United States patent office. The
new billiard cushion M n coiled wire
Inserted in the edge or the cushion, or
the impact edge, as billiard players
will recognize it
Toe t Idea of the coiled wire Is to
stiffen the edge, and it is said to do
this. Most billiard manufacturers use
either canvas or hard rubber for this '
purpose, which in time becomes hard
or carbonized, and in a year or two the
cushion becomes "dead" and practical
ly useless. It is said that the coiled
wire principle Will add more elasticity,
and resistance. The new idea will, it
is said, also prevent the expansion or '
contraction so common in old time,
