Harriet Clarke Escapes .
by Miracle From Death
Enraged because Harriet Clarke,
a beautiful Chicago woman, re-,
fused to lead a life of dishonor,
Andrew G. O. Jacobs, a convict
on parole, drew her" into a room
yesterday evening, slammed the
door, and drawing a Colt's auto
matic revolver from his pocket re
peatedly tried to pull the trigger.
In his fury and excitement, how
ever, he had forgotten to release
the lock and none -of -the 'bullets
reached the intended victim. With \
a cry of rage the infuriated man
dashed from the room, hurried to
the gunstore where he had pur
chased the weapon and threw it
on the floor, saying, -with a curse,
that it would not shoot
"Why, you have forgotten to release
the lock," said the clerk.
"How <So you release the <J— — d
thing:?" said Jacobs. "Tell me quickly."
It took the clerk but a few minutes
*ix> explain the mechanism of the re
volver and Jacobs started back for the
room where he had left the terror
stricken girl. In that time, however,
the police had been notified, the girl
had been led to a place of safety and
.the Intended murder was prevented.
Jacobs arrived in San Francisco about
a month ago, being accompanied by
Harriet Clarke, who then knew nothing
of his past life- The couple had eloped
from Chicago on Jacob's promise to
marry the girl on their arrival here;
\u25a0 but he repeatedly put off the ceremony
• with sundry excuses. . Sick at heart
at being thus duped, the girl told him
that unless he married her she would
leave him.
'•* — kill you if you do," eald Jacobs.
Undaunted by his threats the girl left
him three days ago. \u25a0 •
Finding her gone Jacobs started Im
mediately to hunt her down and at 6
o'clock yesterday evening discovered
her at 418 Dupont street.
"Come in here," said Jacobs, lndlcat- \u25a0
ing an empty room, "I have something
to say to you." So carefully did the
fellow succeed In hiding his real feel-
Ings from Miss Clarke that, without a
moment's hesitation, she did as re
quested.
"Now, d you," said Jacobs with a
snarl, banging the door and turning
on her suddenly, making no attempt to
conceal the jealous rage and passion
consuming him;
"Why. Andy—" began the girl In sur
prise; but the sentence ended with a
scream of fear as ehe saw him draw
the revolver and aim It at her. Beg
ging for mercy the woman crouched In
a corner, momentarily expecting death.
She caw Jacob's finger press on the
trigger, and cowered before him, plead
ing for her life, the agony of fear
changing her shrieks for help Vinto
hoarse whispers for mercy. Again and
ageln Jacobs endeavored to pull the
trigger, and each time he did so the '
woman passed through all the horrible
tortures such a situation would bring
about.
Attracted by her first shrieks . for
help a Japanese porter, N. Agasakl,
climbed to the transom of the room, but
quickly dropped to the floor when
Jacobs swung airburfd at him with! the
pointed revolver. Seeing at last that *
he could not shoot her Jacobs ran from j
'the room to the gun store, and In his;
•Absence the fainting girl was . taken !
iiway. !
