TELEPHONED IN TREMBLING VOICE
OF KIDNAPING AND MURDER OF GIRL
A lady, very much excited, almost
out of breath, telephoned to The Light
and Gazette editorial rooms late
Thursday afternoon that while she was
passing through Brackenridge park
she observed a cowboy riding at full
speed through the park and that he
had a woman lying across the saddle,
her face filled with anguish and pain.
The informant was certain a horrible
crime had been coitaniitted and that
the woman had been kidnaped by the
man on the horse and perhaps was then
being murdered.
An investigation brought to light
that the blood curdling incident as de
scribed by the lady who had called
up The Light and Gazette, was a stunt
pulled off by Carl Anderson, who rep
resents a vitograph company iu the
taking of moving pictures and that
the savage looking cowboy and the
victim ho was kidnaping were actors
in the play, which in the near future
will be flashed on a canvas with a
title reading: “A Cowboy Romance iu
Southwest Texas.”

the company now established near the
Hot Wells hotel, and who has been
in the city several weeks engaged in
framing up pictures for use in all the
cities of the country, speaking of the
Brackenridge park scene, said:
“The act described J>y the lady was
somewhat thrilling, hut it was a good
makeup for a romance which promises
to be a good drawing card, providing
that the picture turns out all right.
The lady who reported to The Light
mid Gazette office also saw another
bunch of cowboys after the villain
who was eloping with the girl and the
victim herself, says that the lady had
a gooil case of fright wheu she passed
her.”
Mr. Carl said that up to the present
time his company had made several
sets of pictures, but that they were ail
on the lighter order, dealing wi’h
scenes of every day life in Texas. Ge
says the heavier work planned out will
Ire the siege of the Alamo and other
good pictures of Texas life, but that
they will defer taking the pietaros un

'J AVhon asked what her plans were,!
| Mrs. Jones said simply she had not

away from San Antonio; that the place]
held such terrible memories for her.
] Some of her friends, though, urged her I
, to stay, “but surely,” said she, “I

I would tie me to San Autonio now is |

many things which had to be attended

their future could be reached. As soon
as Mrs. Jonos recovers sufficiently to

SPITZER SAYS HE WAS MADE
SCAPEGOAT TO SAVE ‘HIGHER OPS'
New York. Feb. 11.—Oliver Spitzer,-
an employe of the American Sugar Ke
fining company, who was yesterday sen
tenced to serve two years at the federal i
prison at Atlanta, said today:
“The sugar trust made a seapegoat
of nre. It deserted nie absolutely and
hounded and ruined me after 1 served
tude for .-ill the kindness which has

Women Blame Chambers.
The telephone bell of C. M. Cham
bers, assistant district attorney rang.
Mr. Chambers lifted the receiver, but
before he could say even the conven
tional “Hello,” he was assailed:
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself!
Persecuting a poor woman, calling her
murderess and assassin, hurting her so
much when she was lying half dead on a
cot!”
It was a woman's voire talking and
for three or four minutes Mr. Cham
bers was given what is technicallv
known as “a piece of her mind.” And
this particular woman didn’t mind giv-,
ing an unusually large slice of her
mind, either.
This was early this morning. Later,
at his home and at the office, he was
continually called to the phone by wo
men who wanted him to “know their ;
honest opinion of a man who would per
secure a poor helpless woman.” More 1
than half a score of times he was
abused, called hard names and made the
target for “call downs” that wonhl
hnv<- caused a man with less equanimity
to get angry.
But Mr. Chambers takes the stand
that he did his duty only and that there l
is no cal) to heap abuse on his head. He
idates that as assistant district
nry no other course was left open to
him nut to stand up and argue the case
of Mrs. Fay Heard Joues as if it were
not oat of the ordinary.
“Women have been calling me
names all the morning.” he said, “but
I know that only their tender
hearted feelings which prompts them.
They don't perceive that I as a sworn
officer of the law and no matter how !
much personal dislike, had to prosecute I
Mrs. Fay Heard Jones just As I try to
do every other defendant who is i
brought before a jury. Mrs. Jones had
been indicted by the grand jury and was
on trial for a capital crime. What els-'
could 1 do except prosecute her and. I
as I stated during the progress of th-'
ease, let the ehips fall where they 1
would! I simply did my duty and whil-' I
I regret that some have taken a stand !
against me. yet I feel satisfied with -
mv conscience and I know that I did .
what I had sworn to do.”
