WOMAN'S AID SEEN

u
ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 25.
The ten German prisoners who escaped
from the Fort McPherbon prison barracks
Tuesday night are believed by secret service
zents to be hiding In Atlanta. Notwlth
itandlng a careful search yesterday and
lait night, nothing definite as to their
thereabouts haB been discovered.
That the Germans could have received
cutalde aid In their escapo from the bar
racks through the 100-foot tunnel, dug 15
feet underground and probably begun the
Jay after their arrival, October 6, was
icouted by Colonel Van Orsdale, commander
cf the prison camp.
While other members of the police force,
Department of Justice ngents and soldiers
from Fort McPherson nre searching for the
Germans and watching' every avenue of
escape from the city nnd surrounding
country, other officers are searching for
in "woman In the case," who, late Wednes
day telephoned tho police that she saw eight
teen answering the Germans' descriptions
come out of Cascade Wood, not far from
the fort. The woman making the call was
reductant to give her name to the police and
aid she waB telephoning from the home
a neighbor
The woman game the name of Mrs.
Wright. A thorough search of the neighbor
hood revealed the fact that no Mrs. Wright
lived In that section of the town. A thor
ough Investigation of Cascade Wood re
julted In no evidence being found that the
Germans had been there.
One theory of the ercape of the men Is
that a sweetheart of Lieutenant Hans Berg,
n of the escaped prisoners and former
commanding officer of the Interned Appn.n,
in Atlanta and that It was she that made
" telephone call to the police In order
J give the men an opportunity to escape
from another part of the city by centering
the search again to the vicinity of Fort
WcPherson.
Lieutenant Berg had made love to girls
' in various eastern cities, with whom he con-
lanny corresponded, according to officers
at tho fort To one girl In New York Berg
rote several days ago:
"I would give my life to be with you for
M hour." ,
