THE ROGUE's GALLERY.
4 Collection Worthy the Study OF
PhysiSERomists-Th People Whe
Prey Upon Society and Illus
IraIe Evil ways.

The rogue's gallery which is kept at
police headquarters, under the charge OF
Clerk Sim. BaTinds, is a most valuable
album. 1t contains the photographs OF
three hundred and six criminals and Is
handsomely bound. The pictures have
been gathered with much trouble and
expense, and the collection is as com
plete as can be found in any city in the
Union. Many Of the pictures are copies
from the renowned Pinkerton detective
agency's album, while others have been
sent from Europe. All have been srtls-
ticslly arranged, and the name and
particular line of business Of each cTlml-
nal is given. Among the number are
George Macdonald and Austin b. Bid
well, two Of the bank Of England forgers,
whose exploits in London were OF such
a character as to challenge the admira-
ton Of all officials by their shTeWdness
and boldness. They succeeded in OBJ
tanning near five hundred thousand dol
lars from the bank on forged certificates
Of deposits, but they were detected and
brought back for trial and sentenced for
life. George mcdonnell figured in
Memphis at one time and had some
dealings with our Union and Planters
bank, but was unsuccessful in his efforts
to swindle the officers. The photograph
of Origen S. Storrs, who committed q
forgery at Buffalo, New York, and Of
James NJ. Hotchkiss, at Peoria, Illinois,
are also among the number.

SCOOTER was broken open and robbed Of
seventy thousand dollars worth of Jew
elry and diamonds. After committing
the theft the thieves came to Memphis,
and remained in this city for two weeks,
at the saloon of Angelo Mare, who
kept at that time near the OvertOn
hotel. Angelo Mares picture also
graces the album. He il was who put
up the job to rob Chief Athy's safe, and
secured the services of Doc Ransom,
alias Wright, alias Levy, to do the
work. Angelo languishes in the Eeni-
Tertiary at Nashville, but his time ex-
pires, through the Intervention of the
late governor, in October next. He will
not be permitted to re.establish q
"ience house." for such was the
character Of his saloon in this city, |
What Angelo Marie was to Memphis
so is Mat Hogan to New Orleans, for he
is the alder and abetter of all criminals
who visit the Crescent City, but he is
shreWder than was Angelo, since he |
