He Tore Open a Wound, but the
Ruse Didn't Work.

James Clarity, young tough who
has caused the police no end of trouble,
and who is now under sentence to the
state reformatory tor picking a mans
pocket at Oakland cemetery last Dec
Oration Day, adopted clever ruse yes
terday by which he doubtless hoped to
escape imprisonment. Before his trial
and sentence he was out on bail. and
during that time he and Jake Conway
had lively scrimmage with Dayton's
bluff policeman, in which the ''bobby"
came out second best. Clarity. during
the fight, received a smashing blow
over the head that laid his scalp
open for several inches. The
wound is nearly healed, but yesterday
morning he succeeded in opening it and
starting the blood to running. When
Police Surgeon CoggSwell was called
Clarity appeared to be helpless and so
weak that his removal to the city hos
pital was ordered. He was carried out
in stretcher and taken to the hospital,
but he had been under care there less
than two hours when it was ascertained
beyond doubt that he was shamming.
A patrol wagon was called at once and
he was hustled back to the Jail in short
