suggestive. Again, the reader who

People Of @3,OOO.
Browns VALLEY, Mimi, Aug. %. ~
Two men, giving the names Of j. w.
Corey, alias John Hines, and William
Graham, were arrested in Harmon
township. charged by Charles Urich
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Corey pretended TO be the state
boiler inspector of South Dakota and
Graham passed as his deputy. It hap
pens that that state does not require
the inspection of boilers, but these
swindlers have examined about 800
boilers and pocketed socalled fees
amounting to about $S.0O0 Their
mode OF operation was to inspect the
boilers and give engineers licenses to
run threshing engines, charging in
most cases $5 each, but where there
was an opportunity they would accept
$40 to $15 as bribe to keep still II the
engine was . little risky.

ENJoYED CRIME.
Strange Discovery Made i'm the Sensations
Train Robbery at Chicago.

Strange Discovery Made i'm the Sensational
Train Robbery at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Ang. 28.-The man giving
his name az German, who participated
in the Deerfeld holdup and subsequent
stirring events late Friday night and
Saturday morning, and who was iden-
titled as Billy Williams, well known
character ON the Pacific coast, has again
been identified by responsible parties as
H. +. Griswold, a well-to-do local in
spector Of the Manchester Assurance
company. Griswold's father is said to
be travelling inspector of the Home
Fire Insurance Company Of New York
and resides in that city. The people
making the Identification are officials Of
the Manchester Assurance company and
they maintain they are not mistaken.
IL appears TO be
A Case OF DIR. JekyIl and Mr. Hyde.
Griswold had no need to steal or to
shoot his fellow men, but he did it ap-
parently because he loved the mystery
and the excitement of such a life.
Crime has apparently become pastime
with him and he is supposed to have
found an apt pupil in Lake, poor, un-
employed laborer. During the day
time Griswold filled the important po.
sition Of fire risk inspector, which he
used as cloak for his marauding ex-
cursions during the night. About five
years ago Griswold married q country
girl and she became Mrs Gordon, not
Griswold. Since then they have lived
in various parts of Chicago, their last
residence being 13 Curtis street. Sum
day the timid, frightened wife
Called at ehe Police Station
and gave her name as Gordon, saying
she never knew her husband by any
other name. II is believed that the
police department. with the help Of the
railroad companies, are running to
earth in this dual arrest q list of train
depredators, Of which Griswold is the
center.
The story Of Griswold's life, 50 far as
known, is unique. Born almost 2S
years ago. his father tried to give him .
fair education, but the boys instincts
were wild and lawless. He eventually
disappeared from home, and was next
heard of in the West as cowboy and
ranchman. After several years Of ad-
venturous life in California, Oregon
and Idaho, he came to Illinois and Sc
cured employment as brakeman at
Rock Island. While there he married,
and the influence Of his wife
Caused Him 70 Lead Quieter Life.
Bis father, noting the improvement in
his behavior, used his influence TO se-
cure the son o position with the local
Office OF the Manchester Assurance COM
pany. Young Griswold grew proficient
In his new position and soon drew o
handsome salary. 1t appears, however,
that the reformation was not complete,
but just when Griswold began his
double career while in the employ Of
the Assurance company is not known.
Further disclosures are expected at the
inquest over the remains Of Detective
Owens, which has been postponed for q
week to permit the police to make full
investigation Of Griswold's and Lakes
careers.
