picture ''took," as she expressed it to Clerk
German, because, as she said:
"You don't want it for no good purpose,
nohow."
So when she was taken to the photog-
raphers and placed before The camera,
Jennie became fidgety.
You can lead a mule to the river,
said she misquoting the old saying, "but
ten of yez cannot make him drink no
water
THE BEST THEY COULD DO.
1t was necessary for Detectives Boardman
and German to use main force TO get her
into chair. Butsh contracted the muscles
of her face. distorted the features and waved
her head back and forth like fig bush IN
a gale, besides making the most horrible
grimaces. Finally, after several attempts
the picture given in this column was accepted
as the best result that could De obtained.
George Brown was another individual
who had conscientious scruples against
having his picture taken 10 be distributed
among the galleries of thieves throughout
this broad land. He was arrested here for
petit larcey by Sergt. James A. Moore, and
claimed it was bis first offense. Therefore
he did not want his counterfeit present
ment TO get into bad company by being
found among housebIeakers, murderers,
thieves, thugs and bunco workers.
The detectives had Q severe struggle
with Brown in the photographers studio,
and even after he had been seated in
chair before the telltale camera 1t be-
came necessary to- use large amount or
muscular persuasion on him. One or the
officers was compelled to seize him by the
throat in order To get picture, such as
it is, of Browns rather handsome face.
After the sharp click of the snapshot an
nounced that an ifdellible impression of
his features had been taken the desperate
fellow assaulted the camera and tried
to destroy it.
Brown is an educated fellow, twenty
seven years OF age, and was born in Jersey
city. His number in the rogueS gallery Is
1854.
STRUGGLE WITH TIM OATES.
One of the wofst struggles the detectives
ever had in taking pictures was with big
Tim Oates, alias John Roe, the bogus
broker and confidence man, who was hauled
over the Goals while operating here, by
Detective Weldon. He was only twenty
two years of age and stood over six feet
in his bare feet Oates declared that he
would not submit TO his picture being
taken, and he was as good as his word.
The accompanying reproduction of the
only snap shot that was gotten at his hand
some face is madeup Of ano ocean of overcoat
and derby hat and very small island of
face.
The giant prisoner fought like mailman,
pulled his hat over his eyes, twisted his
face into all sorts Of cyclonic shapes or
bobbed up and down like crazy cid
schooner in nor wester.
After being pretty well worn out by their
efforts to make Oates ''sit'' properly,
the detectives accepted the picture shown
and wrote on its back under the head Of
remarks: Good locker" Whether this
was meant in sarcasm or facetionsn ..ss can
only be surmised Among the fly cops his
photograph is referred to as 1.-THE picture
of the hat and coat.s
MIKE CLEARY's MUGS.
Another hard-looklng photo in the rogues'
gallery is that of Mike Cleary, the sneak
thief. who is known as the India rubber
man. He was at one time employed as a
change feature artist in the New York
dime museums and low theaters. There
are several pictures OF Mike in existence,
