well that they became greatly attached
to him. II could actually allow them

Il want you to get me out of jail on a
writ Of habeas corpus. and want it
right away
Well, hold on, my friend said the
lawyer. I'VE must have 9 reason to
show the court, before we can ask for
writ.
I've reason enough" exclaimed the
man. The cruelty of the keeper
makes life there unbearable."
"Oh. pshawl don't tell me such non
sense. There never was a kinder keep

at Mr.. Walkinshaw's, and we had a big

get the hay under cover.

BYrnes wonderful skill IN eleiting
confessions from one or two Of the inn
plicated officials. It was then that
Byrnes showed himself as man who
would not let politics stand in the way
in upholding the honor Of the city.
The most important arrest Shat
Byrnes ever made was almost unknown
to the public at large. The newspa-
pers, even. knew almost nothing of it..
il was in connection with certain
anarchist case, and probably saved New
York from an outrage very much
greater than that at the Haymarket in
Chicago. The people of New York
will probably never know how mar
rowly the town escaped the greatest
criminal sensation Of its history on that
occasion.
The most dramatic arrest that Byrnes
ever made was in the case of muir
derer named Billy McGloin. lie was
notorious tough. and Byrnes was
morally certain that he had killed a
Frenchman who had been found dead.
There was no positive evidence against
him. Byrncs. who was then Inspector,
had gone over the case himself, how
ever. and made up his mind that Me-
Gloin had killed the man. and that
three Of McGloin's friends had wit
messed the murder McGloin had also
pawned pistol. Byrnes guessed that
it was the pistol with which the crime
had been committed
notwithstanding the lack Of proof,
Byrnes had McGloin and the three
witnesses arrested, taking care that no
one of them should know that the
Others had been taken into custody. He
then occupied a room at police head
quarters, which was lined with glass
cases containing the relics of famous
crimes. One of these was filed with
the black caps and ropes which had
been used in the hanging of murderers
This case he had moved out into the
center of the floor so that it should be
the first thing upon which McGloin's
eye should rest as he entered the room.
Byrnes sent for him and met him
pleasantly at the door. Then he
took him to this case and told
him about each one OF the men
who had been hanged with the
ropes on exhibition. Then he
took McGloin over to q chair which
faced a window looking into q court

New York police is not only the graft
est living american IN this line. but he
stands preeminent among the detectives
and police managers of the world.
There is not a country with an organ
fzed law and order force on the globe
which does not consult him over knot
ty problems; there is no one man now
living, nor has one ever lived who has
built up such reputation for himself
among the law-abiding, or who has
created such a wholesome fear among
the criminal classes. Scores Of Grim
inals avoid New York as they would
avoid pestilential city for no other
reason than that he is in it; the bust
ness men of New York feel greater Sc
curity against robbers than do those Of
any other city in the world New
York's record OF robbery is notably
lower than that II any other great
community. and when the fact of
her extraordinary mixed popula-
ton = made up largely from the
very worst European classes is
taken into consideration the list
of murders in New York is amazt
ingly brief New York murders diff
fer materially from those committed in
London. In London most Of the kill
ings are the result of efforts to rob; in
New York ninety per cent. Of the fatal
crimes are deeds done in moments of
violent passion. Something more than
fifty per cent. of them are committed
in the Italian district, where the hot
blooded Neapolitans are quick to anger
and always have a knife or stiletto at
hand. This problem Of population is
one which has never faced police
officer so grimly as it has faced Super
intendent Byrnes. In other American
"'t.-- - same puzzle exists to some
extent, but no other American city has,
of course, SO large a number of the
foreign born, and no other city has SO
low class of them. The most thrifty
and industrious Of the immigrants pass
through New York to seek promising
fields OF labor elsewhere. 1t is the re-
