TRICKS OF CRIMINALS

War In Which They Oftsa Escape from

The strangers grip is another trick
which some men practice. though not
very often with success, rs the police
know it and watch for it. The dodge
is usually tried by prisoner who ap-
pears exceedingly submissive and will
ing to go quietly" But II the police
man is thrown of his guard, the cap
tive knows he Is safe. With . rapid
movement to the side, he springs on
tho officer. partly from behind, and
throws his right arm round the con-
stables neck, SO that the inner side Of
the elbow presses on the windpipe.
Then with sharp pressure he tight
ems the arm, grasps his left hand
round his right wrist, and jerks Is
hard rs he can. II he is anyway ex-
pert, and has time to get his arm firm
" set in the right position, it is Ill

how powerful he may be. he will not
break the murderous grip, and his TOO
Is practically out Of reach. Less than
. minute is usually enough to produce
total unconsciousness, and long before
that stage is reached the constable is
1T the mercy Of the rufiian whose A.
rest he had accomplished.
There is yet another ruse which Is
often tried, and now and again sue
ceeds- A constable grabs his man by
thes coat-collar, and = moment later
finds himself possessed Of the coat,
while the owner is vanishing in his
shirt sleeves The trick, however, Is
generally foiled by the police, who
know it well, and who also know that
thieves occasionally wear coats will,
sleeves so loosely sewn in that separa-
ton is easy and escape easy also.
Hence It is that the police-who are
carefully taught such little details
land othcrs) generally take exceeding
care that the fingers Of the hand are
inserted between the neck and the
shirt, thumb being warnin9ly placed
against the captive's windpipe, which
can be used effectively if required.
These arc but very few of the favor.

classes and the police, and both are al

ments of real danger. And II, after
all, now and then IN innocent man suf-

PEARSON, THE ACROBAT.

Mr.. S. #. Chapman, chairman OF the
Democratic Executive committee OF
the Ninth district, reviews Richmond
Pearson's silver record in a strong afS
ticle in the Asheville Gazette. lie
shows from Pea1son's acts and letters
that he is: % opposed to free coinage;
(2l i'm favor of it. To a certain gold
bug Democrat Pearson wrote on Au-
gust 18th: 81 wish to say to you that /
never advocated the unlimited and
independent coinage of silver" And
vet he is begging Populist votes to
send him back to Congress, and prom
inent Populists say he has written q
letter declaring that if elected he will
vote for free coinage at 16 to /. Is it any
wonder that the Populists of Bum
combe, his home county,. who know
him best, repudiate the deal made in
Raleigh by which Pearson, with other
goldbugs were to be sent to Congress A.?
lis it any wonder that Major Guthrie,
the Populist candidate for Governor,
speaking at Rutherfordton, said:
II want to warn my Populist
friends against voting for goldbugs
for Congress, or for a man for the
Legislature who win vote for gold
bug for United States Senator.
want TO tell my Populist friends
i'm Rutherford county and in the
Ninth district, that they hold the
balance of power, and it is their
duty as true silver men to vote for
honest 10. Adams, of Buncombe
county. against that goldbug can
didate, Richmond Pearson, who is
to-day going all over North Caro-
lima trying to foment strife i'm the
ranks of the Populist party. He is
not the friend of you Peoples party
men, and you should not give him
Peoples party vote in the Ninth
district"
