7. d. CAgney. = ticket broker, OF 30l Broad

He told Magistrate Crane that on Friday even
ing Strong came into his once ana sold three
tickets on the Pennsylvania Railroad for So to
his brother. When Cagney examined the tickets
his brother had purchased he found that they
were illsgible and blurred and that two of them
bore the same number. lie suspected that they
were forgeries, and. hurryinR out on Broadway.
he found Strong coming from another brokers
office and brought him back to his place. There
Strong returned tho So and he gave hun back
his tickets. Several other ticket brokers who
had heard OF the affair ran into Cagney's ofico
and demanded that Strong return them their
money.
Cagney declared that he believed Strong was
employed by n traffic association which II wRg-
Ing In Congress and also one at Albany making
It. against the Law for scalpers to sell railroad
tickets AT cut rates He declared that II was
tho scheme Of tho association to have Strong
and then cause their arrest for having them In

Rrnphed over the country would go far toward
the pas are OF the pending bill, and he declared
StrOng's other victims, and had offered to repay

MOST UNNATURAL CASE,
A WOman's Mother and Her Own
Daughter Conspire to Send Hus-

They Spend Fifteen Years in Penal
Servitude.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 3.-Jere
Meyers and Mary E. Myers, his wife,
an aged white couple, were released
from the state penitentiary today,
where for fifteen years they have un-
justly suffered, as the result of a moth
er's infamy and daughters perjury.
Meyers was a respectable farmer fifteen
years ago. He married a widow, and
hermother and eleven year old daugh-
ter lived with him. One day the girl
swore out a warrant charging her step
father with a criminal assault. Her
testimony at the trial implicated her
mother. and Meyer and wife were sent
to the penitentiary for life. A search
was recently made and after several
months the girl was located in south
ern Alabama. On examination she
made statement that she had under
threats of her grandmother sworn
falsely at the trial of her mother
and step-father. 1t was on her testi-
mony alone that the couple had been
convicted and Governor johnson i'm
mediately gave them a pardon.
