to end this man to-day. The hackman took
McGraw and his friend to several saloons
near the Union Station. In all the saloons
McGraw called everyone in the house TO the
bar to drink with him. AT every oppor-
tunity he flashed his ROLL and the hack
man advised him to keep it in his pocket.
Just before McGraw went into the station
to take his train he showed his money again.
The three men walked together to the gates
and then the restaurant man. left she
other two. The hackman accompanied Me-
Graw, at the latters request, into the tram,
and sat down with him. When the train
started out the hackman dropped off. Al
Liberty street McGraw discovered that his
pocketbook was gone. The train was stop
ped, and McGraw went to the police sta
ton. He told his story to Detectives Asch
and Dugan, and the three went after the
hackman. They found lim at his usual
stand near the Union Station. The whole
party returned to the police station.
McCraw insisted that ne had Ielt the
hackman's hands in his pockets while he sat
with him in the car. Except at this point,
the stories of both the hackman and Me-
Graw were Identical. The hackman kept his
head, and all the sweating by the delec-
tiyes could not induce him to desert Is
story. McGraw said if he would return 500
to him he would dismiss the case. Inc
hackman'S clothing and his cab were
searched thoroughly but with no result.
Two hours had INTERVIEWED between the time
he left McGraw and the time the detectives
found him. The police have never been con-
cerned with Chopper before, and he has
wife and three children.

Then Charged Hickman CrOpper with
RObbing Him.

Detectives Asch and Dugan arrested w. S.
Chopper, hackman. whose stand has been
at the Union Station, on the charge of grand
larceny last night. ]. McGraw, of Column
bus, o., accused Chopper of stealing $110
from him on a train as it was about to pull
out for Columbus at 7:2O O'Clock last night
Chopper denied all knowledge of McGraw's
loss, and the detectives became dubious
enough about the case to allow McGraw to
make an affidavit against the hackman, in
stead of locking him up without a warrant
as they would have done had they been
sure of their man.
McGraw came here and drew a sum of
money from an accident insurance company
He started out to enjoy himself, and the
hackman met him Thursday night He told
the hackmon he would see him again, and
last night they met on South Illinois street
McGraw drunk. He was with a man
who at one time owned a restaurant on
Washington street. The detectives expect

seek his wife again and make sure of killing
her. There does not appear TO have been
any truth in the statement that Tyler had
threatened to kill his wife if he were re-
leased. The attorney general thinks, also.
that he undoubtedly would have been con-
victed of his crime The report. however,
that Tyler was making threats appears to
have been circulated by the wifes friends.
She was herself examined, and testified that
she had been afraid that her husband would

do you think a sure remedy for lynchings
can be secured%' the attorney general was
asked.
Yes, in addition to what the Governor
has suggested with regard to making the
counties liable to the relatives of men who
suffer by mob violence, / think the Legis-
lature should pass law making it a msde-
meanor for any sheriff to permit mobs to
take prisoners from his custody. Then let it
be provided that when ne is guilty of SO
doing his office may be declared vacated.
Knowing that to permit mobs to carry of
his prisoners would result in his losing his
office, Mr.. Taylor thinks. would have the
effect of making sheriffs Drawer in protect
