ONE MORE OF "PoKER's"
"Scar-Faced Kid" Arrested-The Vic
tim Out of Sight

Jerry Collins, alias Scar Faced Kid"
was arrested last night by Detective
Hawley on a charge of grand larceny.
The detectives had been looking for him
for several weeks and Hawley happened
to meet him on the street. Knowing
that Detective Goodman had q warrant
for his arrest, Hawley locked him up.
The prisoner Is a member of the "Po-
ker" Davis coterie and the charge
against him is the outcome of one more
successful effort on the part of that gang

Woods, who claims to have come from
Illinois and who is old enough to know
better, was their victim. Woods story
is the same old one told so many times
before by victims of the gang. He
came here to see the country and Incl
dentally to regain his health. He was
met on the street by Collins who gave
him some other name. The usual invi-
tation to call at Collins office was ex-
tended and accepted because Collins
seemed such a nice man." as the victim
expressed 1t. Upon arriving there sew
eral other men were found engaged in

the game. 1t was innocent enough at
the start. 1t always is, but as the in

good hand. The limit came off in a
hurry and he backed the hand for the
extent of his pile, $40 and then gave a
check on an eastern bank for $50 and
lost of course. This was all there was to
it. The check was collected and 1t did
not occur to Woods for some time that
he had been robbed. Then he appealed
to the police and warrant was issued
for Kids" arrest, but the latter had
left the city. He was caught last night
as stated. In the meantime Woods has
left the city and the detectives do not

fluence with Henry was so great that
the religion might return, to the coniu-
sion Of Cranmer. Something must be
done, and the queens past life was the
solution. When Henry read tho paper
he was furiously angry, not at Catharine
but her accusers. And he ordered
rigid examination. The truth came out.
When Henry heard it he burst into tears
before his council; but there was moth
ing but death for the unfortunate queen.
The king must be free. So Cranmer,
who had made and unmade three mar
riages, led his second queen to the block.
"Henry's last wife, Catharine Parr,
married him against her will. She had
been twice a widow, her first husband
having left her widow and heiress at
Is. Her second, Lord Latimer, was
hardly dead when Henry came to ask
her to marry him. She had other suit
ors, but they all withdrew, and as usual
the king had his way. She was gentle
woman, who was strong factor in the
lives of his children, giving them the
benefit of her fine education and good
judgment, and when Henry died he left
her most happy widow.
