They Are After Osborne.

che New York World of yesterday
says that Assistant District Attorney
Jtmes w. Osborne, brother of Mr..
frank l. Osborne, has been doomed to
ff1cial death by the police. They say
mat as soon as Tammany man is elect
ed IN place of District Attorney Philbin
Mr.. Osborne's career in his office will
end. The World adds:
"Mr. Osborne himself is a member Of
Iammany Hall, and until recently was
favorite in police circles MANY mem
bers of thespolice force, who had work
ed with him in obtaining evidence in
famous murder cases. We're among his
Warmest admirers. Police officials liked
to have their most important cases as
signed to him. because they knew his
ability and his untfring industry. Mr.
Osborne's qualification ceased to be ad-
mired, however, when he came to exer-
else them against Wardman Bissert
His course in that case would not have
provoked nearly so much resentment
had he not been looked upon as a loya
Tammany man. Policemen say wit!
much bitterness that he deserted his
best friends in their time of need, and
that he went out of his way in an at
tempt to disgrace the entire force"

Mr.. Abernethy Personally Honest.

A letter from Prof. A. T. Abernethy

KELLY TOUCHED
FOR HIS SAVINGS
Captain Of the ''Red Birds"
Lost 1920 by a Thief.
TAKEN FROM HIS TRUNK
A Negro Servant is Charged With
the Crime.
ARRESTED LAST NIGHT AND NOW IN JAIL
There Was Another Theft Of The Same Kind
Last Week at the Btanson House. Capt.
Kelly Returns From the Game 10
Find His Savings Gone.

Mr.. George w. Kelly who as King Kel
of the Raleigh ball team, has played ip
great good luck, has run up against .
piece of financial hard luck.
He has been robbed of 1920, and the
robbery occurred yesterday afternoon
whlle Mr.. Kelley was on the ball ground.
He had left the money in his trunk in
his room at the Branson House, both
room and trunk being locked.
When he returned everything appeared
as usual, but when he went in his trunk
for some clothing he found that the
money he had left there had disappeared.
1t was in nine $40 bills and eight IS bills.
In the trunk he had, among other things.
a silver watch and chain and $1.S5 in
silver -
Suspicion fell upon the negro porter Of
the Branson House. Charles Herndon, and
he was at once arrested, but denies all
knowledge of the robbery. Mr.. Kellt
sfeels certain that the thief was some one
ethat had access to the room and had pre-
ypared key with which to open the trunk
lit was fortunate thing for him that he
chad not cashed a check for $40 which he
ashad just received. as this money would
have gone also.
I In this connection another robbery
which took place at the Branson House
has also come to light. Mr.. F. w. Nc
Daniel of the Mcdaniel Orchestra, who
boards there, was last week robbed OF
: $40 and has been quietly endeavoring to
locate the thief. 1t is probable that both
robberies were done by the same party
( Mr.. Mcdaniel had left $50 and some
change in his pants pocket OF this SAC
in bills and the coins were in an army
pCcketbook in the hip pocket, while a
$40 bill was in another pocket. When he
examined his pcketboOk he found moth
ing left but the odd change.
The negro boy will be tried this morn
ing and there will be a full investigation
into the matter of the robbery There
was much sympathy expressed on the
streets for the heavy loss which has
come to Captain Kelly.
