 Detectives.

He said that Red Boyd and Harris Harrison were not implicated as far as he remembered. The warrant charging Matthews with robbing McElroy was sworn out before Justice Benners and is returnable before Judge Greene.

MANY CROOKS HERE.
Pickpockets and Other Smooth Artists
 Here for the Crowds.

During the past few days a number of crooks have arrived in Birmingham, and for the next few weeks they will continue to be frequent callers here. The Elks' Charity Circus and the Street Fair at Ensley are the drawing cards. They hope to fleece the visitors to those entertainments.
 They have already shown them selves in several ways. The three smooth games worked on men coming into the city on trains and the robbery Tuesday night are evidences of the visitors.
 ~ The already too small and too hard worked police force will have its hands full protecting the citizens Chief Aus tin will probably issue orders to the men to be particularly watchful for pickpockets and confidence men, as both classes are known to be in the city.

 Have you been put to any disadvan- tage in making this settlement by reason of the burned books?"

I feel that I should not do anything on account of the humiliation these defend ants have suffered. nor on account of the effect of the sentence on their wives be- cause that is necessarily an accompani- ment of any sentence which is proper and just.
