which contains $4,000 in brides for mem-
bers Of the house Of delegates"
The trust company's head, an old friend
Of the prosecutors, laughed.
Sorry, but l cant accommodate you, "
he said. That box is sacred to the
lessees."
Mr. Blank. asked Mr.. Folk. do you
realize that. by the confession Of two Of
the men who have deposited the money
here. bribery has been committed? Do
you realize that bribery is a crime7 Do
you realize that the bride money is in your
vaults-in your possession? And do you
realize that you are. therefore, an access
sorry to the crime Of bribery and can be
arrested and prosecuted and punished
therefor? ! shall do this very thing II you
don't open that box for US"
1t was stupendous bluffs maker had
to bluh-but it worked. Fifteen minutes
later the pale and shaking trust company
president led the way to the vaults. the
box was opened. and there lay SIS, OOO in
bride money before the very eyes Of the
circuit attorney and the three grand Jurors.
An hour later the same blun was worked,
but with more difficulty, at the bank which
was repository for $4,000 and the first
chain Of evidence was complete. which later
on was alarmingly amplihed by the confess
sions OF a fugitive, John K Murrell. and
by member Of the house OF delegates OF the
city council while under cross -e1amination
in the grand jury room.
How MIR. Folk Prepared for the Trial.
Then Mr.. Folk set to work studying Grim
inal law for eighteen and twenty hours a
day. 80 that he could be prepared TO meet
the onslaughts at the trials Of the famous
array Of legal talent that the defendants
had retained. This midnight toll had its
reward-the trial records show that when
ever this or that opposing legal light raised
a point the prosecutor successfully met 1t
with another always a little better.
Blum, unceasing work. q country court
experience and a determination mistaken
even by threats OF assassination and the
bitter knowledge that be would have to
work for the downfall Of friends-these are
the weapons which have caused Joseph W.
Folk, just turned 3s, to bring about the
biggest collapse Of a corrupt political ring
since Tweed was sent to jail, and which
have placed him in the foremost rank Of
the leading criminal lawyers of the day.
And yet, for all the reputation that has
come TO him within the last two years, he
is as modest and unassuming as in the days
when he was a green lawyer in little
Brownsville, Tenn, or when. a c~arefree
school boy, he played town ball on the COM
mons-which, according to Mr.. Folk, was
the only exciting event in his career until
he unearthed the Doodle gang Of st. Louis.

This is the season OF the year when the
Indian chiefs COM in from the reseFva-
lions TO see the Great Father. There are a
score OF them in Washington now. A group
OF half a dozen standing on the curb
watching an automobile recalled TO some
Texans who were passing the story Colonel
Bill Sterrett used 10 tell about the man
who went into the Indian territory to sell
baby carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. II was
admitted that there was a fine crop OF
babies in the territory. but no one could
see what the squaws, who were used TO
packing their offspring on their backs, could
do with baby carriages.
Still, orders began 20 come back. first
for dozens and then for carloads, and finally
Sterrett went up TO investigate. He went
into one of the Indian villages.
