Revise the judicial System
Puts Questions to Law
yers.

Lawyers throughout the city and State
have received letters asking for brief re-
plies 10 questions submitted by the com
mission appointed TO report TO the Legis-
latnre method Of improving the judicial
system ana the system Of procedure.
The commission consists of former Cav
ernors John W. Griggs and Franklin
Murphy, former Supreme Court Justice
Bennet Van Syckle. Charles T. Corbin
and John r. Hardin. the latter being the
secretary The questions follow:
q. Are you in favor of an independent
Court of Last Resort, and how many
judges should this court contain? Should
this court be constituted as an Appellate
Division of Supreme Court-the other
divisions of which would be the Law Di
vision and Chancery Division?
50 Are you in favor of uniting the Su
preme Court and the Court of Chancery
as one court, with one set of judges. part
of whom shall be assigned to the Law
Division to hear law cases, with all the
powers now exercised by the Supreme
Court, and others assigned to the Cham
Gerry Division with the powers now vest
ed in the Court of Chaneery; the law pro-
cedure and practice. and the equity pro-
cedure and practice being retained sub
stantially as it now exists?
''The purpose of such change being to.
prevent unnecessary delay and expense
where d suit is commenced on the law
side of the court, when it includes sub
jeet of equitable jurisdiction, and vice
versa; and to enable the court more read
iIyto transfer the case to the proper jur-
isdietion, to be there conducted in ae-
cordance with the appropriate procedure.
This question is based upon the assump,
ton that the amendment viii be 50 fram-
ed as 10 practically present. both the law
and equity jurisdiction to be exercised
separately with the well understood pow
ers and procedure now applicable to each
court, when the action is exclusively le-

prison, trade which he may fol-
low when Ee bids farewell to tbs

Mccarthy will spend part of
his time in prison writing story
of his adventures, which will be
printed in book form, and from
the public interest which attaches
to the business of blowing and
robbing safes, the hook ought to

fDr the signal from the outside.
1t is gwen and the explosion takes
place IN the lock box on the inside,
breaking the lock and sometimes
forcing off the hinges. The oper-
alton of bio owing the safe requires
just certain amount, FOR too
heavier charge OF glycerine
might knock off the handle and
jam the door and give trouble.
Once the outside door is off then
the yeggmcn turn their attention
to the inside sheet door, which
is called the 'keister' in the Ian,
guage of tho safe blowers. This
is the hardest door to open, and
the blowers are sometimes at their
wits ends to getou the inside. A
hole is drilled nnI the explosive is
Inserted. Another explosion
takes place, and probably only
one sneot of metal comes off. A
bolt is loosned or knocked out
of place, and into this opening
another charge of glycerino Is in
serted, and the operation is CON
tinued, until the door is finally
down and the cash drawer Is ri
fed.
"The work of blowing Il safe
requires about an hour and half,
and Immediately ut its conclusion
the gang makes off as soon rs
possible. We strike across coun-
try unless, a convenient freight
train passes, never, however,
dividing the booty until day light
on the next morning. Some
times we have to bury the treas
ure, or part of 1t, and the tools
have to be hidden some times,
too. When we take the train we
never ride more than about TWEEN
ty. five miles, when we then strike
across country, putting further
distance between us and our pur
suers. In hnrying the tool bag
or treasure, we always carefully
select tho place, making it easy
of finding upon our return.
"Dodging bloodhounds is done
by attachinga small piece of cloth,
saturated with the oil of mustard
to the heels of our shoes. We
used to use vaseline with iodoform
but the trouble about this drug ls
that we could not get the smell off
our clothes when we wanted to do
80. The oil of mustard is now used
to advantage. In dodging officers
we have Il merry time of it some
times being ofteu forced to face
the music. 1t all depends upon
the character of the man or men
at the head of the posse.
Mccarthy could not help but
smile as he thought of some town
marshals who have stood IN door
ways when fired upon, and upon
the yeggmen getting out of the
way of harm, thon firing their
guns in the air, making great
profession of earnestness and
vigilance to hold their jobs. Nc
Carthy can tell some interesting
things Of what town officers have
failed to do, but this is not hls
business, or inclination at this
time.

through any lack of efficiency in

Of the sparcely settled condition
comparatively speaking, and the
"open character of tho county,"
which enables the yeggmeu TO
easily make their escape, after a
"job, as the operation of break
ing and robbing Il safe is termed.
In the more thickly settled com
munities Of the North and West,
tie robbers run great chances of
arrests, and when they find an
easy mark they naturally work it,
and this Is why there have been 30
manv safes blown and robbed in
South Carolina during the past
few years.
"rhe first thing We do when
we reach our base of operations"
said Mccarthy, sis to secure II
Grams map, giving tho names
and location Of banks in our vi
entity, for we always try to pro-
ceed intel]igently In our work,
and the banks are more inviting
than postoffices. A job is usually
done by four men, although some
times there may be three, but
four Mt least is almost necessary
for successful operation. When
we secure the map, we study the
railroad time tables and the gen.
eral Typographical features of the
immediate section We select
the bank and one or more Of the
gang will 60 scouting to see that
the job can be safely pulled OF.
The police protection of the town
is investigated, and attention is
given to the movements of trains
and general avenues of escape, as
we'll rs u place where we may
safely meet before beginning
work. "A man will go into the
bank or postoffice to have u bill
changed that be might survey the
location of things and as the
scouting is most important
part of the job, it is always care
fully attended to, some times two
or three days being devoted to
this work. The scout returns to
the base, and acquaints the party
of his investigation, and if his re-
port IS favorable, time is then
fixed for the Job and arrangements
made accordingly.

six inches long and a half inch in
diameter, ctumble it in a piece of
cloth, and then place it suspended
in can of warm water. We
keep constantly renewing the
warm water, which gives tho oper

'One man will carry the bottle
of glycerine and the tools, which
consist of few cakes of soap,
drills and Implements, but gener-
ally speaking, we do not laden our
selves with tools, for we always
find blacksmith's shop, or a
railroad section house at some
point convenient to the job. which
we break open and get the brace,
sled2e hammer and a few chisels
or crowbars to prize tho outside
door of the bank or postoffice and
then to operate with on the bank
or vault.
"ln going to the place we all
do not go together. One or two
will make some other point near
by, that the suspicious of the con
ductnr and train crew may not be
excited. We drop off the
train as near together, however,
as we can and then we make the
point of rendezvous, generally in
the woods at some point already
agreed upon.
"The time of operating is be-
tween midnight and 2 O'Clock in
the morning. We time ourselves
to begin work about IL O'Clock.
The first thing we do, upon com
ing ftom under cover, is to take @
stroll through the streets about
the bank or postoffice. We look
carefully. 1t may he necessary to
catch a watchman, gag him and
tie him up, but watchmen like to
sleep when every thing gets quiet,
and Things are quiet IN the aver
age country town ut midnight.
We get the tools, and if our kcys
do not fit the locks we then break
open the door and reach the safe
or vault. Two men stay on the
outside to watch, while the other
two, with an electric flash light,
or dark lantern, get to work on
the safe. The importance of the
men on the outside is shown by
the breakers waiting on their
signal for the blowing of the safe.
When the holes have been drilled
and prepared for blowing it is
tie men on the outside who give
the signal for the act, on the prln-
ciple that if any suspicious move
ment of an officer or neighbor has
been noted, the noise of the ex-
plosion may be deferred until
things again become quiet. The
report of glycerine is sharp;and
quick noise which especially CON-
mends its use, for hardly does it
take place than 1t is all over and
if it should be heard by any oody
in the neighborhood, they soon
turn over in their beds and 60
back to sleep, believing that they
dreampt of the report.
GA safe is u pete in the par>
lance of yeggmen. The two men
on the inside get down on their
knees before it and begin work.
They thoroughly soap the crevices
of the outside door, and then be-
gin to drill the hole for the cotton
saturated with the gIycerine. The
