Last Saturday afternoon there was
something doing at lhe Park for quite Il
long time. LondcOI.ing and the Cham
piOus, i'll game that was rcplete with
good fast playing, very nearly broke the
record for long, hard-fought contest in
this or any other section. For 81 in
nings the game went nip-aud- with
ont either side scoring, though both
clubs time and time again had men on
base with good prospects of crossing the
home plate.
Weaver and Henry Were the battery
for the visitors and Weaver certainly did
well from first to last.
Henry did excellent work behind the
bat, and some of his catches of foul flies
We're sensational.
The team behind Weaver played an
Excelsior game at every stage.
For the Champs Bertram was the
bright particular star of the constel-
lation. His work on the rubber was of
the highest high-Class and BOuthOrn,
catcher gave him commensurate sup
port.
The men behind Bertram, like their
antagonists. put up the greatest game
ever seen around here.
Every man of both teams acquitted
himself with distinction.
There was little or no wrangling.
Mr.. Keenan, umpired and his decisions
generally Were satisfactory.
In the last half of the 22d inning the
single, solitary run was scored after two
men Were out. Coggins, first man up,
hit to short and was promptly thrown
out at first. William Spates, next,
went ont on a fly to Henry. Newton
hit safe one between short stop and
third, and was safe on first. Bertram,
next, had two strikes and Newton made
break for second. Henry threw to
Reed and the ball and runner came to
gether. Malone, center. fielder, had
come i'll to back up Reed at second, and
the ball bounded far out in center field
over Malone's head. Malone secured
the ball and threw home too late, as
Newton had scored amid much en-

around the visitor.
Before he had taken a step toward the
guilty pair, Truxton snatched revolver
from his desk and fired at him point
blank. He side-stepped SO quickly that
he wasn't hit Truxton then separated
himself from the woman and backed
quickly into a corner behind the desk
thus protecting his body to the height
of his chest.
Watson then drew his pistol-he car
ried it when going about with lot OF
money to pay off. Before he could fire
Truxton fired again and hit him in the
left shoulder He ree1ed, but fired, and
Truxton fell like an OK.
After telling me all this, Watson threw
off his coat, and sure enough there was
an ugly wound in his shoulder. The
bullet was found fattened against
bone, and when extracted proved to be
the missing one. Watson's plain story
reversed all our theories and demon
strated the value of few simple facts.
This settled the question as to the
murder, but threw no light upon the
stealing of the money. | knew perfectly
well that Casey had stolen it from the
desk Watson saw it there, had left 1t
there when he went out, and his wife had
run out before him. There was no proof
against Casey, however. There was time
enough for a dozen men to enter and leave
the place before he arrived there and
reported the murder His suspicion of
Watson was natural enough because he
knew all about the bad feeling between
tho two mon and itc cause
And now came one of the special
devices or tricks of the Third Degree
the special device or trick which must be
devised to meet the conditions of the
special case and which entirely depends
upon the ingenuity of the detective.
We found out ali about Casey's mode
of life, his habits, the places he frequented
when off duty, and his friends. This told
us nothing, that is nothing directly. |
sent for the paying-teller who cashed the
check, to find out in what money it
was paid There was one five hundred
dollar bill, some hundreds, the rest small.
The five hundred-dollar bill helped us.
1t was not a new bill, the paying-teller
remembered. 1t had a peculiar rusty
mark, such as would come from wrapping

way down the white and yellow back
on one side. l asked the teller to prepare
me a similar five hundred-dollar bill,
using a small paint-brush, as nearly as
possible like the one described. 1t was
merely a venture, but it was the only
opening l had been able to find.
l knew perfectly well that if Casey had
stolen the money he had noticed the
mark on the bill | knew that he would
try to get rid of it in soneway that detled
tracing. He was a clever man, and he
would know that the best and safest way
was through bookmaker. All bills
that can in anyway be identified go to
bookmakers, because their money goes
in and out and to and fro so rapidly and
through so many hands that it defies

from his winning big bet on Carrie NJ

established, and we knew that he usually

picion. Bookmakers will always pro-
tect their clients.

This is the much discussed, much
criticized Third Degree" Never has 1t
done injustice to the innocent. The an
tagonism between the criminals attack
upon society and the defense always
finds the latter at a disadvantage; and,
as a representative of the defense,

ideas to meet emergencies old
belief that a detective can sit down IN
a corner and dream out a solution to a
complicated and mysterious case of
crime is nonsense. Too often, one has to
rely upon getting evidence from the one
person in all this world who least wants
to give 1.-THE criminal himself. This is
