POWER OF SPEECH RETURNED
A Prominent Man Of Near Gaines
vile Goes Through a Strange
Experience.

John p. Cole, prominent citizen
of Roberts district, in the southern
part of Hall county, has had an eX-
perience which not many men of this
country have ever passed through.
He woke one night from a healthful
and refreshing sleep to discover with
horror that he had lost the power OF
speech almost entirely. He had had
no ailment of throat or vocal organs
and the physicians, many of whom he
has consulted, have never discovered
the cause of his strange affection.
For two years and three months he
never spoke a word above a whisper,
and speech in the fainteSt whisper was
a most painful effort.
For two years he was lndlsposed,
and while lying upon a pallet at his
home just at Y O'Clock his speech re
turned in full power and clearness.
The return of the power to talk was
as mysterious as the loss had been
previously and as inexplicable by the
medical fraternity. The first use OF
his regained speech was in a spon-
taneouS song. file has talked easily
and clearly every since.

But this was not the most valuable
information cleaned from "Hoosier
BILL He let me into the secret of the
identity Of the more active and impor-
tant members of the Biebush gang.
"Hankey" Thielen and John Sullivan,
he said, were two of "Old Fred's" most
trusted lieutenants. serving as Doodle
carriers and go-betweens in the deliv-
cry of "coney" for their chief to the
persons with whom he elected to do
business. Thielen, in addition to his
supernumerary services to Biebush in
circulating bad money, was G manu-
facturer Of silver money, according to
my informant.
Bridges did not know just where the
Thielen plant was located, nor, in fact,
was it ever located, although we had
good reason to believe it was on the
bank of the Mississippi river, above
st. Louis. 1t was Bridges understand
ing of the operations of the band that
Thielen made the silver-plated coins
from dies cut by one Joseph Hargate,
an English engraver, who also did a
legitimate engraving and die-cutting
business in small shop at his home
.
Concerning Sullivan, however, Hoo
sier Bill had more definite knowledge
He was colored coachman in the en-
Dloy of DR. A. S. Barnes, at No. 3013
Easton avenue, and, believe, the only
colored man who ever rose to a posi-
ton OF any prominence among "koni-
ackers." He was fully trusted by Bic
bush and was credited by my inform
ant with much native cunning. Later
l also was prepared to credit him with
much prudence in the conduct Of his
criminal operations, as the following
incident will Indicate:
Long after my talk with Bridges and
while was still at work on the case
a colored coachman named Jackson
came to my Office one day and asked
If l wanted hiIs to buy some counter
felt money for me, that he was able
to get all he wanted. l asked him
from whom he could get it and he
answered from Sullivan I commits
stoned him to make deal with Sulli-
van, and l have every reason to be-
lieve that he tried in good faith to
do so, but he failed, Sullivan each time
putting him off at the last moment.

anxious to initiate Gallagher into the
secret ring, a plan which had been
checked by Blebush himself.
While the information l received
from Bridges was of great value as in
dicating the personnel of the band and
the respective functions OF each mem
Der, 1t had not given us any positive
proof, and legal proof was all we want
ed. 1t still remained for us to find a
way to prove what we knew. In the
face of our failure to rope Biebush
up to that time it seemed like we
would have to start farther back and
get some of his subordinates in such
tight place that they would allow them
selves to be used as witnesses against
their chief in order to save themselves.
Informers in criminal cases are of two
kinds-voluntary and involuntary.
Voluntary informers are usually
prompted by motives of revenge or Pc
cuniary gain--more often the former.
Involuntary informers are usually the
smaller fry in criminal band who are
willing to furnish evidence against the
leading criminals under promise they
will be leniently dealt with as re-
ward, but they must first be caught in
the tolls themselves Because such
principals in big criminal conspiracies
at Fred Biebush, for their own safety,
turn over to subordinates the perform
ance of the tangible acts, the subordi-
| mates in an extensive plot like a coun-
terfeiting job may be caught and con-
victed and their places always filled,
the execution of the plot not being ma
| terially interfered with. When it is
recalled that the paramount function
of the United States secret service is
| to protect the currency and bonds OF
the government it will be seen how
eminently proper it is to compromise
with petty crime by subordinate, II
by so doing the authorities can catch
the big fellows and stop the perpetra-
tion of the one big crime. Therefore
an informer who was close enough to
| Biebush to be able to furnish convict
ing evidence against him was what
we sadly needed
And let me say now that most effec-
tive detective work consists in being
able to find the right kind Of informers.
I know full well that detectives gen.

he was busy circulating brass, silver

coins could not be olassed as clever

fleet appearance, but being noticeably
light in weight. He was also circulat-

issue of bills was struck from the prin-
cipal plate, Part Of this issue would
be run through the press on one Of

vision has been brought to bear on the

be the most likely to sacrifice their SUI

all my energies were bent in this di-
rection. The men were communicative

of not overmuch intelligence. Woods

Bridges said that soon after he first
became acquainted with Biebush he
met him on Sunday while the latter
was on his way to Sunday school, the
old fellow always maintaining an atti
tude of much apparent responsibility in
these matters. Biebush said to him:
up to this time l have taken you
at your word; have you any refer
ences?"
Plenty of them," answered Bill"
do you know Joe Butts and John
O'Brien?" asked Biebush. Both of these
were notorious criminal characters.
Sure" said Bridges, and then pro-
coded to convince Biebush that he had
such wide and close acquaintance
with noted criminals as to render him
fit for initiation into the Biebush ring
Biebush thereupon turned him over
to Sullivan, showing the great conf
dence he had in the colored man. From
Sullivan "Hoosier Bill" got several
packages of half dollars, 40 in pack
age, and three rolls of bills of 500
representative money each. These he

gate, however, were not the only men,
bers Of the Biebush ring about whom
"Hoosier Bill' gave me information.
There were William Whalen and Harry
Wood, showers, and John Evans and
Mrs. Annie WEIGH, also showers, but on
smaller scale.
Bridges was willing to go to ST. Louis
to serve as witness against Biebush
if the latter were tried; but in this we
seemed to be cut off squarely by the
Missouri statute previously referred to
as one of Biebush's chief sources of
security, prohibiting convicts or ex-
| conyicts from testifying.
