BOUNDING A MAN


After ten years faithful service as
cashier in a department store in Paris
CASTOR lie Roy had been found guilty
Of embezzlement A sum OF money
amounting to about $500 was missing
and could not be accounted for. he
protested his innocence, and he offered
to make the amount good from his saw
ings, but the police had got hold OF the
matter and refused to let it drop, The
police OF France more than any other
country hold that a person who Is
charged with an offense against the
law is guilty 1t Is not for the law to
prove him SO, but for him to prove his
innocence They said to the cashier;
you have had charge of the funds
in this store A sum of money is miss
ing, and you cannot account for ii. 1t
therefore follows that you embezzled
1t. At any rate, you must prove In
court that you did not"
Neither the proprietors Of the store
nor the cashiers friends believed him
guilty. There was slip somewhere,
a mistake; some one had seized oppor-
tunity to gobble on to the notes, but
the police took him away and contend
ed that he must prove that some one
guilty In order to secure his own lib
erty. The young man was sent to pris-
on for a year and his reputation ruined
forever. He did not think so when be
emerged. Strong in the consciousness
Of his innocence, be returned to Paris
with the determination to begin anew.
The old nrm could not take him back,
bot they eavs him . recommendatioa.
and he soon secured empaoyment ssse-
where. Within q wssk the police ap-
peared and said - bis employer:
You have q man In your employ who
could not prove bis innocence Of .
theft. You must discharge him. II
you do not you will be encouraging
crime
Young lie Roy was discharged.
He wandered out into the country
and secured employment on a farm.
The work was hard and the pay poor,
but he was living an honest life when
a police Official appeared and insisted
that he be instantly discharged. He
was even threatened with arrest and
punishment for defying the law.
That was the end The ex-convict
headed for Paris with murder In his
heart In half an hour his mind had
been made to turn criminal and be-
come terror to the law. On reaching
the city he made for the haunts of
vice, and inside of month the police
heard from him.
lie Roy was LIE Roy no longer He
was Jaritz. In two years he com
mitted fifty robberies single handed.
Then he became the leader Of band,
and murder was added to robbery. 1t
was always the police who were the
victims. In one year ten Paris police
men were stabbed to death. No one
suspected that Jaritz was the ex-
cashier under another name, and no
one could account for this singular
hatred of the police The best de-
tective talent In the country was en-
ployed to hunt the man down, but he
escaped every snare laid for him. As
fast as member Of his band was
taken he took on another recruit They
were to assist In the robberies, but
the killing was reserved for his own
hand.
Jaritz ran career Of four years,
and during that time the killing OF
fifteen policemen was laid at his door.
The value Of his plumber for the same
time was estimated at three-quarters
Of million dollars. Then the mans
logic forced him to realize that the
end could not much longer be delayed
Half q hundred detectives were look
Ing for him, and the rewards offered
for his apprehension footed up over
$4,000. Some Of his band were GER
tain to betray him to secure this re
ward. When he had made up his mind
what to do he distributed his property
among the hospitals under another
name and took a house In the Rue vint
nor.
1t was q tumble down house In {
wretched street and just where tn,
police would look to find him. Their,
was a first and second floor, and en-
trance could be had to the second stor,
by way of second old rookery ane
the windows. On taking possession
of the place Jaritz sawed the stairs il
two and propped them up in such
way that he could pull the prop ava,
with rope. When the stairs wen
crashing down into the cellar whoeyel
was on them at the time must NEE
with a terrible fall. After week b,
sent boy to give him away to tn,
police. The lad claimed to have has
his suspicion aroused and to hav,
watched the house for week. III,
was sure that 1t was Jaritx hidin,
there. He told the police Of the ap
proach by the windows. and at ,
O'Clock in the afternoon a detachmen
Of forty men suddenly surrounded tn,
place.
Ten Of them rushed into the neighbor
ing house to force the entrance. Jarit,
met them and shot two and then re
treated with words Of defiance. Ths
ezght men rushed him back to tn,
