How the situation Is viewed at police
headquarters Is best expressed in the words
of Acting Captain McCauley. at the head
OF the detective bureau. The chief of de-
tecttves stated that 10 had been Informed
Of the robbery and that detectives were
working on the case.
Has the dead line been abolished?" was
asked of Captain McCauley.
why. there never was any dead line"
he answered but always every detective
has acted under the general instructions
OF this Office to arrest a crook wherever
he could be found. as a suspicious person"
When 1t was called to his attention that
the frequency Of the robberies In the
Maiden lane district was alarming the
merchants there, Captain McCauley said:
II admit that there have been robberies
there, and let me tell you that there will
be robberies committed after you and /
are dead"

as the cemetery will still testify. An old
man named Tuttle had charge Of that mel
ancholy but necessary institution, and his
price for digging graves was probably high
er than was paid anywhere else. He dug
30 many graves and charged so much for
them that he got rich and went back east.
He had record Of never having lost a dol
lar. He had very narrow escape once,
however. The story goes this way:
An honest miner known as "Nosey'
Jones, on account OF the prominence Of one
OF his features. lay on the edge Of eternity
for several days with malartal fever. The
doctors gave him up and told Jones' pard-
ner that they would not come again. and q
woman that had been fussing around the
cabin as nurse said there wasn't any use in

in. and remarked solemnly:

Yes. says Jones' pardner. II reckon
Wen have to bury him tomorrow"
Then I guess I'll dig the grave" said
Tuttle, and walked away.
BY the light of the moon he made a bad
for Jones In the bosom OF Mother Earth,
and before morning it was ell ready for
the funeral. But Jones never slept In 1t.
He began to pick up about daylight and
gradually grew stronger. until. within

futile came around with bill FOR the
to go to perdition. It was long and sx-

that he had dug the grave by. order Of
Jones' pardner. The latter repudlated any
obligation and Jones threatened to cut
Tuttles liver Into thin slices 4 he ever
brought that bill to him again. That awful
threat ended the controversy.
But futile was resourceful man. and q
few weeks later ANNOUNCED that ne intended

Alleged Violations Of Sunday Law,
The Sunday liquor cases from the Blad-

the people of that section Of the county
and residents OF Washington. Some OF the
defendants in the cases were former resi-
dents Of Washington. and, 1t is contended.
most of their patrons were from that city.
These prosecutions were instituted by rep
resentatives of the Anti-Saloon League, and
detectives from Baltimore will be the prtu-
cipal witnesses in the cases. 1t was In
these cases that Magistrate Carr said he
was opposed to the county being made the
dumping ground for certain classes OF peo-
ole from Washington.
