gar, and remarked that he always had more trouble getting the truth out of q woman than d man.
 "A few years ago a Buffalo woman, who was known to us as a member of a fake injury syndicate, put in a claim for $50,000 against us for alleged par alysis of all her limbs" continued the detective. She pretended that her spine had been ,jerked out of kilter in little one-horse wreck down in Tennessee.
 T was positive that the woman was as sound as a dollar, but I couldn't prove it. So I had to move to Buffalo and camp on her trail. Finally I man. aged to strike up an acquaintance with another woman who was on very inti- mate terms with the supposed para lyzed one.
 I professed to be a member of d band of personal injury grafters out in Chicago, of whom she knew something. and showed such an extensive knowl- edge of the gang that she believed me. Of course she wanted me to meet her friend, the paralytic, the first thing, and I was for it strong. She gave me a very effusive letter of introduction and I started out on the warpath. When I found the wo- man l wanted she was propped up in bed 
 and was certainly doing the helpless act to perfection When I sprung the letter she warmed up, and we were soon
 merrily discussing our experiences in
 taking various kinds of falls out of railroad treasuries. When I arose to go I suggested that
 her friends in Chicago might like to | read little note from her. which l would be pleased to deliver within a | couple of days. Never suspecting for | a moment, she hopped jaunti1y out of
 bed and dashed off a few lines in nc l time.
 Then I sprung my detectives badge
 on her and she suddenly became the | most active woman l ever saw. She | made break for a gun, but I pulled l first and had her in a cell in less than an hour.
 She was arrested not long ago in | Chicago for trying to flim-flam another l railroad.

 @The chief detective of the great sSuthern Railway system had ad- j6urned to the smoking compartment of the Pullman for final cigar before he climbed into his upper berth He had just finished a job of clever sieutning and was in talkative mood' which quickly brought the half dozen other smokers to attention.

 T hadnt been wearing railroad Eumshoes very long before I was turned loose on a case where six teen year old boy wanted $100-000 damages because he waS deaf and dumb as a result of a railroad acci- dent.
 q worked on the case for two years, postponed from one term of court to another, until finally 1t had to be tried. The sum total of my knowl- edge was that the boy hadn't spoken nor apparently heard a word for two years.
 .'on tho morning of the trial I ad- vfsed the ceh4pany's lawyers to settle for s25,00o, Which they offered to do The plaintiff's lawyers refused the offer so tho case was called.
 ''The evidence was so completely one-sided that the case would cer- tainly have been finished and gone to the jury before night, but at noon got an idea. I thought that if we had one moro day, something might turn up to aid us. I conferred with the companys lawyers, and at about noon the hour when the case was ready for the jury our leading attor- ney was taken suddenly Ill. The judge had no alternative but to ad- Journ the court until the next day.
 ''That night I went to the plaintiff s counsel and explained that we were ready to settle, but wanted to make a physical examination of the boy first He had no objections, so we rented a room in the local hospital and took the boy there.
 We put him on an operating table around which were gathered four white coated, white whiskered men al legged to be eminent surgeons, but in reality the companys' lawyers.
 "After bearing the youth bosom over the heart, the chief surgeon grabbed an ugly looking knife, and solemnly said:
 Brethren. there Is just about one chance in a hundred that the patient will survive the operation. Are you willing to take the chance?"
 We are answered the others.
 .'The words were hardly spoken be- fore the boy let out a yell and cried For Gods sake don't kill me-
 'HThen he snapped his jaws together and became dumb again, but the few words he had said were mighty costly for him. for his lawyer immediately threw up the sponge and asked for the dismissal of the case the next morn lng."

 Docket Today.

Grand and petit juries were yester- day morning organized by Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States Court for the Middle District of Ala bama.
 After the sensational charge made at Huntsville by Judge Jones and his equally much talked of trip to Wash ington, something out of the ordinary was expected in his charge to the grand jury. Spectators who went into the court room to hear such a charge were disappointed. The charge was brief and merely dealt with the duties of the jurors, from whom they should receive evidence, and the other usual recom- mendations. The grand jury, which was only elev- en strong after the first venire was exhausted was filled according to or ders of the court by Marshal L. J. Bry- an from the body of the circuit. Joe Robinson. a well known planter from High Shoals, Randolph County was appointed foreman. The member ship of the grand jury and the home county of each one is as follows: J. B. Benbow, Crenshaw; A. E. Tucker, Cham bers; R. NJ. Mcqueen, Lowndes; G. W. Myrick, Montgomery; W. T. Bradley, Randolph; T. J. Moseley, Coffee; w. A. Roberts, Randolph; w. T. Beck Crepshaw; E. s. Newman, Fillmore; Joe Robinson, Randolph w. M. Browder Montgomery; J. c. Thomas, Autauga Harry Faber, Montgomery; w. E. El- | more, Montgomery; Thomas Mastin Montgomery; Edgar Winter. Montgom- cry; D. F. Mccall, Montgomery; Will liam Reeves. Montgomery; w. E. Saf- fold. Montgomery; J. M. c. Logan, Montgomery; Eugene Armstrong. Au-
 tauga.
 l The grand jury on being charged re- tired immediately to the new quarters
 of the grand jury provided in the ad-
 dition to the Federal building. | The court proceeded to the organiza-
 tion of the petit juries. Two juries
 were organized as follows:
