valuable information.
Two of the Bardeline heirs were still
alive. Miss Choice-a young woman
nearly 20 years Of age-was easy to
find. She lived with one of her rela-

Bardeline, who was two years younger
than his sister, had gone to New
Mexico with a herd of cattle.
A little inquiry revealed to the agent
Of the operators in the oil lands that
he was searching for a popular, hand

Miss Bardeline was the belle of the
town. She had won the odd name of
"Choice" when she was an infant
through the admiration of relatives
who called the pretty little girl the
"choice Of the flock"
Maj. Sark turned his footsteps in
the direction of the residence of Mrs
Sallie Bales the old aunt with whom
Miss Bardeline lived. Sure of ac-

Cleveland, Nov.> 7.-Following the
discovery of an attempt to liberate
several prisoners in the county jail,
which was aided by a woman, Albert
H. Darwin, who was on trial for muir
der in the first degree, hanged himself
in the county Jail Monday morning.
Darwin left letter addressed to F. A.

cell was sheet torn into strips and
knotted together. This was to have
been used by the prisoners to escape.

Maj. Sark discovered that another
man occupied a chair in corner of the
room he entered, and while he was
rubbing his eyes and trying to find
why the stranger had familiar ap-

Sark, permit me to introduce you to
Mr. Smart, from the Humble oil fields"
The major stood staring with his
mouth wide open. Repeated efforts to
express his surprise resulted in fail

When Choice retired from the room
Smart whispered: IL can't do q

Sark was left alone with an mex

to piece of paper was worth heaps
of gold. Miss Bardeline was a casual
reader of newspapers. She had heard
something of the discoveries at Hum

is DENIED A NEW TRIAL.
Mrs. Chadwick Must Serve Her Peni-
tentiary Sentence.

Cincinnati, Nov S.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick has lost her last hope for
new trial unless allowed a rehearing.
The United States circuit court of APP
peals yesterday refused her applica-
tion for new trial. The lengthy opin-
ion of the court was read by Judge
Lurton. Mrs. Chadwick is now in Jail
at Cleveland under sentence to the
Ohio penitentiary for ten years, hav-
ing been indicted and convicted of
conspiring to defraud under the ma
tional banking law, the specific case
involving the wrecking of the Citi-
Zens national bank at Oberlin, o.,
whose president has died since the
exposure of the matter.
In his decision Judge Lurton declar-
ed that Mrs. Chadwick ought to have
known it was wrong to draw checks on
a bank when she knew she had no
money on deposit there, and that the
inference drawn by the jury in the
trial court that she did the acts with
intent to defraud was a proper one.
