AFTER SLICK CRIMINAL.
Crook Used Name of Marion Centr
 Bank to Advantaxe

Crook used Name of Marion Centra Rank to AdvantaRe. Marion, May 3.-(Special )-One ol the slickest of criminals paid Marion a visit last week, and as a result a half dozen detectives have been here nearly all the week camping on his trail.
 The story is that a stranger claim. ing to be A. E. Richardson, used the Western Union Telegraph wires in trading in stocks and bonds with brok- CTS In New York, Philadelphia, Cin- cfnnati and St. Louis, protecting his orders by the use of the name of the Marion Central Bank to his drafts.
 The first information the local bank had that its name was being used came Monday of this week in letter from Norden & Co.,, of New York, stating they had drawn on the bank for $500 per telegraph draft and against A E Richardson. Having transacted no bus mess with A. E. Richardson the bank officials investigated the Western Union office and found files of orders to brokers in the cities named, and at once notified all parties concerned that the use of the banks name by Rich ardson was a forgery. The Western Union officials of Birmingham were also notified.
 Richardson is described as clean shaved, wearing a neat fitting black
 
 years old.
 He is said to have remained in town three or four days. but did not reg ister at any of the hotels or boarding houses. It is understood that there is batch of letters in the postoffce ad- dressed to Richardson. but thus far no one has called for them The total amount of the forgeeries to all the brokers aggregate about $1,000.
 The Marion Central Bank did not lose anything in the operation. The New York draft has been received and protes~ed Nothing has yet been re- ceived from the other brokers. The detectives are alive and say 1t will be matter of a very short time before Richardson will be brought to bay. Both the Western Union detectives and men of the Government secret service are camping on Richardsons trail.
 large audience greeted Miss Ma die Terry and Miss Meeda Haynes at the Judson Auditorium April 29 to hear them in their senior recital in expression. Although these young la dies have read before Marion audi ences on several occasions, and always with much success. their recital sur prised all expectations. and every one went away feeling highly repaid for having gone
 Miss Haynes in Christina Masetis "A Royal Princess" showed semarkable power and insight. while her keen ap- preciation of the humor in ""TWo and the Terror" caused her to read 1t SO truly that the audience was kent in laughter from beginning to end.
 Monsieur Beaucaire," cutting from Booth Tarkington's brilliant story of the same name. given by Miss Terry as her first number, is exceedingly dif- ficult and rarely attempted except by professional readers as Is true also of Andrea del Sarto." NotwithstandinR this fact Miss Terry presented them both in manner that quite suggested the artist.

And it rained again.
 Mobile wins again.
 Good score at Little Rock.
 Cotton States sandings remain the same.
 No change in Southern LeaRue standings this morning.
 Only one game on the circuit yes- terday, the one at Little Rock.
 Memphis won't distance Atlanta in the lead very soon at that rate. 
 Chicago and Detroit broke even on double header yesterday afternoon.
 Southern League teams all play in the same cities today as yesterday.
 Double headers are set down On the official schedule for today at both Lit tie Rock and Shreveport.
 Only, one game played in the Cotton Sates League. This isn't the only cir cult where it rains.
 St. Paul and Columbus of the Amer jean Association played a 1 10 game ten innings long. at Columbus yester- day.
 Only two games are scheduled for today in the Cotton States League Columbus and Nicksburg will play at the latter city tomorrow.
 Had Philadelphia won that ten-in ming contest from New York yesterday afternoon she would have tied Chicago for frst place, instead of New York for second.
 Brooklyn is certainly playing in hard luck this year. She has won only one game so far. The team played good ball yesterday, putting up a 1 to o con test but they had the small end of the result.
 Cold weather at the Windy City froze the Chicago Nationals fr..~. tbs first place. They had no opportunity to heat Pittsburg. and New Yori forges ahead by defeating Brooklyn in a l to game. -

whiskey with the milk. The man be- came drunk. jumped from his bed, and cursed at everybody in sight.
 Finally, Dr. Harle, who was still in Chihuahua, was induced to cross the border and was arrested. He was forced ino a confession about his connection with the two Chihuahua claims. This was all the detectives needed The proceedings against Mitchell and Hulburt on she Dallas plot were dropped and all three were extradited to this place and tried for murder.
 With abundant money at their com mand the conspirators fought the case step by step, taking the case to the highest courts of Mexico. With every twist and turn known to the law ex- hausted there now appears no hope of their escaping death at the hands of the executioners.
