TOUGH TACKLES
WRONG MAN
CAPTURED IN HAND TO HAND
STRUGGLE WITH j. A. TAT-
LOR WHILE HIS COMPANION
FLEES TO ESCAPE BULLETS>

Two masked toughs tackled the
wrong men last night at Second
and Sherman in j. A. Taylor, of
624 Sheridan, and D. L. Mcnamara,
of GIG Sheridan, After being hit
in the face as an Introductory Tay-
lor clinched with one of the hold
ups, Frank Anderson, and pinned
him to the ground: The other es-
capped, followed by shots from Nc
Namara's revolver.
F. F. Bittrick, of S148 Sherman
ST., heard the firing and telephoned
the police, who responded with a
patrol wagon load of officers. Tay-
lor, almost exhausted, was found
near a pile of lumber, astride the
struggling holdup man. Standing
over both with revolver ready for
instant use If needed, was McNa-
mara. Taylor allowed Anderson to
regain his feet when the officers
arrived and Anderson still showed
fight. He fought the police in the
patrol wagon all the way to the
police station and fought them at
headquarters. 1t was necessary to
handcuff him. He was still ugly
this morning and it was not
thought advisable to take the cuffs
off, so he is still manacled.
Taylor told the police that he
saw the two men following two
couples in front of the armory.
They were annoying the men and
women by logging their footsteps,
so he told them to move on, which
they did. Later Taylor saw them
hide in the shadows of sidestep
and happening to meet Mcnamara
about that time asked him to go
along and route the suspects. When
they came up to them they found
them masked with handkerchiefs
over the lower part of their faces.
Once more Taylor told them to
make themselves scarce but in
stead of complying Anderson turn
ed and struck Taylor stunning
blow in the face. Then these two
grappled while the other thug
took to his heel and Mcnamara
fired at him.
Anderson steadfastly refuses to
divulge the name of his companion.
About week ago Anderson took
flight from the changing in a dar-
ins manner, boiling when the
smoke and dust caust by blast
hid him from the view of Patrol
man Deery. He was serving term
for vagrancy after case of holdup
had failed against him. Since his
escape there have been many hold
ups and the descriptions given by
victims fit him.

DESIGNED TO TIE UP|
JIM HILL CARS

4. Designs of T. r. Peel against the
Great Northern railway were frus-
trated last night by Patrolman
Fred Gratz, of the Merchants po-
lice, who saw him in the railroad
yards. Peel broke and ran and
Gratz fired twice into the air to
intimidate him. Peel, however,
was not to be intimidated in any
such manner, SO it settled down to
a race between he and the patrol
man. Gratz finally caught Peel in
a lumber yard.
Peel was provided with a bag,
into which he had been putting
waste which he had taken out of
the axle-boxes of the cars Railroad
men say that a loaded train could
not get 100 miles in the condition
Peel had left the train he was TAX
ing the, waste from. Yard en-
ployes supplied new waste this
morning. Peel was taken to Jail
and charged with larceny.

covery."
Lemoine made numerous other
experiments in the presence off ex.
perts and diamond merchandise al
ways with the same result. He con.
vinced them all. Their stories vary
little from that of Lord Armstrong
All laugh at the idea of the cruel
BILE having had a double bottom in
which diamonds might have been
concealed None of these rough dia-
monds have been identified by any
dealer.
To the court Lemoine said:
Permit me to go to my labora-
tory at Angeles, and there, in your
presence, or the presence of any
commission of exeperts you may
name, ! am ready to produce dia-
monds. All insist upon is that
be permitted to operate so as to

to proceed with his experiments
before the de Beers expert because

years Lemoine has made many
demonstrations. Invariably he pro-
duced diamonds. Those who wit
messed the experiments were usual
ly convinced.
In the manufacture he used an
electric oven and cruciDle IN
which he placed certain powders.
These were heated and cooled un-
der his direction, handled by an
other. Diamonds of varying size,
but all of the purest water, were
produced.
Lord Armstrong, who witnessed
an experiment, says of it:
"LemOine HANDED me the pow
ders, which | passed through my
fingers into the crucible. The
crucible was empty, and | am posi-
tive there was nothing more than
powder. Then put the crucible in
the oven.
Acting under the instructions OF
Lemoine, who STOOD across the
room, | withdrew the crucible after
an allotted time. In the crucible
was an agglomeration which was
permitted to cool. When this mass
was broken there were some per
