And at that psychological moment
two other guards appeared IN the
courtyard with Frederick Banfield
walking between them.

gazing down into the yard with bull.
eing eyes. The cold sweat stood out
in little beads on his forehead.
In fact" resumed the inspector.
I'VE really have three men who know
all about the murder and who are
probably prepared to tell all they
know"
The guards appeared again, this
time leading Robert Morrsey.
McGloin turned to his inquisitor. The
look in those steely eyes seemed to
hold every detail of his awful secret.
He could stand the strain no longer.
He threw up his hands and fell on the
floor in a heap, crying out:
q did it. 1 did it, Stop! For Gods
sake. stop!"
Thus ended the most dramatic in
terview ever held in police head
quarters. What followed was merely
detail AS soon as McGloin recovered
his self-possession he sat down and
confessed in detail the story of the
murder of Louis Hanier
1t appears that the four rowdies
had been "spotting" the shop of the
French wine seller for many days.
They believed that he would have a
large sum of money in the house at
the close of the holiday trade, and
they deliberately conceived the plan
of robbing the old man. They knew
enough about their unlawful trade to
get into the shop without difficulty.
They had been drinking. At any rate.
they made SO much noise they reused
Hanier from his slumbers. He ap-
peared on the landing at the head Of
the stairway partly dressed. Nc
Gloin, who was at the foot of the
stairs, instinctively reached for his
revolver, and pulling the trigger fired
at the defenseless shopkeeper. The
aim was only too true. The bullet en-
tered the heart of Louis Hanier and
he rolled down the stairs a lifeless
lump of clay.
This, in substance, was the confes-
sion as it was CLEANED from the lips
of the murderer and his confederates.
His one cry to inspector Byrnes was:
Save me! Save me! Do not let
them hang mel"
But the grim detective, who had
forced the truth from unwilling lips,
made no reply to this hystercal ap-
peal, and in due course of time, after
a trial, McGloin was convicted and re-
ceived the full penalty of the law as
1t was then administered.
He was hanged by the neck until
dead.

3S-caliber revolver was discovered in
the mans heart.
He had been murdered.
The French wine merchant had
been doing a big holiday trade during
the week before his death, and he had
a large sum of money in his posses
sion. An examination of the prem
ises proved that the front door had
been jimmied. Hanier had been MUIR
dered for his money.
And that may was Inspector Byrnes.
Report aftsr report had been made
and the murderer of Louis Hanier
threatened to slip away beneath an
avalanche of red tape. Inspector
Byrnes called for all the papers in the
case, and seated at his desk in Null
berry street he pondered over the
problem in chess.
His conclusion was that the crime
had been committed by professional
burglar. The. first Oryler was. that
dfery pawnshop in the limits of Man
haitian island should be visited to dis
cover whether a 3S-caliber revolver
had been pledged at any time within
48 hours after the murder. Byrnes
argued that while a novice might con-
ceal the weapon a professional would
cold-bloodedly attempt to realize
some money out Of it.
He was right.
A money lender was found who had
parted with several dollars in return
for the murderous weapon. The next
step was to bring the pawnbroker to
headquarters and have him look over
the thousands of portraits iE the
rogues' gallery for the purpose of dis
covering the picture OF his erstwhile
customer. Page after page was turned
over and photograph after photograph
was exhibited, and it began to look as
II the quest we're to be fruitless. Just
at this point the pawnbroker suddenly
exclaimed:
There's thA mani"
The picture he pointed out was that
Of Michael McGloin. a parsonage we'll
known to the police.
The third step in the plan was to
locate McGloin. That was compare
lively easy. He was found in the
haunts Of crime. and for many weary
weeks he was shadowed. Every move
he made was reported; every word he
uttered was recorded. l: required in
finite patience, but the espionage re-
suited In the discovery that on the
night Of the murder McGloin: had been
out on = spree In the company OF three
Of his pals, by name Thomas Moran.
Frederick Banfield and Robert Morri-
sey.
The case had now reached a stage
where caution was Of the utmost i'm
portance. A single false move might
ruin everything. 1t would be easy
enough to arrest the men on suspi-
cion. but would such a step serve the
cause Of Justice? Inspector Byrnes
evidently thought not, for he post
poned that act. Professionals, who
did not stop at murder, were adopts in
the making of alibis. and the detective
did not propose to be fooled by. such
a device. -:
He sent a woman to live with Nc
Gloin. and he supplied her literally
with money. Indeed, there were times
when the murderer wore the clothes
Of the inspector. With Byrnes the end
justified the means. McGloin did not
confess to the woman-he was not
the confessing kind. But she lived

that five property-owners In the vi
clnity OF Gresham were holding up
this company so seriously that men
behind the project have considered
the advisability Of building around
Gresham instead Of making 1t a sta

that land IN this vicinity has been pur-

SMALL OUTPUT OF FRUIT.
Canning Industry VIII BE Crippled
Somewhat.

Oregon's fruit canning industry will
not amount to $4,000, 900 this season,
although normally the industry
amounts to at least $1,000,00O~ Bus
mess and not the fruit crop is re
sponsible for the sweeping reduction
in the output, says a Portland paper.
Jobbers are not ordering as freely
as in the past. This condition is at
tributed to the general depression.
through the country. The panic OF
last winter is still leaving its effect.
Oregon recovered quickly from the
financial hysteria, but the east and
south were less rapid in recuperating.
This has had a depressing influence
on many lines of trade, and among
other Industries crippled is the fruit
canning industry of the beaver state.
The fruit crop has been abundant
Berries have been coming in In large
quantities, but the preserving plants
are not swapping up the fruit as in
other years. The Gamers have no de-
sire to overstock and with orders
greatly reduced they will not work at
full capacity during the limited sea-
son.
Manager Holmes of the Holmes
Canning company, says that many Of
the canncrles in Oregon this year will
not open at all. The remainder will
only put up half pack. The Holmes
plant will operate as usual, but not
on such an extensive scale as has been
the rule in previous seasons, as pre-
vailing conditions fail to warrant the
concern operating at full capacity.
A report from one oregon town
states that the preservinb plants there
have bought $4,000 worth of straw
berries. This however. is considered
an eXaggeration, in view Of the gener-
al slackness Of the trade.
Not only will the Gamers suffer,
but It will also curtail the payroll to
extent. The preserving
establishments annually employ thou
sands of women and young girls pre-
pairing the berries and other fruit
With the cutting down Of the output
fewer hands will be required to han
die the pack, so that less than half
the usual number of employees will
be working in the oregon fruit can
neries this summer.

GIANT ELoPEs WITH MIDGET
Picks Her From Second SGory Win
dow While Parents Guard the Door.

Charles Richards, whose height is
seven feet two inches and who is
known as the tallest man in Herkimer
county, and Miss Emma Crlstman,
scarcely five feet high, both residents
of East Herkimer went on a honey
moon trip Saturday, following a sem
sational runaway marriage the night
before, says a New York dispatch.
The brides brother was violently
opposed to the marriage, and when
Richards called at the home of the
young woman to escort her to the
church, her mother threw cold water
at him. When that did not deter him
she used hot water.
Then the groom signaled to his
sweetheart to jump from an upper
story window while her mother and
her brother were guarding the doors
Of the house.
Gallant Charles caught the girl
with all the grace characteristic Of
his statue, and forthwith they went
to marrying parson. Then they dis
patched a policeman to the brides

INDIANS MUST CO
RESERVATIONS ARE BEING
SOLD TO THE WHITES
Each Year Sees Big Slices OF Western
Reservations Thrown Open for
Settlement-CrOw Indians Are the
Last to Make Way for Civilization.

That the western Indian reserva-
tions are doomed to disappear soon
and that the western tribes must fol-
low those of the east into oblivion, is
shown by each succeeding report from
the Indian department. The Denver
Republican says:
If the present policy of opening the
Indian reservations to public settle-
ment is continued no doubt the pres
ent generation will see the last Of In
dian segregation. Several large res
ervations are to be opened to settle
ment within a year or two. One of
the finest to be thrown open will be
the Crow reservation in Montana, and
not long ago delegation of Grow
Indians, headed by Plenty Coos, chief
of the tribe. went to Washington to
protest against the sale of their
land.
1t Is natural for the Indians to pro-
test against the breaking up of their
reservations, even as they protested
against the invasion Of their broad
pralries by white men. But II the
case OF the Crows is considered, II
will be seen that no hardship is be-
ing worked. The Crows have always
been a friendly tribe, but they have
been one OF the most difficult to wean
from their Indian ways. It is only
within the last five years that their
tribal mode OF living was broken up.
Their tribal herd of cattle was sep
arated by the Indian agent Major S.
G. Reynolds, and the stock was as
signed to individuals.
The Indians were given allotments
OF land, and every effort was used to
make them live on the allotments
and become prosperous farmers. SO
well has this work succeeded that
now the Crows are self-supporting.
They have learned the knack OF farm
ing, and even give an annual fair, at
which their farm products are exhib-
tied.
There are about 1900 Crows living
on reservation that is nearly 100
miles square. There are thousands
Of acres that can never be used under
the present system, save for grazing
Most OF It is leased to white men who
run cattle and sheep thereon. To
take this land and open 1t to white
settlement is not working a hardship
on the Indians. On the contrary, the
more white neighbors they have the
more rapid will be the Indians pro-
gress as farmers.
What Is true in the case of the
Crows is true of most of the other
tribes. The policy of opening the
waste lands of the reservations is a
good one-good for the Indians as
well as the white man. The reserva-
