Capt. Donaghy Given Credit for Business
Like Solution Of Tangle Which Con-
victed and Hanged Three Legal
Formalities Overcome

Besides this Donaghy was convinced
that they were men totally devoid of
education. He deducted this from the
fact that they had evidently not even
bestowed so much as passing glance
on the books in Prof. Whites green
bag. 1t is known fact that a man OF
education or refinement is irresistibly
attracted by a book. If volume is
lying on a table even in the house of
a stranger he can no more resist pick
ing it up and going through the pages
than a moth can avoid the flame. The
murderers evidently had not the slight
est curiosity toward the little work in
the green bag.
The detectives summary, therefore,
was that the crime had been commit
ted by two or three men; that they
were negroes; that they were brutal

When the last of the prisoners had
been brought in the work of elimina-
ton began. Donaghy and McKenty
were intrusted with this delicate task.
Some of the suspects were obviously
out of the question. For instance,
mulattoes were set aside. So were sew
eral one-eyed persons. So was lame
man. And the work kept on until the
list of possibilities was reduced to 16.
These 16 were lined up with their
hats on and young Hartman was
brought into the room. 1t was mot
ley gathering. Probably 16 uglier
men had never been assembled before
They looked brutal and all of them
seemed capable of murder. Could the
boy tell one from the other? Could
he identify the man who had spoken

the brides and American beauties and

Mel, always the subject of contro-
versy as to whether it was a tea rose
or a noisette.
OF a more beautiful yellow than the
flower named for the famous marshal
of France was the cloth of gold rose.
As its name implied, it was a rich
golden color. Fully as handsome as
the general jacQueminot, the original
name of the Jack was the baronne

North Cardinals Precious Gems.

The state of North Carolina is one
of the most notable in the union for
the production of gems, particularly
diamonds, emeralds, rubies, aquama-
rines, beryls, hiddenite, rhodolite, anne
thysts and remarkable rock crystals.
These gems have been found mainly
in the course of mining operations,
although few systematic searches
for them have been made and two
companies are now engaged exclusive
- in such work.
