Ed Craig, who is held at the county
jail on suspicion of being safe blower
as j.. d. Burke, or John Brewer, the
.'sbotter." who left Mobile overnight
because of an unsavory prison record
which had been revealed, the announce
ment seems to have been substantiated.
The supposed "spotter" was arrested
Saturday night By Deputy Sherif Par
tin. He was suspected Of having blown
a safe at Matthews Station. and gave
his name as Ed Craig.
Sunday night Deputy ellis, yho is
in Montgomery for the Cazalas linz

hope that he might throw some light
on the suspect, he was given look
at the supposed craig.
An instantaneous recognition fol-
fowed Craig was declared to be Burke.
or Brewer, who had left Mobile. after
having got in bad there.
The Mobile offlcer Is positive as to
the Identification. He had known
lsBurke+ WELL. while the latter was in
Mobile because of--the nature of the
latter's work.
Craig denies that he is the man; Gill
lis Is steadfast that the suspect Is
Burke.

that millions of dollars have been
stolen from the people Of the United
States. This fact is not mentioned by
the leading newspapers Of the city OF
New York, but on the contrary, fun
mage advertisements of the American
Sugar Refining Company appear in lieu
OF the truth. which ought to be made
known to the people of the United
States"
Consequently, he asked to have. the
newspaper attack read In order that
1t might appear In the Record, which
was done.
Upon the conclusion Of the reading
Of the clipping, which was an account
of the alleged recent frauds perpetrat-
ed by the sugar trust, Mr.. owen de-
