CHAIN GANG FOR
LIQUOR SELLERS

Atlanta, May 1S.--In two cases today
the state court of appeals upheld the re-
corders court of the city of Atlanta in
cases charging violation of the prohibition
ordinances, and in which chain gang SEN
tences we're imposed. The decisions today
are the more important for the reason
that a score or more of similar appeal
cases are now pending
AS a result of today's decision of the
appellate court Spero Athens and Mike
Lyons will have to serve sentences of
80 days each on the chain gang, and the
former, in addition, will have to pay
fine of $500 imposed by the recorder.
In all of the convictions before the re-
corder for violation of the city prohibi-
ton laws the defendants were also bound
over to the state courts to answer charges
of violating the state liquor laws. The
court of appeals holds that this pro-
cedure does not necessarily mean the
trying of person twice for the same Of
fense.

him how this could be done and he said,
That's a simple matter. When the bids

miles to bring his man to the bar OF
Canadian justice. The detective first
turned his attention to Davidson's
wife. That lady was busily engaged
in making preparations to leave Cana
da, when Murray intercepted a let
ter to her showing that the defaulter
was in Mexico. Thereupon he pre-
pared %extradition papers and started
following Mrs. Davidson's route. He
left on November s and was joined in
Chicago by Mr.. Bartlett, an accountant
of the Bank Of Hamilton, who knew
Davidson personally, and accompanied
Murray to Ell Paso, Texas, on the
border of Mexico.
They reached Ell Paso on November
16, and Murray paid a visit to his
friend, Manager Davis, of the Wells
Fargo Express company. This gentle
man furnished him with letters to sew
eral persons in Mexico, among them
being Supt. Comfort, of the Mexicon
Central railroad. Murray called upon
Comfort at Ciudad Juarez. He had al
ready located Davidson, under the
name of Graham, checking cars for the
railroad company. The superintendent
telegraphed to Graham to come to
Ciudad Juarez. He also sent for the
mayor of the city, a polite, Next
can gentleman, to whom Murray ex-
planned his mission and desire to have
Davidson taken into custody. The
mayor bowed magnifcently, smiled,
bowed again, and said that he would
be "pleasurably agitated" to have Of
ficers ready to arrest the malefactor
outrageous when the latter arrived.
Mr.. Comfort stated that Davidson
would be there in about four hours,
~whereupon the mayor bent double In
a third sweeping bow, INDUCED In an
other expansive smile, and withdrew.
:. Four hours later the street outside
the superintendent Office re-echoed to
the steady tread Of marching feet and
imposing rattle Of arms as the march
ers came to a halt. Looking out of
the window Murray perceived a body
of so men clad in full uniform and
armed with carbines. At their head

bright and shining light. By profess
sion a nurseryman Of tn. firm of John
Davidson & Sons, he had also a soul
for music and filled eXcellently the po-
sitiOn of organist with a church choir
to which he belonged. Charles was 40
years old and immensely popular.
Ever to the front where religious
exercises were concerned, in October,
1892, he had arranged for a grand song
recital by the choir, when just as
plans for the entertainment were in
full swing he vanished my%steriously.
Then, much to the horror of his &C.
q~uaintances, it transpired that the en-
terprising Mr.. Davidson had passed a
series of forged notes on the Bank of
Hamilton, some of them the notes of
n~on-existent presons, and others the
alleged notes of farmers who had
never signed them. The department
OF justice promptly detailed Wilson
Murray on the case, and that G
clOush hunter of wrongdOers called on
James Turnbull, manager of the bank,
to talk over the matter with him.
From the first the manager was in
sistent that Davidson be brought back
and punished, no matter at what cost.
1t was not alone the sum of money
taken from the bank in this particular.
instance that influenced Turnbull in
his determination. Following the prin-
ciple which leads a farmer to nail a
dead crow to a post as a warning to
other despoilers Of his crops. the
bank manager argued that to con-
vict Davidson would deter other
would-be forgers from exercising their
talents at the expense of his treasury
vaults.
IF you have to follow this fellow
to the ends of the earth, do so, but
get him." quoth Turnbull grimly. ct

Clearly there was no room for ar

submission to the august officials de-
cision by a bow modelled closely on
the lines of the Iatter's own theatrical
salutation, and the preliminary for
malities were at an end. Ten minutes
later Davidson made his appearance
on the scene and Murray pointed him

with carbines levelled directly at his
head, and marched him off in triumph
to the calaboose.
The mayor was in transports OF de-
light.
Truly it is of a wonder" he ex-
claimed, as the valiant 60, without a
tremor of fear, marched away with
their lone victim. Behold you the de-
tenders of our Mexico, Senior Murray?
Such courage! Such precision! Beauti-
full! Bravo, bravo!"
The detectives emotion was too
great to be expressed in mere words
and he bowed profoundly. Upon Wis
iting Davidson in the calaboose the
latter denied his identity.
THAT won't work." said Murray
crisply. Il have a man from the bank

Davidson sighed. ooh, WE'LL" he said
Reluctantly, 'in that case I'm willing
to admit that I'm Davidson" and he
signed a paper to that effect. On the
following morning Bartlett identified
the prisoner, and then returned to
Canada by rail.
