The Black Hand" at TOny'S
 By GEORGE F. BUTLER and HERBERT HSLEY Dr. Furnvall in the Solution of Perplexing Case

notice, but he was leaking grit, just the same, and managed to tell me all he knew, which wasn't much. He said that he woke up in the night and saw person on the fire-escape outside his window, and when he asked who was there something struck him in the head, and he fell out of bed unconscious. Tony and the old woman heard the sound of feet run ming across the boys floor, heard the door open and shut and the feet go pattering down the stairs-just as Ffnnegan says. And Murphy swears nobody came down."
 He paused again, regarding Dr. Fur nivall earnestly, and again his listen CT smiled delightedly, but said noth- ing. =
 Now" Birsch continued, "the sec ond strange thing, or bunch of strange things, is that the boys win dow was shut and fastened, the per son he saw was outside of it, the bomb that person threw struck the boy without breaking the glass, and without the sash being raised, and the mother and father heard some- body cross the room, open the door, shut it, and skip downstairs. Finne- gan saw this somebody, heard the door open and shut, and saw and heard the person going down the

the brains, or the spunk, either, to fix up such plant and get up at two o'clock in the morning and throw a bomb into his own sons room. Bosh! The notion is ridiculous" The detec- tive sniffed in contempt.
 Well, you are improving" the doc tor grinned You do finally glance, if ever so slightly, at character in this instance And you put Tony out of it. Now we have left only the moth- err The doctor proceeded imper- .turbably in the face of his listeners look of incredulity and downright dis gust Had the mother any reason, could she have any reason for doing such a thing, and if so has she the qualities necessary to the carrying out of so bold a plan?"
 q don't see what you're getting at, y growled Birsch, "and it don't seem to me the,Ss any sense in this kind of business, guessing at all these things, and wondering which one of 'em done it. None of em done it. Somebody else done it, and if you know who it is, which I doubt, tell me, and I'll go and nab him.
 Nov" the doctor. continued, as if the other had remained dumb, you have practically eliminated the three who were the only persons in a posi- tion, physically speaking, to do this thing, and that settles the matter, with you, as far as they are con cerned You would take your oath, wouldn't you, that neither one of these persons is, or reasonably could be, the culprit?"
 The detective eyed the doctor dog gedly.
 Yes" he replied, shortly. Keep up your jollying if it does you any good, but I'd go my oath on these peo- pie, just the same, and I guess you would yourself. It ain't in any sort of reason that one of them done it. It was the man outside on the fire

stairs, but Murphy at the foot of these stairs sees nothing of any person of the kind."
 For the third time the detective paused meaningly. Dr. Furnivall laughed and stroked his beard.
 T see,' he said. Murphy let the bomb-man in and out. That's why he didn't see him!"
 The detective appeared gratified at this evidence of perspicacity on Dr. F'urnivalls part. But only for mo- ment. Then he searched the bearded face with his eyes. He did not like the tone of that laugh.
 There's no other way out of it." he began
 T could give you six different ways out of it." the doctor interrupted. But the one in which it really hap pened will do. I suppose you have come to ask me to hypnotize Murphy and extract the truth from him-is that it?"
 The detective flushed and gnawed his lip.
 Yes" he answered, shortly.
 DT ruTnlVdll rang TOT maid and scribbling a note, passed it to her.
 Read that aloud-all but the ad- dress" he said.
 If you will come with the bearer of this note," the maid read, "'to my office, you may save yourself some trouble, and the humiliation of being taken to the police station, instead of here. Dr. Furniyall.'" The doctor looked at the detective, whose face was blank, and then said | to the maid
 Explain that to Mike and let him deliver it. Tell him to hurry. Now" he continued briskly to the detective, you shall see the culprit and hear his confession. I have no time to waste over this affair, and while we are waiting we will improve the mo- ments by indulging in a word or two of psychology. In the first place, you should know that the proper method of beginning the search for the perpe- trator of crime is to learn all the
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-04-09

facts that you possibly can, and then understand that you almost certainly have not learned them all, and par ticularly the most necessary ones. Then, making large allowances for what you don't know, you should round up the person concerned whose character fits suggest into all the circumstances and question him. The usual method is to get a few facts and then go at the job without the slight est regard for the character of the in dividuals involved, neglecting to allow for the facts that are unknown In this way always some innocent person becomes the first suspect In this particular case you say there is only one way in which this peculiar assault and still more peculiar escape could have happened. That is one of the things you don't know, and for which you have made no allowance in your deductions. Suppose, for example, that criminal. after starting down phy there at the foot, hurried back again and up the higher flight? Fin negan had dropped to the street, and he could easily have done so, making his escape by way of the roof"
 Detective Birsch made an involun- tary movement of chagrin.
 You see," smiled Dr. Furnivall, you had your idea, the first that came to you, so firmly fixed in your mind, jumped to the belief in Mur- phys guilt so quickly, not seeing any other way, and were so incapable of entertaining any other idea that you really could not recognize this other way out though it so openly confront ed you. Then you never dreamed of considering the characters of the sev- eral persons concerned. There were three people in that tenement, any one of whom could, as far as physical pos abilities go, have done the act, and it seems as if nobody else could. Not
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-04-09

escape, and that skipped downstairs, or up, and that Finnegan and Murphy and Tony and the old woman heard, and that Ffnnegan saw as well as heard"
 Then the qualifications of the prob lem must be, to you, how did this man reach the fire-escape without your knowledge, you being right un- der It.; how did he enter the room without raising the window or break ing it; how did he escape so miracu- lously; and what did he enter the room at all for? For he could have thrown the bomb through the glass, you know, and it would have been both safer for him and more within reason"
 Birsch set his lips and for a moment said nothing. Finally he burst forth:
 Seems to me you ain't helping any thing great! In minute you'll make it out that nobody could do 1t, and that consequently it wasn't done!" T am only showing you, so far, my friend, what your method amounts to-" said the doctor. By it I can prove or disprove anything under the sun, because it has to do with ap- pearances, instead of character. with the, superficials as distinguished from the realities. can even turn com pletely around and prove to you. by your method, that each one of these persons whom we have, by my meth cd, proved innocent, is the only per- son who could have committed the crime What you lack is-psychol. ogy." Dr. Furnivall did not wish to say brains" nor learning" nor fin. telligence," nor even "training" SO. after some hesitation, he said "psy. chology." And he continued: Nov. | the moment saw this letter and heard the story, I knew indubitably
 the guilty party"
 "The--the nation you did!" burst forth the detective, involuntarily. "The easiest thing in the world" smiled the doctor. Just consider this letter-was it written by an edu. ] cated or an uneducated Derson?"
The Green Forest tribune., 1909-04-09

another soul was near. The first question you should have put to your self is, which one of these three has sibility of throwing that bomb. Let us in fact begin the inquiry now. You have seen them all, while Inever even heard of any of them before. Now tell me if you think the boy could be guilty?"
 Him? Hardly" the detective grunt- ed. He wouldn't be likely to bust his own face all up. Besides, the money was for him. anyway. It would be only stealing from himself, for he'd have it in day or two. And on top of that, he didn't even know that his father had the stuff, and was all broke up because he couldn't go to college and be priest"
 Very good" smiled the doctor. Facts, facts, facts, and never a word of character! I fear you are incor- rigible. However, so much for the boy-he's obliterated Now, how about Tony? Did he really wish the boy to have all that money? Could he afford to let him take it? Did you inquire into his business, in or der to find if he happened to be des- perately pressed for money just now, as most men are sometimes%
 Birsch appeared uncomfortable.
 T see that this phase also never occurred to you,' Dr. Furnivall said, dryly. Still" he went on, leaving that out for the present, could Tony commit such an atrocity for any req son whatever? It requires certain qualities to carry out a project Of that nature, and has Tony these quail ities?"
 Why, anyway" the detective ex- claimed, .'it was Tony himself who brought us the Black Hand letter and told us about it, asking us to send men to protect him. He wouldn't do that, would he, if he had this thing up his sleeve? Besides, he's scared blue. I never saw anybody before frightened clean in to his marrow, the way he was last night. He hasn't

grafton from without. They want a
hired man, who, if he becomes a
competitor at all, does not make a
competitor OF formidable efficiency.
Complaints against the Negro as a
burden and a curse are forgotten in
louder complaints of another sort
whenever any one attempts to lure
him away.
Talk about deporting the Negro
to Africa or colonizing him apart in
this country! There would be almost
another Southern Confederacy to
fight if anything of the sort were
attempted. The Negro is here to
stay and no men in their hearts
recognize the fact more fully or re-
gard it more complacently than the
men who with their lips are continu-
ally abusing him"
In 1891 the Negroes of North Car
olina listed S8,oI8,446 worth Of prop
erty. In 1908 they listed $2I,7I6,922,
or III per cent increase in seventeen
years. The property listed by whites
increased only 50 per cent. during
this same period. In other words,
the Negro property increased during
these seventeen. years nearly twice in
proportion to white property. In
Georgia, in 1891, Negroes listed $I4,-
'I96,735; in 1907 they listed S25,9o4,-
S22, an increase Of 81 per cent.
White property during the same pc
riod increased just 80 per cent. This
indicates that the ratio of increase of
Negro property in Georgia during
the 1aot sixteen years has been main
tanned at a rate of increase more than
twice that Of white property.
Such facts give us glimpses of the
economic importance of the Negro
and abundantly Justify us in hoping
that the senseless race prejudice
which has for its object the intellec-
tual enslavement of Negro children
will soon pass away. l do not be
lieve that any superior race can hope
for the blessings Of Heaven on its
own children while it begrudges
more light and efficiency for those of
an inferior race.

NOT 4 BURDEN
Continued from page u


And in view of the facts set forth
for these three States, will the white
man be able to maintain successfully
that he pays nearly all the cost Of the
Negro public schools in these States?
Time is not at hand to make de
tailed study of this question for all
the eleven States under considera-
ton. What is true of the school
funds of the three States considered
above is probably true of all the 9th
ers. A somewhat careful study OF
this question for several years leads
me to the conclusion that the Negro
school of the South is no serious bur-
den on the white taxpayer. The same
conclusion vii be reached if the sub
ject is approached from another
standpoint. Suppose the Negro chill
dren Of these States were all white
Then it would be found that it would
cost to educate the present Negro
school population, on the basis they
were all white, just about FIVE times
as much as it does now to give the
same number Of Negroes such educa-
ton as they are getting. You will
observe that we always count the
Negroes in as a part of our popula-
ton when we tell the world of our
progress in material things
In this connection l wish to call
your attention to the comment of two
leading Southern newspapers on the
recent exodus of Negroes from
southern Mississippi and northern
Louisiana to the Yazoo Delta. The
Chattanooga Times said:
There is no doubt about the alarm
and distress felt among our farmers
and planters of southern Mississippi
and northern Louisiana over the re-
cent exodus of Negroes to the Delta
pears, very attractive inducements
region of Mississippi, where it ap-
have been held out to them. We will
probably never fully appreciate the
value of the Negro as the dependable
labor of this section until we lose
him, and we would learn this lesson
from the situation in lower Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, we will make up
our mind We are not going to lose
+ him."
| On the same subject, the Charlotte
Observer OF January 18TH, 1909, said 4:
1T is q singular fact that those
who profess most antagonism toward
the Negro and most desire to get rid
Of him are often the very ones who

to move Negroes from one State TO
