that he pay so cents.

awaiting trial there for the ROBBERY
of the pOStOfhce at west oupetioi.
Fay was known to be the leader o. d
gang which had robbed the postolnIe
in Chicago of $4,000 in 1901. He
nosed as a retired business man living
at Tacoma. Wash. under the name OF
*. j. Cummings. He owned real es-
tate in Tacom and vas considered a
Iespectable citizen. We got on his
track by tracing his trunks, one OF
which was sent to the Grand Central
station. New York. Inside the trunk
was $4,000 III tWo-cent postage
stamps. 1t was claimed by Fay, who
was thereupOn arrested, and, TO make
a long story short, was convicted or
burglary, fined $4,000 and sentenced
10 serve ten years in the Federal pen
itentiary at Atlanta, Ca

AS the chief inspector concluded
this story l thanked him for the talk
and rose to go. AS [ turned toward
the wall ! faced the photograph OF
a train robber who held a revolver
which seemed to point straight al
my eyes. Below it in black ink were
the words Hands Up" AS l walked
across the room the eyes of the pho
tograph followed me. and the gun
seemed to move and to ever point
straight at my head. I remarked upon
this when Mr.. Sharp said:
That is the picture of a post Of
fee inspector who helped convict a
train rObber out in the West. Accord
ing to the testimony of a half dozen
different men who were held up, the
robbie had pointed his gun straight
at each OF them, and that nOtwith-
standing they were scattered over the
car at whose Oor he stood. The law
yers argued that such a thing was
imrA sible. and that the witnesses
must be lying. and their testimony.
therefore, could not be admitted.
Thereupon an artist was called in,
and he said that it vas easy to make
a picture whose eyes would look at all
parts of the room at one and the
same time. The artist showed our
inspector how to pose in such a posi-
ton, and from that pose this photo
graph was AIKEN. It resulted in the
train robber going to the Dententiary.'
