SAYS
HE'S NOT MAN
PIANIST ''DID"

F. Archibald Whitney Of Ala North
Washington avenue, a well known To-
cal, clubman, doesn't relish the pros
pect Of being made the butt of ridicule
among his friends because he fell for
the wiles Of the so-called Kohler
Waite gTOupe Of palmists and clair
voyants at an expense Of about ST.
OO0
Mr.. Whitney was notified through
the local police department, late yes
terday, that the New York police
as witness in the case of a pris-
oner arrested on his complaint in a
grand larceny charge. The New York
police gave the local authorities Mr..
Whitney's name and correct address.
It took Mr.. Whitney but short
time to get in touch with the metro
politan authorities and implore them
to keep his connection with the case
out of, sight as much as possible.
Thereupon the New York authorities
phoned to Supt. Birmingham, told him
not to bother about summoning Mr.
Whitney to New York, and he let the
matter drop. But before then Detec-
tive Sergeant Fox had told Whitney
that his man was under arrest in
New York city. Whitney was not
very communicative with the local
police.
When asked by a Farmer reporter
about his connection with Collins, the
man held in New York, Mr. Whitney
said he knew nothing about such a
man beyond what he had read in the
newspapers, and he said further that
he wouldn't be surprised to learn that
the Whitney in question was F. A.
Whitney, another man whose mail he
often received.
Here is what the New York Sun has
to say of the arrest of William P.
Collins, alias Kohler:
'HThe Kohler and Waite group and
the Elliott and Ryan group of palm
lists who ionce worked together had a
disagreement a few months ago, and
as result each faction began to write
to police headquarters about the other
group. AS a result of the letters
Frank A. Ryan was arraigned before
Magistrate Breen in the West Side
court yesterday and held on IS, 900 bail
on larceny complaint made by F. A.
Whitney of Bridgeport Detective
William F. Reich, who for months has
been hunting for Ryan and his crowd,
believes that the Ryan group alone
has separated people in various cities,
especially in Philadelphia and Boston,
from about 100000

Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Hawks, one
sister, Mrs. Sohpia Barnes, and two

speech. Williams address was pure

FREIGHT JUMPS
RAILS AT NORWALK
Especial from United Press.)

Norwalk, May IA serious rail
road accident was narrowly averted,
this morning, son the Danbury-Nor-
walk Division, when a down freight
car jumped the rails near the Cross
street crossing, damned into the gate
tenders shanty, almost turning it
over and finally stopped almost cross
ways of the track. The quick action
of the engineer of the train, which
is known as No. 467 and is Harlem
river regular freight, prevented ser
ious results and fortunately no one
was injured by the accident.

PLAYING A WITNESS.
Methods Of Two Famous Gross tx.
aniners Of the Irish Bar.

Methods Of Two Famous Gross tx
aniners Of the Irish Bar.
Two famous Cross examiners at the
irish bar, says Francis L. Wellman In
.'rhe Art Of Cross Examination" were
Sergeant Sullivan, afterward master
" the rolls in Ireland, and Sergeant
armstrong. Barry O'Brien in hif
Life of Lord Russell" describes their
methods with perjured witnesses.
Sullivan" he says, approached the
witness quite in a friendly way, seem
cd to be an impartial inquirer seeking
information, looked surprised ut what
the witness said, appeared even crate
ful for the additional light thrown on
the case.
".Ah, indeed! Well, as you have said
SO much perhaps you can help US q
little further. Well, really. my lord
this is a very intelligent man.
so playing the witness with caution
and skill, drawing him stealthily on,
keeping him completely in the dark
about the real point Of attack, the
little sergeant waited until the man
WAS in the meshes and then flew at
him and shook him as terrier would
4 rat.
THE big sergeant armstrong; had
mere humor and more power, but less
.lcyterity and resource. His great
weapon was ridicule. He laughed at
the witness and made everybody else
laugh. The witness got confused and
lost his temper, and then Armstrong
pounded him like champion IN the
ring"
