up. They think they know all of this,
do these men who spend their lives
in the big private detective agencies
and police departments patching up
broken trails.
And if they do know it, they admit
that there has always been one break
in the trail-a break that prevented
them from getting the goods on Aus
tralia Mac.
In Louisville the detectives caught
two bank thieves in the Insurance
Bank. Mcnamara was the third
stranger present. He had a pair of
wire tongs in his pocket, the kind of
tongs that Would prove useful in pull
ing bills through the wire mesh of
the cashiers cage. But no penal code
lists wire tongs as a part of a bur
glars kit and there was no case
against Mac. His companions at that
time were Herman Diehm and George
Carson, both notorious bank burglars
and sneak thieves.
In the way that detectives fit the
broken parts of a criminals trail to-
gether it is a frequently voiced utter
ance after some big burglary job:
This looks like Australia Macs

same ooh, is that all?" inquiry and
with a pleasant and cultivated tongue
that can volunteer as little worth
while information, yet make itself
thoroughly entertaining, as any other
tongue the detectives ever heard wag-
ging.
MACS method''-if it is Macs
may be of doubtful paternity, bn
there is no doubt about its effective
ness. This was shown in the case of
the New Westminster robbery, which
was one of the most daring as well
as biggest in the history of the North
American continent. The fact is,
there was only one bigger in either of
the Americas. During the days of
the late Inspector Byrnes the old
Ocean Bank, at Greenwich and Fulton
streets, New York, was robbed by a
wrecking gang headed by the notori-
Gus George Bliss. Five hundred thou
sand dollars was the amount stolen.
Most of the money stolen from the
New Westminster Bank was So and
$40 notes. Some $25, $50 and 500
notes were also stolen and a large
quantity of gold. The bank had re-
ceived a consignment of the bills of
the smaller denomination on the day
preceding the robbery. They had not
been signed by the officials when

believed to have been Mcnamara and

They know the length of his ear, the
size of his collar, how many scars he
bears and where they are. He's card

they have no record from any local

The petition is dated September 3.

admittedly disappointed with this
showing.
When interrogoted about the rea-

When asked this morning whether

said he has known for some time that
such a move was contemplated but de-

he had raised was due solely To his

would lie swcrve from the course he
had laid out when he took the Office
and which he has followed without de-

The vote received this week By
c. c. Hurley for district judge
must have been a good deal Of a
surprise and qualification to him as
far as the Custer county ballot was
concerned. But it is easily explain
able. When Judge Sanner receiv-
ed the nomination over Mr.. Hurley
four years ago, Mr.. Hurley did not
develop q 'sorehead" but turned
to with a vim and worked for Mr..
Sanner, the result being that the lat
ter was elected by large majority.
Custer county Democrats no doubt
remembered the generous acts Of
MIR. Hurley at that time and gave
him their solid support. He has been
and always will be a generous cam
paigner, and his wide experience. ex-
pert technical legal knowledge, and
large sense Of human justice will
assure the people that Dawson
County's first Judge will be a shin
ing light Of the bench. not only in
Dawson County, but throughout the
entire Treasure state. Mr.. Hurley
has long been recognized as an auth
ority on criminal law, one of the
most important branches Of juris-
prudence, and his decisions on the
bench will carry the weight Of auth
ority and common sense, the latter
being the quality that governs all
equitable decisions. There viii gen
orally be few exceptions taken from
Judge Hurley's decisions. His cleo
ton is an honor to the people of
both counties comprising the judicial
district. but especially to the resi-
dents of Dawson, where the judge
has lived so long. and gained the
position of one its leading and most
respected citizens.
