these agents are lacking in your diges-

years later he was made sergeant,
and shortly after was appointed cap

beginning most of his work was done
from headquarters. for his superior
ability was soon recognized by his
superiors. In the last thirty years he
has participated In the biggest crimi-
nal cases which have come before the
Richmond public, and much of his
work has extended across the CONT
mont. Several times he was in dan
ger OF his life when rounding up Grim
mails. He was consulted in all the
big bank cases. in other burglaries
and IN all murder cases 1t was said
OF him That he rarely. If ever, failed
In landing his man. He never forgot a

notes. He carried everything in his

among all classes. He was the close
confldant Of most OF the officers OF the
Dig banking houses here, and had en-

held special commission az detective
