room of the National Press club one
morning and carried with him a
ravenous appetite. Having eaten

eggs, he ordered another breakfast,
which consisted even more largely of
eggs. After his repast he went to

Half an hour later the steward Of
the club found the colored waiter
loafing about the entrance of the

meant by being absent from his post.

ALWAYS WEAK POINT IN LIE
William A. Pinkerton Asserts 1t Is
Almost Impossible to Frame a
Successful One.

mo man can lie successfully" said
William A Pinkerton, head of the de-
tective agency which bears his name
It's the hardest thing in the world
for the criminal to frame lie that
will stand the test if the detective
has the persistence to dig into the
roots of the matter.
That was brought forcibly to my
mind not long ago, when l was at
tempting to extradite a man from
New Jersey charged with completely
in the Westminster bank robbery in
British Columbia The man defended
himself against extradition by saying
that on the date the crime was COM
mitted he was in New Jersey, 5000
miles away from the scene. In proof
he took into court a man who rented
motor cars. That man had receipts
showing that the alleged criminal had
hired a touring car on the day be-
fore, on the day and the day after the
robbery. Further he got a cafe man.
ager who said that the defendant had
given dinner in his cafe on the night
of the crime, and that as he was

and paid it later, holding the check
as a receipt A railway brakeman
identified the prisoner as an obstinate
passenger who had jostled him in the
aisle of his car near a small town in
New Jersey on the date mentioned.
THAT chain of circumstances ap-
parently was unbreakable, and the
prisoner evidently was an innocent
man. Yet we found that the motor
car which he said he had used had
been stripped, and after having the
body of a hearse placed on the run
ming gear, had been used in funeral
on that day. By comparison we found
that the number of the check pro-
duced as evidence was much larger
than the serial number used on that
day and that the check had been is
sued at a much later date. We also
proved that the brakeman had not
worked on that particular day"
