How the Swindle
Here Was Worked.

The detectives declared that Broadnax
two weeks ago secured the necessary
papers and, with Governor Browns sig
nature attached to them, took them to
New York, where Governor DIX had
agreed to the arrest of the two women.
They were astonished that the women
should have been freed before the At
anita man arrived to give evidence
The swindling Of the Durham com
panv took place on June 90 when, ac-
cording to the detectives, the two Wom-
en- disappeared with $500 worth of
Jewels which they had secured on the
payment of $135 in cash after securing
the recommendation of a prominent
Albanian.
The women were accompanied by
two brothers, Sam and Jack Herman
who posed as their husbands. me
Plnkertons got on the trail at once and
through baggage checks traced the
quartet to Greenville. n. c., thence to
Richmond and Norfolk. There the four
had evidently taken the boat to New
York and the detectives hurried TO
Manhattan. where the quarry was final
ly located in a boarding house run by
Frank Herman, a brother of sam an"
Jack Herman. They remained in MD
ing about New York until about TWO
weeks ago, when they were discovered
y n the Herman rooming house.
A squad of detectives surrounded
the Herman place the night the cap
10 hut nlIrCnP0
dashed into waiting automobile just
before the Pinks got to the house and
made their escape after a wild ride
through the streets of New York.
Through one of the underworld in the
tenderIoin of New York the detectives
finally learned that the two women and
the men had gone to White Plains and
last night all four We're arrested. The
Piukertons here were notified to have
the officers call and BroadnaX and
Webb were all ready to start this
morning
Then this surprising telegram ar
rived.
Don't send officers; White Plains
magistrate released prisoners, declar-
Ing evidence insufficient"
The local Pinkerton office expects the
'tarast of the women before night.
Whether the women fed from White
Plains Immediately after their release
Is not known, as no details Of the pro-
ceilings there have been received. it
Fl. regarded as practically certain, how
ever. that they are still under surveil-
thNe, a $ the Pinkertons are deter
".hnd to prevent their escape.

Many young boxers overtrain while
preparing for a bout and sometimes
this is more harmful than no training,
especially If the boxer is one who does
not dissipate- Young fellows when
starting IN the boxing game are am
bilious and feel that they must DO
more work than is really necessary 10
fit themselves for a battle.
Roadwork, which IS one of the best
methods of preparing for bout, can
easily be overdone- A fighter should
always feel that he could go a bit
farther when he finishes ms work on
the road. Some boxers believe IN run
