Scheme to Get Southerner'S
$4,000 Comes to Grief
Through Judge and a
Former Prosecutor.
D0UGHERTY PHILOSOPHERS
Says 1t Doesn't Seem as Though
Workers of 0ldtime Games
Can Do Any Business at
All Nowadays Without
Getting Into Trouble.

Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty and his detectives yesterday after
noon arrested two prosperous looking
men in the Pennsylvania Station on the
charge Of swindling a Southerner by
means Of the 'wire-tappipg" game.
Workers of oldtime swindling games
here certainly have been playing in bad
luck lately" said the Deputy Commits
sioner yesterday, after Magistrate
Marsh had held the prisoners in 5000
bail each. 1T seems like they can't

friend who is a judge, police commits
sioner. United States marshal or some
thing Of the kind"
Reason for His Remarks.
The reason for Dougherty's philo-
sophical remarks was that E. L. Baxter
Davidson, a well-to-do merchant Of
Charlotte, n. c., who was responsible
for the arrest Of the pair yesterday, all
his life has been friend OF James w.
Osborne. former Assistant District At
torney Of New York County. and Judge
Francis I. Osborne. the ex-prosecutor's
brother. Of Charlotte.
The Osbornes learned of the attempt
TO swindle Davidson out Of $4,000 al
most as soon as it was made-such, ac-
cording TO Dougherty, being the luck Of
wiretapper" lately.
Yesterdays arrests were made in the
presence Of a large number Of persons,
all Of wh-m were much interested III
the dramatic capture arranged by the
detectives. They saw a tall, sun
bronzed man greet two we'll dressed
men and, as if by accident, drop his
handkerchief. Then Detective Van
Colt, Of Headquarters. pressed through
the throng and seized two Of the men.
A brief argument followed and the
three men, one smiling broadly, were
taken TO Police Headquarters.
He Who Smiles Last, Etc.
Davidson-the man who smiled
later told Magistrate Marsh he came

Europe and put up' at the Martinique
Hotel. In the bar he made the &C.

may be said, won the first few bets he

THREE SKETCHES

Movies Add Interest
To ThaW's Adventures.

Atlanta is attaining much more of
personal interest in the enthralling
affairs of Harry Kendall Thaw since
the pictures from Sherbrooke first
were shown at the Grand Theater
Monday. There in the movies the
noted fugitive sits and smiles and
frowns and looks bored, Just as
everybody imagined he would. 1t is
a very real Harry Thaw that At
lanta people are seeing at the Grand,
and they go from the theater to their
newspapers with a new interest.
In the pictures Thaw is seen in his
cell, reading, or writing, or idling,
and altogether looking not in the
least like the lunatic that the New
York State authorities are trying to
make him out. In fact, he seems to
be rather human person.
Moving pictures. such as the Thaw
series at the Grand this week, fulfill
the serious function Of the celluloid
films, giving to actual events hu-
man interest that makes them APP
pealing and instructive.
