Watch Restored To Ozuner
After Many Adventures

John s. Lee, manager of the branch Of
fices of the Ricestix Dry Goods company
in the Chamber of Commerce building,
was made happy last night when Detec-
tives Goldstein and Crenshaw announced
to him that they had recovered his watch,
which was stolen from him about three
months ago and had captured the thief.
The watch is very valuable being worth
about $50.
The story of the different transactions
and adventures of Mr.. Lees watch since
it was stolen and its subsequent recovery
by its owner are very interesting. 1t is
alleged that the watch was stolen by
Albert Smith, a negro, who Is at present
in the city jail charged with grand lar
ceny.
The negro Smith after stealing the
watch sold 1t to a negros employed by
Earl Perkinson. This negro in turn sold
the timepece to Mr.. Perkinson for 81. Mr..
Parkinson saw that he had an excellent
watch and bought nice chain and watch
locket to wear with it at "a cost of about
$50
Thursday afternoon Mr. PerSinson's au-
tomobile broke down in Norwood and
while fixing it up he lost the watch, chain
and charm. He reported the matter to
the police and also advertised the loss
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-10-19

in the newspaper offering $50 reward for
the return of the watch, cham and charm
Friday afternoon an aged negro brought
the watch, chain and charm to CHER of
Police George II. Bodeker's home stating
that he had found it. Chief Bodeker took
the watch and called up Mr. Parkinson
that night informing him that his watch,
chain and charm had been recovered. Mr.
Perkinson came to police headquarters
and after taking the negro's name left
highly pleased at recovering his lost prop
erty.
In the meanwhile Detectives Crenshaw
and Goldstein had been working steadily
seeking Information about the stolen
watch of Mr.. Lee and also looking out
for Albert Smith. They located this me-
gro yesterday morning and arrested him.
At police headquarters Smith told the
detectives how he had disposed of the
watch and Detectives Crenslraw and Gold
stein following up the evidence sought
out Mr.. PerSinson to get Mr.. Lees watch.
After listening to the detectives and hav-
ing the watch positively identified by its
numbers, Mr.. PerlSirson gladly restored
the watch to its owner. Early yesterday
morning Mr.. Parkinson delivered the
aged negro who found the watch In Nor
wood the $50 reward he had advertised
he would give for it's recovery.
The watch is now In the possession of
Detectives Crenshaw and Goldstein and
will be turned over to Mr.. Lee some time
today.

lobby is to be permitted to continue
its undisturbed sway over legislation,
that there won't be enough democratic
members in the legislature two years
hence to Justify holding a caucus.
The feature Of the whole matter
that is most disCOuraging to the pro-

party responsibility. They feel that
as the people gave them both branches

Springfield H., Jan. 29--Thc speak
crship deadlock in tho lower house of
the Illinois legislature was broken to-
night by the election of William Nc
kinlcy, democrat, of Chicago, on the
10th ballot. The deadlock has CON
tinucd since January S, preventing the
induction into office Of the newly
elected democratic state officers and
balloting on the election of the United

Mckinley was elected by a combi
nation of democratic ana republican
votes.
There was much explaining Of votes
and. while no intimation was made
Of money bribery. it was freely
charged that a deal had been made in
Volving the two United States sena-

1t was a notable coincidence that the
new speaker should have been elected
on a day observed in memory of the

The new state officers will be in

Hell ma, Jan. 29.-Political relations
between democrats in the senate are
worse than strained. They have come
to the actual breaking point. The
action of seven of their number in
voting yesterday with the reactionary
republicans for the creation of two
new counties to pay corporation poll
tical debts was a elimination of SIM
liar alignments. In consequence the
progressive democrats in the senate
are today in a state of hopeless de-
lection as to the prospects for reform
legislation of any value whatever to
come from the upper body of the
legislature. Senators like Stout AS
bridge Duncan, O'Shea and others,
now frankly admit that the bipartisan
reactionary combination has the SEN
ate seWed up tight and fast They
have been pleading with the bosses
to permit the passage of legislation
that would at least in a halfway meas
ure come up to platform promises of
their party, and thus satisfy the peo-
pie to some small extent at least. They
have pointed out the possibilities and
even the probabilities of much more
drastic legislation by the people them
selves through the initiative and refer
