New York, April 21.-One little
man created more stir in insurance
circles today than did the Legislative
investigation several years ago, as a
result of which James Hazen Hyde
became a resident of France.
The little man, wearing an apollo
getic look and the necessary clothes,
edged into the office of an insurance
physician, and asked to be examined,
with a view to taking out a policy on
his life.
When the doctor began the exam.
nation the little man was still wear,
ing the apologetic look, but not so
many clothes. When he peeled his
shirt six scars showed on the upper
part of the little mans body.
Obviously, they were made by gum
shot wounds. The doctor was in
quisitive. Where did you get those?"
he queried.
"Robbing people," answered the
little man, bashfully. T
What's your ine?" came back the
doctor. -.-- .
Trains" replied the little man. ]
- What road are you president Off"
probed the doc, examining a particu-
larry prominent scar. =.
81 am not president of any road"
returned the l. M, mournfully. 81
used to be train robber.''
This startling information almost
floored the physician. Further ques-
tioning developed the fact that the
quiet little visitor was Al Jennings,
of Oklahoma, who gained fame of a.
sort holding up trains several years
ago.
What are you doing now" asked
the doctor.

shortly.
