j. +. Nance, periurcr and tool of
u conspiracy originating in mis-
named organization Of this city, after
making false affidavit on the wit
ness stand as to his name and adj
dress, left Thursday night for his
home at jSS9a Thcaudso, street, st.
Louis. Mo.
Nance made his appearance in the
Cape at the solicitation of the Mems
Club through a committee composed
of W. II. Stubblefeld and L. W.
Flentgc.
On the witness stand where he
made the nauseous and rcpulsive
admissions that he had sought to
engage women in crime in order that
he might secure evidence to convict
his victims, he swore positively that
his name was W. J. Jones, and that
he never Mt any time used an assumed
name.
Before leaving the city, however,
this tool of corrupt and vicious or
ganization established the suspisions
that were properly entertained to-
ward him as being a colossal liar
and irresponsible party, when he made
the statement to the proprietor of the
ldanha Hotel that since the trial
was over he would give his correct
name in order that the local papers
might be sent to him. His actions
bring him clearly within the definition
of detective given by a prominent
man, and which includes those aid
ing and abetting him in the prac-
tices which are at such variance with
all sense of common decency and
responsibility. The definition is as
follows:
"A detective is the lowest, meanest
most contemplate thing that either
creeps or crawls, a thing to loath
and despise. A detective has the
soul of craven the heart of hyena.
He will barter the virtue of a pure
woman or the character of an honest
man. He will go into the labor unions
the political party, the fraternal socie-
ty, the business house, the church.
He will drag his Shiny length into the
sacred precincts of the family, there
to create discord and cause unhap-
piness. He breeds and thrives on
the troubles of his own making. He
is maggot of his own corruption"
That you may know how small a
detective is you can take a hair and
pinch the pith out of it and in the
hollow hair you can put the hearts
and souls of 10000 detectives and
they will still rattle. You can pour
them out on the surface of your
thumb nail and the skin of gnat
will make an umbrella for them.
When a detective dies he goes so
low he has to climb up ladder to
get into hell, and he is not welcome
guest there. When his Satanic Ma
jestiy sees him coming he says to
his imps. eco get big bucket of
pitch and a lot of sulphur, give them
to that fellow and put him outside.
Let him start little hell of his own,
we don't want him in here starting
trouble. There is not room enough
in Hades for a detective"
The Tribune stands for the preser-
vations of the best morals at all times,
but is opposed to the practice of
creating immortality in order to dis
cover it. At no time and under
no circumstances will this paper hest
tate to expose and cndemn any
wrongful indulgences that are known
to exist, and we emphatically express
ourselves as opposed to vice and cor
ruption wherever and whenever found.
regardless of the parties concerned,
