There's nothing like adversely to

Eyes, out at the elbows"
The Pulaskian., 1915-02-12

by three .38-caliber bullets that ampu- police discovered that the damage had been done by his own revolver, great laugh went up and he was charged with having been drunk. In spite of his denial of having touched a drop, and of his persistent assertion that pocket, and that he had not laid finger to it, he was discharged from the force. Emil Gluck's confession, six years later, cleared the unfortunate policeman of disgrace, and he is alive today and in good headth, the recip- tent of a pension from the city.
 Emil Gluck, having disposed of his immediate enemies, now sought a wider field, though his enmity for newspaper men and for the police re- mained always active. The royalties on his ignition device for gasoline en- zines had mounted up while he lay in prison, and year by year the earning power of his invention increased He was independent, able to travel wher- ever he willed over the earth and to glut his monstrous appetite for re- venge. He operated wholly alone, but he created thousandfold more terror and achieved thousandfold more de- struction than all the terrorist groups added together.
 He signalized his departure from California by blowing up Fort Mason. In his confession he spoke of it as a little experiment.; he was merely try ing his hand. For eight years he wandered over the earth, mysterious terror, destroying property to the tune of hundreds of millions of dol lars and destroying countless lives. One good result of his awful deeds was the destruction he wrought among the terrorists them selves. Every time he did anything the terrorists in the vicinity were gath cred in by the police dragnet and many of them were executed Seven teen were executed at Rome alone, following the assassination of the Ital- ian king.
 Perhaps the most world-amazing
The Pulaskian., 1915-02-12

Gluck made her the most amazing presents-a silver tea service, a dia- mond ring, set of furs, opera glasses, a ponderous History of the World" in many volumes, and motorcycle all silverplated in his own shop. Enters now the girls lover, putting his foot down, showing great anger, compell- ing her to return Gluck's strange as- sortment of presents. This man, Will liam Sherbourne, was a gross and stolid creature, heavy-jawed man of the working class who had become a successful building contractor in a small way. Gluck did not under stand. He tried to get an explanation, attempting to speak with the girl when she went home from work in the evening. She complained to Sher- bourne, and one night he gave Gluck beating.
 Still Gluck did not understand. He continued to seek an explanation from the girl. Tn fear of Sherbourne, he applied to the chief of police for per mission to carry a revolver, which permission was refused, the newspa- pers as usual playing it up sensation ally. Then came the murder of Irene Tackley, six days before her contem- plated marriage with Sherbourne. 1t was on Saturday night She had worked late in the candy store, de parting after eleven o'clock with her weeks wages in her purse. She rode on San Pablo avenue surface car to Thirty-fourth street, where she alight- ed and started to walk the three blocks to her home. That was the last seen of her alive. Next morning she was found, strangled, in a vacant lot.
 Emil Gluck was immediately arrest ed. Nothing that he could do could save him. He was convicted, not merely on circumstantial evidence, but on evidence cooked up" by the Oak land police. There is no question that a large portion of the evidence was manufactured. The testimony of
The Pulaskian., 1915-02-12

Intelligencer, did more. John Hart we'll. it's editor, elaborated an ingenious theory that tried to show that Gluck was. after all, responsible for the mur- der of Irene Tackley. Hartwell died. And Sherbourne died. too. while Pc liceman Phillips was shot in the leg and discharged from the Oakland po- lice force.
 The murder of Hartwell was long a mystery He was alone in his editorial office at the time. The reports of the revolver were heard by the office boy, who rushed in to find Hartwell expir- ing in his chair. What puzzled the DO lice was the fact not merely that he had been shot with his own revolver, but that the revolver had exploded in the drawer of his desk. The bullets had torn through the front of the drawer and entered his body. Spon. taneous explosion was the police ex. planation, and the chemists of the cartridge company were we'll bullied at the inquest But what the police did not know was that across the street, in the Mercer building, room S99, rented by Emil Gluck, had been occupied by Emil Gluck at the very moment HartwelPs revolver so mys- teriously exploded.
 At the time, no connection was made between Hartwell's death and the death of William Sherbourne. Sher- bourne had continued to live in the home he had built for Irene Tackley and one morning in January, 1883, he was found dead. Suicide was the yer dict of the coroner's inquest, for he had been shot by his own revolver The curious thing that happened that night was the shooting of Policeman Phillips on the sidewalk in front of Sherbourne's house The policeman crawled to a police telephone on the corner and rang up for an ambulance He claimed that someone had shot him from behind in the leg. The leg in question was so badly shattered
The Pulaskian., 1915-02-12

Captain Shehan was the sheerest per jury, it being proved long afterward that on the night in question he had not only not been in the vicinity of the murder, but that he had been out of the city in a resort on the San Le- andro road. The unfortunate Gluck received life Imprisonment.
 Gluck entered San Quentin prison on April IT, 1923 He was then thirty-four a half, much of the time in solitary con- finement, he was left to mediate upon the injustice of man. It was during that time that his bitterness corroded him and he became a hater of all his kind. Three other things he did during treatise, Human Morals" his remark able brochure, "The Criminal Sane" and he worked out his awful and mon- strous scheme of revenge It was an episode that had occurred in his cleo troplating establishment that sug- gested to him his unique weapon of revenge As stated in his confession, he worked every detail out theoretical ly during his imprisonment, and was able on his release, immediately to em- bark on his career of vengeance.
 His release was sensational Also 1t was miserably and criminally de- layed by the soulless legal red tape then in vogue. On the night of Febru- ary l, 1892, Tim Haswell, a hold-up man, was shot during an attempted robbery, by citizen of Piedmont Heights. Tim Haswell fingered three days, during which time he not only confessed to the murder of Irene Tackley, but furnished conclusive proofs of the same. It is inconceivable to us of today-the bungling, dilatory processes of justice a generation ago. Emil Gluck was proved in February to be an innocent man, yet he was not re- leased until the following October.
 He came back to the world in the fall of 1882, as usual feature topic in all the newspapers. The papers, in- stead of expressing heartfelt regret, continued their old sensational perse- cution. One paper. the San Francisco

PATTERSONS MAY
APPEAR IN CITY
negotiations With Famous Detroit AEi-
at0rs for Exhibition at Exposition
Park in Progress.

One of the most spectacular aero
plane exhibitions ever witnessed in the
tri-cities will be seen at the EXPOSE
ton park if negotiations now in pro-
gress are successfully completed. An
effort lie being made to secure the Pat
terson aviators of Detroit for exhibit
tions in Rock Island on Saturday and
Sunday, Aug. IA and 10, The Patter-
sons, whose fame has preceded them,
have one of the most thrilling series
of aeroplane flights that have ever
been attempted, and the originality OF
their programs appeal to all who are
looking for something entirely new IN
the way of aerial demonstrations
The Patterson show is a costly one,
and for this reason there has been
some delay in closing negotiations
with the Detroit flyers.
Probably one of the most stirring
numbers on the extensive Patterson
program is the battle in the sky
This consists of a real combat between
two aviators who ride their planes the
way a cowboy rides his bucking bron-
cho. The sight of two aviators rush
ing together to what looks ike certain
destruction a quarter OF mile straight
up, pistol duels at close quarters. aero
planes f1uttering like leaves as the
bombs explode about them, the tum-
bling out of a dummy passenger with
arms and legs Topping about as he
hurtles down some 500 feet, the final
headIong dive of the attacking aero
plane-these and other sights are I'M
usual and decidedly spectacular. Nc
expense has been spared to obtain an
exact reproduction of air warfare as il
t is being carried on abroad.
/ The Patterson program consists OF
eight numbers, all Of them different

There are a half dozen aviators in the
party.

rumor that through trains from the
east to Panama Exposition will be run
for benefit of eastern tourists. Mr..
Plummer stated today that the through
train plan had been discussed for years,
but never adopted because Of objec-
tons on both sides. On transconti-

DRAW CURTAIN ON
THREE-EYEA UC.15
Meeting Called at Chicago for Next
Monday to Consider Throwing
Up the Sponge
HAS BEEN BAD YEAR ALL AROUND
Said That Tearney Is Ready to Quit
as President. Having Offer In
~Faster Company

That the end of the Three-Eye
league is in sight was made plain to-
day when it became known that Presi-
dent Tearney had called a meeting of
the circuit to be held at the Palmer
house, Chicago, next Monday after
noon. The schedule calls for the clos
ing OF the season Sept. u but it is un-
derstood that the purpose of the meet
ing is to consider winding I'D affairs at
an earlier date, probably Aug. Is. It
| is not Improbable, also, that Tearney
Will at this session make formal an
nouncement Of his retirement from the
place at the head Of the organization.
Tearney is said to have intimated to
some of his friends that he is tired of
trying to keep the Three-Eye going. He
has also given it out that he has a
chance TO get into faster company as
head Of higher class circuit, said to
be the American association.
II has been a bad season for base
ball, even with leagues in good condi-
ton at the start, and the Three-Eye
has been decidedly wobbly all along.
! The vitality il has shown in holding on
when time after time it seemed doomed
to fiZZle out is the best hope for future
/ success under more promising condi-
tons and with another man at the
| head. Not one of the teams has
made money and all are said to be
good and ready to quit now except pos
sibly Moline, Rockford and Freeport,
/ the new members.
One Bl0wup After Another.
! Since the season began Dubuque has
thrown up the sponge, being succeed
/ ed by Freeport. Bloomington quit but
was persuaded to continue. Decatur
has also announced REIMBURSEMENT OF
it's franchise, but no other home for
the team was available and it is still
playing on the road. The game is
poorly supported al Quincy, Davenport
and Peoria, the first named being in an
especially bad way. Bad weather has
killed whatever chance there would
have been otherwise to have a success
full season.
Affairs have reached such a pass
that there seems to be no longer any
way to provide money to pay the play
ers after the middle of this month.
In the event that operations are sus-
pended now the majority OF the
/ clubs are said to favor reorganizine
and getting ready for a better start
next wear. In the event that this is
done it will not be surprising if Rock
Island should again become a member
of the circuit. In fact, it has an asso-
citation, with new blood and backed by
the old supporters Of the game, already
formed and ready to take hold.
