he writes:

A big squeal on Pinkerton's Ma
tional Detective Agency is out this
week in a book by Charles A. Siringo.
He worked for the agency q years.
He was the body guard Of J. P. Nc
Partland, the PinkertOn chief at
Boise City, Idaho, during the Meyer
Haywood trial He did shadow
work during the Haynarket lamar
chist" case.
The book has been secretly print
ed by the Conkey house and the
whole edition shipped out of Chicago
on the quiet to guard against injunc-
lions by the. Pinkerton agency. Two
years ago Siringo started publishing
a squeal book and he says the Pink
erton's kept me tied up in the SUI
perior court of Cook county two
years, at great expense" He states:
ct was not allowed to come from
the press until changed to suit Pink
enton's. My lawyer, Fletcher DObyns,
advised me to make the changes, as
the attorney for Pinkerton's threat
ened to carry the case to the U. S.
superior court and tie up the book
five years. Many things had to be cut
out and fictitious names used. They
made me change the name of Tom
Horn, their pet detective, hanged in
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and had me
state he was working for private par
ties. was told they didn't want the
public to know he had been in their
employ"
Horn was credited with the killing
of II cattle rustlers- That he was a
paid detective in the steady employ
of Pinkerton's is not generally
known. Siringo prints this state
ment:

side by side with the Serbians," said
Dr. Price, when it became neces-
sary to put an end to the Austrian
monitors on the Danube, the material
at the service of the Serbians was
primitive The British government
having given its consent a British Of
ficer arrived on the scene. He was, in
fact, the greatest secret that ever
stalked through Serbia. In a few
weeks time he had the Austrian mon
itors bottled up
when the Serbians returned to Bel
grade after the evacuation another de-
tachment of British troops arrived
with them. A few days later the Ser
bians made an attack upon one OF the
islands in the Danube The Austrians
suddenly saw in the dark huge heav-
lily armored craft bristling with can
non bearing down upon them, and the
promptly evacuated the island
"They could not imagine the origin
of this river dreadnaught, which as a
matter of fact had been carefully con
structed by the British, and which had
formerly been a barge, but was now
covered with painted tin plates and
mounted two machine guns behind the
bows. Another boat little bigger than
ferry boat was rugged out later and
gained the name Of the Terror of the
Danube It was fitted with torpedoes
and with it Lieut.. Kerr accounted for
one of the Austrian monitors"
