now the girls lover, putting his foot
down, showing great anger, COMPEL
ing her to return Gluck's strange as
sortment of presents. This man, VIII
liam Sherbourne, was a gross and
stolid creature, heavy-jawed man OF
the working class who had become a
successful building contractor in q
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
a beating.
Still Gluck did not understand. He
continued to seek an explanation from
the girl. In 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 a 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 a 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 vacant lot.

merely on circumstantial evidence, but
on evidence cooked up by the Oak

that a large portion Of the evidence
was manufactured. The testimony of

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 resort on the San Lee
andre road. The unfortunate Gluck
received life Imprisonment.
Gluck entered San Quentin prison on
April II, 1929. He was then thirty-four
years of age. And for three years and
half, much of the time in solitary con-
fnement, he was left to mediate upon
the injustice of man. 1t was during
that time that his bitterness corroded
him and he became hater of all his
kind. Three other things he did during
the same period: he wrote his famous
treatise, Human Morals" his remark
able brochure, 1.-THE Criminal Sane"
and he worked out his awful and mon
strous scheme of revenge. 1t was an
episode that had occurred in his cleo
troplating establishment that spg-
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 en-
bark on his career of vengeance.
His release was sensational. Also
it was miserably and criminally de-
layed by the soulless legal red tape
then in vogue. On the night of Fabru-
airy l, 1882, Tim Haswell, 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. 1t is inconceivable
to us of today-the bungling, dilatory
processes of justice generation ago.
Emil Gluck was proved in February to
be an innocent man, yet he was not re-
leased until the following October.

| by three .3S-caliber bullets that ampu-
tation was necessary. But when the
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
the revolver had been in his hip
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-
lent of a pension from the city.
Emil Gluck, having disposed of his
immediate enemies, now sought
wider field, though his enmity for
newspaper men and for the police re-
NAMED always active. The royalties
on his ignition device for gasoline en-
gines 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 a thousandfold more de-
struction than all the terrorist groups

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

wandered over the earth, mysterious |

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

short weeks over hundred policemen
were shot in the legs by their own re-

the mystery, but it was his idea that
finally outwitted Gluck. On his recon-
mendation the policemen ceased car

COMMISSION
WON'T REDUCE RATES

The Railroad Commission of Geor-
gia has declined to order a reduc-
ton in rates on the street cars to At
lanta after considering the petition
filed by Judge Morris. This same
commission requires the steam rail-
roads to haul children under five
years OF age free, children from five
to twelve years at half fare and to
provide water and toilets on their
trains. None of these accomoda-
lions are required of the street rail-
road company and they are allowed
to charge full fare for children over
three years of age. This looks like
an unfair discrimination and ought
to be taken up by the representatives
of Cobb county in the Legislature.
. The letter declining the petition
follows:

Dear Sir:
The Commission at its meeting
held on the 18th, instant, gave con-
sideration to your application for re-
duction in children fares on the At
lanta Northern Railway, and after
very carefully going over the record
in this case, the Board felt that it
could not at this time, under exist
ing conditions, order reduction in
fares on the Atlanta Northern Rail-
way, and was directed to write you
and say that your petition was res
pectfully declined.
Yours very truly,

WESLEY BARACA NOTES

The Baraca Sunday School room
was crowded last Sunday to hear
Judge Patterson's address. He chose
for his subject, Man and the Bible
and traced the effects of the Biblical
teachings on civilization from the
flood until the present day. Judge
Patterson is well able to speak on
the relation of law to conduct, and
he took the biblical teachings and
showed how the present day laws and
teachings have never neared them in
perfection.
Next Sunday, the Rev. Otis Morris,
pastor of the church at Elizabeth,
will be the speaker. His subject has
not been given but he is very enter
tanning speaker, and will be sure to
give a fine talk.

DR.. FIELD TO DEMONSTRATE
INTERESTING FLORIDA LAND

We received a telegram from DR..
Chas. H. Field just before press time
saying that he had arranged to have
an expert on hand on August 10th
to demonstrate clearing land with
dynamite at his property on the St.
Johns river. The demonstration, h.
says, will give guaranteed estimates
on the cost of clearing land with
dynamite.
The message also said he was leav-
ing for Marietta Wednesday night
and hoped to get big crowd of pros
pective buyers from Marietta and
Cobb County to go with him about
August Sth to see the property and
the demonstration.
DR.. Fields has an excellent pro-
position in this property and it is
well worth while, during laying by
time, to go and see it.

MARIETTA AND CANTON
TO PULL WOOL AGAIN

Marietta is to have a real world S
serious which, as Dick Jemison and
@. B. Keller would say, is a crucial
serious to the last degree.
After several weeks of arguments,
pickering issuing of ultimate and
things" the managers of the Mariet-
ia and Canton base ball teams have
finally come to an agreement-hot
stuff.
Marietta wanted all the games,
Canton ditto-it looked like nothing
doing-but Canton has agreed to
come to Marietta the first and third
games of the serious provided we
hit the trail for Little River in the
jungles of Cherokee for the second
game.
In addition to claiming two or
three games out of the three, they
promise to show up our fair city In
the attendance tune. This would be
a mighty poor showing for Marietta
as she has always claimed to be the
best town in the state.
So for this reason, Canton has the
lead in the attendance line, at the
game between the Marietta and Can
ton teams at Canton the gate receipts
were $4,000, while the best that
Marietta has done was against the
Indians, $4,000 being taken in at
the gate. Lets get together and
show Canton which is the best town.
Just little effort will enable you
to see the game between the two fast
est teams in North Georgia.
The games are sure to be hard
fought all the way through-there
should not be one dull moment the
entire time, until the last man is
out in the last game Saturday.
Some of the games stars that will
be in the lineup: Carl Morris, River
sides all southern prep pitcher, MAR
vel" Rucker, the only Rucker inathe
world better than MAP" Hayden!
Kemp, the kid that held Griffin so
easily-and then some and some

Editor Marietta Journal,
Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir
The friends of Hon. Geo. ID. Ander-
son, of Marietta, are trying to in
duce him to offer as a candidate for
Judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit in
the next election. They claim for
him the natural qualifications of a
Judge, and emphasize his experience
in the courts of the circuit together
with his judicial temperament as fit
ting him well for the office.
He has for years served as Referee
in the Bankrupt Court and for sew
eral years was the official Court Re-
porter of the Blue Ridge Circuit.
Every one who knows him appre-
ciates his ability as lawyer and his
fairness in all cases which pre-emi-
nently fit him for the judgeship. He
Is void of all prejudices and special
favoritism and his friends believe he
would make one of the best judges
the state ever had.
Thought this would be of some
news value to the readers of the
Journal.
Yours truly,
One who is interested in Good
Government.
