knew that Maxwell was enjoying
the notoriety which the newspapers
were giving him. / knew, also, that
the public was growing tired of read
ing about him, and, therefore, believed
that if 1 could paint my assistant as
a more desperate criminal for the time
being, by the notoriety which he, In
turn, would gain through the news
papers, it would have the effect of
attracting Maxwell's attention to him,
SO that he might bask in the light
which was shed upon McCulloch. |
considered it necessary to have Nc
Culloch slug me and the police officer
in order to allay any suspicion that
might have arisen in the mind of the
chief of police or any of his men. The
chief was an alert and experienced
officer, and if he had for a moment
suspected that McCulloch was not
what he represented himself to be, or
that he was connected with me, he
would undoubtedly have exposed the
scheme.
/ could have obtained the blank
check from DR.. Smith for the asking,
but DR.. Smith would, Of course, have
wanted an explanation, and if l had
given it DR.. Smith would have been
obliged to state the facts on the wit
les stand when called before the
grand jury, and this would have been
fatal to the plan. BY keeping my
plans and motives profoundly secret
l produced this result: that each per-
son told the truth, as he believed it
to be.
AS there was no city fund for the
payment of the expenses of outside de-
tectives, Mr.. Clover paid McCulloch
out of his own pocket, the total sum
expended amounting to about six hun
dred dollars. l got, as my compensa-
ton, the aforementioned black eye,
a swollen jaw, and a number of bumps

"Then you stole this check from DR..
Smiths Officer" was the next ques-
ton.
81 took that blank check from DR..
Smiths office without his knowledge
or consent"
@. Who filled out this check and
signed DR.. Smiths name? A. That
check was filled out by one Of my
employees l stood alongside of him
while he filled it out. He did it under
my instructions, and if he had refused
to do it 1 would have discharged him
and he knew it; and if the law has
been violated in any way 1 am respon-
sible for it,"
"You knew that it was a forgery,
and that forgery is a crime under the
law" inquired the opposing counsel.
To which I replied that, inasmuch as
intent is the essence of crime, and as
there was no intent to obtain money
or other v%aluables by of the
check, / did not believe l had been
guilty of forgery. I pointed out, fur
thermore, that l had been at the bank
on the morning when McCulloch pre-
sented the check, for the purpose of
preventing the teller from cashing it,
in case he had failed to perceive that
the signature was not genuine.
Almost every person in the court
room had been of the opinion that l
had got myself into serious trouble
by obtaining the blank checks and
causing one to be filled out and signed
and presented. But after my explana-
ton it was evident that / had re-
NAMED well within the letter of the
law.
The testimony was oV erwhelming
against Maxwell, and the jury quickly
returned a verdict of murder in the
first degree. 1t is satisfactory to add
that Maxwell, or Brookes, paid the
penalty of his crime by hanging.
The psychology of this case makes
1t unusually interesting. Why"

you cause McCulloch to knock you
down and strip the policeman and

BIG MIX-UP AT CONVENTION
Alternate and Proxy-HoIder Insist on
Voting While Delegate Himself
Is Present.

A southern black-county convention
was in progress, and the hall was
crowded. Among rows upon rows of
the dusky sons Of toll an occasional
white delegate stood out like a flake
of now on a coal car.
The chairman was calling the roll.
One by n the delegates answered
yea OF nay till the name Of James
Levy was called. UP jumped a burly
negro, as black as ink. Use his proxy,
and I votes yea" From across the
hall came another voice: "Mr. Cheer
man, Mr.. Cheerman, Use his alternate,
an I votes nay"
Use de gem'man entitled to dis var
vote, and it's yea"
Don you listen to his talk, Mr..
Cheerman. De a%lternate's got de say
so, an de vote is nay"
Back and forward, forward and back,
the alternate and proxy of James Levy
wrangled, while the chairman vainly
pounded for silence. A third man in
the hall stood up, and endeavored to
make himself heard above the tumultu-
u voting. The chairman caught sight
of him, and leaping to his feet, he
shouted above the din:
"Mr. Proxy an Mr.. Alternate, if you
all don stop dat rumpus Use gwine use
dis hyar gavel on you haids, an dat's
de truf, Use tellin' you. Now" he con-
tinued as the rivals quieted down, 1--WE

SOME TWENTY YEARS AFTER
J.. p. Morgan Took Lively Interest In
Sound Money Demonstration
Had His Boys Marching.

"This preparedness parade reminds
rade which took place just about
20 years ago and in which Wall
street was just as keenly interested
as it is in today's parade" said an
old-timer in the financial district, &C
cording to New York Sun. "One of
the features of the sound money pa
rade was the interest the father OF
the present ]. P. Morgan took in it. /
had occasion to go into the old DrexeI
building late in the afternoon on sew
eral days previous to the parade and
I found that Mr.. Morgan had his
boys marching up and down the floor
of the old building. He was just as
interested in the showing the men
from his office were going to make as
any one of the clerks who were to
march under the banners of the firm.
On the day of the parade the line
formed at the lower end of Broad
street and as the j. P. Morgan boys
came marching up the street and
looked up at the windows they found
him waving a big white silk handker-
chief at them while his keen eyes ran
over everyone Of his men in the line.
From the interest which the big men
Of the street are taking in today's pa
rade l am convinced that the spirit of
| patriotism and unity in the country
is just as strong today as it was 20
years ago."

Pacific coast. The moment Dingfelter
stated that he was a detective one OF
the city detectives rushed out of the
court to the office of the chief Of pc.

authorities around the building.

Investigating committee, Alfred Cra-
ven. chief engineer of the public serv-
ice commission, who receives $4,000
a year in salary. may face charges
which Senator Thompson chairman
of the committee, intends to prefer
against him.
Mr.. Craven admitted that although
he knew practically nothing about the

determination" he allowed s125,000
just "as good settlement" This

Richard Reid Rogers. the INTERIOR
ough general consul.
Mr.. Coleman admitted under heavy
pressure he had never questioned the
legality OF the $50,000 bonus to Mr..
Rogers. The city must pay this. Time

CHICAGO, March Cool d. A.
Frelericks, commander of the central
department of the United States army
with headquarters in Chicago, tonight
said his department could supply
only one regiment of infantry at war
strength for immediate service in
Mexico. as all the rest of his soldiers
were already serving on the Mexican
border. The Twenty-fourth infantry
recently arrived at Fort u. A. Russell
Wyo., from the Philippines.
Colonel tredericks said the central
department had also one regiment Of
cavalry but IL was not at war strength
The caValrymen were stationed at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Fort Sheri-
can. H., Fort Robinson. Neb., Fort
Meade, S. Oak. and Fort Russell as
caretakers They could be sent to ac-
tive service but the number OF men
was so small that the troopers would
be of little use. The colonel said that
there were no artillerymen, engineers
or signal corps men in the central de-
partment There are now on the
Mexican boIder, S.725 men from the
central department. mostly infantry.

DETECTIVE JOYCE
AGAIN ON FORCE
Absence Of Efficient Officer
Was Keenly Felt by
Department.

Detective Pete j. Joyce was rein.
stated as "a member of the Tulsa po-
lice department yesterday and AS
sumed his duties at once. No cXpla.
ration of the action was forthcoming.
but it is a certainty the efficiency of
the department was greatly increased
upon his restoration as Joyce long mas
been recognized as one of the best de-
tectives who ever operated in this
city.
Joyce some time ago was notified
by the mayor that his services as
detective no longer were required. Tho
explanation was that there was in
sufficient money to pay him and
few others who previously or after
wards were similarly dealt with. No
charges were filed and no hearing
given before the board of commits
sioners, but Joyce, rather than cause
unnecessary trouble, handed in his
resignation.
1t was Detective Joyce who in
stalled the pawnshop system of ideud-
fication which since has been tho
means of recovering much stolen
silverware and jewelry. With this
system he is thoroughly acquainted
and his abse rce from headquarters
made the duties fothers quite ardd-
Gus and distasteful.
