HdDing His Picture Taken Was One Fatal MODe By
 Webb, Causing Capture
When Birmingham Man Was Arrested in Kansas City Postal Detectives Brought to End Long Search Last One of the Celebrated Harrison Gang Which Has Been
 Tireless for Several Years
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, January 27.-(SpeciaL) When H. Grady Webb fell into the hands Of the government, the postoffice authori- ties heaved a sigh of profound relief.
 For the captive was the last train rob Der after whom the federal sleuths were trailing. At the present time there is no character connected with depredations committed against mails aboard carriers for whom. the tolls of the law are yawn- ing. The slate is clean.
 Webb, according to postal authorities, was as smooth as any other individual against whose wits the detective arm of the government ever matched it's re- sources No career of an aunsavory variety contained more of the romantic That sum of money expended in efforts through < out five or more years to capture the for mer resident of Birmingham would stag ger the imagination. As an example, since the villain of the play first ap- peared on the horizon of the world of crime the government has never employed less than three men whose united efforts were exerted exclusively in the sole ob- ject of capturing Webb. At one time 16 men were thus engaged.
 PICTURE WAS FATAL
 It is an interesting fact that the cap- ture of Webb, so long postponed, exem- plitied the old adage that pride goeth before fall' Webb, as a medical stu dent in Kansas City, beguiled into be- lief that he was absolutely safe, com. mitted the blunder which previously for IS years he had successfully avoided He sat before the camera of a photographer. N;nt,, government It represented Webb as an exceedingly attractive individual, his hair brushed with emphasis to the rear, per- mitting the exposure of a high, bold forehead, and his buttonhole decorated with nosegay of the most fetching va- riety. No sooner had the government possessed itself of the photograph than it was circularized in the broadest and most careful manner. It is stated that copies were sent to every boarding house in the United States. In one of them, it fell into the hands of another young stu dent of the medical school in Kansas City. He was very poor-so poor as matter Of Tact, that he was confronted with the necessity of retiring from school. For the reward of s1000 he tipped the officers and Webb was soon behind the bars of & prison.
 Officials of the government declare that the sole reason why their most carefully laid plans went awry the one after the other was due to the fact that no photo graph of Webb could be obtained It is related that picture of the man, taken 10 years ago, was found Experts in va rious lines of endeavor-artists, physi- clans and scientists-were employed to build" a photograph from that of the boyish Webb. The alleged likeness was constructed. But when shown to those

Smile Makes Him Money

If you speak to a friend of J. Leon- ard Replogle, young man who has attracted attention by his success as a financier, he will say that Replogle's smile helped him to succeed. In the American Magazine a writer says:
 Tn Replogle's struggle to reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune is story which would rival one of flora tio Alger's thrillers. Twenty-seven years ago sturdy. bright-eyed. red checked boy of II became an errand boy in the big Cambria steel plant at Johnstown. Pennsylvania. The son of struggling minister and one of . growing family of six. the boy had to leave school after the Johnstown flood had cut a large hole in the family purse.
 Young Replogle made good at once He had a captivating smile which won friends. the same smile that later won the confidence and trust of older and more experienced men. That smile It Is almost a grin--is one of Rem logle's biggest assets. It Is money- maker.
 For three years he carried mes sages. and then became a clerk Tho shipping department was his next sten forward and after a year there young Replogle decided he would be real steel man some day. so entered the Aiiis' Al 10 ne Was assistant su- perintendent of the forge and axle de- rartment, and three years later ad- vanced to superintendent. being the youngest man ever to hold that posi- ton.
 Not content with this success, he sought new fields of conquest. Night and day he studied the steel industry.

the money, but that it would be her death warrant to tell the secret She promised, however, two days later so to manuver that Webb would become informed without her oral assistance One day later, despite his hope of re- covering the money, Webb disappeared
 He had received information of the fact that the government had about located him and was preparing to bounce down upon his retreat. The government is of the opinion that as a rule. Webb committed his crimes through other individuals. It Is the theory of the government that this master mind would by a long and tedious process involve certain young men deeply in debt. This he would bring about by lending them money And then when all the future was apparently hopeless, he would show them the way into the light He would tell them of a certain mail loaded with federal certificates-and how by bit of daring and clever manipula- ton that money could be obtained without great risk of capture He was evidently great word painter. At any rate, the government believes has reason to believe-that in the above manner, Webb acquired his are now paying the cost in federal
 The government does not believe that it will be troubled in convicting Webb It contends that it has a simple and completed case. Nevertheless the man up to the present time is in the sight of the law, innocent Perhaps ne committed none of the crimes the government charges he committed

HAD WRONG MAN ONCE

pride got the better of his judgment With his freedom he paid for his folly
 HAD WRONG MAN ONCE Some years ago officials arrested man lat Alexandria whom they were convinced was Webb. The man could give no ac- count of himself, and the resemblance was In every respect remarkable. To the of ficials he declared himself a resident of Chicago. But he could not name the postmaster or the mayor of that city Detectives, full of hope, carried the man before a former member of the gang-an individual named Harrison-held at Mar tinsburg, Va. Harrison gazed at the prisoner without speaking. The silence became oppressive. The prisoner before the apparent doubt of Harrison, lost his nerve.
 For Gods sake-speak!" he finally ex- claimed.
 At the sound of the voice Harrson's S doubt vanished. He knew that the man was not Webb. And turning back to his cell, he laconically remarked:
 You have the wrong fellow" That was just one of innumerable in- cidents connected with the long search which government officials are relating But the most remarkable occurred in In- d1anapolis not very long ago. According to the government, after the robbery of an Alabama Great Southern train near Chattanooga, Webb concealed his share of the rich booty in a 12-inch piece of lead piping, sealed at either end This piping was buried on the top of Look out mountain. Some months after the robbery Webb unearthed the piping and putting it in suitcase, left Chattanooga for Indianapolis. There he took lodging in what is known as a cheap boarding house. He concealed his improvised money chest behind a washstand and whenever in need of cash he simply extended his finger into the opened end and extracted as many bills as he desired.
 One night Webb, returning home for money, found his piping gone. Someone had stolen it. He complained to the landlady, who professed ignorance Later Webb conceived the idea that the son of the landlady had stolen his money With companion he beguiled the boy, a lad of 13, into taking an automobile ride When they had cleared the town and entered stretch of woodland, the men bound the boy hand and foot and putting a rope around his neck, told him very candidly that unless he returned the monty he would be hanged. The boy pleaded but to no avail. He was tor tured by threat and action. But nothing could he relate. Finally, the men evolved another scheme. The boy was forced to telephone his mother. He told her of the situation in which he was-for he be- in tears, he exclaimed: Mother, if you know anything about that money, you must tell"
