Tony Caponi writes Sandy O'Neill
he's coming back this way ere long
with Roy Moore. Tony has been
busy in the east for the last six
months, but the little freak wop

there are too many to take it. Tony
has boxed several preliminaries in
Madison Square garden. He won
there Tuesday night in six rounds
with Sammy Greensman in the
curtain-raiser for the DeFoe-Seiger
bout. Tony manages to fight two
and sometimes three times a week,
SO if he's wise he'll stay east.

minute! What for?" Before Palmer
had finished talking Blaine had
grabbed the bandit by the shoulder.
Palmer began sQuirming, broke
loose and ran to the stairway. As
he descended the first flight and
came TO a turn he reached for his
own gun and had 1t half drawn
when Blaine shot twice. The first
bullet entered Palmer's right chest,
penetrating the lung. The bandit
doubled up. causing the second shot
10 pass over his shoulder. He col
lapsed, rolled down the second
flight Of stairs, his body lodging on
the first landing, money scattering
about him.
While waiting tor the ambulance
Palmer talked to "A World reporter.

please don't let me die. I'm not
professional stick up man. I've
pulled only a few jobs

tnued: III | die, notify my sister

that and other oil companies recent
ly reduced their forces.
In explaining how Wells and
Mitchell escaped from tho building
although plainclothes officers
watched every exit, Captain Blaine
said that in the excitement he got
only a casual look at Mitchell and
while he had him covered, he nesi.
tated, believing him to be an fnno-
cent man and Mitchell got away
iooling one of the officers on the
street. while Wells fled from the
Third street exit, disappearing in
the crowd before the officers could
grab him. Both probably escaped
wounds or death through hesitancy
ot the officers to fire because OF un-
certainty as to the mems identity.
The first inkling that the 100 men
and women on the floor OF the E1ks
dance hall knew that an attempt
hAd been made to stick up the
place was when they heard the Of
flcers' three shots. Several women
screamed in fright, but Mrs. Tucker
went to the door, ordered the or
chostra to keep on playing and ev-
eryone to stay within the dance hall
Tho swinging door to the dance
room, about 10 feet away from the
table of Mrs. Tucker, where the rob,
berry attempt was made, was closed
until after the wounded bandit had
been taken away.
Mitchell, the last of the trio to be
captured, refused TO talk when ques-
TONED by officers early this morn

and robbery and continually protestet
his innocence. After moro than AN
hour OF questioning, ne was finally
locked In jail. He will again be
questioned today, officials say.

Residents of Tulsa

When is tract of land not in
the city? That's what City
Auditor Mrs. Frank Seaman wants
to know,
In a letter 10 the mayor and
commissioners she asks for legal
opinion from the city attorney as
to whether the several tracts and
parcels OF land taken into the
city September %, 1919. by the
Hubbard administration, under or
dinance No. 2OO2, are in reality
Il part OF the city.
Numerous calls have been re-
ceiyed from residents of those
tracts asking whether they are
required to pay taxes, on their
dogs and IL they are otherwise
subject to special requirements
from the city. Some OF these
tracts arc within the limits as
shown on the official maps, yet
they wcye not included az the re-
quest oN property owners
The tracts upon which Mrs.
Seaman asks for an opinion are
the Daniels tract. Reserve tract,
at the northeast corner of Ilill-
crest addition; Reserve tract.
south of the Barton tract be-
tween Pearl and quincy, Reserve

Novelist Studies
Law and Medicine

T BELIEVE I got my interest in
criminology right from the fact
that a famous case of fraud was
heard at the Quarter Sessions at a
town where I was at school--its cir
cumstances were unusual and mystic
rious and the truth hard to get at:
oddly enough, have never yet used
this as the basis of n story. Then.
when ] left school, | meant to be a
barrister and I read criminal law and
attended a great many famous trials
Tor some time. But turning to journal
ism instead, / knew of n great many
queer cases and mysteries. and now
and then did special commissions" for
various big papers on famous murder
trials. Also, | learned great deal
ABOUT criminology i'm conversations
with the late III. B. Irving, the famous
actor, who was an expert in GRIMM
ology and wrote several books on the
subject. I have always kept up my
reading in criminal law and in medical
science as related to criminology: in
addition to that / never deal with facts
with which | am not thoroughly ac-
quainted-no guesswork! am par
ticularly careful about getting abso-
utely accurate details of things--even
down TO the exact time of train
starting. Many of the situations in
my novels which critics have thought
impossible or far-fetched have actually
happened in real life--indeed, my own
conviction after a close study OF the
whole subject is that no novelist
who has ever lived or will live can
possibly invent fiction which can he as
strange as the strange things of real
life. The undercurrents of real every
day life are amazing--if one only gets
down to them j. S. FLETCHER.
