TINE occurrence of mysterious de-.
donations in various parts of the
world has long puzzled investiga.
tors No satisfactory solution of the
problem has yet been found. The noises
seem to be especially common in Aus.
tralia' where they are known as desert
sounds" and in the delta of the Ganges.
where they are called "Barisal guns.p
In New South Wales there has been
summarized the various explanations Of
the phenomena. The theories that have
found most favor attribute the sounds to
surf rollers, the falling in of river banks
earthquakes and to the sudden splitting
of rocks intensely heated by the sun.
The last explanation seems the most
plausible in the case of the desert sounds
Of Australia, which occur at long dis.
tances from the sea. 1t has been sug.
gested that the association of the sounds
with desert regions may be due merely to
the absence there of other sounds with
which they might be blended, or OF human
activities to which they might be attrib
uted.

in this life would swear that this Beat
teate is the man who robbed me-"
Neither the accused nor his relatives
had money with which to hire an attor-
ney. Detective Jamison guaranteed the
retainer to a criminal lawyer, who con.
scented to take the case on that basis.
The ex-convict was transferred from
the Berkeley city jail to the county Jail
and the District Attorney laid plans for
an early trial in the Superior Court.
Hard labor in the rock quarry at Fol-
som prison for life awaited the accused
upon conviction.

One cannot go into court and testify he

one has some very tangible, concrete evil
dence to present in support of that con-
tention.
Jamison had been unable to gather any
additional evidence in defense Of Beat
teate DR.. Schneider's findings were
laughed at as wild theories and no jury
would have weighed the evidence of the

haa not certain officers of the law de-
serted the historic role of prosecutors to
become detectives for the defense. To.
day Beatteate is in business for himself
and is leading an honest life. but his
criminal record even now goes against
him. Only the other day he was picked
up by the San Francisco police Just be-
cause he was an ex-con and they were
rounding up all the prison birds in search

The officers found Beatteate breakfast
ing at the home of his brother John, with
whom he was boarding. He protested his
innocence; his brother and sister-in-law
both declared that he had been going
straight since his release from prison,
and the three tried to establish an alibi
to prove that the suspect was in the house
at 1880 P. M. when the crimes were COM
mitted. They gave the officers the name
of the shop where George had been work.

Beatteate confronted me very calmly in

He was trail little fellow, Weighing only
about 125 pounds, and being less than 3

about by innocent enemies. All who
called for his Imprisonment were sincere
in their belief of his guilt. The prepon-
derance Of evidence was in favor of the
prosecution, and any one who defended
the accused became unpopular instantly.
",rhe man who shot Kirkbride held up
the street cars here" Jamison declared
after he had studied the two cases. "He
answers to the same description, he oper-
ates lone handed, he always boards the
cars about the same time Of night, he
lines his victims up as they were lined up
here and he makes his getaway the same.

So Jamison went after the man who
shot Kirkbride in order to save Peatteate'
Acting ON DR.. Schneider's tip that the
bandits associate undoubtedly would be
woman of the underworld, he gave most
of his attention to this class. First he
secured full list Of all jewelry and val
tables that had been taken in all the car
holdups. Conspicuous among these was
the diamond studded cross. Then, In con-
junction with the pawn shop police in
various cities. he kept close watch on

stores. "a fence" is one who knowingly
handles stolen goods.)

of the loot had been taken. This con-

Six of these victims picked Beatteate,
two said they were morally certain he
was the man, but didn't want to send a
human being to the penitentiary on their
word, while two others admitted that
they were 80 badly scared that they would
not recognize the robber II they saw him
again. One said. Il would know that
man If saw his hide hanging to tree"
The first editions Of the newspapers
carried the story of the robberies and Of
the speedy, record breaking capture Of
the criminal, who had been identified by
nearly all his victims. The traction COM
pany had offered reward of $1,000 for
the capture Of any car bandit.
Beatteate was called master mind"
super criminal" and was held respon.
sible for the reign of terror that had been
established by the large number of street
car robberies.
The ex-convict's record, the fact that he
had robbed street cars before, the circum-
stance that he had been seen in the neigh
borhood and his Identification by. the VIC
Tins removed all doubt as to his guilt.
Then DR.. Albert Schneider made his
report.
you've got the wrong man, vollmer,"
he said. "Beatteate never committed
those robberies."
I was Inclined to laugh. But I knew
too well the accuracy Of Schneider's OBJ.
servations.

by 1915. I certainly was not in ,on this
job at 1880. Chief, am innocent. Don't
send me back to that penitentiary."
Beads OF perspiration stood out on his
forehead.
Your record Is against you, Beatteate."
told him. "You had better come clean
We have the goods on you You're going
to Folsom penitentiary for life this time"
He trembled so he could not speak.
The "post-prison horrors" which make
night hideous for felons just released
from penitentiaries for many months
after they are free, overcame him. At
last he said In a low voice:
MAY God forgive you II you do this
thing"
Never had I heard an ex-con make
such an astounding remark before. For
days after could close my eyes and hear
those words.
Come across, Beatteate," said rough
ly. Don't stall. We have an open and
shut case on you this time"
But he stood by his story.
At o'clock that morning we had a
Slineup." A score Of men, some of them
about the same size and description of
Beatteate, were lined UP in the jail corri-
dor. The accused was in the line, but
there was nothing to distinguish him
from the others. Some of these men we
had taken from the Jail for the purpose.
Others had been picked up on the general
roundup" order.
The ten victims of the three street car
holdups were brought in, one at time.
"Now be sure you are right before you
identify any one" I warned them. "If
you recognize the man conceal your
suspicious, Do not let him or any one
else know what you think. Tell no one
but Detective Jamison and myself whom
you suspect"

affects is not the kind found in this
razor"
II believe Beatteate is innocent" Jami-
son said, after he had read Dr. Schnei-
der's report Il didn't want to say so be-
fore, but the story he and his folks told
made me doubt our own theories. The
people are greatly aroused over this case
and every one believes he is guilty, so the
only thing we can do is to hold him and
postpone his trial long enough to enable
me to get the facts"
The prisoners words came back to me
wildly: -"God forgive you if you do this
thing" and in that moment I, too, knew
that this ex-convict in the city Jail was
innocent.
"You can save Beatteate only by find
ing the real robber," told Jamison. mo
one would believe DR.. Schneider's deduc.
lions in the face of such overwhelming
testimony. Go out and get the guilty
man.
So after building up "sure fire" case
against convicted felon, found myself
in the position of tearing 1t all down
again. Unconsciously ! had allied my
self with the defense. I, too. believed that
Beatteate was innocent. 1t would have
been as much as my position was worth
to have said SO.
At the preliminary hearing the six wit
nesses testified that Beatteate was the
man who had robbed them. One witness
