MOBILIAN FACES FOURTH TRIAL
 IN KILLING CASE
lJury Failed To Agree In Three Previous
 Hearings

MOBILE, Ala, June 15.-The fourth trial of Thomas W. Cleveland, 25 years old, arrested August 24, last, on a charge of killing Stephen Tossing, a 02-year-old wholesale seafood dealer. is scheduled to begin Monday morning in circuit court. Three previous trials resulted in the failure of the juries to agree. Definite announcement was made tonight by County Solicitor B. B. Chamberlain that the case would go to trial tomorrow. He said there will be no continuance unless something un- forseen occurs.
 Cleveland has been in jail since his arrest, despite several efforts to get him out on bail. He was arrested the day of the shooting, which followed a quarrel between members of the two families. John G. Cleveland, father of the defendant, who also was indicted, was convicted and sentenced to serve 15 years in the state prison. He still is in the Mobile jail awaiting the out come of an appeal to the supreme court. s. s. Cleveland, also indicted, was found not guilty. The coming trial of Cleveland will be unique in the circuit court here. Few persons ever have had four trials on any one charge in local courts. Outside of the interest caused by the prominence of both families in the southwestern part of the county, the trials of Cleveland have at tracted much notice, due to a number of charges being made. of attempting to influence members of the juries, and of perjury against some of the wit nesses for Cleveland in the case.
 It is expected that the trial will be concluded within a shorter time than the other hearings, as it is said there will be no new evidence.
 The aged man was shot, Cleveland alleges, when a gun, which he says he was attempting to take from Los sing went off

The most spectacular in performance are the motorcycle coppers. They go through streets crowded with fast nov ing traffic like dogs through a herd of stupid sheep. Nney slip crosswise through chinks so narrow tha: their el- bows almost touch the rear of one car and the radiator of another.
 It's no wonder that New Workers have an immense liking for their police men. Now and then, of course, some one rises to talk about corruption and this and that. The charges certainly were true in the days of Big Bill Dev- cry and his mates. But the New Yorker knows that whatever the po- licemRn may or may not be, he is all ways dead game.
 There came the sound of three shots up the street, above the roar of the cars that filled the avenue from bank to bank. One of the motorcyclists, driving at ifty-sixty-miles an hour, through weaving carpet of cars had fired the signal shots. A man on point stepped to the street intersection with his revolver ready. The three men in the stolen car knew the game was up. They slowed and silvered half way across the open point as they slammed on the brakes. When the motorcyclists got there they had their hands over their heads, their races pale.
 The whistle blew.
 The flow of motors began again. The man who had stopped the run aways seized an, agitated old woman by the elbow as she bobbed frantically on the current.
 Now, mother" said he, gently, take it aisy, mann. I'm here"

 Now and then listNof honor men is published, A paragraph to each, al most monoton0us in form, almost un- varying in story. The motto of the Canadian mounted police is Get Your Man." 4That.is no less the motto of the New York copper. He gets him, too.
 Bat Masterson used to- say that the secret of successful gun-fighting was to get the drop. Shucks! The New York gunn-man usually gets the drop. But the copper gets the man. In the latest list the gun-man had fired first in every one of dozen cases. Several times he had a. pal. Half a dozen times he fired from ambush in the dark. Two or three times the policeman was wounded before he had chance to fire. But they got their men, They know the sort of people they deal with here. They shoot to kill
