of }. W. Mccormack, OId-time
D. 6. Policeman

Ten years in the cavalry made
James William Mccormack an ex.
pert horseman, so it was but ma
tural that when he joined the
Metropolitan Police Department
in 1897 he should be made a mem.
Der of the mounted force.
For the next 10 years he served
in this branch, and was COM
mended many times for remark
able work. Once he captured a
notorious slayer Single-handed.
The man was attempting to escape
on a freight train when the young
officer gave battle and overpow-
cred him.
Another murder he solved was
killing with lathing Ratchet in
AnacoStia. With only the handle
Of the Ratchet to work on, he
solved the mystery and the MUIR
dered was hanged.
Still another remarkable case he
solved was a killing done with q
glass washboard.
when motorcycles replaced
horses, he was the first sergeant
to head the motorcycle detail.
Among his priced possessions are
a silver medal presented to him
by the Prince of Wales, now King
Edward VII Of England, and a
gold medal presented by the late
King Of Belgium. The medals
were presented by them to him for
his work in conducting the motor

MAXWELL GIRL
REJ0ICES0VER
NEW TRIAL

JONESVILLE, Va, Sept. IL.
Pale, broken in health by more
than year in jail, Edith Maxwell.
22-year-old mountain school teach
er, sat in her cell today, rejoicing
that her conviction on a charge of
killing her father and sentence Of
Is years in prison had been set
aside.
The Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals, sitting in its final seS-
sion Of this term at Staunton yes
terday, by vote Of 5 to 2 set
aside the verdict of the Circuit
curt Of Wise county, where IL
mountain men found the girl
guilty last November after dehb-
Grating less than an hour.
Conviction Attacked
The decision of the five justices
was that the facts in the case did
not justify conviction, and re-
manded the case back to the
lower court for retrial.
The young teacher first heard
the news when Justice of the
Peace w. B. Merriman came to
her cell and informed her Of the
decision. At first she seemed
dazed, for she had given up hope,
and then as the good news
dawned on her she smiled and
said:
81 certainly am happy. This
is the happiest day in my hfe."
PHONES MOTHER
Later she asked and was granted
permission to telephone to her
mother, Mrs. Ann Maxwell, who
was also indicted in the case but
has not yet been brought to trial.
Her mother said:
isn't this wonderful? Now,
perhaps, you will get justice at
the next trial"
The next step, defense attorneys
said, will be an attempt to secure
the release Of the young teacher on
bail pending the new trial. Pre-
vious attempts to secure her re-
lease failed, but it is believed in
view of the decision that bond will
now be set.
The girl was found guilty Of
killing her father, Trigg Maxwell,
when she struck him over the head
with her shoe as he attempted to
whip her for going to q dance
without his permission.

RESETTLEMENT
HASA SOCIAL
PROBLEM

Pity the poor Government
worker, the one who came here
from Oshkosh, or Squedunk, or
Wslla Walla.
It's kind Of tough on him so
cially, it appears, and the Resettle-
ment Administration employees
think something ought to be done
about fright away. They are so
willing to cooperate that they will
receive suggestions to better the
poor Government workers lot.
A Sad Ending
From Gertrude Grueger, in the
Resettlement Press comes the sad,
sad story Of the poor Government
workers plight.
He comes to Washington-or
maybe it's q She-and along about
seven o'clock, he starts to get
homeSick. Because at home he has
his friends and his favorite spots
for dining, dancing, swimming and
the like-in fact, he knows how to
enjoy himself inexpensively.
Comes a job in WaShington-and
what? He doesn't know what to
do with himself-inexpensively-
so he goes to sleep at $50.
But the native Washingtonian
has the answer, it is believed.
Hence the following notice:
anyone who can suggest q
novel and inexpensive means of
entertainment suitable to the
average ReSettlement emplOye
is requested to make his Sug.
gestion to the ReSettlement
Press. Contributions may be
given to building managers or
mailed to the editorial office in
the Adams Building"
z. Claude Babcock is out Of the
running in the A. F. G.. E. preSi-
Dental race, but there's no ques-
ton about the fact that the mere
mention Of the name Babcock can
start young storm among cam
paigners.
Advices from Detroit, where the
fourth annual American Fedora
ton of Government Employees
convention opens Monday, say Mr..
Babcock caused something Of a
stir before making an appearance.
Mr.. Babcock, who issued a pre-
dated resignation from the presi-
dency to take effect at the current
convention after he issued a
pamphlet to the Republican Ma
tional Committee attacking the
administrations alleged inroads on
the merit system, still holds much
influence, it seems.
Speculation is making the rounds
as to whether he will attend the
convention, and what he will do If
he does.
Thursday night, word went
around that he had arrived, but
had mysteriouSly disappeared al
most at once. It was reported
that Mr.. Babcock had registered
before the delegates arrived and
had checked out just before the
first of them checked in.
Official investigation, however,
revealed that the gentleman who
had checked in and out was I. B.
Babcock, an Illinois business man,
who probably doesn't even know
that E. Claude ever wrote to the
Republicans or that he's going to
resign.
Some people work for one en-
ployer for long, long time.
Take william S. O'Brien, for
instance. He worked for Uncle
Sam Al years, before he was
finally retired last month. Mr..
O'Brien, who lives at 800 w. Cliff
