THE THIRD DEGREE.
HOW IT VvWS WORKED ON SUSPECTS
v BY INSKOTOft BYRNES.
tbe shrewd Catcher of Criminal* Had a
War of Making the Guilty Ones Confess,
How McGloin Was Brought to Time and
Increased eke Ho pa Collection.
Scenes—intense, dramatic, horrible
beyond conception to the mon who are
compelled by a subtle force, a moral
magnetism, to convict themselves with
their own uncontrollable words—are not
Infrequent at police headquarters.
An interesting case was that of Mc-
Gloin, a tough who killed a French
man. There was little positive evidence
against him. Everything was supposi
titious, but Thomas Byrnes' supposi
tions in matters of that kind are likely
to be not far from right. He w;is
reasonably certain that McOloin was
guilty, and that there had been three
witnesses of the crime. The names and
Whereabouts of these probable witnesses)
be knew. McGloin had also pawned a
pistol. Byrnes guessed that it was the
pistol with which the crime had been
Committed. But he had not a particle
of proof of any one of these things.
One <Jay, however, he had McGloin
and the three other men arrested, tak
ing care that no ono of the quartet
should know thst tlio others had boon
captured, giving no one of them an in
kling of why he had been taken into cus
tody. This also occurred during Byrnes'
term as inspector. He occupied tho
room now used by Inspector McLaugh
lin, and around its walls in those days
were the cases of implements and me
mentoes of crime now on exhibition in
the museum across the hall. Into this
room, where, ns he entered, a tall glass
case full of tho ropes and black caps
which had fipurcd in the city's execu
tions stared him in the face, McGloin
w-as led. Neither the surroundings nor
the fact that he was to be closeted with
the feurous police official worried him,
however. He was full of the bravado
ef the "tough."
One of tho windows of this room
look* cut upon the courtyard in the cen
ter of the building. Inspector Byrnes
placed a chair so that its back was
close aginst this window, and another
facing it, with only room for knees be
tween it and the casing. To the latter
chair McOloin was led. As he sat
there he had a full view of the court
yard. Byrnes sat in the other chair,
"with his back to it. Close on Byrnes'
tight was n desk.
Thus arranged, the plot began to un
fold. For 10 minute* the inspector
talked earnestly to the prisoner without
.good result. Then ho touched a bell.
The door of tho room opened, and an
' obsequious Jew entered, and approach
ing the desk laid on it a pistol. Mr-
Gloin's attention was attracted by the
noise of the newcomer, and he turned
to see)—the pi6tol with which he had
killed the Frenchman and the pawn
broker to whom he had pledged it.
Without a word, but keeping his eyes
on McGloin's, the Jew backed out of
the room. It waa a good deal of a
shock to McGloin, but not enough to
break down his bravado.
"What in does this mean?" he
demanded boldly.
"Oh, nothing," replied the inspector
.nonchalantly. "It is merely a pistol I
▼wanted to Bee." Then ho picked it up.
"Handsome weapon, isn't it, McGloin?
•Might kill a man, eh?"
Then, laying tho pistol down again,
Mie inspector went on calmly talking
(about the crime. McGloin, beginning
to feel the mystery, the dramatic force
cf it all, was getting nervous. He looked
tor a moment at the inspector, but one
long, steady, searching glance from
those penetrating eyes made him quick
ly turn away and direct his paze out of
the window into the courtyard again.
Thus relieved of the strain of seeing
disagreeable things, he began to regain
his self possession. "A man named
Barber saw th;it crime committed,"
■aid the inspector quietly. McGloin
started a trifle nt hearing the name.
Then Byrnes saw his face pale, and his
mouth twitch, and knew that Barber
was being led across tho yard between
two officers, and that McGloin was
watching them. Even this did not
break McGloin down, however. Five
minutes later, though, when Flint, the
second witness, was inarched between
two bluecoats across tho court, he start
ed almost from his chair. "Sit still,
McGloin," said Byrnes impassively.
"Another of those witnesses I spoke
about wae named Flint." From that
timoon McGloin weakened. Then, hav
ing spoken about Flint's connection
with the crime, Byrnes said, a tew min
utes later, "And the third witness. Mc-
Uloin, was Henry Farley." As the
words left Byrnes* lips Farley began a
slow progress across the yard. Byrnes
had worked the third degree. McGloin
yielded all at once. With n cry of ter
ror, he literally sprang from his chair,
and falling to his knees clasped Byrnes
about his legs, crying like a child, con
fessing and begging tho inspector not to
have him ha&ged. His prayer was not
grunted, however. Ho was executed a
pear later in tho Tombs yard, and the
three witnesses were sent to state prison
for 13 years each. Among those ropo
lads and black caps in that glass case
Bow is one bearing on n bit of cardboard
the name "McGloin."—New York

Raman Hair Trafllc.
Eight earn loaded with human hair
arrived in Paris recently, consigned to
dealers in that merchandise. The hair
came from India and China, whence
thousands of pounds are annually sent
to England and France. This traffic,
a foreign medical journal says, is the
canse of tho introduction of many dis
eases to Europe. The hair is cut from
persons after death in China, and al
though it is disinfected upon arrival in
France it often carries tho germs of
disease. Asiatic hair, owing in part to
its coarseness, can bo purchased cheap
ly, it selling often as low as a franc a
kilogram. Tho hair of Europeans, how
aver, averages about 100 francs for the
same amount.—New York Tribune.
An Amusing Mistake, p
"A man entered our store recently,"
said a bookkeeper the other day, '' and
made a rather amusing bkinder. I was
sitting behind my desk, writing, when
an elderly, well dressed man entered
and asked to see Mr. Mullett.
"I told him there was nobody of
that name in the store, but he did not
seem satisfied, for he said: 'Why, that
is strange. I was in here only two days
ago and talked to him.' From the de
icription he gave me 1 found that he
meant one of our clerks, and I said:
'Oh, you mean Mr. Hammer, don't
you?' 'Yes,' he said, 'I most have got
the names hammer and mallet mixed
up. "'—Philadelphia Call.
Novel Real Estate Boom.
A curious boom in land was recently
raised in Bnrmah by a cute native, re
lying on his fellow countrymen's su

Buddha with luminous paint and set it
up on his property, announcing far and
wide the marvels of the shining image.
Pilgrims flocked to the spot, were struck
with wonder, a pagoda was built, houses
sprang up, and the land owner made
his fortune.—Exchange.
