Answered tu Itcal Name*.
Tb#* postuflicc robbers answered to
the names *>f Kddle Fay and Richard
Harris. Police r f.ord3 in almost every
city of any slap* In this county show
that for more than fifteen years they
have been engaged in blowing safes,
looting poKtoftkes and robbing banks.
Hooks found in their possession after
their arrest showed that they had
planned a long series of bank and
post office robberies in the South and
had maps and drawings of the streets,
houses and alleys contiguous to the
institutions they planned plundering.
There seems every reason for believ
ing they are Kddle Fay and Kb hard
Harris.
Fay la known to be worth about
$400,000 <»r $500,000. lie bus a hand
some home in Chh ago. when it do* s
not make much difference whether a
man Is a thief or not. ho long as he
has the money. in addition to his
residence with many thousands of
dollars. Fay has a long string of
thoroughbred race horses, which he
hu.^ raved with great success on the
Pad' f eear*t and in the contra! West
He l»v. has large stock holdings, and
Its said to be the operator of a race
track poo! in Chicago. It would
seem now that Fay would be com*
! pi lied to pay the $t>,000 fine imposed
(upon him, but ht can evade payment
i by transferring his property to other
i j person*. He and Harris are further
•! safeguarded from serving more than
ten years in the Federal prison h\
the fa t that the statutes do riot pro
! vide any additional confinement il
j fines arc not paid. It is therefore ex
. ! tremoly unlikely that either of the
rr.n will serve more time than sever
| and a half years In the Atlanta peril

hftvlor Fay and Harris. as was

r {iitt m<in has yet to escape* from tb*
t j Atlanta prison. It is not likely thai
. they will be heard from in a crltnina
way before December, 1917.
Immediately after the prisoners en
tered the eourt room Judge Waddi!
ordered the jury called.
Attorney Smith naked that this hi
postponed to allow him time to with
draw the plea of not guilty entcrec
for the prisoners by the court and fib

END ABRUPTLY
Judge Waddill Calls Halt in Case
Against ('rouse Com
pany.
The ease of the city against the
Crouse Construction Company, which
has been progressing slowly in the
United States Circuit Court for the
past ten days, came to an abrupt end
Thursday morning, when Judge Ed
mund Waddill, Jr., rendered a decision
practically throwing the suit out of the
court.
In his decision Judge Wuddlll set
forth that the entire matter has been a
great expense lo both sides, especially
the Crouse Company. Concluding, the
Judge says:
“You will therefore be Instructed as
follows:
“The Jury are Instructed to find for
the defendant upon the suit of the City
of Richmond against the Crouse Con
struction Company, now being tried
before the court, and on the plea of
sot off filed by the Crouse Construc
tion Company filed herein by agree
! ment without formal plea, you are In
! strutted to find for the city.
"The Judgment of-"tha court will be
entered m accordance with the fore
going views, and requiring each party
to pay its own costs.
"In arriving at this conclusion, I
think It would be amiss ire me not to
say that It now appears from evideqep
that the etty Jias a satisfactory Hume
and under all the circumstances should
be satisfied."

Worth.
NEW YORK. April 21.—To th«
farmer who Just now 1* being blamed
for the high coat of meat product*
the wholesale grocer is to-day giving
credit for the downward march of
. prices of other food product*. But
the housekeeper, happy that at last
! there is a chance of a dollar purchas
ing the major portion of a dollar's
j worth, is hardly looking for anyone
to blame.
Tht decline reached the retailer to
day. Until this morning, while the
: wholesale list showed a material re
duction. the average common citlsen
, was unaffected. He was purchasing
the old stock, put on the shelve* at
the high figure. But the action of tha

Klour.-of 1 1-2 cents; beans. 15 cent*
a bushel; potatoes, 35 cent* a barrel:
eggs, fully GO per cent, lower than sir ’
I weeks ago; barley, off 2 cents a ')
t hnsTbP'dl; Oat* ali d Wat prod ucTsV TTdw1fl '
i 1G per cent.; all tanned goods re- ;
i duced nearly one-third. I
Market Hooded.
The reason for the drop, the whole- j
Balers sat, is that green goods and
fresh vegetable* are coming Into the
'market In wuth profusion that prtcea
of the fresh product were, in many
Instances, nearly a* low as the pre
served.
Halted meats of every description
will drop before the end of the week.
The usual summer reduction was an
■ nouneed by the trust agents here to
day. amounting to 11.50 a barrel. It
, is reported that as the result of the ■
drop many speculators, scattered over
the l ntted States, have been caught
long on pork and similar products,
and ure very heavy !o*er*. j
