convinced the case was a police-made
one, and that "Hannah Graham” was
a myth and that the other women

New York, Nov. 22.—Facts of a high
ly Interesting, not to say sensations!,

and certain friends and allies of the ex
iled "boss” In this city, came to light
today. They uncover the motive be
hind Croker’s cable'message’to Senator
••Pat” McCarren on the eve of the re
cent election and his subsequent criti
cism of Charles F. Murphy's leadership
of Tammany Hall, and add an enter
taining chapter to the history of the re
cent campaign. . .
So long aa secrecy was deemed Im
portant for the development of the
plana of Croker and his New York
correspondents the scheme was guard
ed with Jealous care, but with the
abandonment of the plans the need for
secrecy passed also, and the facts were
given fre«ly. The P«r«on*4 landing of
the Democrat who fumlehed the facte
would be a eufliclent guarantee of their
authenticity, but. In addition, he ehow-
ed a letter written by t.roker that rs-
moved the last reason for doubt.

Worried nml restless from a well-
grounded intuition that something was
wrong at his cigar stand and pool
room at 24 West Alabama street, T. B.
Bowen, the proprietor, better known a*
“Major," arose from hi* sleepless bed
after 1 o'clock Thursday morning and
returned to his place of business'to
find that burglars had broken In and
appropriated 21 In change. They left
everything else except a clew.
Shortly before Major Bowen closed
his pool room Wednesday night, three
sinister looking Individuals came in out
of the dark and took seats In the comer
to watch a game of pool that waa Just
being wound up. One of the men was
more exclusive than the other two and
took a seat by himself In the comer.
He appeared to be Intoxicated, but
watched the proprietor count up hla
day's receipts and place some money
In a box In ths cigar case for change
for the morning clerk. After the place
was closed up two followed the Major
toward Broad atreet, while the other
went toward Forsyth.
Major Bowen noticed their actions
and thought them suspicious charac
ters, but dismissed the matter from
his mind when he boarded the mid
night car for hla home at 202 Forrest
avtnue.
After going to bed Major Bowen be
gan to think of last Halloween, when
robber* broke Into hla stand and an
nexed a fountain pen, some chewing
gum, tobacco, two SO-cent shin-plasters
and about 210 worth of cigars. The
more he thought of It the more certain
he became that things were not right,
as he had left them Wednesday night.
”1 Just couldn't stand It any longer,'
said Major Bowen Thursday.
J ouldn’t sleep, because I had a hunch—
ust a feeling that things were not
right. I u ‘ ’

found, sure enough, that the rear
window had been broken open. I made

who cornea early every morning had
been taken. They bothered nothing
"Tho hunch wrji a good one, but tho
burglar* had gono when I got back.
I am having a set of Iron bars made
for that window, but maybe they won't
bother me any more."
