This was some of the .,h„k 1, r. 1 told them where 1 found it. Imt as I would not tell them win, I wa*. or anything about myself, my find was declared too thin. Tndcr • the same cuenui-tances to-day I would the occasion, a> l tin newspapers pu me down ns one of the sharpest and shrewdest thieves in the country. Every j inducement was held out to me to give , confederates, who were sup P? 8 ^ to be older men and tougher characters, and my inability to do it city when thd captured, 1 w 18 ®“ W and that I tho ! was , showing ^ myself (^,4,. e.p.uly and boldly. 4 It | | ^ ha t « , hHt » robber 0u i d hangalxiut toxvn with his pockets full of plunder, but they got over this by say ug it was a shrewd move on my part to throw them off the scent. Had I acknowledged my identity, Uncle Jabez would have come on to de fend and clear me, but would have also taken me back and thrashed me within an inch of my life. I dreaded him more than state prison, and, therefore, when the trial came on I had nothing to say, and Was sentenced to state prison for three years. I I was glad of it. and I would be of age wbea came out, as no ana would hear of me ia the interval, I ft * The fact that I served only four months of my sentence was due to the efforts of one old detective in another case. I had forgotten to tell you that the jeweler and two of his clerks had “fully identified" me as “a person who had been in the store several times just previous to the robbery.” The proprie¬ tor swore that he sold mo a ring for $2, and one of the clerks testified on the stand that I stood for half an hour and bartered with him about a silver watch. “Then you positively swear he is the person?” asked my counsel in each case. “I do,” was the decided answer. I could have shown that I was twenty five miles away at the time, and that I had never stepped foot in Cleveland be¬ fore the morning of my arrest, but, for reasons which I have stated, I made no effort in my own defence. I went off to prison with a comparatively light heart, knowing my own innocence. 1 had been a convict for four months when one day, I was called into the Warden’s office. There were several- gentlemen present, and among them I recognized the Cuya¬ hoga county Prosecuting Attorney and two Cleveland detectives. The Prosecu¬ tor began by declaring that I was an in¬ nocent man, and then asked for my story. Under promise that they would not betray that me, I gave it to them. It seems the detective, ill working on another case, had fallen upon the jew¬ elry robbers and secured most of the plunder. There were three of them, all okl hands, and the stuff I found had been lost by them as they drove out of the city. Robbers though they were, they did me a good turn by denying that I had any hand in the affair. Indeed, after the ease was opened, the detectives saw that a blun dor had been made in arrest ing me. Thc gentlemen had come with a pardon from the Governor, and I re¬ turned to Cleveland with them on tho promise of employment. To test the value of thc people at the jewelry store a* witnesses the detective took me in there and asked if they had ever seen me before. Four months could not have changed mo much, and yet those who had sworn so boldly i against mo on thc stand denied r noxv h.avi ng ever seen me before. I have been a detective for year.*, but that circumstance has always been uppermost in my mind when I had a ease where thc identity of a prisoner was to be sxvorn to, I have always cau¬ tioned my witnesses not to testify unless satisfied beyond all doubt. My caution lms several times operated to let a bad man escape the clutches of the law, but that wa* better titan to swear an innocent man’s life or liberty away.

Not the slight f oro that wa » ncpd vd to clear him. It wa* strange, everybody said, why Sweet had not gone to the house to see the owncrof the mules; why he had not been seen on the road or in the fields; Why if alive, he had not shown a since. It was evident that there bee i foul play. Miller was the last per son in his company. His disordered clothing, the blood spots, his pallor and mental anxiety. Why when I went ell over it in my owe mind it almost seemed to me as if he vraa guilty. I aay almost, for I could not quite believe it of him. While the prosecution could not produce the body as a proof of the murder, they had plenty of circumstantial evidence,, and Miller was held to the higher court, vrith^ ev e r ybody believing influx guilt. fore his trial as a novelist could imagine. I was in a small town fifty miles frotn Clarksville, and had stepped into a plug grocery of kept by an old woman, to get a taincer, tobacco, when her son, a moun came in from his place, thir¬ teen miles away. The two exchanged salutations in my presence, ard the mother asked: “Has the stranger gone yet?” “No,” replied the son. “And do you think he is daft ?’’ “'Pears that way.” “llow is his hurt ?” “Better, I guess.” Then their conversation turned into other channels, ami I went out. In ten minutes I went back again. An in¬ fluence which I cannot explain any more than I could resist sent me back to ask; “You were talking about a stranger. Have you some unknown man at your house? “Yes, sir. lie came six or eight weeks ago. I think he has been hurt and has lost his mind. I have told him he must go, but he erics and begs to stay, and he has paid us very well for his keen." He described Sweet to a dot, nnd three hours later I had identified the man who was supposed to liavo been murdered by Miller. Iu three days I had him at Clarksville. That knocked flic murder theory in the head, of course, but the prosecution then de¬ clared Miller had assaulted him with in¬ tent to kill and rob. A medical exami¬ nation showed that Sweet had been struck on the head and his brail) in¬ jured. I took him to Nashville,' put him in the care of a surgeon, and in four weeks he had his mind hack. The very lirst words lie uttered on coming to were; “And you can stop for me as you come back. u Four months’ time hail gone out of his mind, and ho began just where ho had left off as he got out of the buggy. In climbing thc roadside fence ho fell and struck his head against the log. He re¬ membered falling, but nothing further. A pressure of the skull upon his brain had produced an hallucination. He im¬ agined that he was hunted by robbers, and had made his way through forest and swamp to the cabin where l found him. His weight hail run down to 125 pounds, hair and whiskers had grown long, and only some lucky accident cot tld have identified him. t * 10 82,000 *o mm he i i had i with -.i i him • when i . lie drove out ot Clarksville every dollar was rc counted for, and he was eventually re stored to health aud strength. Ini* has been my personal experience with circumstantial evidence, and yet I dare declare my belief that it is thc best evidence in the world to convict the guilty on. It may have worked injustice in rare instances, but it has hung dozens of guilty wretches who xvould otherwise have escaped. —iVeia i ark- Sun.
