John W. Henley, assistant United States district attorney.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Vir
tually Has Cleared North
Georgia of Bunco Men.
Members of that fraternity who gen
erously furnish the ocean while the man
with savings in the bank have learned
to go slow in the Northern district of
Georgia, unless the best of lawyers have
said the scheme was safe.
A quiet, studious, hard-working man
from Jasper, Pickens county, is the
cause.
His name is John W. Henley, and he
is down on the government payroll as
assistant United States district attor
ney, with headquarters in the Federal
building.
When President Roosevelt decided to
reward Colonel F. Carter Tate, a
staunch and loyal Democrat, for ex
cellent services performed in congress
by making him district attorney here,
tlie colonel looked for an able assis
tant.
Henley Proves To Be the Man.
He didn’t look far. His eyes got as
far as John Henley and remained there.
He knew of the good work Mr. Henley
had done as assistant solicitor general
for the Blue Ridge circuit, and he gave
him the job.
So the man from Jasper changed his
brand of crooks. Instead of prosecut
ing ordinary thieves and murderers, he
began getting a line on the higher class
of law breakers, whose specialty is easy
money.
Since he has been on the job as Colo
nel Tate’s assistant, there have been
manj’ noted cases which the govern
ment has intrusted to his care.
And for the most part the public has
known little, if anything, about Mr.
Henley’s connection with these cases.
For Mr. Henley is a poor press agent.
He hasn’t learned how to boost himself
with the newspapers and jimmy stories
into the papers about his prowess as a
crook prosecutor.
Trapping Clever Crooks.
Few people know how difficult it was
to send the Rome lawyer to the Federal
penitentiary a few years ago for con
nection with fraudulent clearing house
certificates when those pieces of paper
passed for real money during the 1907
panic. And fewer still know that it
was Mr. Henley who finally got the
lawyer in a uniform of the South At
lanta institution.
This lawyer knew the law —at least,
he thought he did—and nearly every
body said his operations were within
the law and that he couldn’t be con
victed. But the lawyer made one bad
break. And Mr. Henley found that
break The lawyer was careless enough
to post just one letter. Most of his
correspondence had been by telegraph
and by express, but one letter was
mailed.
And that one letter was the basis
upon which Mr. Henley worked and got
a conviction.
Another scheme which was worked
within the law until one of the schem
ers happened to mail a letter about it
was the nest egg swindle, and Uncle
Sam won out, through Mr. Henley.
No Place for Wallingfords.
There are dozens of eases which
would make interesting reading for J.
Rufus Wallingford and which would
show that financial faker that the
Northern district of Georgia would be a
dangerous place in which to operate.
If a few of his eases were told about,
they might curb the ambitions <>t In
dustrious young men who would imi
tate the fictitious Wallingford. It would
show them that easy money is not so
easy after all.
<'oionel Tate has not Indicated yet
whether he wants another term as dis
trict attorney. Those posted on tie
political matters say the colonel car
have the job again if In* wants it. But
whether In* wants it or not, it is safe t<
say that Mr Henley will continue hit
good W’ork of keeping the man who fur.

GIRL CUT TAKING KNIFE
FROM WOULD-BE SUICIDE
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17.—Michael Coyne,
24 years old, stood in the kitchen of his
home. 4007 Lucky street, and jabbed
at his throat with a butcher knife in
a desperate endeavor to commit suicide,
when his sister, Mary, saw him. With
a scream, she ran to him and attempted
to wrest the knife from his hands. He
fought to prevent her, and in the strug
gle the knife was drawn across the
right hand of Miss Coyne, nearly sev
ering the thumb and index finger. She
took the knife away from him, and
neighbors hold him while the police and
a physician were summoned.
