Swindlers Have Hard Time in Once Fertile Field HENLEY ROUTS CROOKS IPC ■ \\ W lip- dr, ' W ■ & • flaw® ■ bIWLW i Hi BkX % ~ 'I \ /1 I' "■ * < A \ wk - . / \ \ wBL 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. nishes the ocean from taking the shl] away from the unsuspecting. 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.
