Indianapolis, lnd„ July 8.—In reply ing to John W. Kern. Tom Taggart's attorney, who declared that the raiding of the casinos at French Lick Springs and West Baden was a political move. Attorney General Charles W. Miller scored Taggart and bis associates. "Mr. Kora says the casino Is in no way connected with the hotel, the building being built elmply for bowling and billiards and situated on the com pany’s grounds," said Mr. Miller.

"You mean you break Into them—you— you—” "Yes,” laughed the other, “that's what they say.” He did not look to be over twenty- two or three, though, aa Jurgls found afterward a, he waa thirty. He apoke like a man of education, like what the world calls a "gentleman." “Is that what you'ro here forr Jur gls Inquired. "No," waa the'aaswer. "I’m here for disorderly conduct. They were mad because they couldn't get any ovl- denCe.” "What’s your name?" the young fel low continued, after a pause. “My name's Duane—Jack Duane. I’ve more than a dozen, but that’s my company one." He seated himself on tbe floor with hla back to the wall and hla legs crossed, and went on talking easily; he soon put Jurgls on a friendly foot ing—he waa evidently a man of the world, used to getting on. and not too R roud to hold con venation with a mars iboring man. He drew Jurgls out. and heard all about hla lift—all but tha one unmentionable thing; and then he told stories about hla own life. He waa a great one for stories, not always of the cholceat. Being sent to Jail had apparently not disturbed hla chearful- nesa; he had “done time" twice before, It seemed, and he took It all with a frolic welcome. What with women and wine end the excitement of hie vo cation. a man could afford to rest now and then. Naturally the aspect of prison life waa changed for Jurgls by tha arrival of a cellmate. He could not turn hla face to the wall and sulk. He had to apeak when he waa spoken to. Nor could he help being Interested In the conversation of Duans—tha first edu cated man with whom be had ever Miked. How could he help listening with. wonder while the other told of midnight ventures and perilous es capes, of feastlnga and orgfta, of for tunes squandered In a night? The young fellow had an amused contempt for Jurgls, aa a sort of working mnle. He, too, had felt the world’s Injustice, Maier & Berkele. had struck back, and rtrud waa striking all tha time. There waa war between him and society. He waa a genial freebooter, living off the ene my, without fear or shame. He waa not always victorious, bat then defeat did not mean annihilation, and need not break hla spirit Withal hs was a good-heartad fel low—too much so, It appeared. His story came out, not In the first day, nor the second, but In the long hours that druKK' 1 '! tiy. In whl'-h tli.-y In n I nothing to do but talk, and nothing to talk <if lint thi'iiwlvi’i. Jm’k Duani' was from the Bast; he was a college- bred man—had been studying electri cal engineering. Then hie father hod met with misfortune In business ond killed himself; nnd there hail been his mother and a younger brother nnd sis ter. Aleo, there was an Invention of Duane's; Jurgls could not understand it clearly; but It had to do with tele graphing, and It waa a very Important thing—there were fortunes In It, mil lions of dollars. And Duane had been robbed of It by n great company, and B it tangled up In lawaulte and lost all a money. Then aomebody had given him a tip on a hone race and he had tried to retrieve hla fortuna with another per son's money and had to run away, and all the rest had come from that. The other aaked him what had led him to safe-breaking—to Jurgls a wild and ap palling occupation to think about. A man ha had mat, hla cellmata had re- B lied—one thing leads to another. Hdn't he ever wonder about hla fam ily? Jurgls aakad. Sometimes, the other answered, but not often—he didn't allow It. Thinking about it would make It no better. Thla wasn't a world In which a man had any bust ness with a family; sooner or later Jurgta would find that out also and give up the fight and shift for himself. Jurgls waa ao transparently what he pretended to be that hla cellmata waa as opan with him aa a child; It waa pleasant to tell him adventures, ha was so full of wonder and admiration, he waa ao new to the ways of the coun try. Duans did not even bother to keep back names and places—hs told all his triumphs and hla failures, hla loves and his griefs. Also he Intro duced Jurgls to many of ths othsr E rlsoners, nearly half of whom he new by name. The crowd had at- him "the etlnker." This waa cruel, but they meant no harm by tt, and he took It with a good-natured grin. Our friends had caught now and then a whiff from the sewers over which hs lived, but this was ths first lima that ha had aver been splashed by their nith. This Jail was a Noah's ark of the city’s crime—than ware murderers, "hold-up man" and burglars, embes- slera, counterfeiters and forgers, biga mists, "shop lifters," "confidence men," petty thieves and pickpockets, gam blers. and procurers, brawlers, beggars, tramps and drunkards; they were black and white, old and young, Americans and natives of every nation under the aun. There were hardened criminals and Innocent men too poor to give yet In thefr teens. drainage of ths gnat festering ulcer of society; they upon, alrkenlng to talk to. All turned to rottenness and stanch In them—love was a beastliness, Joy was a snare, and Ood waa an Imprecation. They strolled here and there about tbe courtyard and Jurgls listened to them. He was Ignorant and they were wise; they had been everywhere and tried ev erything. Into this wild beast tangle these men had been borne without their consent, they _ had Uken part In It because they could not help It; that they were In Jail was no disgrace to them, for the game had never been fair, tha dies were loaded. They were swindlers end (Aleves of pontiles end dimes, and they had been trapped and put out of the way by the swindlers and thlsves of millions of dollars.

It waa even filthier and more crowded than tbe county Jail; all the smaller fry out of the latter had been sifted Into It—the petty thieves and swlnd- ll. lent, the brawlers and vagrants. Fo his cell-mate Jurgls hod an Itallai his graft to the policeman, and been arrested for carrying a large pocket knife; as hs did not understand a word of English our frtand was glad whan he left.
