mill of the Santee Cypress Lumber
company, but the details were lack

600 and saws about 50,000 feet of lum
ber a day. Insurance to the amount
of $07,000 is carried in a Charleston
agency, but the exact extent, of the
fir#, is not known and the losses cap-
not yet b P figured up. It is possible
that the fire was confined to the saw
mill proper, in which event the loss
will not be so very heavy.

Officer Broome, of K/u:nbla. Tues
day arrested C. J. Crawford, a negro
want'd in several cities for swindling.
Crawford, according to charges filed
against him by insurance companies
of M; con, Ga.. Newberry and Laurens,
represented himself to the negro
policyholders as a detective and would
by fright or some other way extort
money from them. He was reported
to t^e police by Thos. W. Brayan,
manager for a colored insurance com-1
oanv in Columbia, and his arrest fol- :

“Five times the unnerved policeman
fired close to the poor wretch’s head,
and always missed. Then the police
man fell over in a dead faint. Ho
aroused himself and handed the pistol
to the orother of the sufferer, saying:
‘Here, you shoot him: I can’t’
“The brother took the revolver, j
fired once, and ir was all over. I iearu-;
ed that he went straight to the Hall!
of Justice and gave himself up. As j
soon as ho had told his story thev set |
• him free.’’
! Clark said the prisoners were con-
! fined on the fifth Moor of the Hall of
Justice.
j “When the shock came, the guards
fled,” ho added. “Wo were unable to
ge: out and heard the huge tower fall
over our heads. The destruction
made us think a gang was dynamiting
tho building, perhaps to free some
murderer. Wo were buried deep in
debris. After an hour the attendants
returned and dug us out.
“Some of tho prisoners accused of
nettv offences were set free then by
Judge Caban/agh. Tho rest of us. In
cluding some women, were taken to
the square T mentioned and thence
to the Broadway county jail, an old
Spanish prison with dungeons. On
Thursday the fire came so close to
this building we were marched seven
miles to Fort Mason. Afterward we
were taken by boat to San Quentin
prison, twenty-iWo miles away, hut
the warden there refused to receive
us. Later we were taken to Alcatrax
Island, which had been so badly shak
en that there was a fissure across It.
The Island. I was told, had sunk three
feer seven inches.
“On my wav out to San Francisco
last July my train was in a wreck and
several persons were injifred. I was
nighu clerk at the Hart apartments
In San Francisco, and If I had not
been in prison no doubt I would have
been kllfcd. by the earthquake, for
that building was demolished.”
James Buchanan, a well-known jock
ey, has arlved here with a companion
named Newell. He said that .after
the shock he was taking care of a
woman and her baity in Golden Gate
park, when a militiaman set him to
work burying the dead.' He weighs
only 100 pounds.
“While I was at work at the grave
trenches,” said the littel man, “a man
spoke t6 tho soldier who was guard
ing us and said he thought a dead
woman lying near us was his mother
and begged leave to identify the body.
While he was kneeling over her. ap
parently in the greatest grief, a
wounded man sitting near should to
the soldier:
“ ‘Shoot that scoundrel, he’s a
ghoul!’ And so he was. Tho soldier
saw him taking the rings out of the
woman’s ears and fired. The fellow
rolled over dead. H P had an earring
in his month.”

Brings Back Duplicate.
New York, May 2.—A remarkable
verification of the value of thumbprint
identification was received today by
Inspector McLaughlin, of the detec
tive bureau, in a letter from the chief
of police of London. The letter con
tained the picture and record of Dan
iel Nolan, known also as Henry John
son, whose thumb print, without his
name or description, w’as sent to Lon
don a couple of weeks ago to test the
efficiency of the method. By means
of the print alone the English police
identified Nolan, whose record here
Includes eight imprisonments on
charges of larceny.
Nolan was caught by the Inspector
in the corridor of the Waldorf-Astoria
on April f>. There were no charges
against him in this country at the
time, but the Inspector decided that
Nolan was an English “crook.” It
was found that two patrons of the ho
tel had been robbed, and Nolan was
accused. On Friday last he was found
guilty and sentenced to seven years,
four years on one charge and threo
on another charge.
Meanwhile, the inspector sent the
thumb prints of the prisoner fo Ixm-
don. In the mail today came a photo-!
graph of Nolan, a duplicate photo
graph of his thumb print, and ids
record.
