It has been a long story of crime,
a tragedy in which from time to
time more than a few malevolent
and some contemptible characters
have appeared. Tveitmoe, with his
bravado and contempt for the law
is a type, too frequent, we regrbt to
say, but, withal, not
figure. Ryan, with his puny de-,
fense, seems to have been a man
of good intents warped by position
and surroundings. McManigal, the
informer, subserved the ends of
the law, but despite that falls far
short of playing an admirable part.

ters that come into the scenes.

But Hockin for persona) advantage
betrayed or attempted to betray
both sides. While he was acting as
a trusted official of his union, he
was furnishing Burns with the in-
formation that was responsible for
the arrests and, finally, the convic-
tion of his friends and associates.
While.“running with tbe hare and
bunting with the hounds,’’ he was
planning more dynamitings for its
effect on hig union associates and
informing the detectives for a
