Chicago. "Big .lo»*'’ Moran, safe
blower who .some tittle ago escaped
from the CooU count \ jail, is more or
less s**curely locked up in the Joliet
prison and bitterly deriding “rube eon
stables" and their “Wild West" stuff.
Hut it was the kind of taunting si
small boy <loes when he has a nice
high fence between himself and a
larger boy. "Big Joe" Moran wasn’t
quite up to Ids tough reputation when
he was in the arid climate of Alama
gordo. N. M.. and under the cold eye
of the sheriffs "forty live,” according
to the story that drifted back to Chi
cago when Moran was brought hack.
The man who brought him hack was
the man who captured him- Peputy
Sheriff C. II. Haynes of New Mexico.
“Behaved All Right.”
Sheriff Haynes is as much of the
West ns the alkali dust and cactus.
He Is tall and lanky and there are
wrinkles about his gray eyes that
speak humor as well as long days
squinting across the hot, sunbaked
stretcher of the desert country.
Peputy Haynes grinned when he
was asked of the capture and conduct
of "Big Joe" Moran.
“Oh. the gentleman behaved all
right.'’ lie said. "I sort of knew he
was hiding out at this May Wallace’s
place where we got him. I don't care
tnueh about gun play, so. when I went
to take him with a couple of the hoys
we pretended like we were oil a hunt
for slackers. I went right up to May’s
hack door and went in. She said she
was alone, hut there were two plates
set on the table.
"So I start toward her room. She
runs ahead of me. When 1 get thdre

"It really isn’t a gun, at that. More

just iiiommI my hand toward m\
Tlon He d«*eitled to emm* along* He
wasn’t so darned hostile.
"In the jail I put a man in guard
him. Moran got a little braver and
said: ‘There’s a weak spot in the jail.
I’ll gel out.’
"The man who was guarding Idm
said : ‘Tin-re's a strong spot. too.
"When it came time to bring him
l*a k to Chicago this Moran began to
act like he diil here, according to what
the\ tell me. He said he wouldn’t
leave. So 1 unba ked tin* cell door and
went in and got him. 1 showed him

"He knew I had the old .In with
me and we didn't even have to put the
handcuffs on him.
"<>h yes, the gentleman helmv m1 all

As for my .4IV—well, he Just can t tol
