He •was found polity of having driven the jtnotor car used by the gang In a .'jewelry robbery in January, 1926. He . r tfaces a certain long term, which may be as long as 40 years. When Itiihard Reese Whittemore |yf' was having his shojrt but sensational ifling through New York's crime world, 'INate Weinscimmer was to some extent associated with him. He went frequently under the name of Nate Wagner, but when the Whittemore gang was finally rounded up in the spring of 1026 the police could not connect him very closely with others In the crowd. They charged, however, partly on Btatements made by "Baltimore Wlljlle" Unkelbach, one of the first of v the privates to enlist with Whittemore, that Nate Wagner was the driver. It was he, so the police said, who picked out motor cars to steal, and then drove them to the various criminal rendezvous. And now a Jury, disregarding his alibi completely, has Bnid that on January 14, 1926, Nate Weinzimmer was at the wheel of the car which was used in t,he Albert Goudvis robbery in West Fortyv -eighth street, near Fifth avenue, .Manhattan. Whittemore's History. After a year or so in Balttooii, where he was arrested and broke Jail, murdering a keeper to get away, Richard Reese Whittemore, fairly well educated son of a prosperous family, . came to New York to get in on what, in 3926, looked like very easy money. * He brought with him "Baltimore Willie" and "Shuffles"' Goldberg, a former Brooklyn youth who had migrated to Philadelphia and got to know Dick ^Vhlttemors pfter the Baltimore jail break. - . It was a small, compact gang that -was foraged. Whittemore, who never rejoiced In any picturesque nickname, Then t£ere were and ^and Nate Vf gner, or VeinzTnittier.

Every one of these robberies was a large one. And every one was very {artfully planned. Every contingency, t seemed, was taken care of, as the robbers worked mostly in daylight and usually when crowds of passersby might easily, as the boys say, "Jam works." But until the Goudvis robbery, the police could* not get anywhere. Police Get Tip. Shortly after that a tip came to headquarters in Manhattan that led the detectives to "Shuffles" Goldberg. They picked that young man up in a _ Manhattan speakeasy and questioned Mm. There began then one of the most remarkable pictures of crime detection the city's police has ever known. Here was a gang which had been .working smoothly and successfully. It was variously estimated that its loot ran from $200,000 to $500,000 from several robberies. The police felt that they had a hard nut to crack , < then. : 1 But from .the time when "Shuffles, •"With biB furtive black eyes and his • low, Jerky voice, got Inspector Cough V lin into a corner of the latter's office and began to mention names, until - "Baltimore Willie" rounded out the story, there was a race to "come clean" with the officials. Even Dick Whittemore himself talked. He told all about his history, Sth the defiant toss of his large head d tne flash of his blue eyes which the 4gtectives came to know so well. • And he talked himself into a trial fof those Buffalo murders after the bank robEefy.

The Siege of Parte «c*ipHK price of a rat caught in the A sewers and half cooked (for fuel, too, Is short) is far higher than we formerly used to pay for spring chicken." This entry in the diary of one of the survivors of the siege of Paris shows the straits to which the gallant defenders of the beleaguered city were reduced for the bare necessities of life. Rats, cab horses, the wild animals in the zoo, plant roots, and even garbage, were utilized as food. Furniture, wainscoting and other woodwork went for fuel In that bitter winter of 1870-71, while the conquering Prussians thundered at Paris' gates, and while the fated city's defenders fought among themselves, starved and attempted futile sallies against the besieging foe. When Napoleon III was captured with MacMahon's army France had cast off ihe Imperial yoke, abolished the assembly and for the third time In eighty years had declared a republic. General Trochu, a brave man and wise soldier, was appointed military head of a hastily selected provisional government, his colleagues being Gambetta, Favre, Thiers and Simon. The city was at once set in order to resist the advancing Prussians. But here a new difficulty arose. Paris was full of sect6 and factions, each at swords' point with the others. In the first French revolution the warring factions had combined as one against the advancing foreign Invasion and had repelled It. But now, In 1870, with the German army already within a few days' march of the capital, the political parties wrangled, disputed and accomplished nothing. The only point on which they united was their disgust for Napoleonism. Instead of preparing organized resistance, the chiefs of these factions--"Social Democrats," as they were called--spent their energies In hampering and trying to overthrow the provisional government.

They stated that the city of McHenry's drainage system had been damaged by a breakage but that trouble is now being repaired temporarily and that,permanent repairs would be made promptly and that they would do all in their power to help keep the river in a clean and sanitary condition and the assessment for repairs would be spread soon. Resolutions were passed pledging all members of the association to refrain from running their outboard motors with cutouts open and to co-operate with all other associations and improvement clubs in McHenry and along the river. The association hopes that all owners of outboard motors will abide by this resolution and help keep that terrible, unbearable noise down, except during the time when special boat races are being held. This habit is a public nuisance ahd the association asks help in getting it stopped.

They Joked a tout the murderous hall of Prussian shells that scourged them dally and nightly with lire and death. They volunteered eagerly for military service. Sortie after sortie was made against the stronger Prussians outside the city, and each crushing defeat served only to Increase the warlike seal of .the brave defenders. Armies were raised la other parts of Prance to relieve the siege. Garibaldi himself took the field in behalf | of the stricken land. But, one after another, each of these relief armies was beaten back by the Invading German hosts. At last, on January 19, 1871, a final sally against the enemy failed. Paris could hold out no longer. Nothing was left to eat. For three weeks a bombardment of shells from every quarter had devastated whole sections. Torchu resigned and the French capital surrendered. A truce (January 28) was agreed upon with the Germans and elections were held. In this way a new national assembly was chosen, Thiers was elected executive head of the nation, a temporary seat of government was established at Versailles, near Paris, and peace terms were discussed. But the Social Democrats and other frictions in Paris saw in this an excellent occasion to break Into active In sitrrectlon. They demanded that Paris be an autonomous (home-rule) city, disclaimed the acts of the government at Versailles and opened an era known as the Commune. Communists were by no means new in Frence, nor was this their first active outbreak. They had been opposed to the empire, and now they had an equal dislike to the Thiers government So, March 18, FOR SALE--Small chicken farm, between 4 and 5 acres, M mile from McHenry on Lake Geneva cement road.
