EVES OF BLUE. OME day I'll bring Parrot in 6 here.” A little group of Headquarters men were lounging in the waiting foom which served as a kind of club; strong cigars were going Micely and the talk, as always, had veered around to the perpetual riddle of Timothy Parrot, the most interesting figure in crookdom these close observers of the characters and habits of the underworld, A per- tason could always start a vigorous ar- gument by mentioning Timothy Par- rot in the hearing of any member of the police force in as many as twenty cities. There was hardly a harness bull. pounding a beat but dreamed of snapping his bracelet on Timothy Parrot's wrist, hardly a piainclothes artist cocking his ls at Headquar- any particular value « McNamara had fallen down hard Parrot simply evaporated into thin air, along with the missing sixty thousand, leaving no hint of a trail to be followed. Six months jater he had bobbed up serenely in St. Louis with a beautiful forgery which no- body would have attributed to Timo- thy Parrot if he had not taken pains to acquaint the police with his iden- tity by mailing an exasperating note to the chief just before e vanished, to reappear, in the same fashion, months afterward and a thousand miles away. Brown, the other man with personal experience, was not king of the affair; he had come | oft with rather less credit than Mc Namara. It was McNamara, the brilliant star of the Headquarters outfit, who had been holding forth on this occasion WONANAUTOST. JNIMED BETWEEN CARSON DRIVE Mrs. Davison Seriously In- jured While Adjusting Her License Plate. Mrs. Louise Davison, wife of Louis Vermilye Davison, tea and coffee broker of No, 105 Water Street, with a home at No. 33 Dwight Place, Englewood, N. J., was very seriously Injured this afternoon in an unusual watomobile accident in Riverside Drive, between 124th and La Salle Streets. She was taken to St, Luke's Hospital with a compound fracture of the right leg, a broken left leg and severe internal injuries. Mrs." Davison, driving a motor car, stopped to readjust the license plate on the rear of her automobile, and, while she was thus engaged, a motor ear driven by Mrs. Laura Currie, of No. 506 Fort Washington Avenue, crashed into her, pinning her between the cars. | Patrolman Bolger, of the West 100th Street station, commandeered another automobile and rushed Mrs. Davison to the hospital. Mrs. Currie was ar- vested charged with assault and ar- raigned on this charge in the West Side Court. PRESS ws , i N. Y.

Harry Cohen of the Fox Film Cor- poration and Miss Mae Lewis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Lewis of Hartford, Conn., were married Saturday at 6 P. M, at the Pennsylvania Hotel Among those at the wedding were Jack G. Lee, Vice President, Fox Film Corporatio and Mrs, Lee; Sydney Abel, Foreign Manager, Fox Film Corporation; 1. Preiss, Auditor, Fox Film Corporation; Albert Freedman, Manager of the Fox laboratory, and 100 other intimate friends of the couple.

It was a plausible the + because Parrot dealt in so many different types of fraud and theft that it seemed scarcely poss! that any one mar could have done them all; his apparent excellence at disguise also ent color to the bellet, for the descriptions of him varied even more than the details of } of- fenses, One account described him as past middie <ge, bent and shrunion and feeble, with sandy gray whiskers and thin, graying hair; another mde him out to be in the prime of his forties, erect and robust and hearty, successes to his credit. There was a certain deference to his views even when his hearers disag: d with them.
