Which -was a county, waajruled by a "Grand Giant" and four "Goblins;" the smallest unit of said organization was a "Den" or community organization, of which at times there were several in each county, each "Den" being under what were called a "Grand Cyclops" and two "Nighthawks;" the said "Genii," "Hydas " "Furies" and "Nighthawks" 'were staff officers.

lowing its organization several thousand arrests of its members were made and 1,260 thereof were .convicted of crimes in the states of Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Marvel, once a millionaire mine owner and politician, in New York City, died here lately in the city almshouse, to which he was admitted five years ago. He returned to Taunton, his birthplace, about twenty years ago after failing in a series of suits to recover $3,500,000 from mining deals. Marvel at one time was a member of the New York City Board of Transportation, and occupied sumptuous offices in the old Trinity Building, where, according to stories he later told, prominent politicians used to meet to decide public issues. Taunton friends were told that it was in one of these conferences that deci-' sion was first reached to send Theodore Roosevelt to the New York Assembly. Standard Auto Sales Co.
