GUNMEN TODAY LACKING HONOR, SAYS MARSHAL Old-Time Outlaws Different, Frontier Character Recalls. BV prr NEW YORK, March 16.—A frontier marshal who "shot daylight” through numerous bad men in other years today lamented the lack of "honor” displayed by the Dillingers, Floyds and other bad men of the modem west. Jack <Catch 'Em Alive) Abernathy. who as United States marshal for western Oklahoma put 732 men in the penitentiary, recalled that “they had honor in those days.”

'The old time outlaw was different” he explained. "If he said he’d meet you, he met you; if he said he would fight you; he'd shoot it out.” A protege of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, Abernathy was given his nickname by the President because of his prowess in capturing wolves alive with his bare hands. He recalled that he had caught more than 1,000 wolves by the simple expedient of choking them until he could slip his lariat over their necks. Still toting his old pistol. Abernathy came to town "to see the Roosevelt boys.” to visit some of the old haunts he frequented years ago with O. Henry and A1 Jennings, and to interest some publisher in the story of his life. Abernathy took a train to Washington after his automobile had been smashed in an accident at Atlanta. He left his card at the White House. and yesterday lunched with Archie Roosevelt, son i of his patron, in Wall street. “New York,” he said after his first visit in twenty-six years, "is better than it was, if that's possible, than in the old days.” A pound of steel is worth $60,000 when made into watch springs.
