Halsull first tan afoul the Wash ington government In IDOL when he kidnspped and held for ransom Ian H. l'erdicarls, an American subject born in Athens, and Cromwell Varley, his son-in-law, a lliitlsh citizen. Mr. Pcrdlenris, reported to be Itnineneelv wealthy, owned a beautiful summer villa In the llenl Arrox Hills of Mor occo, where It was his custom to en tertain many Europeon notables in lavish styln. One night, while a bril liant dinner-dance was In progress, a blind of ouUas, headed by Itaisuli, quietly surrounded the house, over powered the host and his son-in-law and carried them, still In their eve ning clothes, to the bandit's lair in tho mountains back of a Kabyle vll age.

Tho Sultan, however, dreading to dicniry the bandit by treating with him, adopted a negative altitude which further angered the American stale department and re sulted In the sending of several addi tional wiii-diips to Tangier, and the pointing of American guns at the Sultan's capital. II was at this stage that the fam ouh cablegram, "l'erdicarls alive or Itallstlll dead" supposed to have been 'ent by President Itoosevelt to the Sultan, wan read from the rostrum of the republican national convention, then meellug In Chicago.

Fol lowing the world war, however, the Spaniards, finding that they were un able longer to sponsor the extortion ate demands of the governor ousted him from office and drove him back to his native hills, once more an out law. Halsull, like many of his noted ban dit predecessors, was prone to main tain that he practiced brigandage purely In the Interest of the weak and oppressed, and thnt he robbed the rich in order that he might better re lieve the poor. Despite this explana tion, there is no record that hbi chari table bent dlclions ever extended be yond the limits of his own little fol lowing. ' Although he was a peaceful farmer In early life, he claimed to be of noble birth, and frequently produced 1 nnclent letters ptiportlng to establish this contention. His career as a ban dit began following his escape from prirfon in 1XS2, when be was 20 years of age. He had served five years, mnrh of It In a torture chamber, for an alleged offense against the Sul tan's authority. In character, ho seemed to possess all the traditional cruelty of his Moorish race, especially In dealing with IiIm enemies, yet he was known to display genuine eympathy fur a child In trouble and was noted for his kindness to animals. Mr. Perdlcaris, who wrolo a detail ed account of his captivity In tho haunts of Halsull, suld that he "really grew to like the man." "He was at once o gracious and dignified, not to us alone but lo his own wild adher ents," the writer continued, "that I discovered to my consternation I was beginning to accept his contention that he was not a mere brigand or ratlle-llfter, but a patriot struggling to rescue his Ilerber followers from the tyranny of the. corrupt eherecfaln orriclals."
