Last Thursday a man of prepossessing
appearance, but minus his right leg and
using a pair of tall, white crutches
wrapped in places with copper wire,
called at the headquarters of Mr.. Pearpe,
the Chief of Police, and told him that be
had important information to impart.
The Chief granted the mysterious stran-
ger an audience at once. The stranger
told him he was from Louisiana, and
had been OF S:onewa!! J.ckson's
staff. This was preliminary to his valua-
BILE information, which was to the effect
that the friends of Clarence Collier in this
city had raised considerable sum Of
money for him, and that it was to be de.
livered to Clarence that night on the
opposite fork of the river from
Memphis. This was news indeed.
The Chief of Police pushed up
his spectacles, smscked his lips and said:
81 thought so" and looked wise. The
interview lasted some time, and before it
ended the tell stranger, who was rather
seedy, remarked, in parenthesis, that
be had been unfortunate in some specu.
lation, and was rather hard up, intimat-
ing that a small loan would be accept
able. .....
The Chief loaned, and literally.
Exit stranger. -.... 1913.
That night large force of police was
stationed or both sides Of the river,
watching for Collier; but he came not,
neither did any of his friends.
They were sold.
And the tall spectral stranger has dis
appeared, and may try bis hand in some
other city. He is represented as one of
the sharpest gentlemen that has visited
Memphis for some time.
