How He Got n Free Ride.

An arrest is not always a stop; it may be
n mode of motion. There was an old
"butfer" used the title in describing
himself-in Manoning, a town near Phila-
delphia. who announced to the authorities
there. that he had, in 1866, committed a
murder. He located the transaction on
the banks of Charters Creek, near Pitts
burg, and said he had thrown the body
into the river. Information being tele-
graphed to the Chief of Police of the latter
city, and the records searched, it was found
that man had been murdered at the time
and place mentioned, and the murderer
had hitherto escaped. Batter" Burns was
forwarded under close arrest to Pittsbarg.
Less favored there than in some other To-
calities. they don't have murderer every
day. He became an object of intense in
terest; interviewing reporters crowded his
cell and decided that the Buffer" WAS n
queer dsh--in fact, rather jolly than other
wise. Residents of the vicinity where the
mutGer was committed, and who knew the
missing murderer, on being confronted
with the "Buiier, declared, however that
be was not the man; and others finally
identified him rs having circulated in that

"BuAcr' confessed again. He knew about
as much concerning the murder as people
in gcueral theredbouts; but he had become
tired Of Mahouing, aud wanted conveyance
to pit.burg The latter story proved to
be the correct one, and he WAS set at lib

for he had not killed anybody although he
