The lamp was burning, but the wick
was turned down So far that no light
penetrated tic darkness Of the room.
Alias soon illuminated the scene, how
ever, and disclosed singlorow Of shelves
around thc three sides, upon which were
ranged square scaled packages. A largo
raisin box, with the cover loose, was all
so in position on one of the shelves.
From this Walsh took a handful of loose
bills, including ones, twos, fiyes, and
tens, and presented them to Grceny,
who eagerly clutchcd them, for cxamin-
ton. If they were not genuine, they
were such perfect copies as to defy de-
lection; and SO Greeney said:

At this speech Walsh Alias rather
