ont of flies, he didn't believe he had
any use for the machine. Bishop stood

recovering his native wit, replied :
"Wcll. I'm disappointed, but darnrd II
I'm mean wont steal your flies -

Officer Daley to escort her to her home
which she claimed was at the Imperial
hotel, where her husband was stopping. The
of1cer. on his return, stated to the station
keeper that she did not go to that hotel.
She stated TO the officer that she had taken
the freak OF dressing as she had in order to
