near the city hall. The man was lacked to
cross town car, and thence TO Williams
bnrg. DE Clue finally found him drinking at
the bar OF Frank NasSey's boarding hoU Sc
south eighth, near first street. He gave his
name as William Wolf, and said that he
lived in Philadelphia. De Clue went up
Stal1s 10 search his trunks, and while there
VOL managed to take some papers from a

then seized Wolf and got possession of his
pocket book. In this he found five 50-cept

good limitations of the genuine siamp.
When asked where he got this currency
Nolie said Massey. the keeper of the hotel
gave II TO him, but Massey iiatly contra
