THE EVIDENCE AOA1NsT THEN
Is regarded as overwhelming, aud hence no ono
sympathizes with them. They admit having
been itI Springfield elcctIo1,-dny-an aeknowl-
edgment which is accounted for In this way:
At the Central Station in Chicago, Saturday
morning, Detective Tyrrcll took OF Hughes
: shoes and bought him another pals. His object
waa to produce them In court, since one Of the
"shadows" had followed Hughes while here
to shoemaker'a, aud saw patches put on bis
shoes. DeprivIng him Of ttlctn gavc him to ull-
derstaud what use was to le made Of them, and
lsc therefore doubtless deemed 1t best not to
dcny that lie was here.
