thought by the officers to be the proceeds Of rob-
berry. As there was evidence against thcm Justice
Otterbourg consented TO release them Il nothing
should be brought home TO them by O'Clock yes
tcrday morning. and meanwhile locked thcm up In
the Tombs. Ono Of the officers who made the arrest
went to the Rogucs' Gallery and procured tho alleged
portrait OF ono OF the prisoners and brought II to
court for the purpose OF Identifying him. What was
the surprise or the officer whom the two men were
brought into court at the specified time with thor ap
pearances SO changed that they wore almost unrec-
0gnizable The mctamorphoses had been effected by
shaving In an odd way and cutting their hair. They
were discharged.
