In that tramp item last week we
did Hannibal injustice, but it was sub
stantially as reported to us The bot
tie was one purchased by tramp and
was identified by the seller The
tramp had it filed with whiskey some
where or somehow, drank out of it,
stole the coat, put the bottle in it, and
hid it near the depot where it was
found. He was gobblcd up before he
had time to return and remove his
rum and booty.
