who returned to-day, "to see Doyle Not
caring to have conference In Jail Officer
Hall brought DOYLE to my rooms. Arrived
there, three flights up, Doyle was greatly
blown, and we'll he might be, for he weighs
near 800 pounds. He was somewhat excited,

said, where the quarters were not quite

OF Doyle, similar to that generally published,
with more minute details. that will go upon
tho Secret-Service record.

such charges. They would rather say that

need. Hundreds of people eau testify to
that. Had I been the man they describe,
should have been rich to-day instead Of
poor man. Where lived fur 4 number Of
