came across Il pile of leaves. which in pas ,

lamp and the sack they were carried away /
in. The letters were those that were in .
the pocket of Winford's coat which was (,
stolen. and the old clothes were those that !
were substituted also by new ones from /

thieves were two tramps that had been
seen about town.
