making the tour of the downtown saloon,
frequonted by professional lOrgers anC
thieves, came across man whose desCrip
ton answered in many particulars that o
the "Iayer-down' at Dallas, Texas. Til,
stranger, when first seen, was in the com
pany of Philip Hargraves. When lnspec
tor Byrnes learned Of the discovery, he in
structed the detectives to watch the move
mcnts Of the suspected person, in the hOpt
of obtaining some information abou
him. Shortly after New Years, thu
man suddenly disappeared and could no
be traced. llargrayes was then Swallowed
and week or SO later was .Iound again II
she company OF. the man from Dallpg. Ii
the circular from Dallas Mr.. George Cole
man, of Norfolk, Virginia, was described n
being between forty-iive and fifty years 0
age, five feet ten inches tall, OF ilorid com
plexion, and having a full black beard
prominent nose, snaky and nervous eyes
slow in movement aud with dark clothes
1t was also mentioned that the fingers wer
turrowed, probably by hard work, and tina
on the back of his rigAt hand, there wer
half a dozen India ink spots.
MAKING COMPARISONS.
Upon looking closely at Hargrave'
friend, Detectives Dusenbury and RadiorC
found that he had prominent nose, an,
that his eyes were deep set and restless
Tney were satisfied that the supposed Mr.
Coleman had trimmed his WHISPERS, bu
were on several occasions unable to see hi
hands, as he always kept them gloyed. No
desiring to arouse any suspicious, the de
ecliyes thought IL wise to allow hin
full liberty. That the stranger was in
terested in some unlawful affair was appar
ent to them by the company which h
Kept, and If he was the Dallas swindler h
would, in course of time, they thought, al
tempt to victimize some one here, and thu
fall into the trap.
Inspector Byrnes was daily consulted II
TO the movements of Hargrayes and Tia
supposed Mr.. Coleman, and by his advice
Radiord and Dusenberry were relieved G
the tedious watch by Detective Sergeant
Cosgrove and Williamson. Less thar
Ia week ago the stranger, be
reyed to be Coleman, held long consulta
ton with George Wilkes, who, it will bt
enbered, was arrested December p
Is %, in Florence, Italy, and atterward
Uttered about the corridors of the genera

o. ,enth street and Second avenue, hi
h, dquarters. Although the detectives
AT the suspects heels almost nigh
a. day, they were unable to catch
y.rH Of his hands on account OF tn
glov S which he constantly wore
an her strange point was that h
wa, Guown only to few men, AM
they were criminals of distinguish,

! to nc authorities AT Dallas, Texas, !a;Jral

Co lman was in the city, and that if som
on would come on to identify him Ii

AT LAST UNGGovEp.
ON Thursday might last, Eddie Mathew

COsgrOre followed them and bought seat
d. ectly back OF those occupied by Mathew
and his mysterious friend. Tn
theatre was close, and the iw
men removed their oyercoats, and TO
the first time, in public, the Suspect
took oil his gloves, not thinking that dc
lccllves were watching his every movement
Mat hews' friend, during the evening
placed his right hand on the back of hi
neck to arrange his collar. As he did 80 h
exhibited his mrrowcd fingers and Indll
ink stained hand to the detectives. Tina
movement convinced the detectives of th,
identity Of the man. When these fact
were made known TO Inspector Byrnes h
sent another telegram to Dallas, statinI
that he was positive that Coleman wa
