repeating what he had previously
said, that his attorney in New Zealand
cautioned him not to say anything of

French. and he replied that he spoke
the patois of northern French. DR..

continue the conversation.

says the prisoner is ScotcAman with
an assumed accent. The detectives at
the suggestion of Capt. Lees provided
Maxwell with clean clothing prepara-
tory to having him photog graphed.

crowd eager to get glance at the
notorious prisoner.
