remained there from July 18th to July 23d. On
July 23d he left the house without paying his bill
He went to Charles JEWELS livery stable, and
there hired horse and buggy to go to Saccarap-
pa, saying he was going after horse, which he
tried to sell to Mr.. Jewell before he hired the
team. Late in the night the man returned to town,
hitched JEWELS horse TO a post on Free street.
and left him. The horse broke Its halter and re.
turned to the stable, wrecking the buggy on the
way. The man never paid for the use of the
team and Jewell did not know what had become
Of il until its return to the stable without driver.
Yesterday afternoon man was pointed out on
the street to Officer Frank Merrill as the missing
Jose Officers Merrill and Jackson accord
ingly took him to the station and
Jewell was called in, but while quite
positive OF the fellows identity he couldn't
swear to him, and Jose was discharged. Later
railroad man, who stops at the Falmouth Hotel,
and had also seen Jose the astreet, notified De-
tectivc Ira True. He ascertaned that Jose had
arrived in town Friday, and registered at the Mer-
chants Exchange Hotel as L. c. How, and had en-
gagged to work as a shoemaker at Shaw, Cooling s.
Co.'S, under the name Of c. +. Howard. Officer

said he was born in Athens, and had come direct
from there, but amended his statement to admit
he fingered at Waterville and Lewiston When
he boarded at the Falmouth Hotel he had few
teeth missing, but now he has lost number, and
this change puzzled Mr.. Jewell. He told num-
Der of stories about himself, claiming when in
Portland before, to be an engineer by trade
When asked if his name was Howard why he
registered under the name of How, he said he for
got to add the three last letters and when asked
how he accounted for the L. C. in place of the C.
f., thought his memory must have been equally
treacherous. 1t is thought he has beat small
