"Another OF the curious factsis,

ga third curious fact is the short

bankers or brokers. The
Der will work his shoes and -
atauction. He may not,
but his fence will. The Gle
ier, who is embezzling fro l.~u.
to $4,000 per year, will spend it in
wine, cards, horses, and with evil com

Canada or Mexico. The thief who
steals a harness, silver pitcher, GAR

cash for it right away, and you may
figure on turning him up at some
secondhand store or the pawnbrok

''Tne ruts of crime are as plain az

that isn't catching him. There hasn't
been murder committed in Michigan
for twenty years without my feeling
morally certain as to the murdeIer,
but what feel and proofs to cos
