Twentieth streets and took him up to the
Capital rink corner telling him to 60 home
He then went over the creek again, and
while going down the alley between Water
aud Main streets below Twentieth street, b
met Condry and McManaway
The latter ran away anc
Condrey waited until Bell came up, when
he told him that fellow had tried to do
him up for pair Of shoes, and said thu
fellow was standing just around the corner
Belle stepped TO the corner to see the mar
and Condry skipped by the light of the
moon" No man was there. and Bell start
ed up street. where he met John s. Arm
strong, foreman Of the Hook and Ladder
Company, talking 10 man at the corner
of Market and Twenty first streets. The

none other than Flynn, stated that be hat

: ALI he could say was that he discovered
that the articles we're missing and the thre'
} young men were in hi company at tn
