the other man, and in the event of Herman's
arrest he would surely scent danger and
leave the city, taking pains to obhterate all
traces
The two detectives reported the progress
made TO their chief, who ordered them 20
watch their man day and night until further
instructed Inspector Byrnes then raced
Detectives O'Brien and McCauley TO work M
the other side. On clews furnished hv the
inspector the two detectives speedily learned
that Adelaide Stanton's friend WINS one Ed

tectives located Meredith at house on one
Hundred and Sixth street. near Second

a cab, Detective OBrien started for head
quarters
Detective McCauley took down town

the condition OF affairs to Inspector Bvrnes
before the prisoner arrived. The inspector
at once dispatched messengers 20 the detect

a few minutes after the arrival at headmar
tiers Of Detective OBrien with his prisoner
the other detectives, with Herman securely
bandcuiied, passed quietly into Inspector
Byrnes' private room.

by the inspector separately and together.
