some cushioned chairs, q plain folding
desk, bookcase and brussels carpet in it.
Fulton was there last Thursday for the
last time. lie removed all his papers,
but loft aQuantity OF various kinds Of
show bills, q package Of tickets and q
stub OF Duquesne traction passes. On
the walls were threc.shcet show post

divers other brief costumes, whose faces
showed delight ut appearing before n
large audience. One poster, covering
one wall, pictured alot OF females sport

said the pictures were used to enthuse

cd to get money without working hard,
and Fulton promised We could. He
wanted to measure me for tights as

/ refused and told him to get Il dress
maker. My sister was measured,
though. She had S6S when she met
Fulton. Now she hasn't a penny. We
met him on Penn avenue, neal Tenth
street, last Tuesday evening at 4 O'Clock.
l demanded u money and said |
would call an officer. The agent cursed
us and ran up IN alley. We stood
guard for n long time, but he had es-
capped. Iknow OF several other girls
who paid him money. but I can't re-
member their names. l will be salts
fled to work in a laundry for my living
hereafter"
Fulton will be remembered by hun
dreds OF people. He haunted the news
paper offices and sought advertising on
all occasions. He is a tall heavily
built maj and walks with q dignitied
step. A high hat adorned his head at
all times. He invariably wore red
neckwear. 1t is the opinion OF his VIC
tins that he has fled the town to avoid
prosecution. Sullivan and McCarnes
will make a determined effort to find
him, ut. all events.
Fulton returned to his clearinghouse
at No. 10l North avenue about 7 o'clock
las evening. He paid his bill to MIR.
Eide, the proprietor. Then he and his
wife took all their belongings and hast
lily lett the place.
