ANOTHER VISITOR.
Shortly afterwards another man drove

while as TO prices and designs. Mheh MI
.Iobuson's daughter who pays on the men,

The OFFICERS Opinion.
Speaking 10 q DlsPAIcHreporter last night
Onicer Hail SAID he did not believe the
two men mentioned abovewere IN any way
connected with the robbery. The hrst
nan. lie SAID, did not have time while Ar.
| Johnson was talking with the secOad to
slip around AID come III tho bach-door Oh
| the ottce. And even If be had he would
| have been i'll plain view Of men working
| IN the yard. To have entered and gone
out the front way while the two were talk
lng was impossible, as they We're standing
close to the door. HIS theory Is that some
one familiar with tho premises stole tho
money. All tie while Mr.. Johnson anu
the stranger We're talking they were IN full
view o. all III the ward, and Mr.. Halls the
| ory Is that some ono slipped III from tho
ard. and watching their chance quietly
| picked up the money and slipped out.
