his due from this person who sells beer
and cigars IN the second story Of lSS
West Bridge-st. The officers told their
story as they Sad told Il IN police court,

man who sold the beer. This Is ali the
more remarkable. because Simonds Is

OF pair Of uncommonlyli light blue eyes,
| Understandable, that ie, without giving

line nose which drops from bridge of
fearfully dizzy hight; be has q deep
scar on the left forehead that seems 10
he fruit Of cash made with q knife:

on the face about an inch from the left
| nostrlI; beard and moustAche are each
peculiar enough 10 make an impression
on an obseryant man: and the general
manner of speech and carriage are al
| together unique. Yet two detectives
| who renamed IN this mans company
that is, If they did-long enough TO
drink three glasses OF beer each and
smoke cigars, could not testify whether
| or not this was the man they saw IN the
upper room of the saloon that day.
The examination before the u. s.
Commissioner will be continued satur-
day.
