everyday looking tramps walked
into town. No attention was paid
to them. A little later one of them
presented himself at police head

the chief. He said he was Chi

was w. b. Tascott. the murderer Of
A. j. Smell in Chicago, February s,

force, was sent on the mission. Pres
emily the men returned with their
prisoner. The man arrested says
his name is Harding, and he was
born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in
