place was a parrot, and as we began
our examination the bird kept repeat

"We found Bill in one of the saloons,
and, as we supposed, he had an alibi
all ready. Three or four scoundrels
were ready to swear he had been play
ing cards all night. Well, Bill was ar
rested. How were we going to get
evidence? There was a young man on
the police force, who said: Let me
talk to Bill and see if can't get con-
fession out of him. Witnesses were
placed near at hand, and the young
man entered the cell.
s'Hello, Bill!' he said.
"'Hello!' said the other, in surly
manner, when are you going to let
me out of here?'
"'Not very soon.'
"'What do you mean? You can't
prove anything. I've got my wit
