A Crook Who is Not Slick Enough
for Detective Hughes.

ASA AOeOScANO 4AuS
Sam Williams was jailed last
night by police officer on the
charge of being a suspicious char
acter. He was arraigned before
Mayor Paschal in police court to-
day and fined $50 or 80 days. Will
liams is thought to be the man
who has done some stealing in and
around San Antonio, and also is
alleged to have stolen some peaches
from an orchard in the city. AS
soon as he appeared before the act
ing recorder, Captain 7. j. Hughes
gave him one look, and at that
moment realized that Williams
was the man who has been jailed
before on suspicion. He was ar
rested once and gave his name as
Wilson. The last time he was
jailed, previous to the arrest of
yesterday, he gave his name as
Morgan, which, it is thought by
the officers, is his right name.
At the time he said his name
was Morgan, he was arrested on
suspicion, for representing himself
to be an intelligence agent, and
collecting money falsely from
green country boys. He is a crook
in every sense of the word, so stat
ed the officers, and it is likely he
will be tried for other offences
when his time is served out.
