search OF job, returning by the II o'clock
boat.
BE was met by man, who afterward
gave the name of Charles Mills. who adj
dressed him by making some inquiries.
He said that he expected gentleman
friend on the boat, and incidentally ill.,
quired where Kennedy was from. Th g
latter told him, and furthermore said he
was looking after job.
Mills asked him what kind of a Job he
was looking for, and be told him that he
worked in a restaurant in Salem. Mills
TOOK a great interest in him and told of a
friend who wanted two men in his
restaurant. Together they started out for
the eating house. going up Market to Turk,
and when near Jefferson square the
sharper STOPPED over and picked up a

plished the feat without its use. and finally
taught Kennedy how 70 open 1t.
Just as he had learned third party
came up and inquired the way to some
street. when Mills engaged him in CONVEX
saiion and gave him the lock TO open. The
newcomer said that he would bet S. or $50
that he could open it. Mills took the bet
hy handing over check on Wells, Fargo
e. Co.'s Bank for $50. This was refused,
when Kennedy became enthusiastic and
declared that he could open it and would
bet So. The fellow accepted the propo-
sition. bet him more-bet him all you
have got insisted Mills.
He continued to put up until there were
two tWenties and five in the hands of
Stakeholder Mills. Kennedy was TO open
it while the new man counted eight. He
had My cuunIed three when Mills passed
the money over TO his accompice, who
mad away as fast as he could run
Kennedy grabbed Mills and held him
until Officer John O'Connor came up and
arrested him.
