tales he has heard since he took the
helm of the police department. II had
taken my bath and put ON my under
shirt, when I looked around for my out
side shirt and twas gone. My wife had
fastened the stud in my shirt and left it
in the bathroom when she went down

tale, chief, but I saw that shirt on the
chair before me when got into the tub,
and when I had finished my bath and
put on my undertaking it was gone. :"
