Measured by Bersillion Method.
Carr was brought to police headquarters
from the Criminal Court on a dead run In
the custody of Bailif Springmann. He was
pushed down the steps leading into de-

no shoes. and complained that his unpro-

been waiting all morning, as soon as they
saw him coming. rushed about the railing
in front Of the detective Office, and for a

chair between the doors in hopes OF hiding
himself.
