ices of the teachers and would make an

legged that he said he carried it home Satur-
day morning: Later he said he forgot and
did not take it to his wife until Sunday
morning. The officers claim that he was
seen taking it home Sunday morning and
this is why he changed his statement.
'H feel that one of my own family was
in trouble" said Chief Mcdonald as he left
the cell where Rollo is contend. "But it
is my duty to sift the matter to the bottom
and it will be done.'
He has been up day and night for half

suspicion yet with no absolute proof.
Some of the members of the force will not
