Thorn's disposition was his manifest re-
lUctance to tell his friends where he lived

tell where he ever roomed or boarded, be-
sides those tho knew him while he was
at Mrs. Nsck's He had general way of
speaking about his residence, placing il in
his conversation SO that listener might
locate II anywhere within a radius of a
mile of a given point. He was also ad-
dicted to using assumed names At Ma
loney's Hotel, at tie corner Of Thirty-fouTth
street and Second avenue, where he slept
three or four times, he registered as Mr..
Muller.
