pers on the street corner, and who gave
his name as John F. Conley. He was
arrested on the suspicion that the slip
pers came into his possession dishonest

from Lewiston and had various explana-
lions to make as to how the foot wear
came into his possession. Last evening,

story which was rather more plausible

He said that Monday he with four
other tramps were travelling from Port
