the woman gave an excellent descrip-

She said he roomed in No. Is Of the
same block, and his room was at once
visited. He was not found in, but in
the room was found a grip containing

him to the station, where he was BOOK

the residence Of Mr.. Mitchell last

Howard refused to talk about the
matter at all. but gave his occupation

well dressed, and would never be taken
for burglar. but from the amount of
