policemen in citizens clothes. together
With persons connected with the DEPART

3o0, eco inhabitants in this town, but there
We're surely 305, ,000 persons at the sta

When Detective weedon alighted from
the train with his prisoner ha.dcuffed TO
him there was a general shout OF There
he is" and the crowd surged through the
gates and over the fence at the side of
the train, all eager to get a look at the

MS prisoner and fought his way back 20 the
train, around the end of it, and up through
the station TO the baggage-room, where
Funk was placed in the patrol wagon, with
Weldon on one side and Boardman on the

from the railroad station an effort was
made to get rid of the crowd which fol-
lowed. but without avail When the wagon
drew up at No. 6 station there were few
persons in the neighborhood. but in a very
few minutes a large crowd had assembled.
1t was supposed that the prisoner would
be taken to Police Headquarters and a
large crowd assembled there, but when it
was learned that Funk had been taken to
No. station. little time was lost in get
ting TO that place. After Funk had been
locked up 1t was found necessary TO put
q guard at the gate leading into the front
yard CT the station in order to keep the
crowd out. Several persons begged TO be
allowed to see the man, but none except
those connected with the department was
allowed inside.

station, his attorney, Newton c. Price.
