lance, was Chinaman. and a badly scared alf-starved Chinaman at that.
 Bling water" gasped the yellow ref
 ugee in the box car.
 Murphy brought the water. Then the Chinaman said that there were four
 more of his fellcw countrymen inside the car and that they were thirsty, too, and Murphy made two more trips for water Finally the first Chinaman, who had bs5n in this country some years ago, told the story of the party. They had paid an agent in Montreal to bring them to New York city, and they had besn packed for the trip in a car of hay. There Chey had been banged around for hours without food CT water until their leader finally decid- ed they must be in this city. So he opened ths door and saw Murphy.
 The watchman knaw that he had made find. He remembered, too, that the railroad company is liable under federal laws fer transporting Chinamen and he was scared. He mde the pas sengers of the car gst back into the hay again and te locked the sliding door on the outside. Then he sent word to the Albany police, who came over at day break. hauled the Chinamen out from under the hay where they lay, tremb- ling and hungry. and took them in the patrol wagon to headquarters. They Were fed and then handed over to the federal authorities.
 The. railroad men at East Albany noted very carefully the car from which the Chinamen were taken, and they saw that it was consigned from William Grafton, Bangor, Franklin county, N. Y, to William Grafton, Manhattan station, New York city. Bangor is within a dozen miles of the Canadian line. Manhattan station is on the Dolly Warden" branch of the New York Central at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and North river.

He carried a little valise, and after he had letla it at a cheap hotel he started for One and nwerty-n.rth street. Twice on Tuesday he inquired ait Man haitian station for his car of hay but it had not come. On Wednesday he came early in the morning, and the agent advised him to go up Ito Bronx park, see the animals, then come back and try again. By "Wednesday evening Grafton began to grow uneasy about the car of hay and the agent alo Man haitian station was getting sick of hear ing of it. Grafton came several times on Thursday, and grew more ard more excited cn each trip, as he found that the hay was still up the Hudson.
 'I ship her Monday night" he ex- claimed. excitedly, "and she no come yelt. l bring one big suit against the New York Central"
 Some time after Grafton made his last visit to Manhattan sltakion Thurs day, Special Agent Mclean, of the rail- road, and detectives Davis and Dunn of Mulberry street, went there, and tell ing the agent that word had come from Albany, learned that Grafton would probably De around the following day.
 All three policemen wenE up there early yesterday morning and had only a little while to wait before Grafton hove in sight. He was arrested and taken to the Tom5s police court. Nag iStrate Hammer turned the prisoner over J1 United States Marshal HGnkel, who brought Lhe coneignee and con signor direct to Commissioner Shields office. There Grafton was almost in tears, protesting his innocence.
