brownish black.

and with good deal of intelligence. He
said he was 26 years of age and formerly

ers, and his mother, at No. 6ao Sixth
street, Portland, Ore. He left Portland,
Ore, on June IS because of fight with

that he had not been in New York, though
he afterwards contradicted this statement.
