belief that he was the man. the prisoner
refused to say word about any thing
To all questions he merely shrugged his
shoulders with a shrug that was char
acteristically Latin.
After long presusasion the prisoner

like Polish. Constable Max Firestine
was called in and soon ascertained that
the suspect was Polish vagrant in the
city only a few days.
He was eXonerated of the charge of

fort was made to see some of the absent
councilmen but none were located and

any, for their continued absence, could
not be learned.
