arrival and arrest whoever called for 1t The
trunk arrived at the Wells Fargo Office in

owned the trunk, would take warning and not
claim it. the authorities decided to take it.

out opening it. The curiosity of the Chicago
police evidently got the better of them. for they
opened 1t and examined it's contents, for Cap
