that he was the man who had spent so
many years behind prison bars, but when
told that the story would come out and
that every one in the hotel was ac-
quanted with his identity, he admitted
that he was Hall. AT first he said he
was located in Philadelphia with the Ma
tonal Wireless Telegraph company.
When told that the story would come out
he seemed just little dazed, and turning
to his bride said: You have married mo
and you are not ashamed of it, are you?"

knowledged that he had just left Dame
mora and that he was sent to prison for
forgery,
