REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Boston, Nov. 19-Two men were arrested
in a West End pawnshop this afternoon
by Inspector Rooney while attempting to
dispose of some diamonds to pawn
broker. One man gave his name as George
Elliott. % years old. of Portsmouth. N. H.,
while the other announced himself as the
Missouri Kid wanted in st. Louis for
murder and other crimes. and declared he
had Just come on from Denver.
Chief Watts refused to believe his an
nOuncement. although he looks like the
Kid and his measurements tally.
This refusal seemed to hurt the feelings
of the self-announced kid" but he later
gave his name as Charles Adams, 80 years
old. Of Lewiston, Me-.
Although the description Of the prisoner
tallies closely with that of the Missouri
Kid" Med in the rogues' gallery, the po-
lice say they do not believe he is the des-
perado. as the real kid would not have
announced himself so readily, and there
would have been a shooting bee before he
would have allowed himself to be taken.
