Moran t~elephoned early from Larch-
mont. his home. that he had not been
away from there last night and on
%sequently could not have been In New

awaited a~nxiously at the City Hall. He
was an hour late. and the indications
were that he m us lave been the hero
OF the night battle, so when he ar
rived an explanation was the first thing
demanded.
"Yep," said he, at was me that they
