crook whom he was on the trail ol,
had been arrested in Slater. Mo.
The story Is an interesting one
Some time ago w. whitcman OF this
city received letter from San Fran

brother, Henry Whitcman. The letter
asked that money be sent. Whlteman
sent draft which was cashed in
san Francisco, supposedly by his
brother.

his name as Henry Burgess ma Ie his

Whitman is now in Jail at Jeffer-
