He chuckled softly, and then there
was a silence while he pretended to be
waiting for an inspiration. In reality
he had prepared his story, as knew as
soon as he began to speak. Even a
genius like Peter Conley will trip over
it out in advance.
"When was marshal of Circle City"
said he, there was a real estate gang
that ran the whole town, and a crooked
old billygoat named George Warren
ran the gang. One day Sam Cleve,
who was Warrens most confidential
agent, came to me and said that he
wanted me to look up young fellow

Of days before and was stopping at the
Gladstone hotel.

stop Warren in a mighty important

could have SO much as leaned against

"Wiilett stalked away to see Fynes,
and he didn't come back. What story
the landlord threw into him / don't
know, but II was good. Willett left the
house in tearing rage. and couple of
my men Swallowed him. BY and by one
of them came back and reported to me
that the gentleman from Topeka had
called on girl-a right nice girl he said
she was--who was visiting some rela-
tives in our city.
cit seems he's engaged TO her says
my man.
meanwhile we'd taken that room all
TO pieces and put it together again, but
1t hadn't done us any good. 1t seemed
likely to me that Willett had the paper
on him. or course we'd thought that
probable from the start and had made
our arrangements accordingly. AS he
was on his way back to the hotel about
half past my men arrested him on
suspicion of being Implicated in the
matter of the spoons, and they took him
10 the station house, where he was
searched from crown to heel. But he
didn't have the paper
well, of course that made the game
clear Willett had given the court order
to somebody else, perhaps to the girl or
one of her relatives, who was to call at
the room after Warren got In there and
serve the document on him. So | said
TO Warren: It's all right. My men will
arrest anybody that comes on to this
floor during your interview, and I'll be
right outside the door as last line Of
defense, ',tiod N
''This was after we'd released Willett
with our apologies for suspecting him
in the affair of the spoons. One Of my
men walked on each side of him all the
way from the station to the hotel

rived, so maa that his face was a pic

he tried to hit me as he went by me in

Warren was on hand promptly, and,
after a word of praise and another Of
caution addressed to me at the door, he
went along in.

have a harmful document ON his clothes

clare that while Mayor Woodward was
attending the convention in his official
capacity he appeared on the floor of the

outraging the feelings and sentiments Of
the people that this conduct is not typi-
cal of Atlanta, aud that it Is most severe
~ censured and condemned
1t was directed that copy Of the reso-
buttons be sent to the Mayor of Toledo,
the officers of the League Of American

gies to make to Mayor Dunno, of Chicago,
for his attacks upon him in his talk at
Toledo, and that, while admitting that
he drank little beer. he was not intOx-
