Last Saturday

For some time past it was thought

the mail in the private boxes of the

Steve Muck was arrested. He was
seen to open three or four boxes and
then take a letter, open it and throw
it in the vast paper ba sket, which
was shortly afterwards picked ur.

his confession was only a ruse to:es-
cape his Missouri crimes. He be-
lieved in going to Sioux City he
would be discharged and set FREQ.
Instead as soon as conviction was
found impossible for the Robson
murder, he was taken back to st.
Louis and sentenced. Another son,
Warren Muck, alias Billy Miller has
been arrested in Sioux City q num-
