listed in the United States army at an
early age, deserted and served two
years Imprisonment in Fort Leaven-
worth, the military prison. 1t is there,
it is asserted, that he learned to cook.
1t is there, it is thought, he learned
to brew cup of tea by pouring hot
| water upon the tea leaves, upon which
lay a slice OF lemon. That is a COM
mon enough way nowadays in cities
and abroad, but it is not the way they
make tea in the country districts,
where the old-fashioned boiling or
sleeping is still used. It was strange
enough to have Helen Murray remem-
ber it of John E. Candless; for Jennie
Andrews, of South Dakota, to use that
as one of her means-of Identification,
and for Lucia Mitchell, Mrs. Kettering,
Rose Cerier, Mrs. Kingrey, the Peter
son girl, the parents of Jennie Smyth
Carlton, and the mother and brother
of Mary German, as well as the Mrs.
Hattie Schultz and her bandmaster
husband in Sands street, Brooklyn,
where Carlton boarded, all OF them re-

Schaub, who has accused him of
grand larceny, alleges that he was Of
fered tea to drink. DR.. Goldsmith has
sworn that the drug which De Martinez
administered to him to produce uncon-
sciousness was in a cup of tea. The
McCandless of the army and the Carl
ton of the navy brewed the tea.
The foregoing is the arraignment by
the police. There is something to be
said for the man around whom so pow
erful net is closing. Carlton himself
can talk for himself and talk quietly.

where there does not intervene date
or place or name he desires at this
time to withhold.
A Dangerous Man.
"He is dangerous man to have
loose" is the way Inspector Cross puts
it. How many woman have, fallen a
prey to his greed and vioicusness it
would be hard to say. How he won the
love and confidence Of these women is
beyond comprehension. He is a man
.of low, petty practices. a man Of the

women and they were as toys ii his
