The honesty OF Morris Davidson. who
lives at l13 Charles street. and the slip

The story, as told by Davidcon and
written In the police report by Lieut.. J.

Scribes on the police force. is as follows .
Davidson while walking through Liv-
ingstone street at l2:50 yesterday, saw an
unknown man pick up pocket book con-
looked like a diamond. and while they
were talking II over a third man came
along who said his name was Sam Cohen
and that he lived at 90 Gladstone avenue.
Then all three held n consultation and
concluded IL was good diamond worth
about 500 and decided 10 let Mr.. David
son take the ring and look up an expert
on diamonds or n policeman. and TO show
that he was an honest. good follsw and
would come back with the ring he left
SEQ OF his money and bundle containing
embroidery, lace. ladies' combs etc. value
sl0 with Mr.. Cohen and the finder OF the

nation that the ring was not a diamond
and no good he returned and found that
both gentlemen were missing. also his 500
and $40 bundle. He went 10 50 Chalkstone

There is something about Corbett that
seeTns TO scare the Terrible One. It
may be that mesmeric eye of Corbetts,

punch. IL may be that Terry loses
heart when he smashcs the Denverite
full on the jaw and il has no effect AT
any rate. Terry McGovern is not Terry
