the stranger came and asked him, he told
the police, to 90 aboard the rroLc. ne
agreed and shortly after nightfall the two
went out to the vessel. The plan 70 get the
Cinnamon aohore was explained, il seems
according to this version, and after Lenen-
man had acquiesoed, the work OF landing
the Frolic's cargo began. =,
After the first squad had got ashore, the
prisoner said, he led them cautiously
through the most deserted streets and
passed them silently n by one through
the side door of a store on Empire street
which was opened just wide enough TO
let them in to the pitchy blackness OF the
hall OF room within. Returning TO the
ship, Lehenman declares, he waited until
twelve more had been put on n Ihen,
he said, he started out to pilot them also
to the Empire street place.
They had almost reached there when, BY
some common impulse, the crowd mace on
down the street from him. He says that ne

Boston, Oct. lO.-Complaints charging
conspiracy to smuggle Cinnamon into the
tatutes were made to-day before United
States Commissioners Hayes by Assistant
United States Attorney Garland against
William Duncan and John c. Lehneman,
two Of the men arrested az providence
this morning in connection with the seizure
of the Frolic. A complaint had previously
been made against Edward Jenkins, who Is
also under arrest, and against Capt. mar,
bert F. Colby, alleged to be the master oil
the Frolic, who escaped. -.
Although the capture was made in Provl-
dence and the men were struggled in within
the boundaries of Rhode Island, Fedora
officers here claim jurisdiction on the
ground that the alleged conspiracy was
Matched here. that the Frolic left this port
for it's cargo OF Cinnamon, and that several
overt acts of the conspiracy were COM
mitted within this jurisdiction.
Inasmuch as the conspiracy charge Is
much more serious than that OF plain
smuggling, the Federal officers hope TO sus'
tain a prosecution on this charge. II Ia the
present intention to bring. the captured
| Cinnamon to Boston, to hold them as wit

All four jabbered a while and then one
Chinaman with a cutaway chin and a bis
head lifted the skirt Of his pajama shirt anc
rubbed his brown skin pensively, which
act, be it noted, is the Chinese substitute fol
the English scratching Of ones head while
in deep thought. Then the interpreter Of
