from other cities and endeavored to
capture the marauders, but. notwith-
standing the combined efforts of the
detectives, they have failed to arrest
any person directly implicated in the
outrages. For a few days following
the McMilleu murder, holdups we're so

The police express the belief tina,
the outrages were committed by q
