AS the mans appeal 10 God for for

a solution OF a murder mystery that had
ba1led the police for many months. It
was the killing Of man upon the Fresh

Although Dean had been sought for
the shooting OF his mother-in-law and a
policeman. he had never been connected
with the Fresh Kills tragedy.
Dean was recognized by men IN the
convention and when they realized that
the awful confession was not the raw

rush toward him 10 take him In charge
at once.
Not until he had told his whole story
did the old fear of arrest return 10
Dean and then outside the convention
tent there was a battle and q chase
before he was finally overpowered and
taken prisoner 70 the West Brighton
