pocket of A. L. Singar, a tailor. whose
place OF business is at 18th and e streets
Watson. alias BIaslxy, declares he found
the PIN on the floor OF the tailoring estab-

When the young man left the tailoring es-
tabiishment In a hurry the tailor started in
pursuit, calling to pedestrians to catch him.
watson ran east as far as 18th street and
then south to Pennsylvania avenue. At
18th street he turned north but before COW
ering much ground was overtaken and ar
rested. Policemen Samson and Downs took
charge OF him and escorted him to the first
precinct station. where a charge Of robbery
was preferred. Watson had about $50 in
cash. two pawn tickets, q diamond pin and
a watch and chain in his pockets, In addi-
ton to the diamond pin belonging to the
tailor.
The prisoner told the police that he was
born In New York and had been in a NUM-
Der of the larger cities during the past few
years. He is compositor and shoe sales
man, he stated, and has been about the
country looking for employment Accord
Ing to his statements, he has stopped at
some of the best and most expensive hotels
in the country. but remained only two or
three days in city. When put upon the
scales to be weighed he noticed that his
weight was 126 pounds
Zone nights Imprisonment made me lose
six pounds" he remarked. II suppose II
should be arrested several times I would
not weigh anything
After he had been measured and photo
graphed for the gallery Watson was re-
turned to the first precinct station to be
held pending q further investigation. He
may be given a hearing in the Police Court

faithful to every trust that we ever re-
posed in him. His connection with us
began September 1908. thus covering
a period of only two years and four
months. In this comparatively short
time Mr. Benton built up high repu-
tation, both in the house and outside
and made an unusual number Of
friends.
"He worked in season and out of
season for the interests of the house.
IT can be truly said of him that he
always did the best he could.
"He had thorough knowledge of
the business in his department and he
also possessed the qualifications that
go to make up successful salesman.
During all the time that Mr.. BEN
ton has been with us we have never
known of a word or act that was to
his discredit. and he has gone from us
with everyone his friend.
t'To his stricken family we extend
our deepest sympathy and to our
statesmen and men in the house
we commend him as an example
of man who was thoroughly loyal TO
the house and had due regard for its
interests every day of his connection
with us.
