ed tray containing $4,000 worth of
choice diamonds. The theft was COM
mitted in daylight and was one of the
most audacious of it's kind ever perpe-
trated in that city. Moran was here
the early part of October, having just
returned from the west. and to friends
he stated that he had just finished a
term in an Oregon penitentiary. He
remained here about two weeks and
then went north, and in a recent issue
of "The Detective" his photograph ap-
peared and the story of his crime and
, subsequently his capture. He was
born and raised in Moline and was a
well known character TO the local po-
lice. He was a bad man and was in
quite number of scrapes while in the
city.

Rogers, the recently chosen secretary
