reward with Mrs. Bannar's bag and with
out the money. Mrs. Bannar was notified
and she in turn called in thu police. The
result was that Graves was taken into Gus
tody by Captain Omen and taken to DO
lice headquarters. Chief Richmond insisted
that Mrs. Bannar's should not pay any re-
ward under the circumstances and Graves
was forced 10 give up her property without
receiving the SO. Graves stated that he
had found the bag on the car and had
taken It home with him instead OF turning
It over 70 the motor conductor. Mrs Ban
mars home and address were in her bank
book, 80 Graves could have discovered the
owner Of the bag without waiting until
