the worst gangs of thieves and bur
glars who ever infested Iowa, a few
days ago became intoxicated at Clin-

Burrier,s love Of drink, which had
- often been his undoing, is respon-
sible Tor his latest downfall During

hard drinker, and in several In
stances his capture was effected
| through his craving for liquor.
The noted criminal owed both his
conviction and parole to L. e. Fay

! every member OF the gang was con:
voted. Burrier.s testimony was the

release Burrier has conducted a res
taurant at Clinton.
