facture took about three weeks. When
the department was informed that the
work had been completed the special
agent was again sent to New York city
to make the final inspection before &C

for shipment to Washington.
On the arrival OF the lay figures in
Washington the different uniforms were
fitted on them. That was a most diff

between a live person and one made of
papier-mache. The tailor had to devise
MANY schemes before he could do the
