for Gehenna.
George was accompanied in his visit by
Sergeant White. As on the day before he
was met at the station by several of the
officers and escorted inside where Ser
geant Tucker had conversation with
him. George was then presented to Turn
key Solomon.
without further ceremony George was
searched. two dollars and whole bunch
OF pennies were found in his pockets. and
then without further formaiity he was lei
out to the cell where in the course OF a
few minutes Chief Black came in to pay
his respects.

years TO come.
According to the police George has \
way Of delivering his sermons that is
peculiar to himself. Sergeant White, who
saw him this morning says he does a
sort Of ring-around-a-rosy promenade.
