In the person of Feliciano Martinez the officers at Lowell believe they have the man who stole thirty-four pairs of shoes from the Phoenix mar ket two weeks ago. One pair of shoes recovered from a Mexican tu whom Martinez sold them a week ago has been positively identified by John Brajevich, of the R. & B. com pany. Ed Gallagher, the section boss at Don Luis has sworn that MartiNez tried to sell him a pair of shoes bear ing the same brand as the ones re covered. There is other evidence tEat the accused tried to sell Kendall" shoes between Don Luis and NacO. The prisoner himself declares nov that he bought the shoes he was ped ding about from another Mexican at NacO. He has also tried with the same poor luck to establish an alibi It would seem that the nets Of the law were drawing uncomfortably tight about Martinez. He is to have an early trial. and his conviction seems almost a certainty.
