The news of the arrest OF the much

of telegram from Deputy Sheriff
Hurley of Detroit, which read briefly,
II have Scanlon.'
For weeks systematic clues have
been followed, which were supplied by
Chief Malvey and others who were well
informed as to the anteeedents of
Scanlon, and II has been the theory of
the officials that the man would fall
into the net which has been woven to
catch him sooner or later. Scanlon
had certain habits which, despite his
natural shrewdness and artfulness in
criminal instincts. were sure to be the
cause of his undoing and further, off,
GERS had a splendid description of the
man. The only fear was that he might

while a report that the Great
