then leaning toward the man so that
the scent must strongly reach his
nostrils, said:

store.
"Of course" said DR.. F'urnivall

But "Chinky," who was found to be
conductor by the name of Alan
Westover, frightened so that he could
not stand on his feet when charged
with the crime, admitted his guilt al
once, and there was no necessity fol
hypnotizing him. He said that Satur
day night after his work he had met
Flanagan on a Car. He told him he
was going on vacation, that Swart1
was in the store with a big roll, which
he was intending to take home witt
him, as the safe was no good. and thai
he (Flannigan) had brought away thu
store key instead of leaving it with thu
boss, as he ought to have done, seeing
that he was to be away so long ant
might lose it. Flanagan was stupid
and "Chinky" easily got the key from
his pocket as he helped him from thu
car to 60 to Heuizer's, substituting on<

was that he was q cocaine fiend, ant
supposed he was crazy and didn't

Flanagan, released at once, wen
