AnxIously waiting for news of the sympathy of his father and mother in his predicament, and having little hope of obtaining bail for his liberty from any other source, Sherman K. Hill the giant clerk of the Atlantic hotel went to the County jail this noon there to await trial in the Super 'or court on the charge of theft of sl,O0O from the Atlantic Hotel Co. His parents reside in Portsmouth, N. H.
 Before his trip to the jail, he with Charles /McManus, a petty thief, were taken out in the auto patrol for a ride to photographer, where their pictures were taken for the rogues' gallery. Hill submitted to the ordeal lmpatiently. complain ng to Court Off, hcer F1nnegan, his custodian of the lack of sympathy of his parents, who had not yet volunteered to help him out Of his predicament.
 Arraigned with half dozen petty offenders in the city court, Hill tow cred far above the others when he arose in response to the calling of his name. Attorney Paul Chapman ap- peared for the prisoner and entered formal demurrer to the charge. This was designed to expedite matters and bring the trial, if it is decided to en- ter plea of not guilty, into the Su- perior court, which in any event would have final Jurisdiction over such an offense as Hill is alleged to have committed.
 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney brief ly outlined the details of the flight of the accused from the city with cash amounting to s1.OS2.7O. Without further delay Judge Foster overruled the demurrer and ordered Hill held in bail of s2,5OO for trial in the higher court.
 Hill sat in the farthest possible cor ner of the pen and kept his face con- cealed with his hat Or with his hand. He appeared to realize keenly his dis grace and his haggard appearance plainly bespoke a sleepless night.
 The police records. show he is only be 26. His actual height, as recorded in the police records, is given as six feet five inches. But his stopping shoulders and slim stature. for he weighs onlv TO, serve to exaggerate his unusual height.
 Hill eagerly read the newspapers that court attendants gave him. Re- peatedly he inquired whether any of his relatives had arrived to interest themselves in his behalf. He said he had heard his father was very i'll and had been so for two weeks. His bride. to whom he was wed only last March, is not among those from whom months ago." said he. Among his eff fects was found a check for $50 from Florence Denman Blaisdell, an old check that had never been used. That was his wife's maiden name. Her parents are said to be living in the Hotel Willard, in New York City.
 At II o'clock he was handcuffed to Charles McManus, a hostler sentenc- ed to jail for theft, and the two were taken out to be "mugged'' for the rogues' gallery Though McManus is , feet Il inches tall he appeared midget beside the giant hotel clerk The auto patrol whisked the pair back to Police headquarters where it took aboard a cargo of petty criminals and hustled them to the county jail.
 Hills attorney, Paul Chapman, said the procedure of entering the demur- Ter for the prisoner was followed in order to protect the clerk in view of the short notice given him to appear for Hill.
 The arrest of Hill and Mrs. Cora Dayton tcok place as the two walked from train in Washington to the station. They planned to board an- other train for St. Louis, from Wash ington. As they walked from the train Detectives Cornwall and Bauer of the Washington police department snotted the pair. Cornwall approach ed Hill in a friendly manner, and ex- claimed,
 How do you do, MT. Hill!'
 Hill acknowledged the greeting.
 'eYou are Mir. Hill. arn't you?'' ques- toned the detective. Certainly" re- piled Hill.
 Then came the forrnality of displya- ing their badges. and the sleuths took the man and woman into custody.
