CAPTURE
Continued from page ID

find out that it was the real Lucy he
made that remark about. After this
/ walked as far as Hobart street
from where / returned to my hotel.
I would have liked to remain out
longer, but it being such a bad night
and feeling very much worn out
after my days travel l thought best
to retire early. I must say that l
was very much impressed to see so
many out on the first night; It shows
that the EVENING NEWS Is we'll
read and the people have every con-
fldence in the paper.
Thinks She Can Escape Detection.
so far there seems to be no i'm
mediate danger, after looking the
field over from a professional view
point, l have come to the conclu-
sion that I can escape capture in
Perth Amboy as easily as 1 did in
other cities which / have visited.
! was somewhat in doubt as to my
chances in this city, but after look
ing around and seeing that 1t is
a much larger place than / expected
/ see that l will not have any trou-
Bile at all, and hope to lead the peo-
pie of Perth Amboy a merry chase.
OF course some one is going to get
the reward, it may be in a day or SO,
and it may be in a week. l am here
to be captured and / hope to have
a good merry crowd on the hunt at
all times. So my advice to all the
people of Perth Amboy Is be on the
watch at all times, and If you see
omeone you think myself, go and
give her the ~salutation, for you have
all to gain and nothing to loose, and
besides some of you will feel very
blue after l have been detected and
you see how easy it really was and
that you have missed the chance.
People Are Timid.
81 also wish to say that I have
noticed that the people of this city
are somewhat timid about approach
ing me. There is only one way to
win this money, and that Is to OBJ
serve every woman carefully and If
you think you have the right one
hold q copy of the EVENING VIEWS,
not over twenty-four hours old to
my view and repeat, PARDON ME,
YOU ARE THE MYSTERIOUS
ELUSIVE LUCY OF THE PERTH
AMBOY EVENING NEWS. THE
LEADING HOME NEWSPAPER OF
PERTH AMBOY," and if you should
have the wrong lady, simply excuse
v'""eelf and leave her alone. If it
should be myself and the salutation
Is correct l will at once admit nv
identity and ask you to accompany
me to the office of the EVENING
NEWS where the reward will be
paid.
