Vending was found behind door in
the lavatory, but denied later that he
was hiding He was unarmed, made no
resistance and at once admitted his
identity. He was readily identified by
Burke and Ryan from the photograph
they carried. although the man had
changed his appearance by shaving off
his mustache.

The detectives were under the i'm
preston that Mrs. Moriorty was trying
to hide Vending and that possibly she
knew that he was a fugitive. The
woman denied that. She said that she
thought he might have got into some
little difficulty over "mashing" girls at
a nickelodeon and wanted to protect
him from the consequences She said
she had no idea that her tenant was
wanted for a serious charge. The
woman was badly frightened by her

has black hair and dark hazel eyes.
He told his story readily enough. but
when there came references to his al
legged crime he would pretend for
moment not to understand English.
The meaning of the word truth per-
picked him. He did not seem to under
stand that he was supposed to be tell
ing the truth but after the French
equivalent of the word had been used
he assented and admitted that he was
telling the whole truth. The frailest
part of his story was when he told of
the blood stained garments which his
wife said she washed for him Decem
ber 10.
Yes, that was maybe when [ shot
myself in the hand" and he exhibited
Scared left hand. Later the inter
view came around again to that point
of his story. When did you shoot
yourself in the hand?" he was asked.
