"A No. =, Famous Tramp,

According to the newspapers, the
famous tramp-"A No. Twas killed
in a railroad accident near Houston,

He was called the King of Tramps"
and undoubtedly he obtained more
publicity from the newspapers and
magazines than any other tramp tina
ever lived. He was fond of publicity,
and in every town or city he visited he
went to the newspaper offices. And
every time he goes into a newspap
office he brings his clippings and his
pictures and his letters from railroad
officials, certifying that on certain oc-

GUNNER KNOW

testimony In the trial of "Gyp the
Blood" Lefty Louie" whitley Lew

of Herman Rosenthal that the gunner
will not have to remain awake very
late tonight to learn the verdict

BILE as Lefty and the other gunner
started back sor the Tombs just before
$50 o'clock last evening.
But the grin seemed forced even for
the deep thinking Lefty" whose grins
throughout the trial have been forced.
For during almost three hours of the
afternoon the four young gunner had
been listening to Assistant District At
torney Moss sum up for the state,
three hours of careful analysis of the
testimony of the defense.
During the morning session, when
also for the three hours the gunmen's
counsel, Charles q. II. Wahle, told the
jury of the conspiracy against these
four boys and pictured after dispos-
ing Of each point in his argument the
horror Of the little procession of four
youths walking in turn to the electric
chair, the four well dressed young
gangsters gazed straight into space,
their heads slightly bowed.
For ono "Gyp the Blood" youngest
and seemingly most impudent Of the
quartet, was solemnity itself. The
quiet, black eyed little Lefty Louie
was a craven image. Tears rolled
down the cheeks of the more emotional
"Dago Frank" during the peroration OF
his counseI's address, and the bolster

on the witness stand had been the
most excitable of the four, wiped his
eyes in a shamefaced way, too, as MI.
