time to free him of the charges

him enter the church. I asked one
of my friends to telephone the DO

watched him until the officers arriv-
ed. He was placed under arrest and
as the police were leading him away,
the man turned to me and stated that
he would get even."

graphed to his father last night to
claim the reward which is offered, and
