When Morgan and his sister deter
mined to leave here this evening, they
had in their baggage a painting bought
during their stay here. This picture
many believed might be the stolen

AT the railway station, when Morgan

dred Florentine art lovers were on

mounted from their automobiles they
were greeted with a chorus of jeers
and shrieks. The crowd closed in
about them and they were unable to
enter the station.
Glaring about him the American
| fnancier started through the crowd.
But he was unable to make headway.
Shouting to Mrs. Burns TO follow him.
/ he began to fight his way out But
the jeering crowd declined to fall back.
With muttered imprecation and with
flashing eyes, the Wall street power
raised his heavy STICK above his head
and striking right and left, scattered
the angry crowd before him, Bnt
meantime he had forgotten his sister.
and the crowd, closing in behind him,

duty at the station, aided by the
secret service men, made an ineffect-

crowd Finally Morgan fought his
way back, and taking her arm almost
