The detectives had arranged to ar

failed to walk into the trap they had
set for him. Another ruse worked,
however, and when the detectives
went to his home they knew he was
there. He didn't want to see the war

once so that his family might not
learn of his predicament. Then he re-
quested that he be allowed to see Mr..
Savage. whom, 1t Ia alleged. he had
charged in a letter with selling liquor
to his eighteen-year-ol son. In the
second letter he wrote, 1t is alleged.
Pedigo offered to com promise for

afternoon he offered again to settle.

was locked up.
Mr.. Savage received two letters
from Pedigo, the second of which he
turned over to the police. On We'd

Pedigo at the general delivery, and
Pedigo was taken into custody by
Policeman Bernstein, who was in
