least Also Mrs. HaWley will come

Mr. and Mrs. Hawley back to the

from st. Cloud tonight at 1890
o'clock,
For a purpose the sheriff gave ii
out yesterday that FIawley had been
located in ST Paul. lie had an
idea that McCloskey might be in
St Cloud also and therefore he did
not want any of his friends to get
busy and phone him that the Off
GERS of the law were on his trail.
Mrs. HawIey Was in ST. Cloud.
Mrs Hawley arrived in St. Cloud
a week ago Friday and registered
at one of the local hotels as Mrs.
Walton. She was accompanied by her
two-year-old SON. She claimed to be
searching for a brother of Mr.. Haw-
ley. saying that she was a friend
of the family and was sure that the
brother would extend the financial
aid sought in the hope of getting
Hawley released from the county
Jail at Mankato.
On Saturday last man claiming
the name of Mcclure put in an APP
pearance at ST. Cloud. He represent
ed himself to be a detective in the
employ of the Burns agency and was
working out of Chicago. He said
he was seeking p. ]. Hawley, who
had escaped from the Blue Earth
county jail Also he was hunting
for a woman and a child, whom he
had reason to believe was Mrs. Haw-
ley and her son.
Mcclure, or Hawley as he turned
out 10 be, remained in st. Cloud
over Sunday. Up to Monday morning
he had not located Mrs. Hawley.
Chief of Police Beck, who had been
notified by Sheriff Osten that Mrs.
Hawley was in st. Cloud, and he
believed Hawley would show up
there. kept an eye on Mcclure.
Chief Suspected Him.
He suspected that the stranger
was Hawley and would eventually
meet Mrs. Hawley. The chief stuck
10 Mcclure until two o'clock yester-
day afternoon He then requested
Mcclure to produce the credentials
that would certify that he was a
Burns operative. Mcclure put up a
stall by saying that he could pro-
duce them all right, and that if ii
became necessary he would do so
Chief Beck was not satisfied, so he
caused the arrest of the man, be-
lieving him TO be Hawley. He car
ried a black travelling bag which
on being opened revealed the name
of p. J. Hawley. All this time the
fellow protested. declaring that he
was not Hawley, but was himself
engaged in a hunt for the jail-break
er. Chief Beck was convinced that
he had the right man and would
not release him.
Mrs. Hawley Put in Appearance.
This morning Mrs. Hawley and
her little boy put in an appearance
at the iail. She said TO the sher
if that she had heard that her hus
band was under arrest. AS Mrs
Hawley and the boy entered the eel
corridor. the man behind the bars
sicnaled to Mrs. Hawley not to rec
ognize him. She at once remarked
You have the wrong man; he is
not my husband"
But the little boy was not so eau
tious. Before his mouth could be
stopped by signals or anything else
he cried out joyfully: Hello, papa
Even at this salutation from his
own son. Hawley refused to come
across with the admission that he
was Hawley.
Maybe He Was About to Pull Stunt
Among his possessions, HawleI
had a check which was made out il
