Plain clothes men of the Davenport

Judge of human nature. The exact
number of his victims is matter for

small amounts were secured. An eX-

gathered from his stunt at the Julius
Banderob residence, 1109 West Second

the morning a party who had the APP
pearance of a working man rang the
bell at the above residence and Mrs.
Banderob, upon opening the door, was
