bauch in Burlington and also TO find out
something more about him if possible.
Roberts came TO the city about ten days
ago and he has spent his money like a
real sport since his stay here. He has
appeared on the street in more or less
intoxicated condition every day, has
hired hacks and paid liberal prices for
them and spent his cash, of which he

Roberts said he was resident of
Montreal and that he has lived with his
aunt at 23s Lagauchetrie street in that
city. He said his aunt was forelady in a
steam laundry. Ten days ago he left
Montreal with S225 in his pocket, which
