Gormon's Record.
A few minutes later l met Mr.. Cor
mon, who was here on some private
business. He was deputy sheriff and
later sheriff of Wayne county, and
turned up some remarkable cases. He
was chief of detectives of the Penn
sylvania railroad system, and his work
was so satisfactory he was offered
flattering positions from other roads,
but would not accept, nor would he
join any of the great detective agen-
cies. He quit railroad work to become
chief of police of Richmond, where he
made one of the best officials that city
ever had.
1t is understood that if Gormon does
go into this case the financial end will
not be considered, nor will he desire
to achieve notoriety, because his repu-
tation as a fearless officer and shrewd
detective is already made. He will
take up the investigation, if he does
take it up, purely because of sympathy
for the little girl and a desire to sat
