a charge of burglary.
When the prisoner reached the police
station he refused to give his name or
tell much about himself. He admitted
he had been in Uncle Sans service, and
telephoned for a son of an officer Of
the United States Marine Corps.
"Just tell him that Murray wants to

that he wanted him because he was

story.
The captain. it is stated. refused to
believe him. Halleck went ashore at
Vera Cruz, Mexico; managed to get ar
