IL was on the second day after the
pIstoLbuying incident In Simmons g.
Kleifurt's that Broffn. wishful for soli-

A letter from the New Orleans Of
Bayou State Security robbery. The
mail communication was significant
but inconclusive. One Patrick Shee-
han, a St Louis cab driver, dying. had
made confession to his priest For a
bribe OF two hundred dollars he had
aided and abetted the escape OF a
criminal on a day and date correspond
ing 10 the mid-Aprii arrival OF the
steamer Belle Julie at st. Louis. After
ward he had driven the man to an up
town hotel (name not given. He could
not recall the mans name. But the
destination address. "Wahaska. Min

fession.
Brofin felt himself short-sighted
from the very nearness OF things The
single necessity now was for absolute
and unshakable Identification. To es-

With two OF the three witnesses

only Johnson. the paying teller OF the
