Wax was uncomfortable for the first

for Denham. He was little man,
who might have walked under Wax's
upraised arm. He, too, made an I'M

occupied nearly six hours, and MI.
Wood decided 10 postpone further re-
unions with old friends Of Oliver Us
borne days until to-day. Wax, who Is
something of a privileged prisoner
being held, though bail Of $4,000 has
been fixed, merely as a government

it was he who signed the register in
Kitchens hotel.
Rae Tanner is sure her Oliver 0s-

neck-such beauty spot as has James
W. Osborne. II is in this detail only
that Wax has failed 70 check up.
There were rumOrs during the day
that a Congressional investigation OF
the whole Oliver Osborne case had been
started, despite the popping up OF the
sef-confessed Oliver. but they were
impossible of yerifcation.
