The man was staying at house on
Crowley street, where he had been for
the past several days. When accosted
by the guard Howe made no effort to get
away, but went peacefully back to re-
ceive his sentence.
1t is thought that Howe will not be
tried on the charge of being descrter as
he said that he had no intention of leav-
ing the army. 1t is probable that he will
be let off with stiff sentence in the
