the best social circles, his parents
always proud Of their son and his
many friends, did not even think OF
crediting the report Of his connection
with a Tenderloin crime till the New
York police announced that he had
made a complete confession.
An explanation Of how a man of
Winslow's reputation could be involved
in such a crime was found in little

young women Of the Frances Bradley

showing that Winslow was no stranger
TO the night life which his home and
business associates did not even sus-
pect that he knew at all.
