and on being brought to headquarters
confessed. to the officers that he was
wanted here for this robbery. and ex-
pressed a desire to come back and
serve his time. A letter received by

ton, with the additional statement that
the police court there had put him
away for twenty days on an ~intoxica-
ton charge to give time to investigate.

farmer of tho Thorpe vicinity.
