HOLSTEIN SAVES LIFE
BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Plays Vanity of Charles Criminal WISE Who Planned
TO Kill Him Day After He Left the Penentary

the jewelry store below. Wise also
agreed to wait while Holstein an
swered a phope call when Charles
w. Bogar, of the Bogar> Hardware
Company warned him that Wise
was looking for him,
This gave Holstein an opportunity
to write d note to the police.
Lets get drink" Holstein sug-
gested as a means of gaining time.
This idea proved agreeable to Wise
and the two went into the barroom
of the Hotel Martin.
"You ought to see the tattoo
marks on this fellows chest" Hol-
stein told the bartender and Wise
was pleased. You'll never see an
other man with such fine marks" J."
Holstein added. BY this time Wise
was eager to take the bartender to
the rear of the room and show his
chest This gave Holstein a chance
to slip his note to another bartender
and the police were called in time
to rush in and disarm Wise.
Wise has a long criminal record
and has threatened to shoot numer-
Gus persons before. There is belief
in police circles that Wise is not
sound mentally.
