sounds too reasonable 20 be any
thing but fiction. and yet the library

OF variety to the romance Of bust

OF yesterday, but more ink was used
in signing search warrants and

only one that brought the stuff home
was the writ made out against Bella

enough evidence to hand him a
fine of $50 in city court, and the de-
tectives say that he went right back
to his old tricks.
When the Cadillac drove up TO his
place Friday afternoon and the de-
tail, headed by Sergt. Kos orowski.
