not be needed until 8 o'clock, and
that he could take his wife for a
ride as he had said he wished 10
do. He did not mention that he
had been challenged by the guards,
according to the railroad statement,

No action mas been taken against |
the guard. according TO the railroad |

report that the guard had been
brought to this city from Cumber-
land, Md. where he was said 10 have

MED by railroad officials.
The man does not live far from |
Wilmington. It was stated, but rat
road officials refused TO give his /
