on $500 miles of right of way, put
away his badge today after As years
Of detective work.

Among priced possessions he packed
was a copy Of the Atlanta Constitu-

Dalton.
Connolly told how he obtained con-
fidences Of the gang members by
posing as fugitive from the law, join

evidence to convict the gang and
local merchants who operated as re-
ceivers OF stolen property. Six men,
bers of the gang pleaded guilty and
one, with whom Connolly worked
closest, turned States evidence.
IF any of that gang had suspected
me for minute, wouldn't be here, I"
he ended simply.
This case, he said, first brought him
