hour Of the day. Crowds OF excited individuals
tnronged the outer Offices and assembled In groups
near the doorways 10 speculate about the "B0ss''

taken before Judge Bedford. The Sherin was IN
active demand all the forenoon. and the inquiries
for MIR. Jarvis were numerous that the clerk sta
toned In his cosey ONCE next door to the snerlns
came to the conclusion finally for his own
peace OF mlnd that ne didn't know any such
person. He had "never heard OF Beman and
Jarvis before, you Know although he had sus-
plcion that certain Mr. Beman and certain Mr.

how silly were the questions put 10 MN, ana these
were SO many and so varied that It required NO
small amount OF patience on MS part to make all
his callers go home satisfied that II not realized all
the Information they were anxious TO get and traced
to solid fact every rumor they had given ear to- they
