The street car conductor Dwyer, who corroborated the story that Croaia was seen coming down to wa'aad presumably look a traia cut of the city, is said to have since resigned and disappeared. An ex street car man named Tieman, whose whereabouts could not be learneil, had re cently been in the employ of iceman P. O. Sullivan.

It is a mystery that King has not been arrested before, though at ao time hss he apparently manifested any desire to leave the city.
