Aiello conducted him to a restaurant

there was some surprise expressed, asI

to.catch a thief, and as the white slave

to be acquainted with the local game.
Dallas said that his home is in..\'ew

stated that he had served a term in
Uncle Sam's regular army. He knew

about Water street.

He knew Dora Herman slightly. He
had been living in this city for four
months.
“I'll Walt at the Corner."
Coming down to the night of Feb
ruary 10111 last, Dallas said that he
was walking down State street on th91
and Lagno standing together As he
passed the two he heard Cesare say:
"Vi aspetla al cantone," (1’11 wait at
the corner).
He had metICesere before thatt
night, and when he looked at him, saw
that he was wearing a black but, and
not a. cap, which he had worn the
last time he saw him. The witness
said that he went to the restaurant in
Water street and ordered his spe-
ghetti. While .he was eating his sup-
per he was attracted by the sound or
a commotion on the street. He went.
out to see what was the matter, and
saw Dcra Herrman holding a hand-
