Kolar had been id the toils before, despite his youth, and had proved a crafty lad. Dodd knew that he had* been missing from hi# home in Spalding avenue for several Weeks, and took him in custody with­ out any particular’ motive in mind. On the way to the station the prisoner astoUnded the detective by announc­ ing that he knew the men who had killed Bhrotle, and then began a week of doubt and .satisfaction, each in its turn, for the police, I t was Kolar who had planned the raid on the grocery,-hut the police did not know ibis. Driven from hi# home by fear of punishment for hi# past misdeedSy lie had taken refuge in the lodging-houses that abound in Btate street, soiith o f Yan Buren, and there he had met Hnjuy. Together they sallied-forth in search of easy prey, and when they met with resistance from the youth they sought to sur­ prise in the Sacramento avenue shop, they shot him down and went back to. their State street lair empty handed.
