of Patrolman Robert Graham.
That was early this morning.

a pal, who was not caught, had
been waiting for a man with a big
roll of money, but failed to find

Tho police say the two might have
succeeded In robbing the proprietor,
Milton Prince, If the matron of the
academy, Miss Katherine Murphy,
hml not stopped In between. When
