Robinson threw away a book when he fled from Po.iceman Oreagh. and In that wen- found several pages covered with names of people who made contributions to the old folks' home. That gave the clue, and Detective Cox assisted Creagh in making an investigation. Many mer chants whose names were recorded in the book explained how they had been led to contribute to Robinson s old folks' home The six persons who appeared as prose cuting witnesses in the tas? ill^d in the Police Court today were William J.
