On Friday, so Willis and Sterling eay, Granger came to them and gol t..em io go and look for the stuff, which they found at the foot of Thlrtenth Stieet, where It had been placed. Then Officers 55.mn.er, of the First Dis? trict, and Thomas, of the Second, gut In the game. They arreeted Willis and Steri.ng, and the party went to Captain C. F. Taylor's office. Detective Gibson sought an interview with Granger and asked him tu step aside. So far as he knew Granger w-..s not under arrest. Afterwards both -De? tective Gibson and Acting Detective w ilt shlre thought that he should have been arrested, but they had nothing of the ? own knowledge to hold ' him on.
