He , wants to he regarded as a financier, not : as an ordinary crook, as the world re gards him. EXRAGED AT ANDREWS. When the train stopped at takers field Smith was given an opportunity to escape If he had cared to make the attempt- Detective Wren and Detective Cowarden, the last named of the Pin kertons, left the train to get lunch. Smith was left alone" in the car. The •window was open and no one- was \u25a0watching. The criminal must -have meditated making a dash for it. \ He put his hands on the window ledge and looked out on the open country. Some women happened to pass and Smith ducked into a corner of r his room. Had the man the desire or the cour age to end his life he had plenty of op portunity then. But he cowered back into his berth, and when the detectives came back he querrelously complained because his meal was not brought to him sooner. Gaunt and haggard, a pitiful wreck of what he used to be, Edward Smith, the defaulting Tax Collector, arrived in this city early this morning. During the Journey from Needles he refused to leave the drawing-room section of the Pullman. Soon aY spectacled "and - bewhiskered man rushed up and greeted'the,'prison er, with whom he conversed { for a r few. minutes.'; Smith told the detectives that the visitor was. his: lawyer.^ but the lat ter declined .to I either/ affirm - or? deny this statement or to give his name:'"- ;^ At the foot ; of i Market % street T there was no one ; to <\u25a0 mcct \ either? detective* or: their.-; man."

When he pulled up the high collar of his long overcoat and sought with trembling -hands: to cover his haggard features from \\ the view of a hundred strangers he was the picture of despair. Biff ! Bang!
