THE WRONG MAN
'Oifitdtu enough the. wrong man is
limited in a search, That remark-
able train, the 'City of Saw Fran -
640o, was wrecked deliberately and
n•
114in-
jured,
persons were killed and

as the g ,
none go that one is no le toe good.
The wrecker• would know that as
aeon as the accident occurred there
would be people on the scene and
he Would hebe little time in which
to operate. x
Thews was soma man seen near
the wreck and he was described as
not having any ears. He was said
to have bean peering down, at the
scene, and at once tillage was the
cry that the -man without the ears
had caused the wreck. ?there were
statements madewhich said he
would be an easy individual to find;
he could not possibly disguise him-
self, And the hunt was on.
The man without ears was found
with no great difitoulty. He was
easy to locate because motgt people
have ears and, he was questioned.
Vie last word is that he has now
been released because it was shown
he was miles away from the scene
of the wreck for two days before it
took place, and he canto, not pos-
sibly have had anything to do with
it.
It would not be possible to say
how many times the same tiring
blas happened after a crime, That
is, public attention has been turn-
ed In the wrong direction or to-
ward an innocent person. The
maniac who wrecks a train is not
likely to leave lois card on the
premises. The same deviltry
which he employed in his first de -
Vigo would also be used, in making
an escape.
