Yesterday Father Mulaly took “Tarbot” out to St. John's college where he identified persons believed to have been nis classmates from | pictures, and told their nicknames. “I am convinced that ‘Tarbot’ is Chapuis,” Father Mulaly said. “The circumstances are all too detalled to be invented." “Tarbot” himself said he was sate isflad that Father Mulaly had iden< tified him but he wants a little more evidence before he is finally con- vinced inasmuch as he does not re< ber the name of Chapuls.
