WEST CHESTER, Pa.? A "ghost"
which omitted low, distressed moans
and loft tracks In the fresh cement
floor of the newly built garage of
llarry J. Walters, of this town. Beared
James Masterson, the chief chauffeur,
so badly tnat he resigned.
Permission to exorcise the ghost
whs given last night and five men lay
In wait In the garage with loaded
shotguns In their hands. The place
was in utter darkness. Shortly after
midnight there was a slight creaking
sound, followed by the low moaning
as if of a soul in pain, and th<> jingle
of a dragging chain. Five shotguns
i exploded nt once in the dlrcH-t ion of
1 the sound and five chauffeurs simul
taneously threw down their guns and
' fled. At daylight this morning, sup
ported l>.v u posse of ono hundred of
: the town's bra\ est citizens, they en
i lered the parage and stretched out in
a pool of blood they found a small
black cat riddled with shot.
A local Sherlock Holmes took its
paws and place.) them In the tracks
made in the new cement and they
fitted exactly. Mnsterson, the chauf
feur, confronted with this evidence,
consented to take back the Job. ?
