WHEN THE HOBO CLAIMED TO BE IRISH AND SAID HE BELIEVED ARRESTING OFFICER WAS RESPONSIBLE.

Ragged and dirty, a hobo, who lookd as if ha might be the advance agent for Halley's comet, blew into Richmond this morning on a fast freight and regltered at police headquarters. The man gave his name" as Patrick Green and when asked if he were married stated that he had never had time to listen to wedding bells and the tie that binds held no attractions for him. Besides being the most filthy Individual with whom the local police have ever had to contend, the tramp was also the greatest "kldder" ever, and pushed out a line of talk that would make George Ade's "Fables in Slang" read like high, class literature. Green gave the appearance of having dropped out of ' a balloon. His clothes were hanging on him In shreds and had It not been for the caking of mud which completely covered his

person, might have been slated at

headquarters for public Indecency.

The man Is a stranger to soap and

water. He said he washed, his face once;- about year ago and his friends

He said he was afraid to repeat the performance, fearing the 111 effect it might have on his tender skin. The Weary- Willie was arrested by Patrolman Voselsong more out of curiosity than anything else. It is alleged by Day Beargant McNally that the tramp was bribed by Vogelsong Into saying he was an Irishman and threatened with a bath unless he claimed to hall from a 'spot very near the plane where shamrocks first grew. The hobo waa headed west and told to "beat It with all possible haste out of the county? He expressed his delight over his brief appearance in this city and as a parting salute stated that It was with a deep feeling of regret that urgent business elsewhere required his hurried and ' Immediate departure from Richmond.
