But when the sheriff tried the "unknown'7 with, "X believe your name is Mi;-Ginley,'1 Mi;-Ginley,'1 the man replied, "Ft may be; that sounds just as natural as any other name. " ... The man talks rationally on all subjects sub-jects of current .interest, and is well posted on both the Mexican and European Euro-pean wars. He remembers being in El Paso, Texas, at the time Villa and Obre-gon Obre-gon fought their last battle, but his memory of where he has wandered and what tie has done since that time is too vague for his identity to be thus traced. |
