PROVE BREEN A UAH.

Captain Smith, of the penitentiary guards,. Mrs. Brittain. and another officer from the prison will make the trip, and expect to re turn about o'clock tomorrow eve- miMi , , . I . ..... It Is thought that after Breen ar rives at the Tollgate he will hedge and admit that he knows nothing of the boy, Or will, on the other hand, tell a story about the boy having been taken Into the fastnesses of the mountains. In case he makes good his word and returns the lad he will be given his freedom If not, he will be doomed to end the remainder of his days In the penitentiary. .
