Shadnn is a bartender in the Seattle Cafe. His possessions con sisted of but $2.70.' The police are working on the theory that the hold-up man was a pal of Sha don's and that the affair was a pre arranged deal to relieve Burgess of his money. Accordingly, the barkeeper was locked up on suspicion, and the police hope soon to locate the third man in the game. Burgess had made the acquaintance of Shadon early In the evening. He had been drinking and displayed the amount of his earnings to the barkeeper. The latter immediately became friendly and suggested a plan whereby they might go out for a time. According to the tale of Burgess, they had progresesd but a short distance when a heavy-set, masked man stepped from a dark corner and ordered both to throw up their hands, with the threat, "I'll blow your heads off!"
