Irving stopped, lying very low in one of the
rooms of the hotel. suffering from complication Of
lung and brain troubles. After it had become evil
dent that Porter and Irving had made good
their escape 1t occurred to the fertile brains
OF of the Brooklyn party that the thieves
might have returned and be concealed in the hotel
A search consequently resolved upon, despite
the eutreaties of Mr. Retenger, who pleaded
his daughters precarious condition and the utter
imposslbility of the return OF the thieves The
whole house t,sned topsy-turvy. and when the
cause of the noise and turmoil was made known to
Miss Rettenger it affected her vsibly. consulta
ton of ply cians held shortly afterward and il
was unanimously agreed that the excitement caused
by the search had had the worst possible effect
