his person were found documents and
money to large amount, and under his
lead the officers discovered, In house
of i'll fame on the south side, large
additional amount of valuables, some
of them in the original envelopes. The
amount recovered is between S12, 900

His method was to cut a slit in the

some unknown reason, to give any in
formation about him. These facts are
obtained from sources outside, but are
reliable.
When captured, Leist attempted to
bluff the officers, but was taken to the
station, and when examined revealed
his guilt. He made a full confession.
He is recognized as an old crook.
