drove in front of the Jail ard the
sheriff, with two deputies, TOOK Schil-
Ter from his cell to the carriage. Sher-
| itf Bently and the deputies then entered
and were driven to the house OF correction,
where it was at first intended he should be
placed. On reaching trere the inspector
was absent, and the officers in charge re-
| fused TO receive him. A consultation was
| held between the sheriff and his deputies,
| and they decided To remove him from the
city. 1t is said he was taken to Racine on
the midnight train but gentleman
from there, said he was not there. II IS re-
ported from trusty source that Schiller
was taken to Waukesha, and is locked up
in jail there, An official at the sheriil"s
office said this evening that Schiller had
been taken away, but that he would he
brought into the Milwaukee municipal
court on any day set tor examination, but,
further he would say nothing, either about
the removal or wnere he was taken.
When Schiller was brought out of Jail he

charge as this banging over you" lie
seemed to be almost completely broken
down. He followed the officers in dazed
sort OF a way as though he hardly knew
what he was doing The failure to find the
register of the Newhall house, or any other
books in the safe which would show who
we're in the hotel the night OF
the fire, causes considerable surprise,
and many theories are put forward as to
what became of the books. 1t had been re-
ported and expected that the register and
transfer book had been put in the safe when
the fire was di' covered, and hundreds OF
persons all over the country were waiting
for the register to be recovered, so it might
be known who were guests OF the hotel on
the fatal night. No books to show who
we're employed in the house or who were
guests were found-only blank books and
lot OF papers. Mr.. Antisdell, who was
present when the safe was opened,
quickly threw the contents into q
box and carried it off. The number of
workmen at the ruins were reduced to-day,
and the work is expected to be completed
Saturday. Five bodies were recovered to-
day, making forty-three-sll burned be-
You'd recognition. The twenty-three were
identified of the dead and it is supposed
fifteen to twenty are still missing. The
chief of police states tonight he learned
one of the clerks ran out of the burning
house with the register, but stumbled
down and lost the book. The transfer
book has not been heard from yet.
