rage maker, POI Washington street, con-
fessed judgment this morning in the supe-
rior court in favor of VIM. M. Morrison,
his brother, for $2,537 on Judgment note.
The cause of judgment entered upon this
note is that Mr.. John Morrison's iron safe
at his place of business was broken open
last night, and over $1,000 in money alb
stracted from it by the burglars. Mr..
Morrison had been keeping his money in
the Bank of Illinois, but some difference
arose between him and the bank. and
short time ago he removed
the whole amount to his own private
safe. Mr.. Morrison only reported the rob-
berry to the police at II o'clock to-day, when
Lieut.. Shea and Detective Garfield were
sent to Mr.. Morrison's place. MIR. Morri-
son said that Phillip Dexhammer. one of
the employees, on arriving at the store
about o'clock this morning found the
safe locked. Something attracted his at
tent1on and the safe was opened. Then it
was discovered that two inside drawers had
been opened and 1874 taken therefrom
The police disbelieve his story and init
mate crookedness.
MINIATURES LATEST SENSATION.
Special Telegram to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, April 12.-The Matte Smith
sensation of yesterday has caused consid-
cradle talk in Milwaukee, where the family
has a large number of acquaintance. The
detectives ran down the girl seen on the
streets here, who was supposed to be tie
m - I.
young lady from Michigan stopping at the
Grand Central hotel. Curiously enough her
dress, to the mlnutest particular, answered
the description of the Smith girl, and her
looks were about the same, with the ex-
ception of rosy instead of pale counte-
nance. 1t is now learned that Matte Smith
had been Tilted by the young man in the
case and that on the train at Green Bay
she met a red-headed drummer from
Chicago who she seemed to be acquainted
with. They got off the train at Neenah to-
gether and put up at the
Village hotel, where they passed a
night and proceeded thence to
Chicago. Chief Wason thinks the girl not
the angel of virtue her good mother thinks
her to be, and says the whole affair looks
as though she met the travelling man by
appointment in attempt to assuage tbs
feelings produced by her lover going
back on her.
WAS SHE MURDERED!

MILWAUKEE, April 12.-There are a
great many people in Milwaukee who do
not believe that Mrs. Nelson, whose body
was found in the river, committed suicide.
The fact that her head was completely tied
up IN shawl and heavy piece of iron
tied to her body to make it sink leads
many to believe she was foully dealt with.
The iron attached to her was part of a
sewing machine. Where did she get it?
And why did she envelope her head in the
way it was found? Furthermore it is said
she could not arrange herself in the way
she was found without an assistant. 1t is
possible that the unfortunate woman was
foully dealt with, murdered and her body
thrown into the river. Owing to the length
of time the body was in the water it was
almost impossible to tell whether the
woman had been murdered before the
body was thrown in the river or not.
