 to. Miss Dodge, lady clerk, saw Mrs Watrous place the book on the counter. Detective Brewer was sent for and took Wheeler into the silk room and searched him for the missing property. It was not found on his person,
 but the detective noticed quick movement of the hand made by Wheeler on entering the room. On looking around the room two ten dollar bills were found behind the mir
 TOT where they had lodged. Wheeler then confessed his guilt and said he had thrown the purse into the basement closet. He saJ s he only found twenty dollars in the purse, but did not open the middle apartment When Mrs. Watrous left he brushed it of on to the floor and picked it up at
