money, che ks, etc, were sent by ex.

THE PRISONER INTERVIEWED.
The digcuise selected by Tiller was
that of a tramp, and his appearance
when he entered the station was no
better than that of any genuine tramp,
who might seek lodging at the sta
ton. On his head, drawn well down.
he had dirty cap, and around his
neck he wore piece of red flannel
wound around several times, as though
he was suffering with severe sore
throat or a severe cold. He had a
calico shirt but no collar. He wore a
very seedy overcoat, which to all APP
pearances had been worn for several
years, after being discarded by its or
isinal owner. When his overcoat
was removed, a shabby sack coat,
could be seen, and under this was an
other well worn sack coat. His vest
was of the cut which was in style 20
years ago, being cut very low, and
having lapels. 1t was made of coarse
striped corduroy. His trousers we're
brown, of Hoosier cut, and were not
originally made for him as they hardly
reached the top of his shoes. He wore
a heavy pair of w0ollen stockings, and
a pair of cowhide laced shoes.
When his cap was removed a face
was revealed that would not be called
good-looking. He is Of light com
plexion, with brown hair. His face
is long and lean, aud is shaven clean,
and he has large ears. He is about
feet 10 inches in height, of slim build
and apparently of about 140 pounds
weight. He is pale and rather sickly
looking.
INVENTORY AND REWARD.
The bank officers notified Messrs.
Carpeles, Parker and Hancock that
they would not be responsible for the
valise, as the amount of the contents
was not known. The valiSe was taken
to the United States Express compa-
ny's office by the three gentleman,
and the trunk found by detective Nc
Manus in Tillers room, was also re-
moved to the express Office from po-
lice headquarters. In order to obtain
the amount of the reward due for the
recovery of the yalise, it was necessary
to obtain an inventory of its contents,
and this was done at the express Of
flee. 1t required three hours to make
the inventory. The counting was
done by Messrs. Carpeles, Hancock
and Parker, Louis B. Schram. the at
torney, the inventory. Alexander
Mitchell was present during part of
the time that the inventory was made
A small table on which the count
was made was covered with huge
piles of bills, The principal denomina-
tions being one, Ave, ten and twenty
dollar bills, there being very few 800
bills. The result of the inventory
was as follows: Currency, including
the 81, 800, found ON Tiller's person,
$3S, ga; gold, silver and other coin,
1886 OIL; twenty-five gold and silver
watch cases and movements, inven-
toried at 1915 thirty-two pieces of
jewelry, including diamonds, pins,
studs, bracelets, etc, inventoried at
$3.50; two pieces of bar gold, of the val
ne of about 81, 600 The aggregate of
the inventory is $40, 035.01
WHY so MUCH JEwELRY.
Teller refused to disclose what his
object was in purchasing so much
jewelry, and it cannot be imagined
unless that heintended it for a woman,
who is said to be mixed sp in the case.
After he was locked up yesterday a
postal card and letter from Chicago
iewelry houses, addressed to Lewis
Payton, were delivered to him. They
referred to inquiries which had been
made by him with regard to the price
of jewelry. One of the letters was
from a house doing a wholesale bust
ness only, and judging from this fact
it may be that he had contemplated
going into the jewelry business in
some place as he said in a sort of jok-
ing manner, when asked what he had
intended doing with the jewelry.
THE REWARD.
Chief Wason yesterday presented a
claim for the S., 900 offered for Teller's
arrest, and also for 10 per cent. of the
So, 800 found on Teller's person when
arrested. Mr.. Carpeles made no claim,
he saying that he desired to have a
consultation with Chief Wason first,
with regard to the reward and he will
probably do so this morning. Mr.. Car
peles said yesterday that he desired to
see this question of the reward AMIGA
bly, settled, without recourse to law.
He feels that to his house is due the
capture add return of the money, and
that their should be fair settlement.
The st. Louis express authorities re-
quested Mr. Carpeles go to St Louis,
but he did not care to, believing that
a settlement would be made here All
OF the money was taken to St. Louis
yesterday, also the trunk The trunk
was not inventoried, but was opened
and found to contain a number of
broken money packages and the pack
ages of checks. Two packages were
