HOTEL ROBBERY.

The Tontfne Visited by an Expert
 Who Enters Two Rooms and Takes
 or a Good Haul-No Trace of the
 Guilty Party.
 On Friday night bold robbery occurred
 at the Tontine Hotel. The victims were
 George T. Durant, formerly night clerk at
 the New Haven House, and A. P. Hotchkiss,
 the wholesale liquor dealer at 260 State
 street. The robbery was not discovered un-
 til the morning. When MT. Hotchkiss arose
 he found his vest and trousers missing. His
 door was found to be unlocked. The cloth ing was found in the room opposite the one occupied by Mr. Hotchkiss, which is on the second floor above the office. After taking them the thief took them across the hall and rifed them at his leisure. He got gold watch and chain valued at $100, 8 set of
 Roman gold jewelry valued at $80 and about | $10 in money.
 MT. Durant's room is on the floor above. Like Mr. Hotehkiss, he locked his room, | but did not bolt it. He was not greatly 1 alarmed upon getting up about 8 o'clock to | find that his vest and trousers were gone, be- 1 cause he supposed that someone in the house had taken them by way of a practical joke ! The facG that ms QOOr was lOck00, however, l considerably puzzled him. As he stepped out of his room, he saw his garments lying I on chair in the room opposite. They had been divested of all their valuables, the $1OO gold watch and chain in the vest and the $45 \ in the pockets of the trousers having disap- ! peared.
 Other rooms gave evidence that an attempt \ had been made to enter them. Attempts | were made to enter bolted doors.
 1 The police were notified and Detectives Brewer and Reilly were detailed on the job They could not find any clues that would 1 enable them to identify the thief Suspi- | cions fell who asked for lodging l and registered A. Oakley. He left at an early hour and has not been seen since. It is thought that heis Abe Coakley, a New York
 crack burglar The job was very neatly done. A theory that is quite generally accepted I is that the thief followed Manager Mckay of | the f'Seven Ravens' to the hotel. He left the Theater at a late hour with $950 in his pocket. As the office was closed when he ! arrived at the hotel he took the money to
 his room and locked and bolted the door se- ! curely. He also put a chair against the l door. The lock of his door exhibited in the ! morning evidence of having been tampered with. MT. Mckay had attempt made to rob him once before No trace of the thief
 had been obtained up to last night, nor is it likely that there can be.

The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1884-09-05
A LETTER. FROM J. A. WILLARD
Editor Free Press.

1ditor Free Press.
On my return Saturday from several
days absence my attention was called
to u report in your last issue of some
meeting in which Hon. Lysander Cook
is reported to have said that he had
submitted the act of the last legislature,
allowing the Cannon Valley railroad to
earn its lands by building to "some
point in the town of Mankato" instead
Of the city, To me asa Mankato lawyer,
and that had pronounced it all right,
while for fourteen years | have coun-
not claimed 10 be one, professionally.
that ] have been charged with idiocy
or downright stupidity. And while /
doubt if any one whose good opinion /
value will believe the ridiculous story,
| can hardly let it pass without a de-
NAL. never read the bill referred to
until many months after il had become
a law, nor until | read it In the pub
lished volume. After reading never
pronounced the bill all right.
While | make this emphatic denial,
my regard has always been so great for
Mr.. Cook that dislike to believe he
would Intentionally misrepresent me,
even to excuse himself, or more par
ticularly the Mankato senator and rep
resentatiye from 80 inexcusable give
away of Mankato's interests (which it
does not do even were his version i'm its
broadest sense true, for they, and not
!, were elected to represent and guard
Mankato's interests), and therefore
prefer to think he is honestly mis-
taken from the following circumstan-
ces. A day or two before the adjourn
ment of the last legislature / entered
the Senate chamber, just as some bill
relating to the Cannon Valley railroad
lands was under consideration, think
upon its final passage; not hearing the
bill read and never having heard of
the bill before, l naturally asked some
of our members (perhaps Mr.. Cook. At
all events during that afternoon, while
! was sitting at Senator Fletcher's desk
in conversation about another matter,
Mr.. Cook brought in bill, which he
said was the one, and l think handed
it to me to read, and said it had passed
the house long time before that Judge
Brown had considered it all right.
l know | then thought, as our
members attention had been di-
rected to it, it must be all
right, and may have said l SO pre-.
suned To Mr.. Cook, but if SO, it was q
presumption, from the fact that they
had knowingly let it pass and not from
reading and examination myself. He
may have thought, because he handed
it to Inc, that read it,. but that does
not make it SO. After he informed me
that it had not escaped the attention
of members, gave it 30 little attention
that even thought the bill he showed
me was shorter and different bill
from the one which became law, bu
it may have been and probably wal
the same. J. A. WILLARD.
