learned that Mrs .Rurgo II her child
had como to this city after her husbands
hrfval, OH "a visit TO friends. Sending
urge to Houston in charge of
officer, the detective came ON
kere where he arrived Tuesday
afternoon. He made his business
known to Deputy Sheriff Lewis, and
yesterday morning they succeeded in
finding her the guest of ono of the best
families in the city. When the officers
made known to her the object of their
visit, she was amazed and began to
weep bitterly. She said, without the
least hesitation, that shchad the money!;
that her husband had given it to
her on his arrival at LongvieW.
and had she once thought it was not his
own honest funds she never would have
touched it. Her actions and the straight
forward manner in which she spoke left
no doubt but that she was telling the
truth. She rot what she had left, $l,OlO,
and turned il oyer to them and told them
she had t|elegraphed him $3.50
to Houston that morning.
Tho officers wired to Houston at nee to
have payment stopped. This with the
500 found on Burgess person makes a
total of 81 1850, leaving $40 yet missing.
Burgess a%vocation is not known. His
poor wife, who is no doubt innocent of
how he came into possession OF the roll,
stated that prior to last Sunday she had
not seen him for some time and she did
not know what he had been doing for Il
living. Mrs. Burge is II lady of good
family and is deserving of sympathy in
her troubles.
