ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The Money Restored by Mrs. Witroek-
Why Pinkerton.Went to Leavenworth'
ST. LOUIS, December 29.-A special
from LeayenwOrth, Kansas tO-dayS, says !:
1T was learned at late hour last night
that Detective PinkertOn came to this city
in response to a summons from Mrs. Wit
rock, Jim Cummins' mother who in
formed him iPinkertonl that she had i'm
portant information for him. When Pink
erton arrived ut Mrs. WitrOck's house he
was handed express packages containing
S22 900 in currency, which Witrock had
sent 10 his family after the robbery,
sending word by the messenger
who brought the money that he had Won
il by gambling and speculation. He d.
rected his family TO keep the money secre-
ted for him, rs he had shot man IN Chi
cago, aud told him that it would be at
tached for damages, and that he was
Obliged TO leave Chicago on account OF this
shooting. The money had not been dis
turbed, and was in the original wrappers.
Mr.. PiukertOn will probably remain here
during tomorrow.
1t is supposed that Witrock, during one
of his visits to this city, hid large sums OF
the money stolen, and that he will now
turn it over to the detectives. There has
already been recovered of the stolen money
about S45, 600.

To Democrats.
tn Us Editor off Rsgiaer.

To Tie Editor Of The Register.
SIR-In the coming municipal contest,
Democrats should see to it that good and
true men are selected for all the offices,
and especially for Councilmen. Events Of
the past two years teach that great care
should be exercised in choosing these, so
that we may not be again betrayed by
those whom we honor with our votes,
and in whom we trust. The present Coun-
ell contains several members who were
thought to be Democrats, were elected by
Democratic votes, and accepted office as
representatives of that party, but who
have betrayed that trust on some very i'm
portant occasions, all of which is simply
dishonorable. There is no excuse for it
that will hold water. 1t cannot be said
that they had the best interests of our city
at heart when voting against the men
who voted for them, rs the ques-
ton was merely whether DEM
ocrats or Republicans should hold office;
and on such an issue no honorable Demo-
crat would hesitate for one moment. Our
high toned representatives voted that Re
publicans should have the places-in COM
mon parlance they did the Benedict
Arnold act" to perfection. Lay them away,
Democrats-let them rest from such weary
labor. And be assured if you do so they
will be retired permanently, for the other
party is too wise to touch such Material.
They elect men who can be relied upon in
any emergency, for either straight work or
skullduggery, and they could not rely upon
any of these political traders. Nominate
and elect genuine Democrats and true men.

rock was induced by q reporter to tell
what she knew Of the case, as
her sons connection with it could
not be concealed. Between broken
sobs she admitted that Fred had partici-
pated in the robbery, but would be re-
leased as he had confessed all to the de-
tectives. She said that shortly after the
robbery Oscar Cook came to Leayenworth
and visited her one evening, and, after
talking to her for some time, said Fred
was in trouble; that he had made large
sum Of money on a wheat deal IN Chicago
and had some difficulty with broker over
the matter, which ended by his shooting
the latter; that he had to flee from the
country and wanted his mother to take
care of the money until she heard from
him further. This she agreed to do, and
the money was left in her possession.
Some time after this, another young
man, who lives in this city, but whose
identity she refused TO divulge, called and
left another package of money, and on two
other occasions two young men called at
different times and left money which they
SAID had come from Fred. When asked II
she knew the amounts or sum tota! she
said she did not; that they were large
packages, but she had never counted 1t,
believing implicitly in Fred's story, and
thinking she was aiding him by caring for
his property, and not dreaming but that he
came by it honestly; she had no occasion
TO use any of it, having money OF her own.
When asked how the detectives hap
pened to be here searching her house, she
said: when / read of Fred's arrest / I'M
mediately wrote to the express company,
telling them of the money and requesting
them to come to LeavenwOrth, and that Is
undoubtedly why they are here"
This seemed to be about all that Mrs.
Witrock could tell, and the reporter passed
| into another room where two of the detec-
tives were seated. In response 10 ques-
! tiOn as to the amount of money they had
recovered, they disclaimed all knowledge
of any money having been found at the
house They were told what Mrs. Wit
rock had said, and then admitted that an
amount had been secured. When asked
where it had been secreted, one of the de-
| tectives said that some of it was found
under barn, but not on Mrs. Wltrock's S
premises. He afterward denied this story
and said that the details as told by Mrs.
| Wittrock were substantially correct.
At this juncture a knock was heard aud
the two officers who had been absent with
| Fred WitrOck returned. Mr.. Pin6erton
was asked about the amount of money re-
covered. He first denied that that was
what he was here for and that any money
was recovered. Finally, however, he ac-
| knOwledged that the statements made by
Mrs. WitrOck were correct.
Pinkcr:On fully eXhOnerated Mrs. Wit
rock aud family; they had only done what
Others would do under the circumstances.
They have done nothing wrong said
Mr.. PinkertOn, land l anticipate that
when we come TO examine what we have
got, we will find it all in the same cOndi-
tiun as she received it," This ended talk
